Hi. We have a network that includes 2 e165's, 6 i70 displays an iTC-5, DST-800 and wind transducer.
The issue is we have no speed data. The i70 will find the iTC-5 when looking for transducers, but the speed option is greyed out. The light on the speed/temp area gives a short intermittent pulse indicating not connected.
I tested the transducer according to the manufacturers website. Provided power to red and screen, and received power across green and screen when the wheel is turned. The iTC-5 provided 8 volts. I also performed the test provided on this forum. disconnected the green and tested resistance whilst turning the wheel. It alternated between open circuit and .4 M ohm.
Is this confirmation of a faulty iTC-5? Anything else to test? We3 are currently not in a position to remove it and send to Raymarine to test, but want to be as certain as possible before buying a new one.
Thank you.
