Tazzy Devil 18 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Have a couple of questions regarding electronics. I've just uninstalled a b and G H2000 system and replaced with NMEA 2000 Tritons and Vulcans. I went to a 2k wind setup and heading sensors but to avoid a a haul out ran the B and G analogue Speed and depth transducers (2 seperate transducers) through a DST-2 to convert to 0183 and then AT10 to 2K. The depth works fine but I can only set offsets in display, no biggie. The tritons are refusing to calibrate speed, and there is no in display option. So questions: Is there a trick I'm missing? or: Is there a speed only 2k option that will fit in the housing? In the frantic dash to get her sorted for Coastal Classic so would appreciate any advice!

Crazyhorse 47 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Sounds like a "sentence" issue. You might try looking in setup and see if there are settings for different instruments? I am assuming the H2000 is not looking for 0183 but 2K? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tazzy Devil 18 Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 Nah, it's definitely all coming through,I think the Triton can only calibrate smart transducers, there's processor on the network now. I'm hoping there's a way to calibrate in display but if not it's try to find a retrofit smart insert. If not that it's a bloody haul and fit a new TDX. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,239 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Yep, the Triton will only calibrate n2k transducers. Change to a dst800. I can check the dia later in the week when I'm home, but iirc it fits. Call Navico and ask if you need it sooner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tazzy Devil 18 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Thanks,! DST 800 is too wide. The current tdx is a st850 speed -h. According to air mar the 2k st850 will retrofit. Unfortunately they are not all that common. I’ve ordered one, just hope it arrives in a timely fashion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
