B275LHW to DI-FFAMP to TZT16F..please help

[MercuryPanama]

Hi guys, looking for some internet wisdom. We installed a completely new TZT3 network, (2) TZT16F, (1) TZT12F, DRS25ANXT, NAVPILOT 300, SCX20, HUB102, NMEA2000 NETWORK, and here is where the issue lies, a DI-FFAMP with a B275LHW transducer.

After research we understood that the B275LHW could be connected directly to the TZT16F but that if it ran through a DI-FFAMP you got a better quality image and readings so we decided to go that route. The B275LHW brought a connector for direct plug, we spliced it and connected it to the DI-FFAMP following the wire color code specified in the TZ3-12P-PGT, LF - HF - xID - TEMP, powered the DI-FFAMP, connected it to the back of the TZT16F to the plug labeled DI-FFAMP, powered the HUB102 and the nmea2000 network and went for a sea trial.

We have no bottom reading, when we go into source for the transducer we only have 2 options, both say TZT16F, we chose either and its the same no reading, and we can't find any network communications or see a DI-FFAMP connected to the system anywhere.

What is your opinion on this? Should the B275LHW connected thru the DI-FFAMP work normal? Is it a configuration deal? Or is there a redundancy issue? I dont think so because Im sure i can install a B275LHW directly to the TZT16F and then side scan transducers to the DI-FFAMP and the whole system should be able to see all transducers right?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, we are in a remote area in Panama, Central America, tech support locally has been unreacheable and we have a 10 day marlin fishing trip starting tomorrow... Please Help us catch this fish!!! Thank you all.

The B275LHW is a 1 kW transducer. The DI-FFAMP is strictly an amplifier to drive 2, 3, 5, or 10kW transducers. Notice in the list below all the supported transducers are at least 2 kW. The B275LHW is not to be connected to the DI-FFAMP. You can connect the side scan transducer to one of the TZT16F's and the B275LHW to the other. Disconnect the DI-FFAMP, it is not compatible with the B275LHW.

Thank you very much for the help, we got bottom reading working now.

Couple new questions. Attached is an image, we are showing this double bottom looking image, I feel it's configuring, but I can't get it right.

Also we installed in front of the step, flush, we are running right now at 35mph but we are not reading depth, is this a configuration problem also?

Again, thank you for the help.
