Network Sensors monitor vital engine and boating functions.

Press Release Summary:



Offering optimized processor capabilities, NMEA 2000® Sensors integrate with HDS Gen3 and Gen2 Touch Multifunction Displays. Fuel Data Manager stores fuel-use data from engine or engine interface connected to network, while Fuel Flow Sensors track gasoline flow and calculate fuel used, trip fuel used, as well as seasonal fuel use. Configurable for any liquid, Fluid Level Sensors help boaters maintain awareness of tank levels. Pressure, Speed, and Temperature Sensors are also available.

Redesigned Network Sensors Enhance Boating Integration and Convenience for Anglers



NMEA 2000® Sensors Offer Enhanced Processor Capabilities for Advanced Integration with HDS Gen3 and Gen2 Touch Multifunction Displays



Tulsa, Okla. – Lowrance®, a world-leader in fishing electronics since 1957 — announced today the release of a redesigned lineup of easy-to-install, intelligent sensors designed to monitor an array of vital engine and boating functions. Compatible with NMEA 2000® networks, the newly released products include the Lowrance Fluid Level Sensor, Fuel Data Manager, and Fuel Flow, Pressure, Paddlewheel Speed and Temperature Sensors.



Following is a summary of the redesigned sensors and the functions they monitor:



• Fuel Data Manager and Fuel Flow Sensors feed data to compatible HDS Gen3 and HDS Gen2 Touch displays for effective management of onboard fuel levels.

• Fuel Data Manager stores fuel-use data from an engine or engine interface connected to the network and can support data from up to three engines.

• Fuel Flow Sensors track gasoline flow and calculates fuel used, trip fuel used, as well as seasonal fuel use. When combined with a GPS speed source or the transom-mounted Paddlewheel Speed Sensor, boaters can use the Fuel Flow Sensor to calculate fuel economy to optimize time spent on the water.

• Fluid Level Sensors allow boaters to maintain awareness of tank levels and can be configured for any liquid – fuel, oil, live well, fresh water, gray water or black water tanks.

• Pressure Sensors are pre-configured for engine water pressure, but may be set for engine boost pressure, engine oil pressure or transmission oil pressure.

• Temperature Sensors (available in standard and thru-hull models) are calibrated for water temperature, but can also be used to monitor live well, bait well, outside, inside, engine room, cabin, refrigeration and heating system temperature. Configuration and display of this information is completed using Lowrance HDS multifunction displays.



Available from authorized Lowrance dealers worldwide, the Fluid Level Sensor, Fuel Data Manager, Pressure Sensor, Paddlewheel Speed Sensor, Temperature Sensor and Thru-hull Temperature Sensors are priced at $99 USD. The Fuel Flow Sensor is priced at $199 USD.
