DST800 Thru-Hull Transducer / analogue as replacement for sonic sensor
|
I am investigating the possibility for using paddle speed transducer. There is Analog version of DST800 available. The specification are saying it is only for Raymarine ST60 but as I remember on my previous boat all this was analog to the instrument and then it was converted in to seatalk. Have any one used this transducer to connect to B@G Hydra 2000?

Hello,
I have changed the sonic speed for a DST 800 analogic. It doesn’t work because the sounder is 200 kHz on the DST Airmar and 170 kHz on the B&G. Dominique Irko 1 A54-#16 |

Thank you. Speed and temperature are working?

I use a gps -nmea to loch pulse between the GPS and the Hydra 2000 and it works fine. Dominique |

Yes. But my forward scan sounder doesn’t work (it’s 200 kHz like the DST). They can’t work both at the same time.

It is a difference if you measure the speed through water (paddle speed transducer) or the speed on ground (gps). This difference is the current of water you are navigating actually. -- Gerhard Mueller Amel Sharki #60 Currently Kalamata, Greece |
