Connecting Directly to the Unit
After the module is installed, attach it to the end of the Y-adapter ex-
tension cable as shown in the following diagram. To connect it to the
unit, insert the extension cable's splitter plug into the Network socket
on the back of the unit and your system is ready to use.
LGC-2000 direct connection to GPS unit.
NOTE:
The extension cable’s shorter branch will have a 60-ohm terminator at-
tached to it. Do not remove this terminator. When you're not con-
necting to a NMEA 2000 buss, you must leave the terminator con-
nected to this socket for your antenna/receiver to function correctly.
Connecting to a NMEA 2000 Network
The LGC-2000 can be connected to a NMEA 2000 buss, providing GPS
information to any Lowrance GPS units attached to the buss. Contact LEI
Extras (look inside back cover for accessory ordering information) for a
NMEA 2000 buss adapter cable if you would like to do this.
There are two ways to connect the antenna to a NMEA 2000 network
port. One method (shown in the following image) is to use the extension
cable's Y-adapter to connect both the antenna and the unit to the same
network port. To do this, simply remove the 60-ohm terminator shown in
the previous image and attach the NMEA 2000 buss adapter cable to the
shorter branch of the extension cable's Y-adapter. Connect the NMEA
2000 buss adapter cable's other end to an available network port.

You can also attach the antenna to a remote port on the network, and
pass position information along the network. To do this, simply attach the
