2.2 Installing transducers

Transducer types

ST70+ can operate with:
• Conventional transducers (separate Speed, Depth and Wind).
• Smart transducers (combined Depth/Speed/Temperature (DST) and combined
Depth/Temperature (DT) transducers).
The main difference in installation requirements for these two groups is that each
conventional transducer connects to a dedicated pod which then connects to
ng
SeaTalk via a fitted SeaTalk
directly to the SeaTalk

Fitting

Fit each transducer in accordance with the accompanying instructions.

Connecting

Conventional transducers

CAUTION: Do not use the wrong pod
Using the wrong type of pod could cause damage to your equipment. Before
connecting, always ensure that the pod you intend to use is compatible with
the transducer type.
Conventional transducers and associated pods are available for wind, depth and
speed. Each transducer connects via a dedicated pod to SeaTalk
Connect each conventional transducer as follows:
1. Ensure the pod you intend using is compatible with the transducer, i.e. speed pod
for a speed transducer, depth pod for a depth transducer or wind pod for a wind
transducer.
