Introduction

Thank youfor purchasing a Raymarine product.We are sure yourST60 instrument will giveyou many years oftrouble-free operation.

This handbook describeshow to install anduse the Raymarine ST60 Tridata instrument. Thisinstrument provides accuratedepth, speed, trip and timer information, on ahigh quality Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The instrument is constructed in arugged weather-proofedcase to provide reliable performance,even under the most demanding conditions.

Data inputs

The ST60Tridata instrument can fulfil master and/orrepeater roles by receiving data either from the appropriate transducers and/or from a SeaTalk instrumentation system.

SeaTalk

SeaTalk enables a number of compatible instruments to operate asa single, integrated navigationalsystem. Instrumentsin a SeaTalk system are linkedby means ofa single cable, which feeds both power and data. Instruments can thereforebe added to thesystem by plugging them into the network.SeaTalk isflexible enough to adaptto any numberof compatible instrumentswithout requiring acentral processor. SeaTalk can alsocommunicate viaan interface, withnon-SeaTalk equipment using theinternationally-accepted NationalMarine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol.

D4324-1

viii ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Manual

In a SeaTalk system,each instrument can be either a master ordedicated repeater unit.A master instrumentis directly connectedto a transducer (the device thatprovides the raw data),and provides data andcontrol for the service itis providing,to allother equipment on the SeaTalk network. A slave instrument is not directly connected to atransducer but repeats information provided byother equipment in the SeaTalk network.

Stand alone operation

In Stand alone operation,the ST60 Tridatainstrument is connected only to the relevant transducer and doesnot display information from, or provide information to, anyother instruments.

Remote control

When connectedto SeaTalk,the ST60 Tridata instrument canbe controlled remotelyby a SeaTalkRemote Keypad Unit,to provide instant remoteaccess to the variousdisplay readouts.

Mounting options

If you donot want to surface mount your ST60 instrument, optionsare available for:

• Flushmounting. If you have orderedthe flushmounting option alowprofile bezel and four fixing screwsare also provided.

• Bracket mounting.

Parts supplied

Unpack your ST60instrument and check thatthe following items are present:

• Item 1, ST60 Tridata instrument fitted with standard bezel for surface mounting.

• Item2, Fixingstuds (2).

• Item 3, Thumb nuts(2).

•Item4,Gasket.

• Item 5, Depth transducer.

• Item 6, Speed transducer,plus bung (not illustrated).

• Item 7, SeaTalk interconnectioncable.

• Item 8, Power cable.

• Item 9, Instrument Cover.

• Item 10, Owner’sHandbook. A Warranty documentand fitting templates are includedin this Handbook.

•Item11,CueCard.

Spare spadeterminals are alsoprovided, to re-terminate thetransducer cable ifit hasto be cut to facilitate installation.

Note:The above packing list is for an ST60 Tridata system. Where an instrument is purchased separately, Speed and D epth transducers are not included.

Chapter 1: Operation

1.1 Getting started

This handbook describeshow to operate, maintainand install the Raymarine ST60 Tridata instrument.

CAUTION:Calibration requirement

The ST60Tridata instrument is calibrated to factory (default) settings when firstinstalled and must therefore be calibrated before use, inaccordance withthe procedures inChapter 4,Calibration,to ensure optimum performance on your vessel.

Do NOT use theinstrument until the calibrationprocedures have been satisfactorily completed.

Displayed information

The ST60Tridata instrumentscreen is divided into three separate areas, each of which displaysa separate type ofinformation,as shownin the following illustration.

If forany reason depth information is lost, the DEPTH title will flash once per secondand the displayed depth valuewill be the lastgood reading.

Depth alarm threshold displays

The alarmthreshold displays areavailable if the instrument is operating as a master.Each displayis identifiedby thepresence ofan alarmsymbol ( )and eitheran uparrow for ashallow alarm or a down arrow for a deep alarm. The shallow anddeep anchoralarms areidentified by means of an additional anchor icon.

Water temperature

The watertemperature is shownin either degreesCelsius (°C)or Fahrenheit (°F), asset during calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration).

Timers

The count-up timer and tothe two race-start timer times areeither in seconds (S) or minutes (M), depending on thecounter values.

Refer tothe Using the trip keyflow diagram to display the required timer. Once you havedone this, press the reset key to start thetimer running. When atimer is running,the delimiter (i.e.‘.’or ‘:’) flashes.For lap timing, press the reset key. To stop andreset a timerto the startvalue, hold down the reset key for 1 second.

Once a timer is running, you can leave the timer pageand selectany other display. Thecounter will continue torun in the background.

Race-start timers

You canset each race-start timerto any whole-minutevalue from 1 to 15 minutes.

Note: Whe n the instrument is first instal led, the race-st art timers are s et to 4 and 5 minutes respectively.

To set a race-starttimer:

1. Use thetrip keyas shown inthe Using trip key flow diagramto select the requiredrace-start timer.

2. Simultaneouslypress the trip andreset keys to enter the race-start timeradjust mode.

3. Use either the tripor reset key to set the required value.

4. Simultaneouslypress the trip andreset keys to save the value and leave the race-start timer adjust mode.
