3. Slide the pressure hose onto the EP-90R hose barb attachment. If it
does not fit snugly, secure it with a zip tie at the base of the hose barb
attachment.
4. Now you are ready to remove the speedometer. Refer to the
speedometer’s installation manual for removal instructions.
5. The EP-90R is ready to be connected to NMEA 2000 network. If the
NMEA 2000 network backbone is in another part of the boat, the EP-
90R can be linked to the display unit at the console — if one is present
— or either of the LMF digital gauges by using the T connector that
was included in the packaging. If the network backbone is near the
console, connect the EP-90R red male connector to a T connector in the
desired location on the network backbone. The EP-90R is ready for use.
The rest of this document contains detailed information on connecting
to a NMEA 2000 network.
Installing the EP-90R to measure other data:
Follow this installation to monitor the following data: Atmospheric
Pressure, Engine Boost Pressure, Engine Oil Pressure, Engine Water
Pressure, Fuel Pressure and Transmission Oil Pressure.
NOTE:
Make sure the pressure hose has enough slack to be attached to the
pressure sensor when the EP-90R is connected to the NMEA 2000
backbone.
1. Slide the (Atmospheric, Engine Boost, Engine Oil, Engine Water,
Fuel or Transmission Oil) pressure hose onto the EP-90R hose barb
attachment. Attach a zip tie or hose clamp at the base of the hose barb
attachment.
2. The EP-90R is ready to be connected to NMEA 2000 network. If the
NMEA 2000 network backbone is in another part of the boat, the EP-
90R can be linked to the display unit at the console — if one is present
— or either of the LMF digital gauges by using the T connector that
was included in the packaging. If the network backbone is near the
console, connect the EP-90R red female connector to a T connector in
the desired location on the network backbone.
Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network
A NMEA 2000 network is a communications link between two or more
devices that transfer NMEA 2000 information. 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.
