ST40 Depth Instrument Owner’s Handbook Enabling/disabling alarms You can enable or disable any alarm function (i.e. switch it on or off ) by selecting the relevant alarm screen (see Normal operation) and holding down the key for 3 seconds (toggle action).
In order to minimise these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e.
• You are in the vicinity of another vessel or shore station emitting radio signals. 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 guidelines may help to identify and...

Chapter 4: Calibration Chapter 4: Calibration 4.1 Introduction The procedures in this Chapter must be carried out before the equipment is used operationally, to optimise the performance of the instrument with the vessel. Calibration information is presented in flow chart form. The flow charts show the various calibration screens and key presses necessary to carry out calibration.
ST40 Depth Instrument Owner’s Handbook Depth offsets WARNING: The use of incorrect offset values could result in misleading depth information being displayed with a consequent risk of running aground. The depth offset screen enables you to determine the exact point on the vessel from which depths are measured.

Instrument Specification Instrument Specification Supply voltage: 10 V to 16 V dc. Current consumption (12 V supply): 30 mA typical. 70 mA with maximum backlighting. 0°C to +70°C. Operating temperature: Interfaces: SeaTalk. Overall dimensions: 126 mm x 70 mm x 38 mm (5.00 inches x 2.80 inches x 1.55 inches).
The rate at which an instrument responds to changes in depth. Values are from 1 (slow response) to 15 (fast response). SeaTalk SeaTalk is a proprietary Raymarine system which links different compatible products, to provide a single, integrated navigational system. SeaTalk can also communicate with non-SeaTalk equipment using the internationally- accepted National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol.
