[CA] [CA11] ST1 to STNG Converter Fails WIth ST1 Connected

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Mark,

The reported symptom may be indicative of faulty SeaTalk communication circuitry within the ST60 instruments. It is quite possible for ST60 instruments to appear to be functioning correctly, but not be communicating between them. If any of these instruments is designed to display data from one of the other instruments or to enable modes dependent upon other instruments (ex. True wind is dependent upon detection of a source of Speed Through Water (STW) data), then it may indicate properly functioning communications circuitry within the dependent ST60 instruments. Should such communications be observed, then there may be a fault with the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter.

With regard to interfacing the ST-STng Converter to a NMEA 2000 network, please note that the ST-STng Converter must be installed as a backbone (not a spur) component.
