3 LowranceNET Node Kit for a NMEA 2000 network. Includes a 2-foot extension cable, T connector and two 120-ohm terminators. Recommended Tools and supp lies Recommended tools for this job include: drill, 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit for pilot hole, 1-1/16 (27 mm) hole saw with a blade type appropriate for the com- position of your transom.
4 Afterwards, clean the area around th e hole with detergent or alcohol. This will establish a good surface for the adhesive. 5. Using a high quality, marine-g rade above- or below-waterline seal- ant/adhesive compound, apply a 1/8" (3 mm ) bead of sealant around the lip of the EP-80R TH housing.
5 Cross section of transom showing EP-80R TH installed . Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network A NMEA 2000 network is a communications link between two or more devices that transfer NMEA 2000 in formation. LowranceNET is the NMEA 2000 networking system develo ped by Lowrance Electronics.
6 Network Backbone and Network Nodes A network bus backbone consists of network cabling, terminators and T connectors. Network nodes are made by fitting T-shaped connectors into the backbone (using the sockets on the sides) and attaching any network device to the bottom of the T.
7 All T connectors on your network pro bably will be connected to a device. If you want to add another node to a working network, add another T connector. T connectors may be purch ased from LEI (ordering informa- tion appears on the back page of this booklet).
