1.3 Maintenance

Servicing and safety

• Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine ser­vice technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement
parts used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in
any Raymarine product.

• Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables/connec­tors when power is being supplied to the equipment.

4 ST60 Club House Wind Instrument Owner’s Handbook

• When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields.
These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one
another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimize
these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your
Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to
enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equip­ment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

• Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer.
We use such information to improve our quality standards.

• In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from
being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the
equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may
result in faulty operation.

Instrument

Certain atmospheric conditions may cause condensation to form on the
instrument window. This will not harm the instrument and can be cleared by
increasing the illumination setting to Level 3.

Periodically clean your ST60 instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do NOT use
chemical and abrasive materials to clean the instrument.

Transducer

If the windvane is removed from its mounting block for any reason, fit the
blanking cover (supplied) to the windvane mounting block connector.

Cabling

Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield and, where
necessary, replace and re-secure.

1.4 Troubleshooting

Preliminary procedures

Changes in the electronic environment may adversely affect the operation of your
ST60 equipment. If a you appear to have a problem, first ensure that the EMC
requirements (see
further investigating the problem.

Chapter 2, Installation & Calibration

) are still being met before

Chapter 1: Operation & Maintenance 5

Fixing faults

All Raymarine products are subjected to comprehensive test and quality
assurance programmes prior to packing and shipping. However, if the instrument
display is blank due to an apparent fault, check:

• The power supply.

• The security of cables and connectors.

• The fuse or circuit breaker.

2.1 Planning your installation

Before starting the installation, spend some time considering the best positions
for both transducer and instrument, such that the

installation guidelines

are satisfied.

Site requirements

Wind Vane

The Wind Vane has a cable connected, and is supplied with a junction box and a
set of spade terminals.

The location for the Wind Vane must:

• Allow reasonable access for installation and servicing.

• Be as high as possible and away from any object which may shield the Wind

Vane or otherwise disturb the air flow.

• Provide a horizontal mounting surface. If a surface (e.g. mast top) is otherwise
suitable but not horizontal, make up a suitable wedged packing piece to pro­vide the necessary horizontal surface.

EMC installation guidelines

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry
standards for use in the recreational marine environment.

Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that
performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure
that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what
factors could affect the operation of the product.

The guidelines given here descri be the conditions for optimum EMC performa nce,
b ut it i s r ec o gn iz e d t ha t it ma y n ot b e p os si bl e to me e t a ll o f t he s e c on di ti o ns in a ll
situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the
constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation
possible between different items of electrical equipment.

For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:

• Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:

• At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying

radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB
radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m).

• More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can nor-

mally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating
element.

• The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine
start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power supply to our products, and
starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not dam­age the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may
change the operating mode.

• Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can
compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is
detailed in the installation manual.

• If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be
removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reas­sembled in the same position.

Suppression ferrites

The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with
Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.

10 ST60 Club House Wind Instrument Owner’s Handbook

D3548-6

Connections to other equipment

If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable
not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the
cable near the Raymarine unit.

2.2 Installation procedure

As it is not possible to describe procedures for all possible installation scenarios,
the procedures given here describe the broad requirements for installing a Wind
Vane and ST60 Club House Wind instrument. Adapt these procedures as
appropriate, to suit your individual requirement.

CAUTION:
Where it is necessary to cut holes (e.g. for cable routing and
instrument mounting), ensure that these will not cause a hazard
by weakening critical parts of any structure.

Unpacking

Unpack your ST60 instrument and check that the items described in the
are present.

Each ST60 instrument is supplied with a standard bezel for surface mounting.
Optional mounting kits are available for flush mounting and bracket mounting
the instrument. If you have ordered the flush mounting option a low-profile bezel
and four fixing screws are also provided.

Fitting the instruments

The ST60 Club House Wind instrument can be installed using one of a number of
different mounting options:

• Surface mounting. Gives a profile of approximately 0.95 in (24 mm).

• Flush mounting. Gives a profile of approximately 0.25 in (6 mm).

• Bracket mounting.

Preface

Chapter 2: Installation 11

ST60 instruments can also be mounted behind a suitably prepared panel, so that
just the instrument dial and keys are visible.

Flush Mounting

The Flush Mounting Kit uses a low-profile bezel to reduce the fitted profile of the
instrument, to approximately 0.25 in (6 mm) above the panel fascia.

Fitting the low-profile bezel

In order to flush-mount your ST60 instrument, you must first replace the standard
bezel with the low-profile bezel as follows:

1. Hold the instrument in both hands with the display towards you.

D4537-2

2. Using both thumbs, gently press an upper corner of the instrument from the
bezel, then remove the bezel from the instrument. Retain the rubber keypad
which is released when the bezel is removed.

3. Place the instrument face upwards on a flat surface and place the rubber key­pad (7) in position around the display window (i.e. so that each key outline is
located over its associated key on the instrument).

4. Snap the low-profile bezel (8) in position over the instrument, so that the rub­ber keys are correctly located in the holes on the bezel.

CAUTION:
It is essential that only screws of the correct size are used to
secure the instrument to the bezel. Failure to observe this caution
could result in damage to both the instrument and the bezel.

5. Using the four, self-tapping screws (9) provided, secure the instrument and
bezel together. Fit the screws from the rear of the instrument and tighten
them sufficiently to secure the instrument and bezel together. DO NOT OVER­TIGHTEN.

Linearization

This procedure ensures that the sensors in the Wind Vane are correctly calibrated
to record rotation of the Wind Vane, then compensates for any small errors which
may exist in the alignment of the wind transducer. As this procedure necessitates
manual rotation of the Wind Vane, carry out this procedure, before fitting the
Wind Vane in its operational location.

To carry out the linearization and alignment procedure:

1. Referring to the

Connections to ST60 Club House Wind instrument

illustra-

tion, temporarily connect the Wind Vane to the instrument.

2. Power-up the ST60 Club House Wind instrument.

3. Manually rotate the vane for two rotations, so that each rotation takes
approximately 15 seconds. This procedure automatically linearizes the wind­vane. A successful linearization is indicated by the digital display flashing and
the buzzer sounding three beeps.

Fitting the Wind Vane

Note:

Do NOT remove the connec tor cap from the wind vane base connector, until you are

ready to fit the wind vane arm.

The wind vane base must be horizontal. If necessary, make up a suitable packing
piece to provide a horizontal mounting surface.

Packing piece, if required

D6868-2

You can fit your wind vane so the cable leaves the wind vane base either from the
rear (option A), or from underneath (option B), as in the following

4. Insert the wind vane arm into the wind vane base connector and tighten the
locking ring securely by hand.

Running transducer cable

The Wind Vane is supplied with sufficient cable already connected, to run from the
mounted position to the ST60 Club House Wind instrument. The manner in which
you run the cable will depend on the locations of the transducer and instrument.
The following guidelines are provided:

• Where cables are fed through holes, always use grommets to prevent chafing.

• Secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard.

• Although the transducer cable is fitted with spade connectors for direct con-

nection to the rear of the instrument, it may be necessary to remove these to
facilitate installation e.g. if you want incorporate a junction box in the cable
run or if the cable has to be routed through narrow apertures. Extra spade
connectors are provided, to replace any that are removed when running the
cable. When fitting spade connectors, prepare the cable as at (a) in the follow­ing illustration, then fold back the wire strands and insert into the spade con­nector as at (b). Ensure the wire strands do not extend beyond the rear of the
spade connector insulation, then crimp the connector to the wire.

Chapter 3: Calibration

3.1 Introduction

The ST60 Club House Wind instrument is set up with factory-programmed default
settings, so in order to optimize performance at a particular installation, the
procedures in this Chapter must be carried out immediately after the completion
of installation.

Where practicable, the calibration procedures are presented diagrammatically to
show the sequence of key presses and the resulting displays. Adjustment
instructions are given as applicable.

EMC conformance

Always check the installation before use to make sure that it is not affected by
radio transmissions or other external electro-magnetic influences.

In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being
affected by external electro-magnetic influences. Although this will not damage
the equipment, it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result
in faulty operation.

3.2 User calibration

The User calibration procedure enables you to align the wind transducer and
select the required wind speed units.

To calibrate your system, hold down the and
2 seconds to enter the calibration mode, then press the key to select the wind
