The ST60+ Wind and Close Hauled Wind instruments are constructed in rugged weather proofed cases. Each provides a sensitive and stable, combined analog and digital display, to deliver accurate information under even the most demanding conditions.

ST60+ Wind

The ST60+ Wind instrument provides a 360° apparent wind scale and can be used either as a stand-alone unit, or as part of an integrated SeaTalk instrumentation system.

viii	ST60+ Wind & Close Hauled Wind Instrument Owner’s Handbook

ST60+ Close Hauled Wind

The ST60+ Close Hauled Wind instrument provides an expanded indication from -60° to +60° about the bow and stern of the boat, on a combined analog and digital display.

Data inputs

SeaTalk

SeaTalk enables a number of compatible instruments to operate as a single, integrated navigational system. Instruments in a SeaTalk system are linked by means of a single cable, which feeds both power and data. Instruments can therefore be added to the system by plugging them into the network. SeaTalk is flexible enough to adapt to any number of compatible instruments without requiring a central processor. SeaTalk can also communicate via an appropriate interface with non-SeaTalk equipment, using the internationally-accepted National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol.

In a SeaTalk system, each instrument can be either a master or dedicated repeater unit. A master instrument is directly connected to a transducer (the device that provides the raw data), and provides data and control appropriate to its function, to all other equipment on the SeaTalk network. A repeater instrument is not directly connected to a transducer but displays information provided by other equipment in the SeaTalk network.

Stand alone operation

In Stand alone operation, the ST60+ Wind instrument is connected only to the relevant transducer and does not display information from, or provide information to, any other instruments.

Note: The ST60+ Close Hauled Wind instrument operates only as a SeaTalk repeater. It cannot be connected directly to a wind transducer.

Remote control

When connected to SeaTalk, the ST60+ Wind and Close Hauled Wind instruments can be controlled remotely by a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit, to provide instant remote access to the various display readouts.

Chapter 1: Operation

1.1 Getting started

This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the Raymarine ST60+ Wind instrument and ST60+ Close Hauled Wind instrument. These instruments show:

•Wind speeds and directions.

•Velocity Made Good (VMG) information, when boat-speed information is available.

•Tack angle, when heading information is available.

WARNING: Calibration requirement

To ensure these products perform at their best on your boat, you MUST calibrate them before use, in accordance with the instructions in Chapter 4, Calibration. Do NOT use either product until you have successfully calibrated it.

Switching on and off

All the time that power is applied to the instrument, you can use the disp button to switch the instrument off and on as follows:

•To switch the instrument off, hold down the disp button for approximately 5 seconds. After this time, a switch off count down of 4 seconds occurs. Keep the disp button pressed during this period, to switch off the instrument.

•To switch the instrument back on, hold down the disp button for approximately 1 second.

When the power supply is switched off, none of the instrument buttons (including disp) has any effect.

Notes: (1) Each time power to the instrument is switched on, the instrument is initially in the on condition. You do not need to use the disp button to switch the instrument on.

(2)When the instrument is on, the operation of the disp button will perform other operating functions, as described below.

Calibration alert

If the CAL legend on the digital display flashes for the first 30 seconds after any power up, use the appropriate procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration to:

1.Apply the factory defaults.

2.Carry out the linearization procedure.

Displayed information

The information on the ST60+ Wind and ST60+ Close Hauled Wind instruments is presented by means of a pointer and a digital display. This information can be either true or apparent, depending on which mode is selected.

Pointer

The pointer shows the true or apparent wind direction. The scale range given by the ST60+ Wind instrument is a full 360°, whereas the ST60+ Close Hauled Wind instrument gives an expanded indication from -60° to +60° about the bow or stern of the boat.

Digital display

The digital display shows the following wind and speed information:

•True/apparent wind speed.

•Velocity made good (VMG).

•Tack heading.

•Maximum wind speed.

•Wind alarm data.

You can select which information is displayed. When power is first switched on, the digital display shows the same type of information as was selected when power was last turned off.

Note: The TRUE and APP indicators flash for 8 seconds after power is switched on. This is a function of the remote control system and can be ignored if remote control is not being used.

Setting alarm conditions

The alarm level screens are accessed with the disp button (see the Using the disp button flow chart), and enable you to switch alarms on or off and set the alarm levels. The alarm level screens are:

•Maximum true wind speed alarm.

•Low true wind speed alarm.

•High apparent wind angle alarm.

•Low apparent wind angle alarm.

To set up an alarm, carry out the Switching alarms on and off , and Setting alarm level procedures, as necessary.

Switching alarms on and off

Use the disp button to display the required alarm level screen, then press the tack button for approximately one second, to toggle the alarm either on (i.e. so the alarm level is displayed) or OFF , as required.

Setting alarm levels

To set an alarm level:

1.Use the disp button to display the required level screen, then simultaneously press the vmg and tack buttons to enter the level adjust mode (indicated by the displayed value flashing).

2.Use the vmg (decrement) or tack (increment) button to set the required level. You can set:

•The maximum ( MAX ) and minimum ( LO ) true wind speed, to any value between 0 and 99 kts. Conflicting levels cannot be set, i.e. you cannot set the MAX level to a lower value than the LO.

•High (HI) and low (LO) apparent wind angle, to any value from 0 to° 180°.

3.Simultaneously press the vmg and tack buttons to leave the level adjust mode.

Note: Alarm levels can be set up only on master instruments. Alarm level screens are therefore not available on repeater instruments.
