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.
D4321_2
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
Page 8
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.

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.

Chapter 2: Maintenance & Troubleshooting
2.1 Maintenance
Servicing and safety
• Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised Raymarine service technicians. They will ensure that servicing procedures and replacement
parts used will not affect performance. There are no user-serviceable parts in
any Raymarine product.
• Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the cables/connectors when power is being applied to the equipment.
• 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 minimise
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
Refer to the Installation and Maintenance instructions supplied with the
transducer.
Page 18
8 ST60 Depth Instrument Owner’s Handbook
Cabling
Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield and, where
necessary, replace and re-secure.
2.2 Troubleshooting
Preliminary procedures
Changes in the electronic environment may adversely affect the operation of your
ST60 equipment. Typical examples of such changes are:
• Electrical equipment has rec ently been installed or moved aboard your vessel.
• You are in the vicinity of another vessel or shore station emitting radio signals.
If you appear to have a problem, first ensure that the EMC requirements are still
being met before further investigating the problem.
Fixing faults
All Raymarine products are subjected to comprehensive test and quality
assurance programmes prior to packing and shipping. However, if a fault occurs,
the following table may help to identify and rectify the problem.

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 describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance,
but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all
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.
Page 25
Chapter 3: Installation 15
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 normally 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.
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.

3.2 Procedures
As it is not possible to describe procedures for all possible installation scenarios,
the procedures given here describe the broad requirements for installing depth
transducers and the ST60 Depth 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 the vessel’s structure.
Unpacking
Unpack your ST60 equipment 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 instrument
The ST60 Depth 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.
The ST60 instruments can also be mounted behind a panel with just the
instrument dial and keys visible.
Preface

selected location and mark out the aperture into which the assembled instrument and bezel will sit.
4. Cut out the aperture (3) for the assembled instrument and bezel and remove
the template.
5. Peel off the protective sheet from the self-adhesive gasket (4) then stick the
gasket into position on the rear of the bezel.
6. Screw the two fixing studs (1) into the threaded sockets on the rear of the
instrument.
7. Mount the assembled instrument, studs, bezel and gasket into the panel.
8. Locate the flush mount bracket (6) onto the fixing studs and secure the assembly to the panel with the thumb-nuts (5).
Bracket mounting
A Control Unit Mounting Bracket (Part No. E25009) enables you to mount your
ST60 instrument in locations where other forms of mounting are impractical.
Although this provides a useful alternative method for securing your instrument,
it is only suitable for use in positions where the instrument will not be exposed to
water.
To bracket mount your ST60 instrument, do so in accordance with the Control Unit
Mounting Bracket Instruction Sheet.
Fitting transducer
The ST60 Depth instrument is supplied, with a through-hull depth transducer.
The depth transducer is supplied with detailed instructions for installation and
maintenance. Before attempting to install the depth transducer, read these
instructions and the
Once you are satisfied you can meet all the installation requirements, install the
transducer in accordance with the accompanying installation instructions.
Running transducer cable
Each transducer type has a 14 m (45 ft) cable fitted with spade terminals for
connection to the ST60 Depth instrument. The manner in which you run the cable
will depend on the locations of the transducer and instrument.
Observing the following guidelines, run the transducer cable to the ST60 Depth
instrument:
• If the cable has to be fed through the deck, always use a proprietary deck
gland.
Site requirements
for transducers described in this Chapter.
Page 31
Chapter 3: Installation 21
• Where cables are fed through holes, always use grommets to prevent chafing.
• Secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard.
• Do not route the cable through bilges.
• Wherever possible, route the cable away from fluorescent lights, engines,
radio transmitting equipment, as these may cause interference.
• Although the transducer cable is fitted with spade connectors for direct connection to the rear of the instrument, it may be necessary to remove these to
facilitate installation, e.g. 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.

Fitting ferrite
Fit a suppression ferrite near the instrument end of the transducer cable, as
follows.
1. Release the catch on the ferrite, open it up then snap it closed around the
cable.
2. Position the ferrite as close as possible to the instrument end of the cable
(maximum 1 foot (300 mm) from the end) and fit a tie-wrap on the cable
either side of the ferrite, to hold it in position.

Connecting the instrument
Types of connection
The ST60 Depth instrument, can be connected:
• As a stand-alone, master instrument connected directly to the depth transducer.
• As a SeaTalk repeater.
If instruments are connected to SeaTalk, no separate power connection is
necessary. Where a SeaTalk system includes an autopilot, the power for the
system is provided by the autopilot.
A range of Raymarine SeaTalk extension cables is available to connect separated
instruments. These cables are supplied with a SeaTalk connector fitted to each
end. A junction box can be used to join cables.
Signal connections
Make the necessary connections to your ST60 instrument (see the
ST60 Depth instrument
illustration).

SeaTalk systems
CAUTION:
When instruments are connected to SeaTalk, ensure that the
power supply for the SeaTalk 12 V line is protected by a 5 A fuse.
Systems with a large number of instruments on the SeaTalk bus may require
connections to the power supply from each end of the system (‘ring-main’ style),
to maintain sufficient voltage throughout the system.
This requirement depends on the total length of the cable run and the total
number of instruments in the system, as follows:

Stand alone instruments
Stand-alone instruments are not connected to SeaTalk and therefore need to be
connected to an alternative 12 V power source. Power cables are available in 2 m
and 9 m lengths.
Page 34
24 ST60 Depth Instrument Owner’s Handbook
To fit a power cable:
1. Ensure the intended power source is switched off.
2. Run the power cable from the instrument to a suitable 12 V dc power source.
3. If the cable has not already been trimmed at the power supply end:
i. Cut the cable to length and trim back an appropriate amount of the outer
sheath.
ii. Cut back and insulate the yellow wire.
4. Connect the screen to the power supply 0 V terminal.
5. Connect the red wire via a 3 A circuit breaker to the power supply +12 V terminal.
6. Insert the power cable connector into one of the SeaTalk connectors at the
rear of the instrument.

Chapter 4: Calibration
4.1 Introduction
The ST60 Depth instrument is set up with factory-programmed default settings, so
in order to optimise the performance of the instrument on board a particular
vessel, the procedures in this Chapter must be carried out immediately after the
completion of installation, and before the equipment is used for navigational
purposes.
Where practicable, the calibration procedures are presented diagrammatically to
show the sequence of key presses and the resulting displays. Adjustment
instructions are given where applicable.
Note:
The procedure for setting alarm threshold levels is given in Chapter 1, Operation.
EMC conformance
Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not
affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.
4.2 User calibration
The User calibration procedures enable you to:
• Set the required units for depth readings.
• Set the offset for depth readings, i.e. determine whether depth readings are
from the keel of the vessel or from the water line.
• Lock the shallow alarm.
• Set pop-up pilot display on or off.
Procedure
To carry out a User calibration:
1. Power up the ST60 Depth instrument.
2. Press the

Depth offset
Depths are measured from the transducer to the sea bed. However, you can use
the depth offset screen to apply offsets to this distance, so that the displayed
depth reading represents either the depth from the keel or the depth from the
water line (W/L). In order to do this, you need to know the vertical separation
between the transducer position and:
• The bottom of the keel. This requires a negative offset.
• The water line. This requires a positive offset.

Setting offset values
WARNING:
The use of incorrect offset values could result in misleading depth
information being displayed with a consequent risk of running
aground.
Use the offset (decrement) and reset (increment) keys to set the required offset
value.
If you want to display the actual depth reading from the transducer, set a value of
0.0.
If you want to apply a W/L (water line) offset or a KEEL offset, adjust the
displayed reading until the correct offset value is shown (positive for W/L ;
negative for KEEL ).
Shallow lock
When set to On, prevents inadvertent alteration to the shallow depth alarm
setting.
Note:
The procedure for setting alarm threshold levels is given in Chapter 1, Operation.
Pop-up pilot
Switches the pop-up pilot function on and off.
Leaving User calibration
Hold down the depth and alarm keys for 2 seconds to save your settings, exit
User calibration and resume normal operation.
4.3 Intermediate calibration
Intermediate calibration enables you to:
• Check the instrument software version.
• Set the instrument status - either MASTER or REPEATER . This feature is par-
ticularly useful in preventing interference when using another product (e.g. a
fishfinder) that operates at 200 kHz.
