All Lowrance NMEA 2000 capable devices are NMEA 2000 certified or
certification is pending. See our web site for the latest product status
information.
The EP-10 consists of a blue female locking cable connector and the
sensor module. The sensor module contains a turbine to measure fuel
flow and electronics which convert flow data to the NMEA 2000 data
format. The cable length from the connector to the smart module is 10
feet. The EP-10 sensor is designed to work with
gasoline
engines only.
This sensor has been optimized to measure flow rates between 0.6 to 45
gallons (U.S.) per hour, but it will operate at flow rates outside that
range. The sensor will add 0.5 PSI of back pressure on the fuel system
with a flow rate of 20 gallons per hour. At the rate of 40 gallons per
hour the back pressure will be 1 PSI.
The EP-10, like other Lowrance Electronic Probe (EP) sensors, is
designed only for use with a NMEA 2000 Network. It
must
be
connected to a NMEA 2000 network or it
will not
function.
Tools and Supplies
Your EP-10 sensor comes with a T connector. The T connector is needed
to attach the sensor to a LowranceNET NMEA 2000 network. If you are
connecting to an existing LowranceNET network, those are all the
electronic components you need. If this is the first sensor you are
connecting, you also will 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.
