The ST30 Depth instrument may be installed above or below deck where it
is:
• easily readable by the helmsman (normally viewed at eye level)
• protected from physical damage
• at least 230mm (9in) from a compass
• at least 500mm (20in) from radio receiving equipment
• accessible from behind for ease of installation and cable running
Note: To prevent the build-up of moisture the instrument breathes through
the back cover. The instrument must, therefore, be mounted where the
back cover is protected from direct water.
The case is fitted with a foam gasket to form a water tight seal between
the instrument and the installation face.
