Introduction Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Raytheon product. We are sure your ST60 instrument will give you many years of trouble-free operation. This handbook describes how to install and use the Raytheon ST60 Tridata instrument. This instrument provides accurate depth, speed, trip and timer information, on a high quality Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Handbook Data inputs The ST60 Tridata instrument can fulfil master and/or repeater roles by receiving data either from the appropriate transducers and/or from a SeaTalk instrumentation system. SeaTalk SeaTalk enables a number of compatible instruments to operate as a single, integrated navigational system.
Introduction 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.
Spare spade terminals are also provided, to re-terminate transducer cables if they have to be cut to facilitate installation. Note: The above packing list is for an ST60 Tridata system. Where an instrument is purchased separately, Speed and Depth transducers are...

Screen layout D4424-1 1.2 Normal operation Use the flow charts in this Chapter to operate your ST60 Tridata instrument. Flow charts are provided for: • Using the depth key. This gives access to current depth information. On master instruments, this also gives access to depth alarm threshold information, and allows you to set the alarm thresholds.
ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Handbook • Using the speed key. This gives access to maximum speed, average speed and Velocity Made Good (VMG) to windward. • Using the trip key to gain access to log, trip, water temperature and timer information.
Chapter 1: Operation If for any reason depth information is lost, the DEPTH title will flash once per second and the displayed depth value will be the last good reading. Depth alarm threshold displays The alarm threshold displays are available if the instrument is operating as a master.

The maximum speed value is reset automatically at power-up. If the instrument is operating as a master, the maximum speed can also be reset manually by pressing the reset key for 2 seconds.

ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Handbook Water temperature The water temperature is shown in either degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F), as set during calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration). Timers Three timers are available: • Count-up timer. • 5-minute race start.
Chapter 1: Operation 1.3 Alarms An alarm condition occurs if: • The depth is less than the SHALLOW or SHALLOW anchor threshold. • The depth is greater than the DEEP anchor threshold. • The depth crosses the DEEP threshold. An alarm condition is indicated by an alarm buzzer and a flashing alarm symbol (bell icon) on the display.
1.5 Remote control When it is connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Tridata instrument can be controlled remotely with a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit. Remote control of an instrument is indicated by a REMOTE legend on the display, to indicate that the keypad has control.
This will not harm the instrument and can be cleared by increasing the illumination to the brightest setting. Periodically clean your ST60 instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do NOT use chemical and abrasive materials to clean the instrument.
Changes in the electronic environment may adversely affect the operation of your ST60 equipment. Typical examples of such changes are: • Electrical equipment has recently been installed or moved aboard your vessel. • You are in the vicinity of another vessel or shore station emitting radio signals.

If you are unable to rectify a problem, contact the Raytheon Product Support Department or your own National Distributor, for assistance.
Chapter 3: Installation Chapter 3: Installation This chapter describes how to install the ST60 Tridata instrument, and associated speed and depth transducers. The transducers are fitted in the hull of the vessel and connected to the rear of the instrument. The actual type of transducers depends on the type of hull in which they are to be installed.
Page 26
Other transducer types are also available for specific requirements. For further details, contact your local Raytheon dealer. For accurate speed and depth readings the transducers should be sited within the clear water flow areas indicated by the shaded areas in the following diagram.
To minimise the risk of operating problems: • All Raytheon equipment and cables connected to it should be: • At least 1 m (3 feet) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals, e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2 m (7 ft).
If your Raytheon equipment is going to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raytheon, a suppression ferrite MUST always be fitted to the cable close to the Raytheon unit. 3.2 Procedures As it is not possible to describe procedures for all possible installation...
Fitting the instrument The ST60 Tridata instrument can be installed using one of a number of different mounting options: • Surface mounting. Gives a profile of approximately 24 mm.
Fitting the low-profile bezel Fitting the low-profile bezel In order to flush-mount your ST60 instrument, you must first replace the standard bezel with the low-profile bezel as follows: 1. Hold the instrument in both hands with the display towards you.
Flush mounting procedure Flush mounting procedure Flush mounting procedure Flush mounting procedure Flush mounting procedure Flush mount your instrument ( see the Flush mounting illustration) as follows: 1. Assemble the ST60 instrument and low-profile bezel as described under Fitting the low-profile bezel.

Chapter 3: Installation 2. Ensure that: • The panel on which you intend to mount the instrument is between 3 mm and 20 mm thickness. • The selected location is clean, smooth and flat. • There is sufficient space behind the location to accommodate the rear of the instrument and connectors.

Chapter 4: Calibration Chapter 4: Calibration 4.1 Introduction The ST60 Tridata instrument is set up with factory-programmed default settings, so in order to optimise the performance of the instrument on board a particular vessel, the procedures in this Chapter must be carried out immediately after the completion of installation and before the equipment is used for navigational purposes.
• Set timer alarm buzzer on or off. Separate routines are provided for the User calibration of the depth and speed functions. To carry out either of these routines: 1. Power up the ST60 Tridata instrument. To start User calibration hold down...

ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Handbook Note: It is recommended that the speed calibration procedure is carried out in conditions of minimum tidal drift. To carry out a speed calibration, start the Intermediate calibration procedure and use the speed key to proceed to the Calibration run length screen (see sheet 1 of the Speed calibration flow chart).
