Your unit is a highquality, multi-function, digital gauge designed to work with a LowranceNET network. This is the NMEA 2000 networking system developed by Lowrance Electronics. Caution: Installing LowranceNET NMEA 2000 devices is significantly different from installing earlier Lowrance components without NMEA 2000 features. You should read all of the installation instructions before proceeding. This gauge will only work with a NMEA 2000 network. It MUST be connected to a NMEA 2000 network or it WILL NOT function. When properly installed, the LMF-200 will display information from a variety of Lowrance Electronic Probe (EP) sensors connected to the network. A NMEA 2000 network using LowranceNET components. All Lowrance NMEA 2000 capable devices are either NMEA 2000 certified or certification is pending. See our web site, www.lowrance.com, for the latest product status information. To get started with your Lowrance gauge, first read the installation section. It contains instructions for installing the LMF-200. After you've read those instructions, install the gauge and any EP sensors you may have purchased, then read the rest of this manual. Each sensor comes with its own installation instruction sheet, but this manual describes how the gauge operates with each sensor, and how to calibrate the sensors. The more you know about the gauge, the better it will work for you. Your package also includes another manual, part 988-0154-172, which contains complete instructions for creating or expanding a NMEA 2000 3 network. LowranceNET teams up the powerful NMEA 2000 network standard with a fast-growing, cutting-edge family of Lowrance Electronic Probe Sensors. At press time, the product line includes the EP-10 Fuel Flow, EP-15 Fluid Level, EP-20 Engine interface, EP-25 Speed, EP-30 Trim Tab, EP-35 Temp and EP-45 Water Pressure sensors. And what's more exciting, there are others on the way! Be sure to log onto www.lowrance.com from time to time for the latest developments, including updated operation manuals and instruction sheets you can download free of charge. When you're ready to expand your network, see the accessory ordering information on the back cover of this manual. NOTICE! The storage and operation temperature range for your unit is from -4 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees to +75 degrees Celsius). Extended storage or operation in temperatures higher or lower than specified will damage the liquid crystal display in your unit. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty. For more information, contact the factory's Customer Service Department; phone numbers are inside the manual's back cover. 4 Section 2: Installation Mounting Preparations When installed, the gauge will cover an area on the dash 2-3/8" (60.3 mm) in diameter. To mount the unit, first make sure there is at least 23/4" (70 mm) from the front of the dash to any obstruction behind the dash. The maximum usable dash thickness is 1-1/8" (28.5 mm). Also, be sure there is room to route the network and buzzer cables. The following figure shows gauge dimensions. 2-3/4" (70 mm) Gasket 2-3/8" (60.3 mm) Cables Threaded mounting collar Dash Dash installation, cross-section view. Caution: You should read over the entire installation section before drilling any holes in your vessel! You can install this gauge in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence, which is summarized below: 1. Determine the location for the gauge so you can plan how and where to route the cables. This will help you make sure you have enough cable length for the desired configuration. 2. Determine the location of the nearest node on the boat's NMEA 2000 network, along with the route of the gauge's network cable. 3. Determine the location for the alarm buzzer and its wire route. 5 4. If you want to turn on the gauge backlights whenever you turn on your dashboard lights, locate your boat's dash light switch and determine how to route the dash light wires to it. 5. Install the gauge in the dash. 6. Connect the buzzer wires and install the buzzer. If desired, connect the dash light wires to the boat's dash light switch. 7. Connect the network cable to the NMEA 2000 network. Recommended Tools and Supplies Your LMF-200 packs with a T connector needed to attach it to a LowranceNET NMEA 2000 network. If you are connecting to an existing LowranceNET network, those are all the electronic components you need. If you are creating a new LowranceNET network, you will also need a one-time purchase of a LowranceNET Node Kit. LowranceNET Node Kit for a NMEA 2000 network. Includes a 2 foot extension cable, T connector, 120-ohm male terminator and 120-ohm female terminator. For complete instructions on setting up a new NMEA 2000 network or expanding an existing one, see the other document packed with your gauge, "Setup and Installation of NMEA 2000 Networks, General Information" part number 988-0154-172. If that document is missing, it can be downloaded free from the Lowrance web site. Other supplies are not included, unless otherwise indicated. If you need to route the gauge's network cable connector through a bulkhead, you will need a drill and a 3/4" drill bit. If the dash does not have a standard 2-1/8" (54 mm) hole, you will need a drill or saw to make the hole. Carefully measure the dash thickness and the hole area before cutting or drilling. 6 The buzzer installation requires two cable ties and two wire nuts or other wire connectors. If you need to extend any of the buzzer or dash light wires, use a minimum of 24 gauge wire and wire connectors of your choice. Wire nuts or electrical tape are required to cap any unused bare wires. Mounting the Gauge When you determine the location for the LMF-200, drill a 2-1/8" (54 mm) hole in the dash or use an existing gauge hole. Slide the unit's cables through the hole from the front side of the dash, then push the LMF-200 housing through the hole until it is flush with the dash surface. Make sure the face of the gauge is aligned correctly. Next, slide the rubber gasket and plastic-mounting collar over the cables and onto the back side of the gauge. Insert gauge through the hole in the front side of the dash (left). Slide the rubber gasket over the cables, followed by the plastic collar (right). Slide the gasket forward so it is flush with the back of the dash, then screw on the mounting collar, turning it until it is snug against the gasket and the back of the dash. Find a buzzer location that is protected from the elements, but still lets you hear it. We recommend that you connect the buzzer wires according to the figure on the following page, then use two cable ties and attach the buzzer to one or both of the cables at the back of the gauge. If desired, connect the dash light wires as shown in the following figure. Finish the installation by plugging the network cable into the network. Wiring The LMF-200 draws operating power from the NMEA 2000 network. The gauge does not have an on/off switch -- whenever the network has power, the LMF-200 is on and drawing current. 7 Ideally, the NMEA 2000 network itself is powered from a switch on the boat's accessory panel, allowing network power to be turned on and off. To automatically turn on the gauge backlights when you turn on your other dashboard lights, connect the red dash light wire to the switch controlling the dash lights and connect the black dash light wire to LMF white wire to ground.

Caution: The bare ends on any unused wires could cause an electrical short if left exposed. To prevent this, you should cover the individual wire ends -- either by capping them with wire nuts or wrapping them with electrical tape. (You should cut off the bare wire before taping off the ends.) Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network A network bus is an installed and operational network cable (backbone) running the length of your boat, already connected to a power supply and properly terminated. Such a bus provides network connection nodes at various locations around your boat. This is similar to the telephone wiring in a house. If you pick up a phone in your living room, you can hear someone talking into the phone in the bedroom. Network Nodes A network bus is built of network nodes spread along a backbone. Network nodes are made by fitting T-shaped connectors into the backbone (using the sockets on the sides), and attaching a display unit or sensor at the bottom of the "T." Using our telephone example, the T connectors are similar to telephone jacks. The backbone is like the phone wiring running through a house. 8 Phones in a house must be connected to each other to communicate, and in the same way only sensors and display units plugged into the NMEA network can share information. Connections found in the middle of the bus will have one or more of these T-shaped connectors with the backbone cables plugged into both sides. Connections at the end of a network will have the backbone plugged into one side, and a terminator plugged into the other, as shown in the following figure. Cable from sensor or display unit T connector LEI or Lowrance device needs an open T. Terminator at the very end of the bus Backbone cable (to rest of bus) NMEA 2000 network node located at the end of a NMEA 2000 bus. Adding a Network Node You can add a node anywhere along the network backbone where a connection already exists. This connection could be at the end of the network (between a T connector and a terminator), between two T connectors, between a T connector and a backbone extension cable, or between two extension cables. Wherever you want to add the new node, simply separate the sockets of the old connection and attach your new T connector between them. Lowrance or LEI device connects to new T connector. Add T-shaped connector to add device to bus. Attach terminator at end of bus. Existing network node Add a new device to a NMEA 2000 bus by attaching a T connector between two T connectors, between a T connector and the end terminator, or between two backbone extension cables. 9 If you want to add a node at the end of the line (as shown in the previous figure), remove the terminator from the very last connector, securely attach the new T connector, and then attach the terminator on the new connector. Either method will allow you to add a device. Additional Network Information Further instructions on creating or expanding a LowranceNET network are illustrated in the NMEA 2000 network setup booklet, part number 988-0154-172, which came packed with this manual. 10 Section 3: Operation The displays and settings in this digital gauge are controlled by a three-button keypad. The buttons are UP, DOWN and MENU. The MENU key calls up the basic menu, which allows you to set up pages for display. The UP and DOWN keys are used to scroll through and highlight menu items.

It is the device manager for the bus, allowing you to configure and unconfigure devices and set and reset critical values such as alarms and calibration. NOTE: Devices will vary in name and number depending on what has been connected to the LowranceNET. For example, you may have several temperature sensors to configure. The number of temp sensors attached to the network will match the number that comes up on the Bus Devices list. If you configure or reconfigure a sensor, you're assigning or reassigning its designation in the LMF-200 to a different sensor location on the boat. The following items can be configured, unconfigured or reconfigured: Temperature Sensors (UnCfg Tmp), Fuel Flow Sensors (UnCfg FF) and Fluid Level (UnCfg FL). The UnCfg Tmp, UnCfg FF and the UnCfg FL all are unconfigured. Proceed through this section to configure each one. You can have multiple Temperature sensors and Fluid Level Tanks, but will have no more than three Fuel Flows to configure since the LMF-200 supports a maximum of three engines on a vessel. The GPS Module and Paddle Wheel Speed do not need to be configured. Trim Tabs are configured through the pages menu, which will be addressed later in this section. NOTE: If you configure the desired sensors and are not satisfied with the results, you may clear the configuration settings for each sensor individually, by resetting values from the sensor's configuration menu. Remember, ONLY the sensor you select from the Bus Devices list will be set back to its defaults. To reset the LMF-200 to its defaults, you must select RESET from the System Setup Menu. . We'll take a closer look at the Reset command later in this section. 19 To get to the configuration menu: 1. Press MENU, select SYSTEM SETUP and press MENU. 2.

Calibration Calibrating Fluid level is an important step to ensuring the status of your tank is correctly transmitted over the NMEA 2000 bus. For example: if you have an odd-shaped tank, like one that is wider at the top than at the bottom, the float inside the tank will tell you there is a half tank of gas when it reaches the midpoint of the tank, regardless of the tank's actual capacity below the midpoint. That could cause you to run out of gas more quickly than expected. Whether the tank is configured for Fuel, Fresh Water, Waste Water, Black Water or Oil, calibrating the Fluid Level protects you from unpleasant surprises. NOTE: To run a system check for devices connected to the NMEA 2000 network, select BUS DEVICES from the System Setup menu and press MENU. A Searching Bus Devices message comes up, followed by a list of all devices attached to the LowranceNET -- the Bus Devices list. To select an item from the bus devices list, use the UP and DOWN keys to scroll through the list. Highlight the desired category and press MENU. To calibrate a tank: 1. Press MENU, select SYSTEM SETUP and press MENU. 2. From the System Setup menu, highlight BUS DEVICES and press MENU to bring up the Bus Devices list. 3. From the devices list, highlight the fluid level source you want to calibrate and press MENU, then select CAL and press MENU. A menu will appear with three calibration options: 2 point, 3 point and 5 point. 26 To execute 2-Point Calibration: there will be a pair of settings in the 2-point calibration menu: Empty Level and Full Level. 2-Point calibration is best for rectangular or square shaped tanks that allow the fuel level sensor to provide an accurate reading of the fuel level at the top and bottom of the tank. 1. Choose the level (EMPTY OR FULL LEVEL) that corresponds with your tank's current fuel level and press MENU. If you choose FULL LEVEL, the following message will appear: Cal Tank to Full Level Hit Menu. 2. Press MENU and you will be taken back to the 2-point menu. To execute 3-Point Calibration: there will be three options in the 3point calibration menu: Empty Level, Half Level and Full Level. 3-point calibration is designed for tanks that vary in shape from the top to the bottom, leading to an inaccurate fuel level sensor reading, without calibration, in the narrower, bottom portion of the tank. 1. Choose the level (EMPTY, HALF OR FULL LEVEL) that corresponds with your tank's current fuel level and press MENU. If you choose HALF LEVEL, the following message will appear: Cal Tank to Half Level Hit Menu. 2. Press MENU and you will be taken back to the 3-point menu. To execute 5-point Calibration: there will be five options in the 5point calibration menu: Empty Level, 1 Qtr Level, Half Level, 3 Qtr Level and Full Level. 5-point calibration is designed for the most uniquely formed tanks that vary greatly in shape from top to bottom, making an accurate fuel level sensor reading impossible without calibration. 1. Choose the level (Empty, 1 Qtr, Half, 3 Qtr or Full level) that corresponds with your tank's current fuel level and press MENU. If you chose 3-QUARTER LEVEL, the following message will appear: Cal Tank to 3 Qtr Level Hit Menu. 2. Press MENU and you will be directed back to the 5-point menu. Fuel Flow If using the EP-10 Fuel Flow as the Fuel Remaining source, you must tell the unit when you add fuel or fill the tank. If just adding fuel, but not topping off the tank, use the PARTIAL FILL option and enter the amount of fuel added. WARNING: Be sure to carefully follow these instructions, otherwise fuel calibration could be inaccurate, resulting in incorrect Fuel Flow, Fuel Remaining, Fuel Economy and 27 Fuel Range readings. If you are topping off the tank, but do not want or need to calibrate the unit, select the FILL TANK option and choose NO on the Calibrate option. To calibrate the EP-10 Fuel Flow, you must use the Refill Tank option. 1. First, fill up the vessel's tank and enter in that the tank has been refilled, but do not recalibrate. 2. Once you have burned at least 5 gallons of fuel, fill up the tank again, carefully noting how much fuel was added to top off the tank. The amount of fuel added should be very close to the amount of FUEL USED shown by the gauge. If the difference between these two figures is greater than 5 percent, then you need to recalibrate the unit. 3. To do this, after entering the tank has been refilled, select YES on the RECALIBRATE option. 4. Then use the UP and DOWN keys to enter the amount of fuel added to fill the tank. The calibration is calculated by comparing the actual fuel used to the calculated fuel used. It is vital to get an accurate reading on the actual fuel used and the amount of fuel added to fill the tank the second time. On dual and triple engine installations, only one engine should be run when planning to calibrate the EP-10 Fuel Flow. This is the only way to know how much fuel has gone through the EP-10 Fuel Flow you want to calibrate. Refill Tank 1. After you have filled the gas tank, scroll through the pages until the Fuel Manager page is on the main display. Press MENU. 2. Highlight FUEL SETUP and press MENU. 3.
