Introduction  
The NEP-2 module is a five port marine Ethernet switch  
designed for use with compatible Simrad and Lowrance  
Ethernet devices. It can be used to share sonar, radar  
and weather information over the network.  
Lowrance HDS and Simrad NSE multi-functional displays  
are not designed to inter-operate and exchange data over  
the same network —even though they inter-operate using  
many of the same components.

Installation  
Mounting location  
When installing the expansion port you should consider  
the following:  
Ensure you have as much separation as possible  
between different electrical equipment (see following  
diagram for minimum distance recommendations).  
The NEP-2 conforms to the appropriate  
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards but  
proper installation is required to get best use and  
performance from this product.

Mounting the NEP-2 module  
Preferably mount the NEP-2 on a horizontal surface  
to avoid water following the cable and entering the  
connectors.  
If mounted on a vertical surface, mount the unit so that  
cables exit sideways. If that is not feasable, create drip  
loops to prevent moisture entering the connectors.  
Ensure correct rotation of the mounting holes when  
mounted vertically. See illustration below.  
Fasten the NEP-2 by using the screws included with the  
unit.  
Secure cables and ensure to not put strain in the  
connectors.  
Install the NEP-2 module and power cable at least 1.5  
metres (5 feet) away from your VHF radio antenna to  
prevent interference.

Wiring the NEP-2  
Don’t do this  
Do this  
Don’t make sharp bends in  
the cables.  
Do make drip and service  
loops  
Don’t run cables in a way  
that allows water to flow  
down into the connectors.  
Do tie-wrap all cables to keep  
them secure  
Don’t route the data cables  
in areas adjacent to radar,  
transmitter, or large current  
carrying cables.  
Don’t cut or modify the  
antenna cable  
Power  
Before starting the installation, be sure to turn electrical  
power off. If power is left on or turned on during the  
installation, fire, electrical shock, or other serious injury  
may occur. Be sure that the voltage of the power supply  
is compatible with the NEP-2 module.  
The NEP-2 has a voltage rating of 12 V DC or 24 V DC.  
(9 V DC - 32 V DC max range).  
The red wire should always be connected to (+) using  
a fuse or thermal breaker (5 Amp) to protect the cable.  
The NEP-2 is protected by an internal auto resetting  
fuse.  
The yellow power control wire has to be either:  
Common with the red wire (after fuse or breaker)  
Connected in common to the power control wire of a  
display or other device.  
If yellow wire is not connected; NEP-2 will be off.  
The device applying voltage to the yellow wire must  
share a common ground with NEP-2.  
The blue wire will not be used, so cap the end of the blue  
wire with a wire nut or electrical tape.
