In a SeaTalk system, each instrument can be either a master or dedicated repeater
unit. A master instrument is directly connected to a transducer (the device that
provides the raw data), and provides data and control for the service it is
providing, to all other equipment on the SeaTalk network. A slave instrument is
not directly connected to a transducer but repeats information provided by other
equipment in the 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.
Remote control
When connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Tridata instrument can be controlled
remotely by a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit, to provide instant remote access to
the various display readouts.
Mounting options
If you do not want to surface mount your ST60 instrument, options are available
for:
• Flush mounting. If you have ordered the flush mounting option a low-profile
bezel and four fixing screws are also provided.
• Bracket mounting.
