Lowrance NMEA2000 Networking

Lowrance now brings multi-device data communications networking within easy reach of even the smallest boats and budgets with the NMEA 2000® networking system.

The NMEA 2000® solution offers unique advantages in a networking package for multi-station sensing and display of boat systems and engine functions. Those key benefits include simplicity, easy installation, versatility and ease of sensor/display/system expansion, excellent performance and amazing affordability.

About NMEA 2000®
It's the new world standard in marine electronics data protocol, established by the National Marine Electronics Association, for networking multiple instruments on boat. Simply put, any NMEA 2000® certified device (sensor, sonar, GPS, multi-function gauge, etc.), regardless of brand, will share and/or display user-selectable data with any or all other display instruments installed in a NMEA 2000® network.


What the Lowrance NMEA 2000® Networking Solution Offers
With the new low-cost, high-performance Lowrance NMEA 2000® networking system, owners of small to large boats can purchase a series of affordable and easy-to-install intelligent sensors (Electronic Probes - EPs) to monitor an array of vital Engine and boating functions.

For example, the use of an EP-60R Fuel Flow Sensor, in conjunction with an LGC-4000 GPS or EP-70R Speed Sensor, can provide comprehensive fuel management capability onboard. You'll know precisely how far and how much operational time you have left, fuel-wise, based on your current speed. That's an incredible benefit to any boater, particularly to coastal anglers and boaters!

Sample NMEA 2000® Marine Network

Thanks to NMEA 2000® networking and multiple choices in Lowrance display devices, boaters can conveniently access vital boat systems information anywhere they wish to view it - Console, flybridge tower, bow, wherever!!

The Network Backbone Cable is the data communications “pipeline” that runs the length of the boat, and capped at each end with a 120 Ohm Terminator. Available in a variety of lengths up to 25', the backbone is interspersed with T-Connectors for linking to (and data sharing between) all sensors and display devices. The NMEA 2000® network 12 Volt Power Source connects to the boat's 12-volt supply to power devices like the EP-10 Fuel Flow Sensor, LMF-400 Multi-Function Gauge, and LGC-2000 GPS Module. Compatible Sonar/GPS head units are powered separately with their own 12 Volt Power Source wiring. With such an innovative approach, expanding a boat's network to add sensors and/or displays is incredibly easy, convenient, and especially affordable with a Lowrance NMEA 2000® system.
