  • Page 25: Chapter 3: Installation

    Chapter 3: Installation 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 is connected to the rear of the instrument. The actual type of transducer depends on the type of hull in which it is to be installed.
  • Page 26 M78716 Through hull bronze Other transducer types are also available for specific requirements. For further details, contact your local Raymarine dealer. For accurate speed readings the transducer should be sited within the clear water flow areas indicated by the shaded areas in the following diagram.

  • Page 33 Chapter 3: Installation 2. Ensure that: • The panel on which you intend to mount the instrument is between 3 mm and 20 mm thickness. • The selected location is clean, smooth and flat. • There is sufficient space behind the selected location to accom- modate the rear of the instrument and connectors.

  • Page 34: Bracket Mounting

    To bracket mount your ST60 instrument, do so in accordance with the Control Unit Mounting Bracket Instruction Sheet. Fitting transducer The ST60 Speed instrument is supplied, with a through-hull Speed transducer.

  • Page 35: Connecting The 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.

  • Page 39: Chapter 4: Calibration

    Speed readings One of the most important reasons for calibrating the ST60 Speed instrument is to ensure that speed readings displayed on the instrument are a true reflection of the actual speed of the vessel.

    Set pop-up pilot display on or off. Procedure To carry out a User calibration: 1. Power up the ST60 Speed instrument. 2. Press the speed and trip keys for approximately 2 seconds so that the User calibration entry screen is displayed.

  • Page 41: Set Temperature Units

    Chapter 4: Calibration • Use the Adjust to SOG screen to automatically set the current speed to SOG (if available from SeaTalk). You must be running in slack tide conditions to successfully use this method. • Manually apply a calibration factor by means of the Cal factor adjust screen, to set the displayed speed value to your best estimate of the vessel’s speed.

  • Page 45: Speed Calibration

    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 Speed 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.
