DST-2 CAN-H / CAN-L Connections
The CAN connections on the DST-2 were designed for an OEM customer that
only required a basic CAN connection. As the DST-2 CAN connections do
not meet the strict requirements of NMEA 2000, it is not possible to
certify or market the DST-2 as an NMEA 2000 product

NMEA 2000 Depth, Speed & Temperature Data from a DST-2
To get NMEA 2000 data from your legacy depth, speed or temperature instruments you may wish to use a DST-2 connected to the input of an NGW-1. Here's how to connect the two together:
NGW-1 Wiring Connections
For an explanation and diagrams of connecting an NGW-1 to an 0183 device or a serial connection please visit the following article: https://www.actisense.com/knowledge-base/nmea-2000/ngw-1/ngw-1-wiring-connections/ The article linked above also ...
NMEA 2000 Device Prioritisation
When there is more than one device of the same type (like a GPS) on the NMEA 2000 network, the NGW-1 will use the data from the highest priority (lowest source address). If the device you'd rather use as a secondary Talker for the NGW-1 claims a ...
Sharing NMEA 0183 Data with a PC
Connecting NMEA 0183 devices directly to a PC without isolation is not recommended as this can cause ground loops which will damage your PC and your NMEA 0183 devices. For examples of different connection methods, refer to the following article: ...
NMEA 0183 device not receiving data from NGW-1
If your NMEA 0183 Listener is not showing any data when connected to the NMEA 0183 output of an NGW-1, the first step for fault finding should be to see if the NGW-1 supports the conversions you need. For more information on the steps taken when ...
