Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Raymarine prod uct. 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 Club House Wind instrument, which is intended for use ashore (e.g. in clubhouses or homes) to show local wind conditions. The instrument is constructed in a rugged weather proofed case and uses a sensitive and stable, combined analog and digital display, to display the wind information.

The ST60 Club House Wind instrument is not suitable for use on boats.

The ST60 Club House Wind instrument gives:

• Wind speed.

• Wind Angle.

• Maximum wind speed.

The ST60 Club House Wind instrument also gives high and low wind speed alarm indications.

Mounting options

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.

Chapter 1: Operation & Maintenance

1.1 Getting started

This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the Raymarine ST60 Club House Wind instrument. This instrument shows the wind speed and direction.

CAUTION: Calibration requirement The ST60 Club House Wind instrument is calibrated to factory (default) settings when first supplied. To ensure optimum performance, this product must be calibrated before use. Do NOT use the product until it has been calibrated using the procedures in

Chapter 3, Calibration

Calibration requirements

Your ST60 instrument is calibrated to factory (default) settings when first installed and must therefore be calibrated before use, in accordance with th e procedures in

Chapter 3, Calibration

1.2 Normal operation

The information on the ST60 Club House Wind instrument is presented by a pointer and a digital display.

Pointer

The pointer shows the wind direction.

Digital display

The digital display normally shows the wind speed in either knots or meters per second. You can use the key to select other information (see the

Wind speed alarms

An alarm condition occurs when the wind speed either exceeds the maximum wind speed alarm threshold or falls below the minimum wind speed alarm threshold. An alarm condition is indicated by a flashing alarm icon on the digital display and an audible alarm at the instrument.

Pressing any key will cancel an alarm.

Chapter 1: Operation & Maintenance 3

Switching alarms on and off

Use the key to select either the maximum or minimum wind speed alarm screen as required, then press the the alarm either on (i.e. so the alarm threshold value is displayed) or OFF, as required.

Setting alarm thresholds

To set a wind speed alarm threshold:

1. Use the key to select either the maximum or minimum wind speed alarm screen, as required.

2. Momentarily press both the (indicated by the displayed value flashing).

3. Press either the

4. Momentarily press both the (indicated by the displayed value flashing).

Display illumination

When the instrument is first powered up, the display illumination is set to its lowest (courtesy) level, to facilitate initial access to the keys.

To adjust the level of display illumination:

1. Hold down the key for approximately one second, to enter the illumination-adjust mode.

2. There are four preset illumination levels. Momentarily press the key to cycle through these levels until you reach the level you want.

3. Press any other key to leave the illumination-adjust mode.

Note:

The digital display will return to normal operation 7 seconds after the last key press.

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.

) are still being met before
