Chapter 1: Operation

1.1 Getting started

This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the
Raymarine ST60 Wind instrument and ST60 Close Hauled Wind
instrument. These instruments show:
• Wind speeds and directions
• Velocity Made Good (VMG) information, when boat-speed
• Tack angle, when heading information is available,

Calibration requirements

Your ST60 instrument is calibrated to factory (default) settings when
first installed and must therefore be calibrated before use, in
accordance with the procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration, to ensure
optimum performance on your vessel.
Do NOT use the instrument until the calibration procedures have
been satisfactorily completed.
If the CAL legend on the digital display flashes for the first 30 seconds
after any power up, use the appropriate procedures in Chapter 4,
Calibration to:
1. Apply the factory defaults.
2. Carry out the linearisation procedure.
