1.1 Getting started
This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the
Raytheon ST60 Tridata instrument.
Calibration requirement
The ST60 Tridata instrument is calibrated to factory (default) settings
when first installed and must therefore be calibrated before use, in
accordance with the procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration, to ensure
optimum performance on your vessel.
Do NOT use the instrument until the calibration procedures have
been satisfactorily completed.
