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).
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.
Spare spade terminals are also provided, to re-terminate the transducer cable if it has to be cut to facilitate installation. Note: The above packing list is for an ST60 Tridata system. Where an instrument is purchased separately, Speed and Depth transducers are...

Trip, log, water temperature & timer Screen layout 1.2 Normal operation Use the flow charts in this Chapter to operate your ST60 Tridata instrument. Flow charts are provided for: • Using the On master instruments, this also gives access to depth alarm threshold information, and allows you to set the alarm thresholds.
It also shows a depth trend indicator, which is either an up arrow to show seabed rising or a down arrow to show seabed falling. ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Manual trip key to gain access to log, trip, water temperature and...
Chapter 1: Operation 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.
Velocity made good (to windward) Velocity made good (VMG) information is available if your instrument is part of a SeaTalk system to which a SeaTalk-compatible wind instrument is also connected. ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Manual Boat speed speed speed Average speed reset key for 2 seconds.

1.5 Remote control When it is connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Tridata instrument can be controlled remotely with a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit. Remote control of an instrument is indicated by a REMOTE legend on the display, to indicate that the keypad has control.
2.1 Maintenance Servicing and safety • Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised Rayma- rine service technicians. They will ensure that servicing procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no user-serviceable parts in any Raymarine product.
(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.
As well as providing a comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions section and servicing information, it also gives e-mail access to the Raymarine Technical Support Department and a details of the locations of Raymarine agents, worldwide. Telephone help line If you do not have access to the world wide web, please call:...
When requesting service, please quote the following product information: • Equipment type. • Model number. • Serial number. • Software issue number. The Software issue number can be ascertained by means of the Intermediate Calibration facility, see Chapter 4, Calibration. ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Manual...
Chapter 3: Installation 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.
Page 26
Wood Other transducer types are also available for specific requirements. For further details, contact your local Raymarine dealer. For accurate speed and depth readings the transducers should be sited within the clear water flow areas indicated by the shaded areas in the following diagram.
Chapter 3: Installation • Be as near as possible to the centre line of the vessel. • Be clear of other through-hull fittings or projections. • Have sufficient clearance inside the hull to fit the nut. • Have 100 mm (4 in) of headroom to allow for withdrawal. In addition to the above requirements, the depth transducer must be mounted within 10 Maximum transducer angle...
ST60 instrument dimensions EMC Installation Guidelines All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised.
Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine. Connections to Other Equipment If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit.
If you have ordered the flush mounting option a low-profile bezel and four fixing screws are also provided. Fitting the instrument The ST60 Tridata instrument can be installed using one of a number of different mounting options: •...
Chapter 3: Installation Surface mounting 2. Apply the surface mount template (supplied at the rear of this hand- book) to the selected location and mark the centres for the fixing studs (1) and the aperture (3) that will take the rear casing of the instrument. 3.

Running transducer cable Each transducer type has a 14 m (45 ft) cable fitted with spade terminals for connection to the ST60 Tridata instrument. The manner in which you run the cable will depend on the locations of the transducers and instrument.
Where a SeaTalk system includes an autopilot, the power for the system is provided by the autopilot. A range of Raymarine SeaTalk extension cables is available to connect separated instruments. These cables are supplied with a SeaTalk connector fitted to each end. A junction box can be used to join cables.
Chapter 3: Installation Cable from Depth transducer Cable from Speed transducer Connections to ST60 Tridata instrument Power supply connections SeaTalk systems CAUTION: When instruments are connected to SeaTalk, ensure that the power supply for the SeaTalk 12 V line is protected by a 5 A fuse.

The speed calibration procedure involves carrying out two runs over a measured distance, to enable a calibration factor to be determined and applied to your ST60 Tridata instrument, to ensure optimum accuracy. Each calibration run comprises outward and return legs, to minimise the affect of tidal drift when the calibration factor is determined.
