Installation, Configuration and Calibration Instructions
This document shows how to install an EP-65R Fluid Level sensor and
how to connect it to a NMEA 2000
instructions on how to configure and calibrate your fluid level 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 the LowranceNet™, a line of products that
can communicate over a NMEA 2000 network.
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. 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
system, visit our web site, www.lowrance.com.

The EP-65R Fluid Level sensor.
1
The EP-65R consists of a smart module with a red cable connector on
one end and two bare wires on the other. The cable length from the
connector to the smart module is 18 inches (46 cm). The cable length
from the smart module to the bare wires is 10 feet (3 meters).
The smart module converts fluid level information received from the
sending unit (fluid level float) to the NMEA 2000 data format. This
allows any digital gauge, sonar or GPS unit connected to the NMEA
2000 network to display fluid level information.
The EP-65R fluid level sensor is designed to monitor fuel, live well, oil,
fresh water, waste water (gray water), and black water tanks.
The EP-65R Fluid Level, 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 red
female to blue female adapter cable. Your sensor MUST be connected
to a NMEA 2000 network or it WILL NOT function.
The NMEA 2000 red female to blue female 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 you are connecting to an
existing LowranceNET network, those are all the electronic
components you need. If this is the first sensor you are connecting, you
will need to purchase a LowranceNET Node Kit.
For complete instructions on setting up a new NMEA 2000 network or
expanding an existing one, refer to the "Setup and Installation of NMEA 2000 Networks, General Information" document (part number
988-0154-173) included with your EP-65R sensor. If that document is
missing it can be downloaded free from the Lowrance web site.
2
LowranceNET Node Kit for a NMEA 2000 network. Includes a 2-foot
extension cable, T connector and two 120-ohm terminators.
Sending unit mounting plate configurations vary. When connecting the
EP-65R, you will need whatever tools and supplies that will work with
your sending unit's specific design. Recommended tools include: wire
pliers. You will need a drill and a 7/8" (22 mm) drill bit. If you need to
route the smart module or cable connector through a bulkhead, you will
need a drill and a 7/8" (22 mm) drill bit.
Supplies are not included, unless otherwise indicated. The EP-65R's two
lead wires are pre-stripped. We recommend using marine-grade crimp-on
connectors that will fit your sending unit's electrical connections.
Tip:
The EP-65R is designed to be the only device receiving signals from
the sending unit. If the EP-65R is replacing a previous gauge, make
sure you remove all the old gauge wires before you begin. If this is a
replacement, note which connection is positive before disconnecting
the old wires.
Installation
This instruction sheet assumes the mounting bracket is connected to
the fluid level float (or potentiometer) and is already installed in the
tank. The EP-65R wires — red (positive) and black (negative) — will
connect to the sending unit's mounting bracket on top of the tank.
Caution:
Do NOT connect the sensor's red cable connector to the network
until you have finished connecting the red and black leads to the
sending unit. This reduces the risk of a spark when working
around fuel tanks.
First, attach marine-grade crimp-on connectors to both the red lead (+)
and the black (–) lead. The EP-65R must be the ONLY device
connected to the sender.
3
Attach appropriate connectors to wire leads.
Attach the positive red lead to the sending unit's positive connector,
usually located in the center of the mounting plate. Connect the
negative black lead to the sending unit's negative connector. To ensure
you know which connection is which, refer to the mounting instructions
that came with the sending unit.
Negative
connector
Connect wire leads to fluid level sending unit. This is a typical sending
unit mounting bracket. The center threaded post is + and the blade is – .
Positive
connector
Finally, route the sensor's red 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,
4
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 fluid level 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 it 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.
6
Use T-connector or double T connector to add
device to bus (maintaining linear architecture)

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

EP-65R Fluid Level Calibration
The factory calibration settings for the EP-65R Fluid Level should be
adequate for the majority of applications, so calibration will not be
necessary in most cases. The default calibration for the EP-65R Fluid
Level is just as accurate as standard fluid level gauges. If, however, the
tank has an irregular shape or greater accuracy is needed, calibration
is recommended. The EP-65R Fluid Level has three calibration options:
2 point, 3 point and 5 point.
2-Point Calibration
A 2-point calibration is best suited for rectangular or square-shaped
tanks, where the capacity of the top half of the tank matches the
capacity in the lower half of the tank. In a two-point calibration, you
will set two points, one each for empty and full levels. You can begin
calibration at either of the two points, but we recommend starting with
an empty tank. You will fill the tank to complete calibration.
NOTE:
Adequate calibration may be achieved without calibrating both
points and you can calibrate the points (Empty Level and Full
Level) in any order you wish. In the following instructions, we
begin calibration with an empty tank.
To execute 2-Point calibration:
1. Press MENU, select SYSTEM SETUP and press MENU.
2. Highlight

3-Point Calibration:
3-point calibration is designed for tanks that vary in shape from the top
to the bottom. You can begin calibration at any point in the 3-point
15
process, but we recommend starting calibration with an empty tank. In
a 3-point calibration, you will set three points, one each for empty, half
and full levels.
NOTE:
Adequate calibration my be achieved without calibrating all three
points and you can calibrate the points (Empty Level, Half Level
and Full Level) in any order you wish. In the following instructions,
we begin calibration with an empty tank.
To execute 3-Point calibration:
1. Press MENU, select SYSTEM SETUP and press MENU.
2. Highlight

5-point Calibration
5-point calibration is best suited tanks that vary greatly in shape from
top to bottom. You can begin calibration at any point in the 5-point
calibration process.
We recommend starting calibration with an empty tank. In a five-point
calibration you will set five points: Empty Level, 1 Qtr Level, Half
Level, 3 Qtr Level and Full Level.
16
NOTE:
Adequate calibration may be achieved without calibrating all five
points and you can calibrate the points (Empty Level, 1 Quarter
Level, Half Level, 3 Quarter Level and Full Level) in any order you
wish. We begin calibration with an empty tank.

recalibrate the fluid level, revisit the segment covering fluid level
calibration.
NOTE
:
If you have calibrated your fluid level sensor and are having
problems with the sensor's performance, be sure to check the
sending unit. You can do this by using an ohm meter to test the
resistance of the unit. Disconnect the EP-65R from the sending
unit. Connect the sending unit hot wire (usually pink) and the ship
or sending unit ground wire (usually black) to the ohm meter. With
the tank full, the resistance should be around 33-1/2 ohms. When
the tank is the empty, the resistance should be around 240 ohms.
If, when the tank is full or empty, the ohm readings are
significantly different from the standard full (33-1/2) and empty
(240)
ohms levels, there is a problem with the sending unit. If the
ohm readings are the same in both cases, the sending unit is stuck.
Displaying Fluid Level Data
You can display your fluid level data on the Gauge page. When a page
is added to the display, it automatically is included in the page screen

EP-65R Fluid Level Calibration
The factory calibration settings for the EP-65R Fluid Level should be
adequate for the majority of applications, so calibration will not be
necessary in most cases. The default calibration for the EP-65R Fluid
Level is just as accurate as standard fluid level gauges. If, however, the
tank has an irregular shape or greater accuracy is needed, calibration
is recommended. The EP-65R Fluid Level has three calibration options:
2 point, 3 point and 5 point.
2-Point Calibration
A 2-point calibration is best suited for rectangular or square-shaped
tanks, where the capacity of the top half of the tank matches the
capacity in the lower half of the tank. In a two-point calibration, you
will set two points, one each for empty and full levels. You can begin
calibration at either of the two points, but we recommend starting with
an empty tank. You will fill the tank to complete calibration.
29
NOTE:
Adequate calibration may be achieved without calibrating both
points and you can calibrate the points (Empty Level and Full
Level) in any order you wish. In the following instructions, we
begin calibration with an empty tank.

7. Select
FULL LEVEL and press ENTER. The following message will
appear: Set Tank to Full Level Press Enter.
8. Press
ENTER. Press EXIT repeatedly to return to the main display.
3-Point Calibration
3-point calibration is designed for tanks that vary in shape from the top
to the bottom. You can begin calibration at any point in the 3-point
process, but we recommend starting calibration with an empty tank. In
a 3-point calibration, you will set three points, one each for empty, half
and full levels.
NOTE:
Adequate calibration may be achieved without calibrating all three
points, and you can calibrate the points (Empty Level, Half Level
and Full Level) in any order you wish. We begin calibration with an
empty tank.

5-Point Calibration
5-point calibration is best suited for tanks that vary greatly in shape
from top to bottom. You can begin calibration at any point in the 5point calibration process. We recommend starting calibration with an
empty tank. In a five-point calibration there are five calibration points:
Empty Level, 1 Qtr Level, Half Level, 3 Qtr Level and Full Level.
NOTE
:
Adequate calibration may be achieved without calibrating all five
points and you can calibrate the points (Empty Level, 1 Quarter
Level, Half Level, 3 Quarter Level and Full Level) in any order you
wish. In the following instructions, we begin calibration with an
empty tank.

32
NOTE:
If you have calibrated your fluid level sensor and are having
problems with its performance, be sure to check the sending unit.
You can do this by using an ohm meter to test the resistance of the
unit. Connect the sending unit hot wire (usually pink) and the ship
or sending unit ground wire (usually black) to the ohm meter. With
the tank full, the resistance should be around 33-1/2 ohms. When
the tank is the empty, the resistance should be around 240 ohms.
If, when the tank is full or empty, the ohm readings are
significantly different from the standard full (33-1/2) and empty
(240)
ohms levels, there is a problem with the sending unit. If the
ohm readings are the same in both cases, the sending unit is stuck.

EP-65R Fluid Level Calibration
The factory calibration settings for the EP-65R Fluid Level should be
adequate for most applications, so calibration will not be necessary in
most cases. If, however, the tank has an irregular shape or greater
accuracy is needed, calibration is recommended. There are three
calibration options: 2-Point, 3-Point and 5-Point.
43
2-Point Calibration
A 2-point calibration is best suited for rectangular or square-shaped
tanks, where the capacity of the top half of the tank matches the
capacity in the lower half of the tank. In a two-point calibration, you
will set two points, one each for empty and full levels. You can begin
calibration at either of the two points, but we recommend starting with
an empty tank. You will fill the tank to complete calibration.
NOTE:
Adequate calibration may be achieved without calibrating both
points and you can calibrate the points (Empty Level and Full
Level) in any order you wish. In the following instructions, we
begin calibration with an empty tank.
To execute a 2-Point Calibration:
1. Press MENU twice, select NMEA2000or NETWORKING and press ENTER.
2. Highlight
BUS SETUP and press ENTER to open the Bus Configuration
menu. A list of network devices will be at the top of the page.

display.
3-Point Calibration
3-point calibration is designed for tanks that vary in shape from the top
to the bottom. You can begin calibration at any point in the 3-point
process, but we recommend starting calibration with an empty tank. In
a 3-point calibration, you will set three points, one each for empty, half
and full levels.
44
NOTE:
Adequate calibration may be achieved without calibrating all three
points and you can calibrate the points (Empty Level, Half Level
and Full Level) in any order you wish. In the following instructions,
we begin calibration with an empty tank.
To execute a 3-Point Calibration:
1. Press MENU twice, select NMEA2000 or NETWORKING and press ENTER.

5-Point Calibration
5-point calibration is best suited tanks that vary greatly in shape from
top to bottom. You can begin calibration at any point in the 5-point
calibration process. We recommend starting calibration with an empty
tank. In a five-point calibration you will set five points: Empty Level, 1
Qtr Level, Half Level, 3 Qtr Level and Full Level.
Num Pts menu with 5-point calibration selected (left). Half level selected on
Fluid Level menu
(center).Calibration completed window (right).
In a 5-point calibration, you will have four calibration points left after
calibrating your tank's Empty Level. To figure out how much fuel you
should add for the remaining steps of the calibration process, divide the
total capacity of you tank by four. So, if you have a 40-gallon tank, each
quarter tank will equate to 10 gallons.
NOTE
:
Adequate calibration may be achieved without calibrating all five
points and you can calibrate the points (Empty Level, 1 Quarter
Level, Half Level, 3 Quarter Level and Full Level) in any order you
wish. In the following instructions, we begin calibration with an
empty tank.
