Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Raymarine product. 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 Tridata instrument. This instrument provides accurate depth, speed, trip and timer information, 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.
D4324-1 |
Data inputs
The ST60 Tridata instrument can fulfil master and/or repeater 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 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.
viii |
ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Manual |
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 not directly connected to a transducer but repeats information provided by other equipment in the SeaTalk network.
Stand alone operation
In Stand alone operation, the ST60 Tridata 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 Tridata 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 lowprofile bezel and four fixing screws are also provided.
•Bracket mounting.
ix

Chapter 1: Operation
1.1 Getting started
This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the
Raymarine ST60 Tridata instrument.
CAUTION:Calibration requirement
The ST60 Tridata instrument is calibrated to factory (default) settings when first installed and must therefore be calibrated before use, in accordance with the procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration, to ensure optimum performance on your vessel.
Do NOT use the instrument until the calibration procedures have been satisfactorily completed.
Displayed information
The ST60 Tridata instrument screen is divided into three separate areas, each of which displays a separate type of information, as shown in the following illustration.
Depth
Speed
Trip, log, water temperature & timer 
Screen layout |
D4424-2 |
1.2 Normal operation
Use the flow charts in this Chapter to operate your ST60 Tridata instrument. Flow charts are provided for:
•Using the depth key. This gives access to current depth information. On master instruments, this also gives access to depth alarm threshold information, and allows you to set the alarm thresholds.
•Using the speed key. This gives access to maximum speed, average speed and Velocity Made Good (VMG) to windward.
2 |
ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Manual |
•Using the trip key to gain access to log, trip, water temperature and timer information.
All key presses are momentary unless otherwise stated.
Depth
Use the depth key to select the required information, as shown in the Using the depth key illustration. The depth measurement units are either feet or metres, as selected during user calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration).

If for any reason depth information is lost, the DEPTH title will flash once per second and the displayed depth value will be the last good reading.
Depth alarm threshold displays
The alarm threshold displays are available if the instrument is operating as a master. Each display is identified by the presence of an alarm symbol (
)and either an up arrow for a shallow alarm or a down arrow for a deep alarm. The shallow and deep anchor alarms are identified by means of an additional anchor icon.
You can enable and disable individual alarm thresholds by pressing the reset key for 2 seconds, while the relevant alarm threshold is displayed.
Each alarm threshold is displayed for a nominal 7 seconds, and if no action is taken during that time, the display will timeout to the current depth display.
Adjusting alarm thresholds
To adjust the alarm threshold levels, press the trip and reset keys simultaneously to enter adjust mode, then use either the trip key (to decrease) or the reset key (to increase) the threshold value. When you have set the required value, press the trip and reset keys again, to save the alarm setting and exit the adjust mode.
Note: Adjustment of the shallow alarm threshold can be disabled during calibration. When adjustment is disabled, you cannot enter adjust mode.
Speed
Use the speed key to select the required information, as shown in the Using the speed key illustration. The speed measurement units are either knots (KTS), miles per hour (MPH) or kilometres per hour (KMH), as selected during user calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration).
The maximum speed, average speed and VMG to windward are each displayed for a nominal 7 seconds, and if no action is taken during that time, the display will timeout to the Boat speed display.
