The Lowrance LCX-18C is a combination GPS and fishfinder unit that uses three proprietary connectors on the device itself. The 10-pin PWR/DATA connector carries main power, speaker output, and serial data on two COM ports; the 4-pin GPS connector interfaces with an external antenna/receiver module; and the 7-pin sonar connector interfaces with 50/200 kHz transducers (not fitted on GlobalMap series units). Only the pins listed below are covered.
