Both the Multi Function Display and Tridata Repeater have an NMEA standard output providing speed information to other onboard electronic equipment.

The timer functions operate independantly allowing boat speed and log information to be displayed whilst the timer is running.

Note: It is not possible to use the ST50 Speed as

a repeater unit without a transducer input.

When a dedicated repeater is required use

the ST50 Multi Function Display.

2.1 Siting

The ST50 speed instrument is designed for above or below deck installation.

Position where it is:

Easy to read by the helmsman.

Reasonably well protected from physical

damage.

At least 230mm (gin) from a compass.

At least 500mm (20in) from radio receiving

equipment.

Accessable from behind to secure in place

and run cables.

Normally viewed straight on for best display

legability.

Note: Tlie back cover is designed to breath through a duct in the cable boss to prevent moisture accumulation.

2.2 Mounting Procedure (Fig.

The mounting surface must be smooth and flat.

Use the template provided to mark the

centres of the two fixing holes and central boss.

Note: Adjacent units should have a 6mm

(1/4in)

separation to allow room for the protective covers.

0 Drill to 4mm

(5132in)

diameter.

0 Use a 50mm (2in) diameter cutter to drill the

hole for the central boss

Screw the two fixing studs 2, into the back

cover.

Pass the cable tails through the central hole and secure the instrument with the thumb nuts provided 3. (A sealing gasket 4 is already attached to the back cover).

Bracket Mounting (Fig. 2) As an alternative to surface mounting, a bracket mounting kit (Cat. No. 9130) is available to allow the Instruments to be bracket mounted.

2.4 Connection to Adjacent lnstruments (Fig. 4)

Fig. 4 To Transduce1

Jest installations only require one connection to

he 12V power supply.

This is connected to the first SeaTalk

nstrument using the 2 metre cable supplied.

Plug the connector into the instrument and ead the other end back to the vessel’s listribution panel. Cut the cable to length,

:onnect directly to the distribution panel and jrotect with a 5A circuit breaker. Connect the

ed wire to t 12V and the screen to OV. The

,ellow wire should be cut back and insulated.

Longer runs to the power supply can be made

rsing the SeaTalk Extension Cable (Cat. No.

1131) which is 9m (3Oft) long.

All instruments receive both power and information from the SeaTalk bus. Each

instrument has two

SeaTalk

connectors (3

on short 15Omm @in) tails to allow adjacent

units to simply plug together.

2.5 Connection to Separated htruments (Fig. 5)

Separated instruments are connected using the

SeaTalk Extension Cable (Cat. No. 0131). This is

supplied with a SeaTalk connector fitted to each

end and with a junction box to rejoin the cable if it is cut to ease routing or for shortening.

If preferred, any 2 core screen cable which

has the following specification may be used in

the place of the SeaTalk cable.

2.7 Connection to SeaTalk Compatible Autopilots (Fig. 6)

If the vessels installation includes a SeaTalk Compatible Autopilot the ST50 instruments may be connected into the SeaTalk bus at any point. No separate connection to the 12V power supply is necessary as the instruments will receive power via the bus from the autopilot course computer.

l Emery to remove burrs and roughen the

surface to provide a good key. Clean inside and outside the hull removing any grease with a weak solvent cleaner or household detergent.

l Remove the paddlewheel assembly and nut

from the through hull fitting 2 and apply sealing compound 3 to the mating flange and up the thread 6mm (114in) greater than the hull thickness.

l Assemble the through hull fitting making sure

that the arrow points forward. Do not overtighten the nut 1.

l Remove excess sealing compound.

Insert blanking plug ready for launch.

l Check for leaks immediately the vessel is

launched. Recheck within 8 to 24 hours.

Cabling

Route the cable back to the instrument.

Avoid running the cable close to flourescent

lights, engine, radio transmitting equipment etc. as these may cause interference.

Keep the cable clear of the bilges and secure

at regular intervals.

Never use any chemical or abrasive materials

to clean your ST50 Speed Instrument. If the instrument becomes dirty wipe clean with a damp cloth.

5.2 Through Hull Transducers

Periodically check the through-hull fitting for

leaks.

Keep the O-rings of the Speed/Log transducer

and plug well covered with Vaseline ensuring plug is always attached to transducer, ready for immediate use.

Always replace the Speed/Log transducer

with the plug whenever the vessel is being

hauled out or left for long periods.

Frequently check Speed/Log transducer for

fouling or damage.

Clean the outside of the through hull fitting

flange, or external transducer face with a stiff brush and protect with a single coat of anti-

fouling. Clean the paddle-wheel and exposed

end of Speed/Log transducer plug and apply single coat of anti-fouling.

7.1 Manual Calibration Procedure

Navigation purposes the following Log

Calibration procedures are carried out for your

specific installation.

There are two methods of log calibration.

Manual Calibration - allows a calculated log

calibration factor to be entered manually.

0 Automatic Calibration - allows up to four

measured runs to be entered and compared against a known distance. The log calibration factor is automatically calculated.

Procedure

If required, repeat last two stages for up to 2

more calibration runs over the measured distance.

Push and hold down for 2 seconds Speed and

Trip together to exit calibration and to store the new log calibration factor.

Note: If the calibration factor is not within 0.25 and 1.50 a mistake has been made in the calibration sequence and the previous calibration factor will be retained when exiting calibration mode.

The trip distance will be lost whenever

automatic calibration is used.
