User manual LOWRANCE EP-10 FUEL FLOW

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] Caution: Gasoline is extremely flammable. If possible, drain the fuel line before you start or shut any flow valves located at the tank. Keep sparks and flame away from the work area. After installation remember to clean up any spilled fuel. Cut the fuel hose where you intend to install the EP-10 sensor. Slide a clamp over the hose coming from the tank and push the hose onto the bottom (inlet) hose barb. Seat the hose flush against the sensor housing and tighten the hose clamp. Attach the hose leading to the engine on the top (outlet) barb in the same way. 3 To engine Flow direction From tank Push the fuel line onto the hose barb, then tighten the hose clamp. Orient the sensor vertically with the flow arrow pointing up. WARNING: You must install an in-line fuel filter or fuel water separator between the tank and the EP-10 sensor. This will prevent a malfunction caused by contaminated fuel. Debris in unfiltered fuel can clog the sensor's turbine and result in rough performance or engine shut down. Caution: As with any fuel system, we recommend you always carry onboard a spare fuel filter and an in-line 3/8" splice barb. This allows you to remove a clogged EP-10 fuel sensor or fuel filter and restore engine operation if the fuel filter fails. It is strongly recommend that you inspect your entire fuel system at regular intervals. Secure the sensor/hose assembly so the sensor remains in a vertical position with the flow direction up. Clamp the hose on either side of the sensor to the hull or bulkhead to minimize vibration. Route the sensor's cable connector to the T on the network backbone where you intend to attach it, and plug it in. 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 4 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.
