ST40 Speed Instrument Owner's Handbook Document number: 81157_2 Date: 1st May 2001 Copyright © Raymarine Limited 2001 Preface i Important information WARNING Although your ST40 instrument is designed to give accurate and reliable performance, it should serve only as an aid to navigation and should never lead to the erosion of good seamanship. Always maintain a permanent watch and be aware of situations as they develop. EMC conformance All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment. The design and manufacture of Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Handbook information To the best of our knowledge, the information in this handbook was correct when it went to press. [. . . ] 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. · Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. · 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. · Always switch off the power to Raymarine equipment before working on it. When requesting service, please quote equipment Type, Model Number, Serial Number and, if possible, Software Release Issue. The Software Release Issue can be ascertained by means of the Intermediate Calibration facility, see Chapter 4, Calibration. 6 ST40 Speed Instrument Owner's Handbook Instrument Certain atmospheric conditions may cause a small amount of condensation to form on the instrument window. This will not harm the instrument and will clear after the instrument has been switched on for a short period. Do NOT use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the instrument. Transducer Refer to the Installation and Maintenance instructions supplied with the transducer. Cabling Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield and, where necessary, replace and re-secure. 2. 2 Fault finding Preliminary procedures If you appear to have a problem, first check the security of the connections at the rear of the instrument and reconnect any that are loose. Changes in the electronic environment may adversely affect the operation of your ST40 equipment. Typical examples of such changes are: · Electrical equipment has recently been installed or moved aboard your vessel. · You are in the vicinity of another vessel or shore station emitting radio signals. Fixing faults All Raymarine products are subjected to comprehensive test and quality assurance programmes prior to packing and shipping. 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 recognised 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. For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible: · All Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are: · At least 1 m (3 feet) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e. g. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2 m (7 ft). A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. 10 ST40 Speed Instrument Owner's Handbook · The equipment is supplied from a different 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. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so 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. [. . . ] SeaTalk is a proprietary Raymarine system which links different compatible products, to provide a single, integrated navigational system. SeaTalk can also communicate with non-SeaTalk equipment using the internationally- accepted National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol. Contact your Raymarine dealer for details.
