2nd bow mount meter won’t read transducer
Posted: Sun Nov 29, 2020 7:13 pm
The HDS 7 in the bow is too small for my old eyes to work in split screen so I added a HDS12. I connected the 7 to the Ultrex US2 and figured I could just add the 12 by connecting to the HDI mounted on the Ultrex. WRONG!!
All of the individual components work when I tested in different parts of the network. In particular the HDS12 works when I connect it at the console in place of the Carbon. All 3 Gen3 units are running 18.2 and the Carbon is running v20.
KEY ISSUE - I cannot get a broadband or downscan image from the HDS12 when it is on the bow connected to the HDI transducer. I know the transducer is good as it works perfectly when connected to the HDS7.
Secondary issue - I get interference in the form of vertical lines when stepping on the power when using the HDS7 through the US2 transducer. Anybody else experiencing this. Not a major problem as this unit will mostly be used for charting.
Attached is a schematic of my network. Am I missing something?
I have done both soft and hard resets on the HDS12.
Help please
