Important information
WARNING
Although your ST40 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.
Handbook information
To the best of our knowledge, the information in this handbook was correct when it went to press. However, the Raymarine policy of continuous product improvement may change product specifications without notice. Consequently, unavoidable differences may occur between the product and the handbook from time to time, for which Raymarine cannot accept liability.

Chapter 1: Operation
1.1 Introduction
Your ST40 Bidata instrument:
•Provides speed information (current, maximum and average), in either knots (KTS), miles per hour (MPH) or kilometres per
hour (KPH).
•Provides log and trip information. These are given in either nautical miles (NM), statute miles (M) or kilometres (KM).
•Provides water temperature information. This is given in either degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
•Provides depth information in either feet (FT), metres (M) or fathoms (FA).
•Records the minimum depth encountered during the period it is switched on. You can reset this at any time.
•Enables you to define alarm thresholds for shallow water, deep water, shallow anchor and deep anchor.
•Enables you to see what offset is applied to the depth reading.
Note: The required speed, distance, depth and water temperature units are selected during User calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration).
CAUTION
Your instrument is calibrated to factory (default) settings when first supplied and must therefore be calibrated before use, to ensure optimum performance on your vessel. Do NOT use the instrument until the calibration procedures have been satisfactorily completed, using the procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration.
Coloured bezel and Desktop Mounting Bracket options are available for your ST40 instrument. Contact your Raymarine dealer for further information.
Display
The ST40 Bidata display comprises upper and lower data areas, each of which shows either depth or speed information, selected as shown in the following illustration.

1.2 Operating procedures
Operating information is presented in flow chart form. The flow charts show the various operating screens and key presses necessary to carry out the various instrument functions. Key presses are momentary unless otherwise stated. Note that:
•Up/down depth-trend arrows are displayed, if the seabed is rising or falling at a significant rate.
•The minimum depth reading is reset to zero at power up.
•The maximum speed reading is reset to zero at power up.
•The average speed reading is reset to zero at power up.
•The Log screen shows the total distance covered by the vessel since the ST40 Bidata instrument was fitted.
•The trip reading is reset to zero at power up.
Display action
During normal operation (see Normal operation flow charts), the
Speed, Depth and Water temperature screens are permanent screens, i.e. once one of these is selected, it will remain until another screen is manually selected. All other screens are temporary and after 5 seconds, will time out to the permanent screen which was last displayed for 5 seconds or more.
Silencing alarms
To silence an alarm (see the Alarms section, later in this chapter), momentarily press any one of the instrument keys.
