[. . . ] 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. Transducer Refer to the Installation & Maintenance instructions supplied with the transducer. 8 ST60+ Speed Instrument Owner's Handbook Cabling Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield, and where necessary, replace and re-secure. 2. 2 Troubleshooting 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 are still being met before further investigating the problem. Fixing faults CAUTION: Prevention of flooding If you need to remove the 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. 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 Display blank. Remedy Check power supply & ensure the instrument is switched on (see Chapter 1, Operation). Check SeaTalk cabling and connector security. Check the security of SeaTalk connectors between functioning and non-functioning instruments. SeaTalk cable or connector fault. Chapter 2: Maintenance & Troubleshooting Fault No speed or temperature information. Cause Remedy 9 Transducer cable or Check the condition of the transducer connector fault. See CAUTION above.

During normal operation, hold down the speed and trip buttons for approximately 4 seconds, to display the VERSION screen. Software version D8246-1 2. Note the software version number, then hold down the speed and trip buttons for approximately 2 seconds, to return to normal operation. 11 Chapter 3: Installation This chapter describes how to install the ST60+ Speed instrument, and associated speed transducer. The transducer is fitted in the hull of the vessel and signals from it are connected by cable, to the rear of the instrument. The actual type of transducer depends on the type of hull in which it is 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 installation guidelines (below) are satisfied. Site requirements Transducer 2. 94 in (75 mm ) diameter 2. 0 in (51 mm) diameter 2. 94 in (75 mm) diameter Plastic through hull speed transducer dimensions 0. 19 in (5 mm) 4. 69 in (119 mm) D8661-1 The transducer types required for the various hull types are as follows: 12 ST60+ Speed Instrument Owner's Handbook Hull material Glass reinforced plastic (GRP) Steel Aluminium Wood Transducer type E26031 Through hull plastic E26031 Through hull plastic E26031 Through hull plastic M78716 Through hull bronze Other transducer types are also available for specific requirements. For accurate speed readings the transducer should be sited within the clear water flow areas indicated by the shaded areas in the following diagram. Sailing vessel Planing power vessel Displacement power vessel Transducer siting D4349-1 The transducer should also: · Be ahead of the propellers (by a minimum of 10% of the water line length). · Be at least 6 in (150 mm) away from the keel (ideally ahead of the keel if a sailing yacht). [. . . ] Press timer and reset buttons together to commence the speed calibration. The text at the top of the screen alternates between START 1 and the calibration factor currently applied. Start the outward leg of the calibration run and as you pass the start point, press the trip button, so the screen shows OUTWARD at the top. As the calibration run proceeds, the displayed value will increment.
