Preface
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Raymarine product. We are sure your ST60+
instrument will give you many years of trouble-free operation.
This handbook describes how to install and use the Raymarine ST60+ Wind and
ST60+ Close Hauled Wind instruments. These give:
• True and Apparent wind direction and speed. Wind speed is displayed either
in knots, meters per second or as Beaufort scale values.
• Velocity made good (VMG).
• Maximum wind speed.
In addition to this, ST60+ Wind master instruments give:
• Maximum minimum true wind speed alarms.
• High and low apparent wind angle alarms.

Wind instrument
instrument
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.
Preface ix
Mounting options
A standard ST60+ instrument is surface-mounted at the required location. If you
do not want to surface mount your ST60+ instrument, options are available for:
• Flush mounting. If you have ordered the flush mounting option a low-profile
bezel and four fixing screws are also provided.
• Bracket mounting.
Parts supplied
Unpack your ST60+ instrument and check that the following items are present:
•Either
Item 1a, ST60+ Wind instrument, fitted with standard bezel for surface
mounting
or
Item 1b, ST60+ Close Hauled Wind instrument, fitted with standard bezel for
surface mounting.
•Item 2, Fixing studs (2).
• Item 3, Thumb nuts (2).
•Item 4, Gasket.
•Either
Item 5a, Wind Vane (not with ST60+ Close Hauled Wind)
or
Item 5b, Rotavecta (not with ST60+ Close Hauled Wind).
• Item 6, SeaTalk interconnection cable.
• Item 7, Power cable (not with ST60+ Close Hauled Wind).
• Item 8, Instrument Cover.
• Item 9, Junction Box (not with ST60+ Close Hauled Wind).
• Item 10, Owner’s Handbook. A Warranty document and fitting templates are
included in this Handbook.
• Item 11, Cue Card.
• Spare spade terminals are also provided, to re-terminate transducer cables if
they have to be cut to facilitate installation.
Note:
The above packing list is for an ST60+ Wind system. Where an instrument is pur-
chased separately, a transducer and junction box are not included.

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
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
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
mately 1 second.
When the power supply is switched off, none of the instrument buttons (including
disp) has any effect.
Notes: (1)

Chapter 4, Calibration
Each time power to the instrument is switched on, the instrument is initially in the on condition. You do not need to use the
switch the instrument on.
When the instrument is on, the operation of the

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
instrument gives an expanded indication from -60
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.

VMG button
Press the vmg button to show VMG information on the digital display. The
pointer continues to show the wind direction (true or apparent as previously
selected).
If boat speed information is not available on SeaTalk, the VMG cannot be

Alarms
An alarm condition is indicated by a flashing alarm icon on the digital display and
an audible alarm at the instrument.
• When an alarm is sounding the instrument will continue to display live wind
speed and angle.
• A wind speed alarm will cause the current speed unit legend ( KTS or M/S )
to flash.
• A flashing MAX legend indicates a high wind speed alarm.
• A flashing HI legend indicates a high wind angle alarm.
•A LO legend indicates either:
• A low wind speed alarm ( LO plus speed units displayed).
• A low wind angle alarm ( LO displayed).
Canceling an alarm
Pressing any button will cancel the alarm. Pressing the button repeatedly will
cancel any additional alarms.
