Important information

Safety notices

WARNING: Product installation & operation

This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance

with the Raymarine instructions provided. Failure to do so could

result in personal injury, damage to your boat and/or poor product

performance.

WARNING: Electrical safety

Make sure you have switched off the power supply before you

start installing this product.

WARNING: Navigation aid

Although we have designed this product to be accurate and

reliable, many factors can affect its performance. Therefore, it

should serve only as an aid to navigation and should never replace

commonsense and navigational judgement. Always maintain a

permanent watch so you can respond to situations as they

develop.

Your SmartPilot will add a new dimension to your boating enjoyment. However, it

is the skipper’s responsibility to ensure the safety of the boat at all times by

following these basic rules:

• Ensure that someone is present at the helm AT ALL TIMES, to take manual

control in an emergency.

• Make sure that all members of crew know how to disengage the autopilot

(see the Smart-Pilot Quick Start Guide)

• Regularly check for other boats and any obstacles to navigation – no matter

how clear the sea may appear, a dangerous situation can develop rapidly.

• Maintain an accurate record of the boat’s position by using either a naviga-

tion aid or visual bearings.

• Maintain a continuous plot of your boat’s position on a current chart. Ensure

that the locked autopilot heading will steer the boat clear of all obstacles.

Make proper allowance for tidal set – the autopilot cannot.

• Even when your autopilot is locked onto the desired track using a navigation

aid, always maintain a log and make regular positional plots. Navigation sig-

nals can produce significant errors under some circumstances and the autopi-

lot will not be able to detect these errors.

Introduction

The SeaTalk Remote Keypad enables you to remotely operate the following

instruments on a SeaTalk system:

• Standard (110 mm x 110 mm) ST60 instruments.

• Standard and MaxiView ST80 instruments.

The Remote Keypad has:

• A group of six keys, used to control standard instruments.

• A group of four keys, used to control ST80 MaxiView instruments.

Instruments can be organized in groups, up to a maximum of eight groups each of

eight instruments, to allow specified groups to be operated from different Remote

Keypads (see Chapter 4, Setup). For optimum system flexibility, you can also use

more than one Remote Keypads to operate any group of instruments. Typical

ways of using instrument groups are shown in the following illustration.

Key functions

The following illustration shows the functions assigned to each key or key

sequence.

Remote indicators

When the or key is pressed, each individual instrument in the associated

instrument group is selected in turn, on successive key presses. As each

instrument is selected, it displays a remote indication, during which time you can

control it from the Remote Keypad. The manner in which the remote indication is

displayed depends on the type of instrument:

• On ST80 instruments, the display changes to reverse video (white on black).

• On ST60 digital instruments, a REMOTE indicator is displayed.

• On ST60 analogue instruments, either one or both of the TRUE /MAG or TRUE/

APP indicators flash on and off.

After 8 seconds, the remote indicator is removed, and the ability to remotely

control the instrument is suspended, until you again press a remote key to re-

display the remote indication.

Chapter 2: Maintenance & Fault Finding

2.1 Maintenance

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry

standards for use in the leisure marine environment.

Servicing and safety

• Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised Raymarine ser-

vice engineers. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement

parts used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in

any Raymarine product.

• Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the cables/con-

nectors when power is being supplied to the equipment.

• Always report any EMC related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We

will use any such information to improve our quality standards.

Cabling

Periodically examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield.

When necessary, replace and secure damaged cables.

Assistance

For advice or further information regarding this product, please contact the

Raymarine Product Support Department or your own National Distributor.

2.2 Fault finding

All Raymarine products are subjected to a comprehensive test procedure prior to

packing and shipping. In the unlikely event that a fault does occur with your

Remote Keypad, use the following check list to help identify and rectify the

problem.

Chapter 3: Installation 3

Chapter 3: Installation

3.1 Planning your installation

Before installing your SeaTalk Remote Keypad, spend some time considering the

best position. It should be fitted in a position which gives optimum accessibility

while at the same time satisfying the EMC installation guidelines and the other

Site requirements, described below. Ensure that you have all the necessary

components, templates and tools for the job.

EMC Installation Guidelines

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry

standards for use in the recreational marine environment.

Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic

Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that

performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure

that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what

factors could affect the operation of the product.

The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance,

but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all

situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the

constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation

possible between different items of electrical equipment.

For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:

• Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:

• At least 3 ft (1 m) 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 7 ft (2 m).

• More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can nor-

mally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating

element.

• The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine

start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power supply to our products, and

starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not dam-

age the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may

change the operating mode.

81073_6.book Page 3 Thursday, March 2, 2006 2:39 PM

4 SeaTalk Remote Keypad Owner’s Handbook

• Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can

compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is

detailed in the installation manual.

• If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be

removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reas-

sembled in the same position.

Suppression Ferrites

The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with

Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.

Connections to Other Equipment

If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable

not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the

cable near the Raymarine unit.

Tools

• 5 mm drill bit

• 45 mm (1.77 in) tank cutter/hole saw

•Power drill

• Screwdrivers

Site requirements

The SeaTalk Remote Keypad must be installed:

• In a flat, smooth location.

• At least 230 mm (9 in) away from your vessel’s steering compass and 500 mm

(20 in) from radio equipment.

• So there is sufficient space behind the facia to accommodate the cables, fixing

studs and thumb nuts.

If you intend siting the keypad next to an instrument or another keypad, make

sure that they are separated by at least 3 mm to enable sun covers to be fitted,

when required.

chapter for a list of options.

3.3 Check before going to sea

EMC conformance

• Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not

affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.

• In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from

being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the

equipment but can lead to it resetting, or momentarily may result in faulty

operation.
