  • Page 7: Introduction

    Thank you for purchasing a Raymarine 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 Raymarine ST60 Steering Compass instrument. This instrument gives: • True/Magnetic Course Heading.

  • Page 8: Emc Conformance

    Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Data inputs The ST60 Steering Compass receives data either from an associated Flux Gate Compass transducer and/or from a SeaTalk instrumentation system. SeaTalk SeaTalk enables a number of compatible instruments to be interconnected and operate as a single, integrated navigational system.

    Course Over Ground (COG) can be calculated and used to provide a true course display. Calibration requirement The ST60 Steering Compass 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.

  • Page 14: Pointer

    Sea Talk autopilot operating in Auto, Vane or Track mode, the ST60 Steering Compass is forced to operate in Auto mode. In Auto mode the ST60 Steering Compass acts as a slave display to the autopilot, with the autopilot’s locked heading displayed on the ST60 Steering Compass digital display and the analogue pointer showing the autopilot course error.

  • Page 17: Operation

    Chapter 1: Operation Operation To enter locked mode (see the Locked mode operation illustration), press the lock key. The current heading is applied as the locked heading and flashes for 5 seconds, after which time the heading display shows either the locked heading or the current heading, depending on what has been set up during User calibration, as the normal display in locked mode (see Chapter 4, Calibration).

  • Page 18: Auto Mode

    Whenever the autopilot is engaged, the heading set by the autopilot is displayed on the digital display and the analogue pointer displays the autopilot’s course error. Note: In Auto mode, all ST60 Steering Compass key functions, except illumination, are disabled. 1.3 Display illumination When the instrument is first powered up, the display illumination is set to its lowest (courtesy) level, to facilitate access to the keys.

  • Page 19: Remote Control

    Man overboard/reciprocal course If the vessel is turned through 110° or more when the ST60 Steering Compass is in lock mode, the ST60 Steering Compass automatically locks to the reciprocal of the original course (180° from the original).

  • Page 21: Chapter 2: Maintenance And Fault Finding

    This will not harm the instrument and can be cleared by increasing the illumination setting to Level 3. Periodically clean your ST60 instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do NOT use chemical and/or abrasive materials to clean the instrument.

  • Page 22: Fault Finding

    All Raymarine products are subjected to comprehensive test and quality assurance programmes prior to packing and shipping. If a fault arises with the ST60 Steering Compass instrument, the following table may help to identify the probable cause and provide the most likely cure.

  • Page 23: Chapter 3: Installation

    Chapter 3: Installation Chapter 3: Installation This chapter describes how to install the ST60 Steering Compass instrument and associated Fluxgate Compass transducer. The transducer cable is connected to the rear of the instrument. For advice, or further information regarding the installation of these products, please contact the Raymarine Product Support Department or your own National Distributor.

  • Page 24: Instrument

    ST60 instruments can be fitted either above or below deck, provided the rear of the instrument is sited where it is protected from contact with water.

  • Page 25: Emc Guidelines

    To minimise the risk of operating problems: • All Raymarine 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).

  • Page 26: Suppression Ferrites

    If your Raymarine equipment is going to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be fitted to the cable close to the Raymarine unit. 3.2 Procedures As it is not possible to describe procedures for all possible installation...
