Raymarine , airmar and tack tick issue .

[Bradsworld]

After recently purchasing an old yacht and completing a full investigation/inventory of the onboard sensors and issue popped up .

Currently the boat has an
Airmar compass transducer T909
Airmar depth transducer 20-386-02
Airmar speed cog ST 850 -p17 T912

The are all connect to tacktick T122
Wireless kit which is then linked to a quark A032 . Which was linked to a very expensive nm100-2 . The wirless display was removed from the boat prior to purchasing it .

Can I hardwire the transducers directly to Raymarine T60 tri data ?

Thanking you kindly
Brad

Hi, Brad.
The T122 is an NMEA interface, normally used to take wireless data and put it on a wired NMEA circuit.
The Airmar units should be connected to a T121 Hull Transmitter, which sends the signals out on the proprietary TackTick wireless network, to the mn100-2 (MicroNet) and T122.
If you also have the T121, you can wire the output of the T122 (NMEA Out) to a converter, or bridge, from NMEA to Seatalk, which the ST60 will understand.
The Quark A032 bridges the NMEA0183 (older) signal to NMEA200 (newer), so you can use either NMEA signal to drive your new bridge to Seatalk. These are not too expensive.
