[CA] Component Compatibility

[dlane1181]

Is the DTS800 tri-sensor compatible with i70 instrument MFDs and the A-series GPS chart plotters?

And it appears to come with only a 9’ cable. What cable extension do you recommend for longer cable runs.

I upgraded to i70 MFDs about 18 months ago and added a 9” and 12” A-series chart plotter duo about a year ago, all connected through an iTC-5 transducer converter.

Because my older 50-series depth sensor was working fine, I continued to use it for depth soundings, but I’ve been using the AirMar Intelligent Tri sensor that came with the i70 suite for boat speed. Unfortunately, the boat speed transducer is malfunctioning and is no longer detected by the system.

I believe I can replace the Intelligent Tri with a DTS800, discontinue using the older depth sensor, and now start using it for all 3 measures, boat speed, depth, and water temperature. Correct?

Thank you.
