Preface

Warnings and cautions

WARNING: Product installation and operation
This equipment must be installed, commissioned and operated in
accordance with the Raymarine instructions provided. Failure to

do so could result in personal injury , damage to your boat and/or
poor product performance. Before you install the ST70
instrument, check that individual components are the correct
voltage for your boa t’s supply .

WARNING: Electrical safety
Make sure you hav e switched off the power supply before you start

installing this product.
WARNING: Navigational safety

Although we have designed this product to be accurate and
reliable, many factors can affect its performance. Therefore, it
should serve only as an aid to navigation and should never replace
commonsense and navigational judgement. A lways maintain a
permanent watch so you can respond to situations as they
develop.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) conformance

Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) regulations for use in the recreational marine environment.
Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised.

Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not affected by
radio transmissions, engine starting or other forms of interference.

To do this:

1. Turn on all transmitting equipment (radar, VHF radio, etc).

2. Check that all electronic systems are unaffected by interference from the transmit­ting equipment.

EMC installation guidelines

Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) regulations. This minimizes electromagnetic interference
between equipment, which could otherwise affect the performance of your system.

Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised.
For optimum EMC performance, we make the following recommendations:

• Place Raymarine equipment and cables at least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment that
transmits, or cables that carry, radio signals from VHF radios, cables and anten­nas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft. (2 m).

• Place Raymarine equipment and cables 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.

• Use a power source separate from that used for engine-start. This is important to
prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine-start does not
have a separate battery .

• Use Raymarine-specified cables.

• Do not cut or extend cables unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.

Remember

Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above recommendations:

• Always allow the maximum separation possible between different items of electri­cal equipment.

This will provide the best conditions for good EMC performance of the installation.

Suppression ferrites

Raymarine cables may be fitted with suppression ferrites. These are necessary for
correct EMC performance. Any ferrite removed during installation must be replaced
as soon as installation is complete.

Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine authorized dealers.

Connections to other equipment

If Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not
supplied by Raymarine, a Raymarine suppression ferrite MUST always be attached
to the cable near the Raymarine unit.

vi

EMC Servicing and maintenance

• Undue noise and interference may be a symptom of an EMC-related problem.
Please report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We
use such information to improve our quality standards.

• T o minimize any EMC related problems and ensure the best possible perfor­mance form your Raymarine equipment, follow the guidelines given in the instal­lation instructions.

Product documents

The following user documents are available to help you install and operate an ST70
instrument controller:

• ST70 Instrument Installation Guide (this document).

• ST70 Instrument Operating Guide.This is a detailed manual supplied with your
ST70 instrument. It contains important commissioning instructions.

inaccuracies or omissions in product documents.

In addition, our policy of continuous product improvement may change specifications
without notice. Therefore, Raymarine cannot accept liability for any differences
between the product and the accompanying documents.

Product disposal

Waste Electrical and Electronic (WEEE) Directive

The WEEE Directive requires the recycling of waste electrical and electronic
equipment.

Whilst the WEEE Directive does not apply to some of Raymarine's products,

we support its policy and ask you to be aware of how to dispose of this product.

to:

• Ensure you have all the correct equipment.

• Identify the install location and appropriate network connection point.

WARNING: Electrical safety

3.1 Install the instrument

Before you make any electrical connections, ensure the power
supply is switched off and you have read the EMC installation
guidelines (see

before you begin installation.

Once you are certain it is safe to proceed, follow the installation procedure below.

1. Fit cable to system connection point and route to ST70 instrument location

For SeaTalk

CAUTION: Using the wrong type of pod could cause damage to y our
equipment. Before you connect a transducer to a pod, ensure that you are
using the correct type of pod (speed pod for a speed transducer or depth
pod for a depth transducer , for example).

• Fit the appropriate transducer directly to its corresponding instrument as shown.
Pod connectors are color-coded. Ensure that each wire is connected to its
corresponding connector.
