Debth & Wind Speed

[keziahd]

Hello,
I have the MFD 12 system with a an Fi-50 display. We recently had to change out our house batteries and now it's no longer reading Depth or Windspeed. I don't know how to reprogram/reset/calibrate this now. Everything was working great before we pulled the batteries.
thank you!

Is it the MFD12 that is not reading the data now?
If so, run the installation wizard and check the that the data sources are selected properly.

Thank you, it's both. I'll try the installation wizard.

Okay, went through the wizard and all of the ports looks like they are set up but when I get to the "Source" tab there is nothing available in the dropdown for Speed Through Water, Water Depth, Wind.

It sounds like your NMEA 2000 bus has lost power during the battery change. Check to make sure the fuse did not blow or a wire was left disconnected.

Hi FishTech, thank you for all of your help so far! We are still struggling with this.
Here is what we know now... The NMEA2000 backbone is has 12v (red/black) and 120 ohms (blue/white) but we are still not getting Zero devices detected or reading.

You are at least missing a terminator. Should be 60 ohms on blue/white

Additionally, ensure that the NMEA 2000 shield wire is connected. Ideally it would go to the RF Performance Ground. If that does not exist, tie it to the NMEA 2000 DC negative at the power insertion point.

Go back into the Installation Wizard. In the NMEA 2000 tab, click on the Port Monitor. That should be a busy tab if things are functioning.
