Troubleshooting the Sensor Number
If multiple GST 10 adapters are assigned to the same NMEA 2000 temperature source, each adapter is assigned a unique sensor number
automatically. If the "Invalid NMEA 2000 temperature configuration" error message appears, you must assign a unique sensor number to each
adapter.
For example, if two adapters are assigned the NMEA 2000 temperature source value of Live Well and the error message appears, you must
assign each adapter a unique number.
