LMS-480M

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.

Power Connections: Your unit comes with a power/data cable that splits into three branches, each with several exposed wires. The thicker three-wire cable (white, red and black) is the power supply for your display unit. This cable has no label. The thinner branch with three wires (red, black and shield) is the power cable for a NMEA 2000 network. It is labeled "NMEA 2000 POWER." The branch with four wires (blue, yellow, orange, and shield) is a data cable, labeled "RS-232 COMM." It supports a serial communication port. This allows your unit to exchange NMEA 0183 data with another device, such as an autopilot, DSC marine radio or computer. (NOTE: There are two basic power connection options, which are shown in the following two diagrams. Read the following instructions carefully to determine which power connection applies to your unit. Depending on your configuration, you may not use all of these wires. )
