Thank you for purchasing a Raymarine product. We are sure your ST60 instrument will give you many years of trouble-free operation. This handbook describes how to install and use the Raymarine ST60 Tridata instrument. This instrument provides accurate depth, speed, trip and timer information, on a high quality Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The instrument is constructed in a rugged weather-proofed case to provide reliable performance, even under the most demanding conditions.

D4324-1

WARNING
Although the ST60 Tridata instrument is designed to give accurate and reliable performance, it should serve only as an aid to navigation and should never lead to the erosion of good seamanship. Always maintain a permanent watch and be aware of situations as they develop.

EMC conformance

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised.

Data inputs

The ST60 Tridata instrument can fulfil master and/or repeater roles by receiving data either from the appropriate transducers and/or from a SeaTalk instrumentation system.

SeaTalk

SeaTalk enables a number of compatible instruments to operate as a single, integrated navigational system. Instruments in a SeaTalk system are linked by means of a single cable, which feeds both power and data. Instruments can therefore be added to the system by plugging them into the network. SeaTalk is flexible enough to adapt to any number of compatible instruments without requiring a central processor. SeaTalk can also communicate via an interface, with nonSeaTalk equipment using the internationally-accepted National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol. In a SeaTalk system, each instrument can be either a master or dedicated repeater unit. A master instrument is directly connected to a transducer (the device that provides the raw data), and transmits data and control to other units on the network. A slave instrument is not directly connected to a transducer but repeats information provided by other equipment in the SeaTalk network.

Current depth display

The current depth screen shows the title DEPTH, the selected depth units and the depth measurement. It also shows a depth trend indicator, which is either an up arrow to show seabed rising or a down arrow to show seabed falling.
If for any reason depth information is lost, the DEPTH title will flash once per second and the displayed depth value will be the last good reading.
Depth alarm threshold displays
The alarm threshold displays are available if the instrument is operating as a master. Each display is identified by the presence of an alarm symbol and either an up arrow for a shallow alarm or a down arrow for a deep alarm. The shallow and deep anchor alarms are identified by means of an additional anchor icon. You can enable and disable individual alarm thresholds by pressing the reset key for 2 seconds, while the relevant alarm threshold is displayed. Each alarm threshold is displayed for a nominal 7 seconds, and if no action is taken during that time, the display will timeout to the current depth display. Adjusting alarm thresholds To adjust the alarm threshold levels, press the trip and reset keys simultaneously to enter adjust mode, then use either the trip key (to decrease) or the reset key (to increase) the threshold value. When you have set the required value, momentarily press the trip and reset keys again, to save the alarm setting and exit the adjust mode. Note: Adjustment of the shallow alarm threshold can be disabled during calibration. When adjustment is disabled, you cannot enter adjust mode.
Use the speed key to select the required information, as shown in the Using the speed key illustration. The speed measurement units are either knots (KTS), miles per hour (MPH) or kilometres per hour (KMH), as selected during user calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration). The maximum speed, average speed and VMG to windward are each displayed for a nominal 7 seconds, and if no action is taken during that time, the display will timeout to the Boat speed display.

Use the trip key to select the required timer (see Using trip key flow diagram). Once you have selected the required timer display, press the reset key to start the timer running. When a timer is running, the delimiter (i.e.or :) flashes. For lap timing, press the reset key momentarily. To stop and reset a timer to the start value, press the reset key for 1 second. Once a timer is running, you can leave the timer page and select any other display. The counter will continue to run in the background. Race-start timers If you are using one of the race-start timers and the timer buzzer is enabled, the buzzer will: Double-beep every minute. Beep three times at the start of the last 30 seconds. Beep once for each of the last 10 seconds. Beep for 2 seconds at zero. The timer buzzer is enabled or disabled as part of the calibration procedure (see Chapter 4, Calibration). Note: After a race-start timer has counted-down to zero, it will then start counting up.

1.3 Alarms

An alarm condition occurs if: The depth is less than the SHALLOW or SHALLOW anchor threshold. The depth is greater than the DEEP anchor threshold. The depth crosses the DEEP threshold. An alarm condition is indicated by an alarm buzzer and a flashing alarm symbol (bell icon) on the display. SHALLOW or DEEP alarms are indicated by up and down arrows respectively, and for anchor alarms an anchor symbol is displayed. When the instrument is operating as a master, you can check the alarm thresholds and if necessary set them up, as detailed under Normal operation - Depth. If an alarm is not enabled, the associated display shows an OFF legend.

1.4 Display settings

Remote control of an instrument is indicated by a REMOTE legend on the display, to indicate that the keypad has control. Details on how to use the remote control facility can be found in the SeaTalk Remote Keypad Owners Handbook.
Chapter 2: Maintenance and Fault Finding

2.1 Maintenance

Servicing and safety
Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised Raymarine service engineers. There are no user-serviceable parts in any Raymarine product. Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the cables/connectors when power is being applied to the equipment. Always report any EMC related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We will use any such information to improve our quality standards. When requesting service, please quote equipment Type, Model Number and, if possible, Software Release Issue. The Software Release Issue can be ascertained by means of the Intermediate Calibration facility, see Chapter 4, Calibration.

Instrument

Certain atmospheric conditions may cause condensation to form on the instrument window. This will not harm the instrument and can be cleared by increasing the illumination to the brightest setting. Periodically clean your ST60 instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do NOT use chemical and abrasive materials to clean the instrument.

Transducers

Refer to the Installation and Maintenance instructions supplied with the transducers.

Cabling

Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield and, where necessary, replace and re-secure.

040_3c02.p65

2.2 Fault finding
Preliminary procedur ocedures Preliminary procedures
Changes in the electronic environment may adversely affect the operation of your ST60 equipment. Typical examples of such changes are: Electrical equipment has recently been installed or moved aboard your vessel. You are in the vicinity of another vessel or shore station emitting radio signals. If you appear to have a problem, first ensure that the EMC requirements (see Chapter 3, Installation) are still being met before further investigating the problem.

Fixing faults

All Raymarine products are subjected to comprehensive test and quality assurance programmes prior to packing and shipping. However, if a fault occurs, use the following table to help identify and rectify the problem.
Instrument display blank.

No supply.

Remedy
Check supply. Check cabling and security of SeaTalk connectors. Check fuse/breaker. Return unit for repair. Check cabling and security of transducer connections. Clean paddle wheel. See CAUTION below Check security of SeaTalk connectors. Disconnect instruments one by one to isolate faulty unit Check security of connections between functioning and non-functioning instruments Check cabling cable or and security of transducer connections. Ensure readings stabilises when clear of disturbed water.

D4343-2

Flush mounting
The Flush Mounting Kit uses a low-profile bezel to reduce the fitted profile of the instrument, to approximately 6 mm above the panel fascia. Fitting the low-profile bezel In order to flush-mount your ST60 instrument, you must first replace the standard bezel with the low-profile bezel as follows: 1. Hold the instrument in both hands with the display towards you. 2. Using both thumbs, gently press an upper corner of the instrument from the bezel, then remove the bezel from the instrument. Retain the rubber keypad which is released when the bezel is removed.

D4537-2

3. Referring to the Fitting the low-profile bezel illustration, place the instrument face upwards on a flat surface and place the rubber keypad (7) in position around the display window (i.e. so that each key outline is located over its associated key on the instrument). 4. Snap the low-profile bezel (8) in position over the instrument, so that the rubber keys are correctly located in the holes on the bezel.
It is essential that only screws of the correct size are used to secure the instrument to the bezel. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage to both the instrument and the bezel. 5. Using the four, self-tapping screws (9) provided, secure the instrument and bezel together. Fit the screws from the rear of the instrument and tighten them sufficiently to secure the instrument and bezel together. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

D4362-2

Fitting the low profile bezel
Flush mounting procedure Flush mount your instrument ( see the Flush mounting illustration) as follows: 1. Assemble the ST60 instrument and low-profile bezel as described under Fitting the low-profile bezel.
2. Ensure that: The panel on which you intend to mount the instrument is between 3 mm and 20 mm thickness. The selected location is clean, smooth and flat. There is sufficient space behind the location to accommodate the rear of the instrument and connectors. 3. Apply the flush mount template (supplied at the rear of this handbook) to the selected location and mark out the aperture into which the assembled instrument and bezel will sit. 4. Cut out the aperture (3) for the assembled instrument and bezel and remove the template. 5. Peel off the protective sheet from the self-adhesive gasket (4) then stick the gasket into position on the rear of the bezel.

D5462-1

6. Screw the two fixing studs (1) into the threaded sockets on the rear of the instrument. 7. Mount the assembled instrument, studs, bezel and gasket into the panel. 8. Locate the flush mount bracket (6) onto the fixing studs and secure the assembly to the panel with the thumb-nuts (5).

Bracket mounting

A Control Unit Mounting Bracket (Part No. E25009) enables you to mount your ST60 instrument in locations where other forms of mounting are impractical. Although this provides a useful alternative method for securing your instrument, it is only suitable for use in positions where the instrument will not be exposed to water. To bracket mount your ST60 instrument, do so in accordance with the Control Unit Mounting Bracket Instruction Sheet.

Fitting transducer

The ST60 Tridata instrument is supplied, with appropriate throughhull Speed and Depth transducers. Each transducer is supplied with detailed instructions for installation and maintenance. Before attempting to install a transducer, read these instructions and the Site requirements for transducers described in this Chapter. Once you are satisfied you can meet all the installation requirements, install the transducer in accordance with the accompanying installation instructions.

Running transducer cable

Each transducer type has a 14 m (45 ft) cable fitted with spade terminals for connection to the ST60 Tridata instrument. The manner in which you run the cable will depend on the locations of the transducer and instrument. The following guidelines are provided: If the cable has to be fed through the deck, always use a proprietary deck gland. Where cables are fed through holes, always use grommets to prevent chafing. Secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard. Do not route the cable through bilges. Wherever possible, route the cable away from fluorescent lights, engines, radio transmitting equipment, as these may cause interference.
It may be necessary to remove the spade connectors from the transducer cable, to facilitate installation, e.g. if the cable has to be routed through narrow apertures. Extra spade connectors are provided, to replace any that are removed when running the cable. In order to ensure a secure connection when fitting spade connectors, fold back the wire strands as shown in the following illustration, before inserting the wire in the spade connector. Ensure the wire strands do not extend beyond the rear of the spade connector insulation.

Preparing wire for connection

D4467-2

Observing the above guidelines, run the transducer cable to the ST60 Tridata instrument.
Connecting the instrument

Types of connection

The ST60 Tridata instrument, can be connected: As a stand-alone, master instrument connected directly to a Speed and/or Depth transducer. As a SeaTalk repeater. To fulfil both repeater and master roles by being connected both to the transducer and to SeaTalk. Instruments connected to SeaTalk derive their power directly from SeaTalk and no separate power connection is necessary. Where a SeaTalk system includes an autopilot, the power for the system is provided by the autopilot. A range of Raymarine SeaTalk extension cables is available to connect separated instruments. These cables are supplied with a SeaTalk connector fitted to each end. A junction box can be used to join cables.

Signal connections

Make the necessary connections to your ST60 instrument (see the Connection to ST60 Tridata instrument illustration).

Connections to ST60 Tri Data instrument

Power supply connections

SeaTalk systems
When instruments are connected to SeaTalk, ensure that the power supply for the SeaTalk 12 V line is protected by a 5 A fuse. Systems with a large number of instruments on the SeaTalk bus may require connections to the power supply from each end of the system (ring-main style), to maintain sufficient voltage throughout the system. This requirement depends on the total length of the cable run and the total number of instruments in the system, as follows:

Cable run

Up to 10 m Up to 20 m

No. of instruments

13 maximum 26 maximum 7 maximum 13 maximum

Power connections

Red 5 A fused, 12 V dc supply (typically provided by autopilot) Screen 3 4

Red Screen 18

Instruments 5 to 16 17
SeaTalk power connections

D4311-1

Stand alone instruments Stand-alone instruments are not connected to SeaTalk and therefore need to be connected to an alternative 12 V power source. Power cables are available in 2 m and 9 m lengths. To fit a power cable: 1. Run the cable from the instrument to a suitable 12 V dc power source. 2. If the cable has not already been trimmed at the power supply end: a. Cut the cable to length and trim back an appropriate amount of the outer sheath. b. Cut back and insulate the yellow wire. 3. Connect the screen to the power supply 0 V terminal.

Depth offset WARNING:

The use of incorrect offset values could result in misleading depth information being displayed with a consequent risk of running aground. Depths are measured from the transducer to the sea bed. However, you can use the depth offset screen to apply offsets to this distance, so that the displayed depth reading represents either the depth from the keel or the depth from the water line. In order to do this, you need to know the vertical separation between the transducer position and: The bottom of the keel. The water line. Use the trip (decrement) and reset (increment) keys to set the required offset value: If you want to display the depth reading from the transducer, set a value of 0.0.

The speed calibration procedure involves carrying out two runs over a measured distance, to enable a calibration factor to be determined and applied to your ST60 Tridata instrument, to ensure optimum accuracy. Each calibration run comprises outward and return legs, to minimise the affect of tidal drift when the calibration factor is determined.
Note: It is recommended that the speed calibration procedure is carried out in conditions of minimum tidal drift. To carry out a speed calibration, start the Intermediate calibration procedure and use the speed key to proceed to the Calibration run length screen (see sheet 1 of the Speed calibration flow chart). Proceed with the speed calibration as follows: 1. With the Calibration Run Length screen displayed, press the trip and reset keys together to enter adjust mode. In this mode, the displayed run length flashes on and off. 2. Set the length of the intended calibration run, using either the trip key to decrement or the reset key to increment the run length value. You can set any value between 0.25 and 2.50. 3. Press trip and reset keys together to commence the speed calibration. The Cal status screen is displayed. The text at the bottom of the screen alternates between Strt 1 and the calibration factor (CF) currently applied. 4. Start first outward leg of the calibration run and as you pass the start point, press the speed key, so that the text out shows at the bottom of the screen. As the calibration run proceeds, the displayed value will increment. 5. At the end of the measured distance on the outward leg, press the speed key again so that: The text rEtrn is flashing at the bottom of the screen. The displayed distance freezes. Note that this value will not be the same as the measured distance due to errors introduced by tidal flow. 6. Turn the vessel round, start the return leg and as you do so, press the speed key so the rEtrn legend stops flashing and the displayed value increments. 7. At the end of the return leg, press the speed key to end the calibration run. At this point: The text Strt 2 alternating with the new calibration factor is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The displayed distance freezes. This value should be very close to the actual (measured) distance of the calibration run. 8. Press the depth and speed keys together, to store the new calibration factor.
