Notes iv
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® networking system 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.
LowranceNET teams up the powerful NMEA 2000 network standard with a fast-growing, cutting-edge family of Lowrance Electronic Probe Sensors. The product line includes the EP-10 Fuel Flow, EP-15 Fluid Level, Suzuki Engine interface, EP-25 Speed, EP-35 Temp, EP-45 Pressure sensors and EP-50 Storage device. And what's more exciting, there are others on the way. Be sure to log on to our website, www.lowrance.
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.
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.
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.
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. Lowrance or LEI device connects to new T connector.
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.
Understanding this manual Most instructions in the manual are listed as numbered steps. Keypad commands appear as boldface type, making it easy to skim through instructions and pick out what command to use. Up and Down The Up and Down keys help you navigate through menus, select (highlight) menu items, and are used to make adjustments to numbers in dialog boxes. They are shown as UP and DOWN in this manual. Menu When instructed to press the menu key, menu will be shown as MENU.
Section 3: Operation The displays and settings in this digital gauge are controlled by a fivebutton keypad. The buttons are UP, DOWN, MENU, ENTER and EXIT. The MENU key gives you access to the basic menu. The UP and DOWN keys are used to scroll through and highlight menu items. The PAGES/ENTER key (also referred to as the ENTER key) allows you to scroll forward through pages, execute commands and select items from menus. The EXIT key is used to close menus and scroll backward through pages. LMF-400 keypad.

standard fluid level gauges. If, however, the tank has an irregular shape or greater accuracy is needed, calibration is recommended. The default calibration for the EP-10 Fuel Flow and Suzuki Engine Interface are adequate in most cases, but if Fuel Used readings are off by more than 3 percent, calibration is recommended. Calibrating EP-10 Fuel Flow The default calibration for an EP-10 Fuel Flow is adequate in most cases, but if fuel used readings are off by more than 3 percent, calibration is recommended.
NOTE: When following the steps below, run only ONE engine — the engine connected to the fuel flow. That is the only way to accurately calculate how much fuel passed through the fuel flow. Also, make sure the fuel remaining source has been set to Eng/FFlow. 1. Fill up the tank you want to calibrate. 2. Press MENU, use the UP and DOWN keys to select SYSTEM SETUP and press ENTER. 3. Highlight FUEL SETUP and press ENTER. 3. Select REFILL TANK and press ENTER.

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.
Level and Full Level) in any order you wish. Remember: Points that are not calibrated will not be as accurate as points that have been calibrated.

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.
NOTE: You must use the gauge's Refill Tank command when filling your fuel tank to keep the engine interface updated with correct information on the amount of fuel in the tank. Refill Tank You must use the Refill Tank command every time you fill up and every time you calibrate an engine interface to make sure the engine interface reads the tank as full. For more information on the Refill Tank function see page 26.
7. Press MENU, use the UP and DOWN keys to select SYSTEM SETUP and press ENTER. 8. Highlight FUEL SETUP and press ENTER. 9. Select REFILL TANK and press ENTER.
