Section 4: EP Configuration &
Calibration
To configure items linked into the LowranceNET networking system,
press
MENU and select SYSTEM SETUP. Highlight BUS DEVICES and press
ENTER, which will bring up the message, Searching Bus Devices. Once
all devices are detected, a list of the devices (Bus Devices list) will be
displayed.
The Bus Devices command acts as the device manager for the bus,
allowing you to configure and unconfigure devices and set and reset
critical values such as alarms and calibration.
Bus Devices highlighted in the System Setup menu (left). Searching
Bus Devices window (center) with Bus Devices list (right).
NOTE:
Devices will vary in name and number depending on what has been
connected to the LowranceNET. 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-400 to a different sensor location on the
boat.
The following items can be configured, unconfigured or reconfigured:
Temperature Sensors (UnCfg Temp), Fuel Flow Sensors (UnCfg F
Flow) and Fluid Level (UnCfg F Level). When UnCfg Temp, UnCfg F
Flow and the UnCfg Fluid Level appear on the bus devices list it shows
they 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-400 supports a maximum of three engines.
The GPS Module and Paddle Wheel Speed do not need to be configured.
Engines and tanks are configured through the System Setup menu.
Trim Tabs are configured through the Pages menu, which will be
addressed later in this section.
