Connecting the instrument

Types of connection

The ST60+ Tridata instrument, can be connected:
• As a stand-alone, master instrument connected directly to a Speed and/or
Depth transducer.
• As a SeaTalk repeater.
• To fulfil both repeater and master roles by being connected both to the trans-
ducer and to SeaTalk.
If instruments are connected to SeaTalk, no separate power connection is
necessary. 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.

Fitting ferrites

If you are going to connect a Depth transducer to an ST60+ Tridata instrument, fit
suppression ferrites near the instrument end of the SeaTalk and Depth transducer
cables, as follows.
1. Release the catch on the ferrite, open it up then snap it closed around the
cable.
2. Position the ferrite as close as possible to the instrument end of the cable
(maximum 1 foot (300 mm) from the end) and fit a tie-wrap on the cable
either side of the ferrite, to hold it in position.
It is NOT necessary to fit a ferrite to the Speed transducer cable.
