EP-60R Fuel Flow
Electronic Sensor
Installation, Configuration and Calibration Instructions
This document shows how to install an EP-60R Fuel Flow sensor and
how to connect it to a NMEA 2000®network. It also provides
instructions on how to configure and calibrate your fuel flow sensor
with Lowrance digital gauges (LMF-200 & LMF-400) and display units.
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. You should decide where 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®network
system, visit our web site, www.lowrance.com.
The EP-60R consists of a red 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 (3
meters). The sensor is designed to work with gasoline only.
WARNING:
Do not use this sensor with diesel engine fuel systems.
The EP-60R is designed only for gasoline engines.
This sensor has been optimized to measure flow rates between 0.6 to 45
gallons (US) per hour, but it will operate at flow rates outside that
range. The sensor will add 0.5 PSI of back pressure on the fuel system
with a flow rate of 20 gallons per hour. At the rate of 40 gallons per
hour, the back pressure will be 1 PSI.
The EP-60R Fuel Flow, like the other LowranceNet Electronic Probe
(EP) sensors, is designed for use with a NMEA 2000 network. Your
sensor, however, is also compatible with LowranceNet blue connector
networks. It can be added to a blue connector network by using a
female red to female blue adapter cable. Your sensor MUST be
connected to a NMEA 2000 network or it WILL NOT function.
The NMEA 2000 female red to female Blue adapter cable allows users
to add red connector devices to a blue connector network.
Tools and Supplies
Your EP sensor packs with a T connector needed to attach it to a
LowranceNET NMEA 2000 network. If this is the first sensor you are
connecting, you may also need to purchase of a LowranceNET Node
Kit.

3
LowranceNET Node Kit for a NMEA 2000 network. Includes a 2-foot
extension cable, T connector and two 120-ohm terminators.
For complete instructions on setting up a new NMEA 2000 network or
expanding an existing one, see the other document packed with your
EP-60R Fuel Flow, "Setup and Installation of NMEA 2000 Networks,
General Information" part number 988-0154-173. If that document is
unavailable, it can be downloaded free from the Lowrance web site.
Other supplies are not included, unless otherwise indicated. Required
supplies include cable ties or other fasteners to secure the hose and
cable; an inline fuel filter and any items needed to install it. Two 1"
hose clamps are included with the sensor.
We assume you already have a fuel line installed. The EP-60R Fuel
Flow was designed to fit a typical 3/8" SAE USCG Type A1 fuel hose. If
your engine has different diameter hoses or metal fuel lines, a section
of 3/8" fuel line must be installed between the sensor and the existing
lines. Recommended tools are a flathead screwdriver to tighten the
clamps and a knife to cut the fuel hose. If you need to route the sensor
connector through a bulkhead, you will need a drill and a 3/4" drill bit.
Installation
Install one EP-60R sensor per engine. If you have multiple tanks, place
the sensor after any Y or T in the line feeding the engine.
The sensor should be installed vertically, as close as possible to the fuel
tank in an area where vibration is minimized. The housing has a
molded-in, fuel flow direction arrow, which should be pointing up.
Mount the sensor above the tank's maximum fuel level to avoid
accidental fuel leakage in case the sensor becomes disconnected.
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.

4
Cut the fuel hose where you intend to install the EP-60R sensor. Slide
a clamp over the hose coming from the tank, then push the hose onto
the bottom (inlet) hose barb.
Seat the hose flush against the sensor housing, then tighten the hose
clamp. Attach the hose leading to the engine on the top (outlet) barb in
the same way.
Push the fuel line onto the hose barb, then tighten the hose clamp.
Orient the sensor vertically, with the flow arrow pointing up.
NOTE:
You must install an in-line fuel filter between the tank and the EP-
60R 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.
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-60R fuel sensor or fuel filter and restore
engine operation if the fuel filter fails. We 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. The sensor is ready to use.

Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network
A NMEA 2000 network is a communications link between two or more
devices that transfer NMEA 2000 information. LowranceNET is the
NMEA 2000 networking system developed by Lowrance Electronics. A
NMEA 2000 network functions like the phone wiring in a house.
If, for example, you pick up a phone in the living room you will be able
to hear the conversation someone is having on a phone in the bedroom.
In similar fashion, a NMEA 2000 network allows multiple display units
to receive data from a GPS antenna or multiple sonar units to receive
messages sent by a temperature sensor. A NMEA 2000 network gives
you the flexibility to view information like engine diagnostics and fuel
level data on digital gauges or display units located anywhere on your
boat.
There are two types of LowranceNet red connectors: the single T
connector (left) and the double T connector (right).
Network Backbone and Network Nodes
A network bus backbone consists of network cabling, terminators and T
connectors. Network nodes are made by fitting T-shaped connectors into
the backbone (using the sockets on the sides) and attaching any network
device to the bottom of the T.
Staying with the previous phone wiring example, T connectors on the
backbone are the equivalent of phone jacks spread throughout a house.
To pick up a phone and be able to hear a conversation from another
phone in the house, both phones have to be connected to the main phone
line. In similar fashion, only sensors and display units plugged into the
NMEA network can share information. The network backbone is like the
phone wiring that runs throughout a home.
It connects the network nodes, allowing them to communicate across the
network. Connections found in the middle of the bus could have T
connectors or backbone network cable plugged into one or both sides.
Connections at the end of a network will have the backbone cable plugged
into one side and a terminator plugged into the other, as shown in the
following figure.

NOTE:
If you have a double T Connector on your network that is not
attached to a device, you must cap the unused connector with a
NMEA 2000 cap. This will protect the pin connectors from
corrosion. The NMEA 2000 cap looks like a terminator, but has
"Cap" stamped into the connector housing.
All T connectors on your network probably will be connected to a device.
If you want to add another node to a working network, add another T
connector. T connectors may be purchased from LEI (ordering
information appears on the back page of this booklet). If you are adding a
Lowrance or LEI NMEA 2000 sensor, it will come with a T connector.
Adding a Network Node
You can add a node to any existing connection, anywhere along the
network backbone. This connection could be between a T connector and a
terminator, between two T connectors, between a T connector and a
backbone extension cable or between two extension cables. Wherever you
want to add the new node, separate the sockets of the existing connection
and install the T connector between them. If you want to add a node at
the end of the backbone (network bus) remove the terminator from the
last connector, like the figure above. Install the new T connector and
attach the terminator to the side of the connector.

In this example, a new device is added to the NMEA 2000 bus by
installing a T connector between a T connector and a terminator at the
end of the backbone (network bus).
