ST30 Bidata Operation and Installation Handbook
Introduction
Designed for above or below deck installation, the ST30 Bidata can be
used as a stand-alone master instrument or set to repeat depth and speed
information from the SeaTalk bus.
The ST30 Bidata will display the following information:
• Water depth
• Shallow water alarm
• Deep water alarm
• Keel/Waterline offset
• Minimum depth
• Boat speed
• Log
• Trip
• Maximum speed
• Average boat speed
• Illumination level

BIDATA
The ST30 Bidata instrument may be installed above or below deck where
it is:
• easily read by the helmsman (normally viewed at eye level)
• protected from physical damage
• at least 230mm (9in) from a compass
• at least 500mm (20in) from radio receiving equipment
• accessible from behind for ease of installation and cable running
Notes:
To prevent the build-up of moisture, the instrument breathes
through the back cover. The instrument must, therefore, be mounted
where the back cover is protected from direct water.
The rear case is fitted with a foam gasket to form a water-tight seal
between the instrument and the installation face.

5 Depth transducer cable 6 Speed transducer cable
1. Make sure the surface to which the instrument (1) is to be mounted is
smooth and flat.
2. Use the fitting template (supplied) to mark the centres for the two
fixing holes and the instrument connector boss.
Note:
To allow for the fitting of protective covers, adjacent
instruments must have a 6mm (1/4in) gap between them (116mm
centre to centre min.).
3. Drill two 5mm (0.2in) diameter holes for the fixing studs (2).
4. Using a 60mm (2 3/8in) diameter cutter, drill a location hole for the
instrument connector boss.
5. Connect the power supply and transducer cables to the back of the
instrument (1) (see relevant installation sections).
6. Screw the two fixing studs (2) into the back cover.
7. Install the instrument (1) and secure with the thumb nuts (3) provided.

12v Supply
–
For stand-alone operation, use the standard 1m cable supplied.
1. Connect the moulded power plug to either 'SeaTalk' connection on
the rear of the instrument. Run the free end back to the vessel's
distribution panel.
2. Cut the cable to length and connect the red wire to 12V and the
screen to 0V. Protect the circuit with a 5A fuse/circuit breaker.
1.4 Power supply (SeaTalk system)
The ST30 Bidata can be connected to an existing SeaTalk system using a
Standard SeaTalk Extension or Interface Cable.

1.5 Connection to adjacent ST30 Instruments
The ST30 Bidata is supplied with a daisy-chain cable that allows adjacent
ST30 instruments to be linked together. The daisy-chain cable supplies
power to adjacent instruments and allows data to be transmitted and
received via the SeaTalk bus.
The daisy-chain cable plugs into one of the SeaTalk ports on the back
cover.

2.1 Connection to instrument
The depth and speed transducers are supplied with 10m (32.5ft) of cable.
These cables are fitted with female spade connectors that plug directly
into the back of the ST30 Bidata instrument.

The ST30 Bidata system is supplied (as standard) with plastic through hull
transducers. These are suitable for use with Glass Reinforced Plastic
(GRP), Steel and Aluminium hulls.
Alternative transducers are available for wooden hull and transom mount
installations.
