Addendum I

LMS-480M, LMS-480DF &

GlobalMap^®4800M

This addendum addresses new items packed with your unit, changes to

installation procedures, and NMEA 2000^®upgrades not documented in

the LMS 480M, LMS-480cDF and GlobalMap 4800M manuals.

Your unit now packs with a 2-foot (61 cm) blue-to-red adapter cable, 15-

foot (4.6 m) extension cable, LGC-3000 GPS module, double T connector

and two 120-ohm terminators.

The segment covering changes in installation procedures provides new

backcase diagrams and information on how to add your unit to a new

NMEA 2000 standard DeviceNet network.

The upgrades covered in this document include information on the new

LGC-3000 and instructions on how to configure and calibrate NMEA

2000 devices through the NMEA 2000 menu.

NOTICE!

The storage and operation temperature range for your unit is from -20

degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-28 degrees to +75 degrees Cel-

sius). Extended storage or operation in temperatures higher or lower

than specified will damage the liquid crystal display in your unit. This

type of damage is not covered by the warranty.

Pack Assembly

Your unit is packed with a 2-foot blue-to-red adapter cable, making it

compatible with NMEA 2000 standard DeviceNet networks. Networks

consisting of LowranceNet™ red connectors and Micro-C™ connectors

are examples of a DeviceNet network. Your unit is also compatible with

LowranceNet blue connector networks.

To add your unit to a NMEA 2000 DeviceNet network, the blue end of

the blue-to-red adapter cable must be connected to the unit's network

socket; otherwise you will not be able to use the red connector cables and

devices that came with your unit. Red connector components packed with

the unit include: 15-foot extension cable, LGC-3000 GPS module, double

T connector and two 120-ohm terminators. Instructions and diagrams

covering the use of items packed with your unit are contained in the Power

Connections segment below.

Powering Your Display Unit

The display unit works from a 12-volt DC battery system. Attach the

display power cable (with provided 3-amp fuse) to an accessory switch

or power bus. If this results in electrical interference, connect direct to

a battery but install an in-line switch on the cable.

Caution:

We strongly recommend that you shut off the power supply to the

power cable when the unit is not in use, especially in saltwater en-

vironments. When the unit is turned off but still connected to a

power supply, electrolysis can occur in the power cable plug. This

may result in corrosion of the plug body along with the electrical

contacts in the cable and the unit's power socket. Risk of electroly-

sis corrosion is even greater when the cable is unplugged from the

unit, but still connected to a power source. We recommend you

connect the power cable to the auxiliary power switch included

in most boat designs. If that results in electrical interference, or

if such a switch is not available, we recommend connecting di-

rect to the battery and installing an in-line switch. This will let

you shut off power to the power cable when the unit is not in use.

When you are not using the unit, you should always shut off

power to the power cable, especially when the power cable is dis-

connected from the unit.

WARNING:

This product must be independently fused with the en-

closed 3-amp fuse (or equivalent), even if you connect to

a fused accessory or power bus.

If a malfunction happens inside the unit, extensive dam-

age can occur if the enclosed fuse is not used. As with all

electrical devices, this unit could be damaged to a point

that it is unrepairable and could even cause harm to the

user when not properly fused.

Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty.

If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially

the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from electrical

noise. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it.

The display power cable has three wires, white, red and black. Red is the

positive (+) lead, black is negative (–) or ground. The white wire is un-

used by your unit and should be capped. Make sure to attach the in-line

fuse holder to the red lead as close to the power source as possible.

For example, if you have to extend the power cable to the power bus or

battery, attach one end of the fuse holder directly to the power bus or

battery. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event

of a short.

This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the

power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the

wires are attached correctly.

Use this method if you are powering the display unit and a GPS mod-

ule or the display unit and a NMEA 2000 network. (Fuses may be dif-

ferent from those shown.)

The network and any NMEA 2000 devices, including the GPS

module, will not operate unless the NMEA 2000 Power Cable is

connected to power. The NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected

to power even if your only NMEA 2000 device is the GPS module and it

is connected to the display unit's Network socket. (However, never

connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network.

The method in diagram B is also used when your display unit is con-

nected to a NMEA 2000 network that is already connected to power.

(Never connect multiple power sources to a NMEA 2000 network.)

Powering a NMEA 2000 Network Bus

A NMEA 2000 bus must be connected to a power source to operate.

NMEA 2000 devices, including GPS modules, draw their power from

the network bus. If you have a pre-existing NMEA 2000 network instal-

lation, it may already be connected to another power source. If you are

not sure about a network's power status, consult the boat manufacturer

or dealer. If your NMEA 2000 bus is already powered, you can ignore the

NMEA 2000 Power cable and use the method shown in Power Diagram

B. Never attach two power sources to a single NMEA 2000 bus.

Data Cable

NMEA 2000 Power Cable

Use this method if you are only powering your display unit and are not

powering a NMEA 2000 network or any NMEA 2000 accessory device,

including a GPS module. (Fuse may be different from that shown.)

If you do need to power your NMEA 2000 bus, attach the NMEA 2000

Power cable to an accessory switch as indicated in power diagram A on

page 4. The NMEA 2000 Power cable's red wire should be attached

(with provided 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.

GPS Antenna/Receiver Module

Your unit packs with the LGC-3000 GPS module. This device contains

the unit's external antenna and receiver for GPS and WAAS signals.

The antenna/receiver module comes with a 15-foot (4.6 m) extension

cable. This module can be mounted on a flat surface or pole, or an op-

tional magnet is available for temporary mounting on any ferrous sur-

face.

You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, un-

obstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, connect it to the

unit. The LGC-3000 can communicate with your GPS unit either directly

(using the supplied extension cable) or through a NMEA 2000 network.

LGC-3000 Module, bottom view (left) and top view (right).

NOTE

See the module’s instruction sheet, publication part number 988-

0154-651, for complete installation instructions.

To use the module in an automobile, you may achieve good results by

simply placing the external antenna on the top of the dash, at the base of

the windshield. A piece of the rubber non-skid shelf liner material avail-

able in recreational vehicle supply stores will help hold the antenna in

place. This may not work well if you have a cab-over design pickup truck

camper or motor home. If dashboard reception is poor, simply relocate

the antenna module elsewhere on the vehicle for a clearer view of the

sky.

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. Such a bus provides network connection nodes at

various locations around your boat. The NMEA 2000 network is similar to

the telephone wiring in a house. If you pick up a phone in your living room,

you can hear someone talking into the phone in the bedroom.

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.

The simplest NMEA 2000 network is a GPS or sonar/GPS display unit

with the LGC-3000, one double-T connector, two 120 ohm terminators

and any extension cables needed to connect them.

It is easy to expand this network by removing a terminator from one end

of the double T connector, then inserting a new T connector or extension

cable between the double T connector and terminator (See the NMEA

200 network general information document that came with your unit for

more information). For more information on connecting your unit to an

existing NMEA 2000 network, see the NMEA 2000 Networks General In-

formation document that was packed with your unit, publication part

number 988-0154-173.

NMEA 0183 Wiring

(Data cable)

To exchange NMEA 0183 data, this unit has one NMEA 0183 version

2.0 communication port. Com port one (Com-1) can be used to receive

NMEA format GPS data. The com port can also transmit NMEA format

GPS data to another device.

Advanced Options menu

The Fuel Flow sensor Advanced Options menu contains two categories:

Instance and Restore Defaults.

Instance

The Instance command is intended for use only by experienced NMEA

2000 network technicians. Instance allows network technicians to re-

solve certain electronic probe conflicts. This is most likely to occur if the

network includes LMF-200 or LMF-400 digital gauges, which support

the display of fewer electronic probes than your GPS or sonar/GPS unit.

If you want to use your unit in a network including one of these digital

gauges, you may need to consult customer service. You should never

need this command if you are connecting your unit to a network with

similar display units and/or a series of electronic probes.

Restore Defaults

The Restore Defaults command allows you to reset an individual EP-10

Fuel Flow Sensor's settings to factory defaults. If, for example, you exe-

cute the Restore Defaults command from your Port Fuel Flow Ad-

vanced Options menu, only the settings for the Port Fuel Flow will be

reset to factory defaults. Other fuel flows on the network will not be

affected.
