Important information

WARNING

Although your ST30 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.

The design and manufacture of Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised.

Chapter 1: Operation

1.1 Introduction

The ST30 Round Bidata instrument is designed for the powerboat market, and displays speed and depth information simultaneously on a split LCD. The Bidata can also display trip and log distances, sound a user-defined shallow alarm, and function as a repeater.

The instrument can be surface or flush mounted and fits the standard

85.7 mm (3 3/8 inch) diameter facia apertures, common on many sports boats.

The Bidata uses an easy-to-install transom mount transducer (Biducer) combining both speed and depth elements in a single housing.

If the Bidata is used in conjunction with a SeaTalk autopilot, the speed input provided by the instrument enhances the pilot's steering performance.

The operating procedures are presented as a combination of flow charts and text. Unless otherwise stated, the illustrated key presses are momentary.

The Bidata can display depth and speed information in metric and imperial units. These are set during basic calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration).

Depth is displayed in feet (0 to 400 ft) or metres (0 to 120 m).

Shallow alarm

The shallow alarm displays the depth (feet or metres) at which point audible and visual alarms will be triggered. These alarms can be silenced by pressing the speed or depth key.

Adjusting shallow depth

1. From the shallow depth alarm display, press depth and speed together momentarily to display CAL.

2. Press depth and speed together again momentarily to enter edit mode (+ and - displayed).

3. Press depth to increase and speed to reduce the displayed value.

4. Press and hold depth and speed together for 2 seconds, to exit edit mode and save the new value.
