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 Depth instrument. This instrument provides accurate depth information, in either feet, meters or fathoms, on a high quality Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The instrument is constructed in a rugged weather-proofed case to provide reliable performance, even under the most demanding conditions.

Data inputs

The ST60 Depth instrument receives data either from an appropriate depth transducer and/or from a SeaTalk instrumentation system.

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 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 for the service it is providing, to all other equipment on the SeaTalk network. A slave instrument is

vi ST60 Depth Instrument Owner’s Handbook

not directly connected to a transducer but repeats information provided by other equipment in the SeaTalk network.

The ST60 Depth instrument can fulfil both master and repeater roles.

Stand alone operation

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

Remote control

When connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Depth instrument can be controlled remotely by a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit, to provide instant remote access to the various display readouts.

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 provided.

• Bracket mounting.

Depth transducers

Various optional transducer types are available to suit different situations and hull types. Refer to

Chapter 3, Installation

Chapter 1: Operation

1.1 Getting started

This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the Raymarine ST60 Depth instrument.

CAUTION: Calibration requirement The ST60 Depth instrument is calibrated to default settings when supplied. To ensure optimum performance on your boat, this product MUST be calibrated before use. Do NOT use the product until it has been calibrated using the procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration.

1.2 Normal operation

Use the flow charts in this Chapter to operate your ST60 Depth instrument. The flow charts show the sequence of key presses and displays for the various operating tasks. All key presses are momentary unless otherwise stated.

Depth measurement units

The depth measurement units can be either feet, meters or fathoms. The required units are selected during user calibration (see

Chapter 4, Calibration

Displayed information

When first switched on, your ST6 0 Depth instrument shows the current depth. The instrument memorizes the minimum and maximum depth values encountered during the period it is switched on, and these can be recalled at any time (see the

Reading depth values

The display will revert to the current depth display after 8 seconds.

You can rese t the MIN and MAX values by pressing the

The current depth display provides depth-trend indicator arrows to show whether the depth is increasing or decreasing. A rising sea-bed is shown by an up arrow and a lowering sea-bed by a down arrow.

If there is no depth signal from the transducer for more than 30 seconds, the last known depth is displayed and LAST flashes at the top of the screen. If depth information is not received from the transducer or from SeaTalk, then dashes are displayed.

Alarms

An alarm condition occurs if:

• The depth is less than the SHALLOW or SHALLOW anchor threshold.

• The depth is more than the DEEP anchor threshold.

• The DEEP threshold value is crossed, with the seabed rising or falling.

An alarm condition is indicated by an audible beep and a flashing alarm symbol on the display. The display will also show the relevant caption, either SHALLOW or DEEP , and for anchor alarms an anchor symbol.

When the instrument is operating as a master, you can check the alarm thresholds and if necessary set them up (see alarm key to select the required alarm threshold, then:

• To enable or disable the alarm, press the disabled, the associated screen shows an OFF legend.

• To change the value of the alarm threshold, press the offset and reset keys together to enter adjust mode, then use these keys individually to set the required value.

Offsets

Depths are measured from the transducer to the sea bed. However, offsets to the actual distances measured can be applied during calibration (see

Calibration

from the keel or the depth from the waterline (W/L).

To see the offsets applied on your vessel, press the offset key. If the instrument is operating as a master, the display will show the size of the offset (either positive or negative) and the appropriate legend:

• When the offset is a positive value, the legend W/L is displayed.

• When the offset is a negative value, the legend KEEL is displayed.

• When the offset is zero, the legend OFFSET is displayed. With zero offset

1.3 Display settings

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 illumination:

1. Hold down the nation-adjust mode.

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

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

Note:

The display will time out to normal operation 7 seconds after the last key press.
