Failure to do so could result in personal injury, damage to your boat and/or poor product performance. WARNING: Electrical safety Make sure you have switched off the power supply before you start installing this product. WARNING: Although we have designed this product to be accurate and reliable, many factors can affect its performance. [. . . ] Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the cables/connectors when power is being applied to the equipment. When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. 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. · · · · Instrument Certain atmospheric conditions may cause condensation to form on the instrument window. This will not harm the instrument and can be cleared by increasing the illumination setting to Level 3. Do NOT use chemical and abrasive materials to clean the instrument. Transducers Refer to the Installation and Maintenance instructions supplied with the transducers. 10 ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner's Manual 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 Changes in the electronic environment may adversely affect the operation of your ST60 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. If you appear to have a problem, first ensure that the EMC requirements (see Chapter 3, Installation) are still being met before further investigating the problem. Fixing faults All Raymarine products are subjected to comprehensive test and quality assurance programmes prior to packing and shipping. However, if a fault occurs, the following table may help to identify and rectify the problem. Fault Cause Remedy Check power supply. Check cabling and security of transducer connections. Instrument display blank. No power supply. No speed or temperature information. No speed information. Speed transducer cabling problem. Clean paddle wheel. Speed transducer paddle wheel fouled See CAUTION below. No exchange of information between SeaTalk instruments SeaTalk cabling problem. Check the security of SeaTalk connectors. Disconnect instruments one by one, to isolate faulty unit Chapter 2: Maintenance and Faultfinding 11 Fault Failure of group of instruments in SeaTalk chain. Cause SeaTalk cabling or connector problem. Remedy Check the security of SeaTalk connections between functioning and non-functioning instruments. LAST flashes or dashes Depth transducer or Check depth transducer cable and displayed continuously connection problem. LAST flashes while under way. Aerated water Boat wake Prop wash etc Ensure readings stabilise when clear of disturbed water. CAUTION: If you need to remove the Speed transducer insert, have the transducer bung to hand and secure it in the transducer body immediately after the insert has been removed, to prevent excessive ingress of water.

The Software issue number can be ascertained by means of the Intermediate Calibration facility, see Chapter 4, Calibration. Chapter 3: Installation 13 Chapter 3: Installation This chapter describes how to install the ST60 Tridata instrument, and associated Speed and Depth transducers. The transducers are fitted in the hull of the vessel and connected to the rear of the instrument. The actual type of transducers depends on the type of hull in which they are to be installed. For advice, or further information regarding the installation of this equipment, please contact the Raymarine Product Support Department or your own National Distributor. 3. 1 Planning your installation Before starting the installation, spend some time considering the best positions for both transducer and instrument, such that the Site Requirements and the EMC Guidelines (below) are satisfied.

[. . . ] Set the length of the intended calibration run, using either the trip key to decrement or the reset key to increment the run length value. The text at the bottom of the screen alternates between Strt 1 and the calibration factor (CF) currently applied. Start first outward leg of the calibration run and as you pass the start point, press the speed key, so that the text out shows at the bottom of the screen. At the end of the measured distance on the outward leg, press the speed key again so that: · The text rEtrn is flashing at the bottom of the screen. [. . . ]
