ST290 Instrument System Owner’s Handbook

Chapter 1: An Introduction to Digital

Instruments

1.1 Overview

The ST290system uses Graphic and Data Display digital instrument
types. The Graphic Display uses a dot-matrix screen, which gives
flexibility in the way data can be displayed, and offers a wide range of
display formats, including graphs and animations. The Data Display has
a clear, easy-to-read LCD screen, with upper and lower display areas.

DEPTH FT

DEPTH FT

2-1-1

Figure 1-1: Typical digital instrument displays

Chapter & page structures

Information on both digital instrument types is organized in ‘chapters’
and ‘pages’, to enable you to easily find the data you want. Details on the
chapter andpage structures of the profiles available foreach instrument

type are given in Section 2,Chapter 2,GraphicDisplayand Chapter 3,
Data Display.

In this handbook it is assumed that all instrument chapters and pages are
available. However,it is important to realize that some chapters and
pages may not be available, for one or more of the following reasons:

• The relevant transducers may not befitted on your vessel, or trans­ducer data may not be available.

• Some chapters and pages may have been disabled during customiza-

tion (see Section 7, SystemSetup).

• Some chapters and pages may not be supported by the operating pro-

file applied tothe instrument you areusing. SeeOperatingprofiles on

page 2-1-6 of this chapter.

Displays, this distance is shown as a circle around the waypoint.

Man Overboard alarm

If the Man Overboard (MOB) alarm is triggered (from the Man

Overboard Keypad (see Section 4, Chapter 3), the distance and bearing

to the MOB location are displayed.

1.3 Instrument setup

ST290 digital instruments have a wide range of customizing and setup
features, to enable you to set up the best configuration for you and your
boat. The setup features are summarized here, but for details of how to

implement them, refer to Section 7,System Setup.

Most of the setup and customization features are particular to individual
digital instruments, so the chapter and page structure at any one
instrument may well be different from other instruments.

User Setup chapter

A USER SETUP chapter enables you to enter User Setup mode, to set:

• Response times.

• Favorite pages.

• Which operating profile is applied.

• Display options.

• The units used for displaying data.

• Backlighting values.

• Remote control configuration.

User Setupis also used tocalibrate thetransducers and setupthe autopilot
system.

Refer to Section 7,System Setup,for further details on User Setup.

ST290 Instrument System Owner’s Handbook

Operating profiles

Preset and customizable profiles enable you to select the most
appropriate ranges of chapters and pages at each instrument, to best suit
your methods of operation.

Preset profiles

Each instrument hasthe following in-built PRESET profiles:

• Full profile, which makes available all the ST290 functions appropri­ate to the instrument type.

• Sail boat profile.

• Power boat profile.

You CANNOT edit a PRESET profile, but you can edit custom profiles
(see below).

Diagrams showing the chapter and page structures for the preset profiles

for the Graphic and Data Displays are given in Secti on 2,Chapter 2, and

Custom profiles

CUSTOM profiles are available at each instrument, and you can edit
these to create the chapter and page combinations you require. You can
create appropriate profilesfor different activities (e.g. racing,cruising) or
for different users.

Favorite chapter

At each digital instrument, a Favorite chapter provides a powerful
feature which enables you to group together in one chapter, information
that you usemost often.You can includeinformation from any chapter,to
form up to fiveFavorite pages.

ST290 Instrument System Owner’s Handbook

Chapter 1: An Introduction to Digital Instruments 2-1-7

If youchoose the appropriate information for your Favorite pages,it
should be possible to carry out many of your day-to-day operations
using just the Favorite chapter.

If your ST290 system is connected to a computer running Raymarine
RayTech, you can use the Favorite pages to display RayTech data.

The manner in which Favorite pages are used with Graphic and Data

Displays, is described in Section2, Chapter 2and Chapter 3

respectively.

Transducer calibration

WARNING:

It is imperative thattransducer calibration is completed before the
system is used, to ensure safe navigation.

Transducer calibration can be carried out from any Graphic Display.

To reset the minimum depth or maximum depth value:

1. In the Depth chapter, select the appropriate page.

2. Hold down the button for 2 seconds. After 1 second the displayed
value flashes and after 2 seconds, it resets to the current depth value.

Depth transducer offset

Depths are measured from the Depth transducer to the seabed. However,
you can apply an offset to the actual distance measured so that the
displayed depth reading represents the depth either from thewaterline
(positive offset) or from the bottom of the keel (negative offset).

WARNING:

The use of incorrect offset values could result in misleading depth
information being displayed with a consequent risk of running
aground.

Before using your ST290 system, ensure the correct depth transducer

offset has been set, as detailed in Section 7, System Setup.

Chapter and page titles

During Normal operation, the page title isshown at the top of each
display area.

Chapter titles can be turned on or off during User Setup (see Section 7),

but it is recommended you do not turn them off unless you are very
familiar with the chapter and page structures.

In Chapter Select mode, when the chapter titles are turned on, the chapter
title is displayed at the top of the relevant display area and centered
horizontally.

Available information

The information you can see on your instrument depends on which
profile is selected and on which transducers are fitted to your boat.

The chapter and page structures of the Full, Sail and Power operating
profiles for the Data Displays are shown in diagrams at the end of this
chapter. These diagrams assume that a full range of data is available (i.e.
that all necessary transducers are fitted).

Resetting depth values

To reset the minimum depth or maximum depth value:

1. In the Depth chapter, select the appropriate page (MIN DEPTH or MAX
DEPTH, as appropriate).

2. Hold down the button for 2 seconds. After 1 second the displayed
value flashes and after 2 seconds, it resets to the current depth
reading.

Depth transducer offset

Depths are measured from the Depth transducer to the seabed. During
setup, adepth transducer offset can be applied to the actual distance
measured, so that the displayed depth reading represents the depth either
from the waterline (positive offset) or from the bottom of the keel
(negative offset).

This is the value displayed on the DP OFFSETpage.

WARNING:

The use of incorrect offset values could result in misleading depth
information being displayed with a consequent risk of running
aground.

Before using your ST290 system, ensure the correct depth transducer

offset has been set, as detailed in Section 7, System Setup.
