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
Page 10
viiiST60 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.

EMC Installation Guidelines
All Raymarineequipment and accessories are designed to the best
industry standards for usein the recreational marineenvironment.
Their design and manufacture conforms tothe appropriate
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards,but correctinstallation
is required to ensure that performanceis not compromised. Although
every effort has been taken toensure that they will perform under all
conditions, it isimportant tounderstand what factors couldaffect the
operation of theproduct.
The guidelines given here describe theconditions foroptimum EMC
performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possibleto meetall of
these conditions in allsituations. To ensure the best possible conditions
for EMC performancewithin the constraints imposed by any location,
always ensure themaximum separationpossible betweendifferent items
of electricalequipment.
diameter
90mm (3.54in)
123mm (4.85in)
D5785-1
Page 29
Chapter 3: Installation17
For optimum EMC performance, it isrecommended that wherever
possible:
•At least 3ft (1 m) fromany equipment transmitting orcables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. Inthe
case of SSB radios, the distance shouldbe increased to 7 ft(2 m).
•More than 7 ft(2 m) from thepath of aradar beam. A radarbeam
can normally be assumed tospread 20 degreesabove and below
the radiatingelement.
•The equipment is supplied from a separate batteryfrom that used for
engine start. Voltage dropsbelow 10 V in thepower supply to our
products, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to
reset. This willnot damage the equipment, butmay cause the loss of
some information andmay change the operatingmode.
•Raymarine specified cablesare used. Cutting andrejoining these
cables cancompromise EMC performance andmust be avoided
unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.
•If a suppression ferrite is attached to acable, thisferrite should notbe
removed. If theferrite needsto beremoved during installation it must
be reassembled inthe same position.
Suppression Ferrites
The following illustrationshows typical cable suppression ferritesused
with Raymarine equipment.Always use theferrites suppliedby
Raymarine.

Flush mount yourinstrument (seethe Flush mountingillustration) as
follows:
1. Assemble the ST60instrument and low-profile bezel as described
under Fitting the low-profile bezel.
2. Ensure that:
•The panel on which you intend to mountthe instrumentis
between 3 mmand 20 mm thickness.
•The selected location isclean, smooth and flat.
•There is sufficient space behind theselected locationto accommodate the rearof the instrument andconnectors.
3. Apply the flush mount template(supplied atthe rear of thishandbook) to theselected location andmark out the apertureinto which
the assembledinstrument and bezel will sit.
4. Cut out the aperture(3) for the assembled instrument andbezel and
remove the template.

Bracket mounting
A Control UnitMounting Bracket (PartNo. E25009) enables you to
mount your ST60instrument inlocations where otherforms ofmounting
are impractical. Although this provides auseful alternative method for
securingyour instrument,it is onlysuitable for use in positionswhere the
instrument will notbe exposed to water.
To bracket mount your ST60instrument, do so inaccordance with the
Control Unit Mounting Bracket Instruction Sheet.

Fitting transducer
The ST60Tridata instrument issupplied, with appropriate through-hull
Speed and Depth transducers.
Each transduceris supplied with detailed instructions for installation and
maintenance. Before attempting to install a transducer, read these
instructions and theSite requirem entsfor transducers described inthis
Chapter.
Once youare satisfied youcan meet allthe installation requirements,
install thetransducer in accordancewith the accompanying installation
instructions.
Running transducer cable
Each transducertype has a14 m (45 ft) cable fitted with spadeterminals
for connection to the ST60Tridata instrument. The mannerin whichyou
run thecable will depend onthe locations ofthe transducers and
instrument. The followingguidelines are provided:
•If the cablehas to be fed through the deck,always use aproprietary
deck gland.
•Where cables are fed throughholes, alwaysuse grommets to prevent
chafing.
•Secure long cableruns so they donot present a hazard.
•Do not route thecable throughbilges.
•Wherever possible, route the cableaway from fluorescent lights,
engines, radiotransmitting equipment, asthese may causeinterference.
•The transducer cablesare fitted with spade connectors fordirect connection to therear ofthe instrument.However,it maybe necessary to
remove these to facilitate installation, e.g. if a cablehas tobe routed
through narrow apertures.Extra spade connectors are provided,to
replace any that are removed whenrunning transducer cables. When
fitting spade connectors, prepare thecable asat (a) in the following
illustration, then foldback thewire strands and insert into the spade
connector as at(b). Ensure the wire strands do not extendbeyond the
rear ofthe spadeconnector insulation,then crimpthe connector tothe
wire.

Chapter 4: Calibration
4.1Introduction
The ST60Tridata instrumentis set up withfactory-programmed default
settings, so inorder to optimise the performanceof the instrument on
board aparticular vessel, theprocedures in this Chapter mustbe carried
out immediately afterthe completion of installation and before the
equipment is used for navigational purposes.
Where practicable, the calibrationprocedures are presented
diagrammatically to showthe sequence of keypresses and the resulting
displays. Adjustment instructions are givenas applicable.
Speed readings
One ofthe reasons for calibration is toensure thatthe speed readings
displayed at the instrumentare atrue indication of the actual speedof the
vessel.
In User calibration - Speed, you can:
•Automatically setthe displayed speedreading to bethe same asthe
Speed OverGround (SOG) (if SOGdata is available).
•Manually apply acalibration factor, toset the displayedspeed tothe
requiredvalue.
If neitherof the above methods are suitable, you cancarry out aspeed
calibration run overa measured distance, toenable the instrument to
calculate thecorrect calibration factor. Thisis described aspart of
Intermediate calibration.
EMC conformance
Always checkthe installation beforegoing to seato make sure that it is
not affected by radiotransmissions, enginestarting etc.
4.2User calibration
The Usercalibration procedures enable you to:
•Set the requiredunits for depth readings.
•Set the offset fordepth readings,i.e. determine whether depth readings arefrom the keel ofthe vessel orfrom the waterline.
Page 40
28ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Manual
•Lock the shallow alarm.
•Set the requiredunits for speedreadings.
•Set the speed resolution.
•Select the logdistance units
•Either calibrate the speed reading to Speed Over Ground (SOG) or
manually apply acalibration factor, to obtain correctspeed through
the water.
•Select temperature units.
•Calibrate for correcttemperature readings.
•Set timer alarmbuzzer on or off.
Separate routines are provided for theUser calibration of thedepth and
speed functions. To carryout either of these routines:

WARNING:
The use ofincorrect offsetvalues could result in misleading

of running aground.
Depths are measuredfrom the transducer tothe sea bed. However, you
can use thedepth offsetscreen to apply offsets to thisdistance, sothat the
displayed depth readingrepresents either the depthfrom the keel orthe

Set speed units
Select either KTS (knots), MPH (miles perhour) or KMH (kilometres per
hour), asrequired.
Set speed resolution
Select resolution ofeither 0.01 or 0.1 as required.
Set log units
Select either NM (nautical miles), SM(statute miles) or KM(kilometres),
as required.
Setting the correct speed
Set the displayed(current) speed using oneof the following methods:
•Use the Adjustto Speed Over Ground(SOG) screen toautomatically
set the currentspeed toSOG (ifavailable fromSeaTalk).Youmust be
running in slack tide conditions to successfully use this method.
•Manually apply a calibrationfactor by means of theCal factor adjust
screen, to setthe displayed speed valueto your best estimateof the
vessel’s speed.
