Section 1: Introduction
Thank you for buying the Lowrance® LMF-400! Your unit is a highquality, multi-function, digital gauge designed to work with a
LowranceNET™ network. This is the NMEA 2000
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 and other NMEA 2000
devices connected to the network.
®
networking system
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,
for the latest product information.
To get started with your Lowrance gauge, read Section 2: Installation.
After you have 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

Section 2: Installation
Preparation
The design of the LMF-400 allows convenient mounting in the dash of
your boat, or it can be mounted on any flat panel at least four inches in
diameter.
To mount the LMF-400 in the dash, first make sure there is sufficient
clearance behind the panel in the desired location. At least 3-1/2 inches are
needed behind the surface of the dash to clear all connectors and wiring.
Recommended Tools and supplies
Recommended tools for this job include: hole saw, 3/38" (86 mm) hole
saw bit, drill, 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit (for starter hole). Required supplies
for this job include: "U" bracket, lock washers and wing nuts (included).
Installation Sequence
You can install this gauge in some other order if you prefer, but we
recommend the installation sequence listed below.
1. Determine the location for the gauge so you can plan how and where
to route the cables. This will help you make sure you have enough cable
length for the desired configuration.
2. Determine the location of the nearest device on the boat's NMEA
2000 network, along with the route of the gauge's network cable.
3. Determine the location for the alarm buzzer and its wire route.
4. If you want the gauge's backlight to turn on when the dashboard
lights are turned on, locate your boat's dash light switch and determine
how to route the gauge's dash light wires to it.
5. Install the gauge in a standard 3-3/8 inch (86 mm) hole in the dash.
If no 3-3/8 hole available in the dash, you will have to drill a 1/8" pilot
hole, then use a hole saw to cut a mounting hole. See instructions for
Mounting the Unit below.
6. Connect the buzzer wires and install the buzzer. If desired, connect
the dash light wires to the boat's dash light switch.
7. Connect the network cable to the NMEA 2000 network.
Mounting the Gauge
If no standard mounting hole is available in the dash, drill a 1/8" pilot
hole, then cut a 3-3/8 inch (86 mm) diameter mounting hole with a hole
saw. A "U" bracket is supplied to hold the unit to the dash. Place it over
the threaded studs on the back of the unit and secure it with the lock
washers and nylon wing nuts provided with the unit.
3
Y
Secure unit to the dash using "U" bracket as shown.
The bracket is designed to secure the unit to a dash with a thickness of
2 mm. If your dash is thicker than 2 mm, the "U" bracket will be too
long. Simply place washers or spacers between the unit and the bracket
until you can tighten the wing nuts and secure the unit in place. You
are now ready to wire the unit to the buzzer (piezo) and dash lights.

Connecting the LMF-400 to the buzzer (piezo), will enable the buzzer to
sound when buttons are pressed and when alarms and level warnings
are triggered. Wiring the unit to the boat's dash lights, will turn on the
LMF-400 backlight when the dash lights are turned on.

If you do not want to use the buzzer or dash light wires, clip the bare
ends off the wires, then cap them with wire nuts or electrical tape.
To wire unit to the buzzer (piezo):
1. Connect the LMF-400 yellow wire to the buzzer (piezo) ground wire.
2. Attach the LMF-400 blue wire to the buzzer (piezo) positive wire.
3. Select a buzzer location that is protected from the elements, but will
still allow you to hear it. Use the adhesive back on the buzzer to mount
the buzzer to a flat, clean surface.
To wire unit to dash lights:
1. Connect the LMF-400 black wire to the dash light ground wire.
2. Now attach the LMF-400 white wire to the dash light positive wire.
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. It provides network connection nodes at
various locations around your boat.
Compatibility
You will easily be able to connect your unit to both red (DeviceNet) and
blue connector networks, regardless of whether your unit has a blue or
red connector network cable. Check the adapter cable segment in the
Setup and Installation of NMEA 2000 Networks, General Information"
that came packed with your unit. If you do not have that document, it
can be downloaded free from the Lowrance web site.
LowranceNET Node Kit for a NMEA 2000 network. Includes a 2 foot
extension cable, T connector, 120-ohm male terminator and 120-ohm
female terminator.
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.
5
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.

NOTE:
If you add an EP-10 Fuel Flow, EP-15 Fluid Level, EP-45 Water
Pressure or EP-50 Storage Device sensor to the network, you must
go through Boat Setup so the engine-tank configuration will be
consistent among the sensors in the LowranceNet. Follow the Boat
Setup procedure included in Section 3: Operation.
Additional NMEA information
For more detailed information about setting up a NMEA 2000 network,
refer to the "Setup and Installation of NMEA 2000 Networks, General
Information" that came with your unit. If you do not have that
document, it can be downloaded free from the Lowrance web site.
