    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 Rudder Angle Indicator instrument. This instrument gives a continuously updated (real time) display of your vessel’s rudder angle.

  • Page 8: Data Inputs

    SeaTalk network. Use with SeaTalk Autopilot If the ST60 Rudder Angle Indicator forms part of a system which includes a SeaTalk autopilot, the rudder reference transducer is connected to the autopilot and the Rudder Angle Indicator operates in repeater mode, i.e.

  • Page 9: Options

    A Linear Rudder Reference Transducer option is available for use with ‘bullhorn’ type outboard installations. Mounting 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.
