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 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 ...
DST-2 Compatibility
To be compatible with the DST-2, your transducer must be piezoelectric depth transducer crystal element using a three wire interface.
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: ...
