NMEA 2000 Checklist 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 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. 1. From the NMEA 2000 Devices list, select the GST 10 device. 2.
