(DG) E80 Seatalk2 output to ST60+

(DG) E80 Seatalk2 output to ST60+
Just replaced my C80 with an E80 connected to a DSM 300 via SeaTalk HS.
Trying to sort out how to connect my ST60+ (Depth) and assumed I could use the Seatalk 2 output on the back of the e80.

Figured there would be a SeaTalk 2 plug to a SeaTalk 1 (Flat 3-Pin) that would allow me to simply use the E80s SeaTalk2 output to feed data to my ST60 Depth?

This seems like the most basic way to get transducer data to my ST60+. Since I am no longer using the DSM output cable from the DSM300 this may be an option too, however, I can't locate a DSM to SeaTalk 1 cable either.

Any help would be most appreciated. Would rather not put a separate transducer in just to receive data on the ST60+.

Hi Brettbc

Thank you for your enquiry below.

ST60+ uses SeaTalk, not SeaTalk2 and so the ST60+ should be connected to the SeaTalk connection on the rear of the E80. The DSM connection uses a very different data protocol and so that cannot be used either.

Please see the connector panel below . . .

The SeaTalk connector on the E80 uses a round plug, see below

This is the correct means to connect the ST60+tothe E80 and willenable the ST60+to share depth information from the DSM via the E80.

Regards

Derek, Thank you! I currently have the GPS coming into the SeaTalk port into the E80. I assume can I just add a Seatalk 1 junction box and have the GPS feed going "Into" the box and the other going "out" of the junction box to the ST60+ w/ a third wire connecting the box to the E80?

Hi Brettbc

Yes, absolutely right, simply fit a decent quality junction box into the existing cable and connect the SeaTalk from the ST60+ Displays into it as well.

regards
