Section 1: Introduction
Thank you for buying the Lowrance
LMF-400! Your unit is a high-
quality, 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-400 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-400.
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
network.
