Airmar DST800v transducer on Seatalkng

[daknecht]

I recently installed a new Airmar DST800V triducer on my boat and used a Seatalkng adapter cable to attach it to my existing Seatalkng network. When I powered up the system, the e95 MFD recognized a new transducer in the Speed section, but listed it as a DST200. In the Depth settings it showed nothing.
1. How do I get the e95 to recognize the triducer?
2. Does temperature show up somewhere on the MFD?

Welcome back to the Raymarine Forum daknecht,

Is the vessel presently located in the water?

No- I installed and tested it on the hard.

daknecht,

Regarding the Depth issue, please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject. As the system is detecting the NMEA 2000 DST source, the system is indeed properly sensing the transducer.

Unless the system features more than one source of a specific type of data (ex. depth, GPS, wind, etc.) there is no need to utilize a MFD's, i70/i70S MFID's, or p70/p70S/p70R/p70RS Autopilot Control Head's Data Sources feature.
