ITC-5 speed calibration failure

[cstotland]

Chuck,

The instructions for the Triducer indicate the bare wire lead should be connected to the depth drain connection, not the speed/temp. I connected as recommended by the transducer directions.

"When connecting a DST800 to an iTC-5, only one screen connection is required. This must be made to the Depth terminal on the iTC-5. In this configuration, the screen on the Speed/Temp terminal must remain disconnected."

Except...Turns out it was my bad....I had the shield and black wires reversed. I'd installed the black tube included with the fittings over the drain wire and mixed the two up. Seems OK now. Sorry for the false alarm.

BTW, the Speed LED lights hard for several seconds before beginning to flash
