User manual LOWRANCE EP-35 THRU-HULL TEMP

[. . . ] The sensor module contains a thermometer and electronic components that convert temp data to the NMEA 2000 data format. Caution: The maximum hull thickness for the EP-35 TH is 1-1/4" (31 mm). The EP-35 TH Temp sensor is designed to operate in a temperature range of 4° to 176° F (-20° to 80° C). This sensor is designed to measure surface water temperature. [. . . ] Remove excess sealant from the outside of the transom before it dries. 3 Slide the nut over the blue locking collar (left). Place the nut on the sensor module, add sealant on the inside of the hull and tighten the nut (right). 7. On the inside of the hull, slide the nut over the back end of the sensor module and add a 1/8" bead of sealant around the edge of the hole on the inside of the transom. Hand-tighten the nut, being careful not to over-tighten. Remove excess sealant from the inside of the hull before it dries. Route the EP-35 TH cable to the T on the network backbone where you intend to attach it, and plug it in. NOTE: Allow the sealant/adhesive compound to dry for 12 hours before putting your boat in the water. After the boat is launched, check for leaks immediately. Check the boat for leaks again several times during the next 24 hours. If you notice any leakage at all, the EP-35 TH should be reinstalled with a new coat of adhesive. sealant sealant outer hull nut Inner hull Cross section of transom showing EP-35 TH installed. 4 Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network A network bus is an installed and operational network cable (backbone) running the length of your boat, already connected to a power supply and properly terminated. Such a bus provides network connection nodes at various locations around your boat. This is similar to the telephone wiring in a house. If you pick up a phone in your living room, you can hear someone talking into the phone in the bedroom. Network Nodes A network bus is built of network nodes spread along a backbone. Network nodes are made by fitting T-shaped connectors into the backbone (using the sockets on the sides), and attaching a display unit or sensor at the bottom of the T. Using our telephone example, the T connectors are similar to telephone jacks. The backbone is like the phone wiring running through a house. Phones in a house must be connected to each other to communicate, and in the same way only sensors and display units plugged into the NMEA network can share information. Connections found in the middle of the bus will have one or more of these T-shaped connectors with the backbone cables plugged into both sides. Connections at the end of a network will have the backbone plugged into one side, and a terminator plugged into the other, as shown in the following figure. Cable from sensor or display unit T connector LEI or Lowrance device needs an open T. Terminator at the very end of the bus Backbone cable (to rest of bus) NMEA 2000 network node located at the end of a NMEA 2000 bus. Adding a Network Node You can add a node anywhere along the network backbone where a connection already exists.
