The NMEA 2000 Power cable's red wire should be attached (with pro-

vided 3-amp fuse) to the positive (+) terminal. The NMEA 2000 Power

cable's black and shield wires should both be attached to the negative

(–) terminal.
WARNING:

The NMEA 2000 network bus is always on and constantly
drawing power. You must connect NMEA power to a
switched power source so you can turn off the network
when not in use. Failure to connect to and use a power
switch will drain your boat battery, which could stop
your boat's operation.

Connecting to a NMEA Network

Lowrance and LEI provide all the cables you will need to create a

NMEA 2000 network. Lowrance provides T connectors and extension

cables so you can add devices along the backbone wherever you want.

Once you have a working network, every sensor added will come with

its own T connector for easy expansion.
