Introduction

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 Multi instrument. This instrument provides a wide range of accurate depth 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.

Data inputs

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. When connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Multi instrument repeats information provided by other equipment in the SeaTalk network. The ST60 Multi instrument can also provide data communication between the internationally-accepted National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) systems and SeaTalk.
81039_4.book Page viii Wednesday, March 24, 2004 3:14 PM

Remote control

When connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Multi instrument can be controlled remotely by a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit, to provide instant remote access to the various display readouts.

Options

Auxiliary alarm
An Auxiliary Alarm (Raymarine Part No. Z035)can be connected to the ST60 Multi instrument and set to respond to various system alarms. This provides an additional audible alarm at a much higher volume than the internal alarm.

1.4 Using the track key

If your system includes a SeaTalk autopilot working in conjunction with a track plotter, you can operate the track plotter in track mode, as follows: 1. Press the track key once, so the track plotter enters track mode. 2. In track mode to plot a track to the next waypoint, press the track key for 1 second. 3. To leave track mode, press the track key again.

1.5 Alarms

Internal alarms
The ST60 Multi instrument responds to alarm signals by sounding an internal buzzer and by flashing the appropriate alarm message at the top of the screen alternately with the normal top line of the current display. The alarm messages are as follows:
Message SHALLOW DEEP ALM ANCHOR WIND ALM LOW VOLT GUARD MARPA RAD FAIL Meaning Shallow water. See Note below. Deep water. See Note below. Deep or shallow anchor. See Note below. Wind speed. See Note below. The power supply voltage has fallen below the low voltage threshold Radar alarm Radar alarm Radar alarm
81039_4.book Page 8 Wednesday, March 24, 2004 3:14 PM
Note: If a depth alarm occurs while a page in the depth chapter is displayed, or a wind
alarm occurs while a page in the wind chapter is displayed, the screen will revert to the first page of the respective chapter.
To cancel an alarm, press any one of the ST60 Multi front panel keys.

Auxiliary Alarm option

An optional Auxiliary Alarm can be fitted at a convenient remote position, to give a loud, audible indication if any one of a range of alarms occurs. This option is particularly useful for situations where high ambient noise may make it difficult to hear the instruments internal alarm (e.g. aboard a power boat). The range of alarms sounded by the Auxiliary Alarm depends on: What data is available on SeaTalk. Which alarms are enabled during User calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration ). If the Auxiliary Alarm sounds, check your instruments to see which one is showing an alarm indication, and take the appropriate action.
Note: An Auxiliary Alarm cannot be fitted if the NMEA output port is being used.

1.6 Operating with NMEA

The ST60 Multi instrument can provide data communication between SeaTalk and NMEA when the appropriate connections are made, and supports NMEA 0183 compatible products.

SeaTalk to NMEA 0183

Data from SeaTalk is transmitted to the NMEA output port every 2 seconds. The data types and NMEA headers are:
Data Depth Heading, deviation and variation Magnetic heading Water temperature Water speed and heading Wind speed and angle NMEA Header DBT HDG HDM MTW VHW MWV

Servicing and safety
Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised Raymarine service technicians. They will ensure that servicing procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance. 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. When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimize these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We use such information to improve our quality standards. In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.

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 setting to Level 3. Periodically clean your ST60 instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do NOT use chemical and abrasive materials to clean the instrument.

Transducer

Refer to the Installation and Maintenance instructions supplied with the transducer.
81039_4.book Page 12 Wednesday, March 24, 2004 3:14 PM

Cabling

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

2.2 Troubleshooting

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 are still being met before further investigating the problem.

Fixing faults

Some data types may not be supported by your system and therefore will not be displayed on your ST60 Multi instrument. If you think that some data is missing, ensure that your system supports this data before assuming that a fault exists. All Raymarine products are subjected to comprehensive test and quality assurance programmes prior to packing and shipping. However, if a fault occurs, the following table may help to identify and rectify the problem.

81039_4.book Page 16 Wednesday, March 24, 2004 3:14 PM
ST60 Multi Instrument Owners Handbook CAUTION: The presence of moisture at the rear of the instrument could cause damage either by entering the instrument through the breathing hole or by coming into contact with the electrical connectors. ST60 instruments can be fitted either above or below deck, provided the rear of the instrument is sited where it is protected from contact with water. Each instrument must also be positioned where: It is easily read by the helmsman It is protected against physical damage It is at least 9 in (230 mm) from a compass It is at least 20 in (500 mm) from radio receiving equipment There is reasonable rear access for installation and servicing
EMC installation guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational 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. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product. The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment. For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible: Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are: At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m). More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power supply to our products, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not dam-

81039_4.book Page 17 Wednesday, March 24, 2004 3:14 PM
age the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode. Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual. If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position.

Suppression ferrites

The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.

D3548-6

Connections to other equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit.

3.2 Procedures

As it is not possible to describe procedures for all possible installation scenarios, the procedures given here describe the broad requirements for installing depth transducers and the ST60 Multi instrument. Adapt these procedures as appropriate, to suit your individual requirement. CAUTION: Where it is necessary to cut holes (e.g. for cable routing and instrument mounting), ensure that these will not cause a hazard by weakening critical parts of the vessels structure.

Unpacking

Unpack your ST60 equipment and check that the items described in the Preface are present.

Chapter 4: Calibration

4.1 Introduction
The ST60 Multi instrument is set up with factory-programmed default settings, so in order to optimize the performance of the instrument on board a particular vessel, the procedures in this Chapter must be carried out immediately after the completion of installation, and before the equipment is used for navigational purposes. Where practicable, the calibration procedures are presented diagrammatically to show the sequence of key presses and the resulting displays. Adjustment instructions are given where applicable.
Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.

4.2 User calibration

The User calibration procedures enable you to: Switch chapter titles on or off. Set which type of heading (true or magnetic) is displayed. Set the voltage at which a battery alarm will occur. Switch alarms on or off. Set the date format. Set either 12 hour or 24 hour clock. Apply an offset to the clock time. Select data units. Select waypoint identification (name or number). Select remote buzzer (NMEA OFF) or NMEA output (NMEA ON). Enable/disable individual alarms (for Auxiliary Alarm). Enable/disable the pop up pilot display.

Introduction

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 Wind and ST60 Close Hauled Wind instruments. These give: True and Apparent wind direction and speed. Wind speed is displayed either in knots, meters per second or as Beaufort scale values. Velocity made good (VMG). Maximum wind speed. In addition to this, ST60 Wind master instruments give: Maximum minimum true wind speed alarms. High and low apparent wind angle alarms.
ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument ST60 Wind instrument
The ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind instruments are constructed in rugged weather proofed cases. Each provides a sensitive and stable, combined analog and digital display, to deliver accurate information under even the most demanding conditions.

ST60 Wind

The ST60 Wind instrument provides a 360 apparent wind scale and can be used either as a stand-alone unit, or as part of an integrated SeaTalk instrumentation system.

ST60 Close Hauled Wind

The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument provides an expanded indication from -60 to +60 about the bow and stern of the boat, on a combined analog and digital display.

Data inputs

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 appropriate interface with non-SeaTalk 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 provides data and control for the service it is providing to all other equipment on the SeaTalk network. A slave instrument is not directly connected to a transducer but repeats information provided by other equipment in the SeaTalk network.

Stand alone operation

In Stand alone operation, the ST60 Wind instrument is connected only to the relevant transducer and does not display information from, or provide information to, any other instruments.

Displayed information

The information on the ST60 Wind and ST60 Close Hauled Wind instruments is presented by means of a pointer and a digital display. This information can be either true or apparent, depending on which mode is selected.

Pointer

The pointer shows the true or apparent wind direction. The scale range given by the ST60 Wind instrument is a full 360, whereas the ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument gives an expanded indication from -60 to +60 about the bow or stern of the boat.

Digital display

The digital display shows the following wind and speed information: True/apparent wind speed. Velocity made good (VMG). Tack heading. Maximum wind speed. Wind alarm data. You can select which information is displayed. When power is first switched on, the digital display shows the same type of information as was selected when power was last turned off.
Note: The TRUE and APP indicators flash for 8 seconds after power is switched on. This is
a function of the remote control system and can be ignored if remote control is not being used.

1.2 Normal operation

Competition wind vane (long arm). Typically mounted on a mast head. Rotavecta. Typically mounted on a rail or radar arch. The transducer is connected to the rear of the instrument.
Note: The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument does not connect directly to a wind trans-

ducer.

For advice, or further information regarding the installation of this equipment, please contact the Raymarine Product Support Department or your own National Distributor.
3.1 Planning your installation
Before starting the installation, spend some time considering the best positions for both transducer and instrument, such that the Site requirements and the EMC installation guidelines are satisfied.

Site requirements

Transducers
Each transducer type has a cable connected, and is supplied with a junction box and a set of spade terminals. The transducer location must: Allow reasonable access for installation and servicing. Be as high as possible and away from any equipment which may shield the transducer or otherwise disturb the air flow. Provide a horizontal mounting surface. If a surface (e.g. mast top) is otherwise suitable but not horizontal, make up a suitable wedged packing piece to provide the necessary horizontal surface. There must also be a viable route for the transducer cable to be routed to the instrument.

CAUTION: The presence of moisture at the rear of the instrument could cause damage either by entering the instrument through the breathing hole or by coming into contact with the electrical connectors. ST60 instruments can be fitted either above or below deck, provided the rear of the instrument is sited where it is protected from contact with water. Each instrument must also be positioned where: It is easily read by the helmsman It is protected against physical damage It is at least 9 in (230 mm) from a compass It is at least 20 in (500 mm) from radio receiving equipment There is reasonable rear access for installation and servicing

EMC installation guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational 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. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product. The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment. For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible: Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are: At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m). More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power supply to our products, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not dam-
ST60 Wind & Close Hauled Wind Instrument Owners Handbook age the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode. Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual. If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position.

Suppression Ferrites

The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.

D3548-6

Connections to Other Equipment If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit.

3.2 Procedure

As it is not possible to describe procedures for all possible installation scenarios, the procedures given here describe the broad requirements for installing wind transducers and ST60 Wind instruments. Adapt these procedures as appropriate, to suit your individual requirement. CAUTION: Where it is necessary to cut holes (e.g. for cable routing and instrument mounting), ensure that these will not cause a hazard by weakening critical parts of the vessels structure.

Unpacking

Unpack your ST60 instrument and check that the items described in the Preface are present:
Each ST60 instrument is supplied with a standard bezel for surface mounting. Optional mounting kits are available for flush mounting and bracket mounting the instrument. If you have ordered the flush mounting option a low-profile bezel and four fixing screws are also provided.

Fitting the instruments

The ST60 Wind and ST60 Close Hauled Wind instruments can be installed using one of a number of different mounting options: Surface mounting. Gives a profile of approximately 0.95 in (24 mm). Flush mounting. Gives a profile of approximately 0.25 in (6 mm). Bracket mounting. The ST60 instruments can also be mounted behind a panel with just the instrument dial and keys visible.

Surface mounting

To surface mount your ST60 instrument (see the Surface mounting illustration): 1. Ensure that: The selected location is clean, smooth and flat. There is sufficient space behind the location to accommodate the rear of the instrument and connectors.

D4306-2

ST60 Wind & Close Hauled Wind Instrument Owners Handbook 2. Apply the surface mount template (supplied at the rear of this handbook) to the selected location and mark the centers for the fixing studs (1) and the aperture (3) that will take the rear casing of the instrument. 3. Drill out the two 0.2 in (5 mm) fixing stud clearance holes (2). 4. Cut out the clearance hole (3) then 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 instrument. 6. Screw the two fixing studs into the threaded sockets on the rear of the instrument. 7. Mount the assembled instrument, studs, bezel and gasket into the panel. Secure from behind with the thumb nuts (5).

Flush mounting

The Flush Mounting Kit uses a low-profile bezel to reduce the fitted profile of the instrument, to approximately 0.25 in (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.

D4537-2

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. 3. 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. CAUTION: 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.

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 transducers

If you are fitting an ST60 Wind instrument and wish to use it as a master instrument, you must also fit a wind transducer.

Wind vane cable options
A wind vane is typically mounted on a mast top, as follows: 1. Mark the mounting surface for drilling. The recommended method for doing this depends on which cable option you intend to use: For cable option A, place the wind vane base in the intended position, with the front end facing forwards, and mark the position of the two fixing screw holes. For cable option B, use the template at the rear of this handbook, to mark the position of the two fixing screw holes and the cable hole. 2. Drill the mounting surface for the cable option you intend to use: For cable option A, drill a 4 mm hole at each of the marked locations for the fixing screw holes. For cable option B, drill a 4 mm hole at each of the marked locations for the fixing screw holes and an 8 mm hole at the marked location for the cable. 3. Referring to the Wind vane cable options illustration, route the cable correctly for the option you are using, then secure the wind vane base, using the two self-tapping fixing screws. 4. Insert the wind vane arm into the wind vane base connector and tighten the locking ring securely by hand.

Running transducer cable

General Each transducer type is supplied with sufficient cable already connected, to run from the mounted position to the ST60 Wind instrument. The manner in which you run the cable will depend on the locations of the transducer and instrument. Observing the following guidelines, run the transducer cable to the instrument: 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. If the transducer is mounted on a masthead or other structure likely to be removed for maintenance or storage purposes (e.g. a mast), always incorporate a junction box into the cable run as close as possible to the cable entry point into the vessel, to facilitate disconnection when required. Although the transducer cable is fitted with spade connectors for direct connection to the rear of the instrument, it may be necessary to remove these 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. When fitting spade connectors, prepare the cable as at (a) in the following illustration, then fold back the wire strands and insert into the spade connector as at (b). Ensure the wire strands do not extend beyond the rear of the spade connector insulation, then crimp the connector to the wire.

50 mm 6 mm

D4467-7
From masthead If the transducer is fitted on a masthead: 1. Remove the spade connectors from the free end of the cable, then feed the free end of the cable down inside the mast. If the mast is a through-deck mast, feed the cable out through a suitable below-decks aperture. If the mast is deck stepped, feed the cable through the deck, using a proprietary deck gland. 2. Fit the junction box inside the vessel, close to the cable entry point. 3. Run the cable to the junction box, then allowing sufficient cable to connect inside the junction box, cut the cable and connect each wire at the free end of the cable from the transducer, to a separate connector inside the junction box. 4. Connect each wire at one end of the remaining cable to the same-colored wire inside the junction box. 5. Run the cable from the junction box to the ST60 Wind instrument. 6. Crimp new spade connectors onto the wires at the instrument end of the cable, as described above.

Connecting the instruments

Types of connection

The ST60 Wind instrument and the ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument can each be connected to SeaTalk, as repeater instruments. The ST60 Wind instrument, can also be connected: As a stand-alone instrument connected directly to the wind transducer. 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 Wind instrument illustration). Although all possible connections are shown: You can connect only one transducer type (either Rotavecta or Wind Vane), to an ST60 Wind instrument. Do NOT attempt to connect both types, even if both are fitted.
Note: If at any time, the transducer type is changed (e.g. a Wind Vane is connected in place of a Rotavecta), use the procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration to apply the factory default settings, then carry out the linearization and alignment procedures.
The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument can only be connected to SeaTalk; it does not have transducer connectors.

Power supply connections

SeaTalk systems CAUTION: 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:

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. Ensure the intended power source is switched off. 2. Run the power cable from the instrument to a suitable 12 V dc power source. 3. If the cable has not already been trimmed at the power supply end: i. Cut the cable to length and trim back an appropriate amount of the outer sheath. ii. Cut back and insulate the yellow wire. 4. Connect the screen to the power supply 0 V terminal. 5. Connect the red wire via a 3 A circuit breaker to the power supply +12 V terminal. 6. Insert the power cable connector into one of the SeaTalk connectors at the rear of the instrument.

Chapter 4: Calibration

4.1 Introduction

The ST60 Wind instruments are set up with factory-programmed default settings, so in order to optimize the performance of the instruments on board a particular vessel, the procedures in this Chapter must be carried out immediately after the completion of installation, and before the equipment is used for navigational purposes. Where practicable, the calibration procedures are presented diagrammatically to show the sequence of key presses and the resulting displays. Adjustment instructions are given as applicable.
Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc. In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. Although this will not damage the equipment, it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.

4.2 User calibration

The User calibration procedures: Linearize and align the wind transducer. Select the required wind speed units
Linearizing and aligning the wind transducer
This procedure ensures that the sensors in the windvane transducer are correctly calibrated to record rotation of the windvane, then compensates for any small errors which may exist in the alignment of the wind transducer. To do this: 1. Power-up the ST60 Wind instrument. 2. Slowly turn the vessel through two complete circles. This procedure automatically linearizes the windvane. A successful linearization is indicated by the digital display flashing and the buzzer sounding three beeps.
ST60 Wind & Close Hauled Wind Instrument Owners Handbook 3. Hold down the disp and true/app keys for approximately 2 seconds to enter User calibration then use the disp key to select the wind angle screen (see the User calibration flow diagram). 4. Sail directly into the wind and adjust the analog pointer to zero, using the vmg and tack keys. If you are unable to achieve the required degree of accuracy due to sea conditions, and errors become apparent during subsequent tack operations, repeat this procedure to achieve alignment accuracy. 5. Display the wind speed units screen. 6. Use the vmg and tack keys to select the units you want, either knots (KTS) or meters per second (M/S).
