Installation Instructions 

This document shows how to install the EP-DDS Skimmer Transducer 

and how to connect it to a NMEA 2000  network.  
NMEA 2000 is the communication bus standard developed by the 

National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) for use in boats. 

Lowrance has introduced a line of products that can communicate over 

a NMEA 2000 network (LowranceNet). 
All Lowrance NMEA 2000 capable devices are either NMEA 2000 

certified or certification is pending.  

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. Decide where you want to install 
all components before drilling any holes in your vessel. 

Some sonar or GPS display units may require a software upgrade to 

display NMEA 2000 data correctly. For free software upgrades or 

additional information on the LowranceNet NMEA 2000
