GST™ 10 Installation and Conguration Instructions
Use the Garmin® GST 10 sensor adapter to adapt analog information provided by a compatible
water-speed sensor, water-temperature sensor, or combined water-speed and water-temperature
sensor on your boat to your NMEA 2000® network. Your GST 10 adapter allows you to observe
water-speed and water-temperature information on the compatible Garmin display devices
connected to your NMEA 2000 network. For a list of compatible Garmin chartplotters and
devices, visit www.garmin.com.
The GST 10 adapter is compatible with the following water-speed and water-temperature
sensors:
Garmin (Airmar ST850) thru-hull water-speed and water-temperature sensor (010-11413-00)
•
Garmin (Airmar T80) water-temperature sensor (010-11413-01)
•
Garmin transom-mount water-speed sensor (010-10279-02)

Determining an Installation Location
When you are selecting a location to install the GST 10 adapter, consider the following:
During installation, you connect the GST 10 adapter to the compatible sensor and to the
•
NMEA 2000 network, and to the NMEA 2000 network.
Choose a location that is within 173 in. (4.4 m) of the sensor. You cannot extend the
◦
cable connecting the GST 10 adapter to the sensor.
Choose a location between the NMEA 2000 backbone and sensor.
◦
◦
If you cannot connect the adapter directly to the NMEA 2000 network, add a drop cable.
See below for more information.
The adapter is IEC 60529 IPX7 waterproof, and can be submerged up to 30 minutes at 1
•
meter. Do not install the adapter in a location where it will be submerged regularly, though
the location can be subject to wash-down.
You can use cable ties (not included) to secure the adapter to an existing structure on your
•
boat.
You can use mounted-head cable ties (not included) and screws (not included) to secure the
•
adapter to a bulkhead or other suitable surface on your boat.
Install the adapter at least 2 in. (5 cm) from a magnetic compass to prevent electromagnetic
•
interference, which can cause inaccurate compass readings.
The GST 10 adapter provides temperature readings from -22°F to 194°F (from -30°C to
•
90°C). Temperature sensor readings beyond those extremes will not be displayed.
Connecting the GST 10 Adapter to a Water-Speed or WaterTemperature Sensor
The connector opposite the NMEA 2000 connector on the GST 10 adapter is designed to
connect directly to a compatible water-speed or water-temperature sensor. No cutting, splicing,
or additional wiring is necessary.
Connecting the GST 10 Adapter to a NMEA 2000 Network
After you have connected the GST 10 adapter to the sensor, connect it to the existing
NMEA 2000 network on your boat. If you do not have a NMEA 2000 network on your
boat, you must build one. For more information on NMEA 2000 and to purchase additional
connectors and cables, go to www.garmin.com.
To connect the GST 10 adapter to your existing NMEA 2000 network:
1. Determine where to connect the GST 10 adapter to your existing NMEA 2000 backbone.
2. Disconnect one side of a NMEA 2000 T-connector from the backbone. To extend the
NMEA 2000 backbone, connect a NMEA 2000 backbone extension cable to the side of the
disconnected T-connector.
3. Add the included T-connector for the GST 10 adapter to the NMEA 2000 backbone by
connecting it to the side of the disconnected T-connector.
GST10InstallationandCongurationInstructions

4. Connect the NMEA 2000 connector on the GST 10 adapter to the T-connector added in
step 3.
5. (Optional) If the GST 10 adapter cannot connect directly to the NMEA 2000 backbone, route
a NMEA 2000 drop cable (not included) to the bottom of the T-connector added in step 3.
Use a drop cable with a length up to 20 ft. (6 m). Connect the drop cable to the T-connector
and to the NMEA 2000 connector on the adapter.
NOTICE: If you have an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, it should already be
connected to power. Do not connect an additional NMEA 2000 power cable to an existing NMEA
2000 network, because only one power source should be connected to a NMEA 2000 network.

Conguring the GST 10 Adapter
NOTE: This section provides specic conguration information for the GST 10 adapter using
your compatible Garmin display device. To access the NMEA 2000 conguration menu on your
display device, consult the documentation provided with your display device.
Calibrating the Water Speed
To use the GST 10 adapter, you must calibrate the water speed.
1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GST 10 device.
2. Select an option:
For most Garmin chartplotters, select Review > Calibrate Water Speed.
•
For other Garmin marine devices, select Cong > Calibrate Water Speed.
•
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the water speed.

Assigning a NMEA 2000 Temperature Source
To use the GST 10 adapter, you must select the source for the temperature data.
1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GST 10 device.
2. Select an option:
For most Garmin chartplotters, select Review > N2K Temp. Source.
•
For other Garmin marine devices, select Cong > N2K Temp. Source.
•
3. Select the location of the temperature sensor.
Conguring the Temperature Offset
If the temperature data displayed on the gauge connected to the GST 10 adapter is not the same
as temperature data displayed on other devices, you can congure the temperature offset to
increase or decrease the displayed temperature by a specic amount.
1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GST 10 device.
2. Select an option:
For most Garmin chartplotters, select Review > Temperature Offset.
•

•
3. Select the temperature offset as a positive or negative decimal number, in degrees.
4. Select Done.
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 conguration” 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.
1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GST 10 device.
2. Select an option:
For most Garmin chartplotters, select Review > Sensor Number.
•
For other Garmin marine devices, select Cong > Sensor Number.
•
3. Select a sensor number.
4. Select OK.

To congure the temperature offset if the menu option is not displayed:
If the temperature data displayed on the gauge connected to the GST 10 adapter is not the same
as temperature data displayed on other devices, you can congure the temperature offset to
increase or decrease the displayed temperature by a specic amount.
1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GST 10 device.
2. Select an option:
For most Garmin chartplotters, select Review > Generic Cong.
•
For other Garmin marine devices, select Cong >Generic Conguration.
•
3. Enter the following command: “TEMPOFFSET=”
4. After the command, enter a positive or negative decimal number, followed by Done.
For example, TEMPOFFSET=-2.5Done indicates that the temperature readings displayed
on the gauge connected to the GST 10 adapter will be decreased by 2.5 degrees Celsius.
To congure the sensor number if the menu option is not displayed:
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 conguration” 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.
1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select one of the multiple the GST 10 devices assigned
to the same temperature source.
2. Select an option:
For most Garmin chartplotters, select Review > Generic Cong.
•

•
3. Enter the following command: “INSTANCE=”
4. After the command, enter a positive decimal number, followed by Done.
5. Repeat steps 1–4 for each GST 10 device assigned to the same temperature source.
For example, if two GST 10 adapters are assigned the value of Live Well, assigning
INSTANCE=1 to the rst adapter and assigning INSTANCE=2 to the second adapter
prevents the error message.
Restoring Factory Default Settings
You will lose all custom conguration settings when you restore factory default settings.
1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GST 10 device.
2. Select an option:
For most Garmin chartplotters, select Review > Factory Defaults.
•
