Preface
Warnings and cautions
CAUTION: Replaceable parts
This product does not contain any user serviceable parts. Please refer all
repair requirements to an authorized Raymarine dealer. Unauthorized
repairs may affect your warranty.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) conformance
Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) regulations for use in the recreational marine environment.
Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised.
Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not affected by
radio transmissions, engine starting or other forms of interference.
To do this:
1. Turn on all transmitting equipment (radar, VHF radio, etc).
2. Check that all electronic systems are unaffected by interference from the transmit-
ting equipment.
WARNING: Product installation & operation
This equipment must be installed, commissioned 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: Switch off power supply
Ensure the boat’s power supply is switched OFF before starting to
install this product. Do NOT connect or disconnect equipment with the
power switched on, unless instructed in this document.
WARNING: Ensure safe navigation
This product is intended only as an aid to navigation and must never be
used in preference to sound navigational judgment. Only official
government charts and notices to mariners contain all the current
information needed for safe navigation, and the captain is responsible
for their prudent use. It is the user’s responsibility to use official
government charts, notices to mariners, caution and proper
navigational skill when operating this or any other Raymarine product.
WARNING: Potential ignition source
This product is NOT approved for use in hazardous/flammable
atmospheres. Do NOT install in a hazardous/flammable atmosphere
(such as in an engine room or near fuel tanks).

EMC installation guidelines
Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) regulations. This minimizes electromagnetic interference
between equipment, which could otherwise affect the performance of your system.
Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised.
For optimum EMC performance, we make the following recommendations:
• Place Raymarine equipment and cables at least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment that
transmits, or cables that carry, radio signals from VHF radios, cables and anten-
nas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft. (2 m).
• Place Raymarine equipment and cables more than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a
radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above
and below the radiating element.
• Use a power source separate from that used for engine-start. This is important to
prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine-start does not
have a separate battery.
• Use Raymarine-specified cables.
• Do not cut or extend cables unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.
Remember
Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above recommendations:
• Always allow the maximum separation possible between different items of electri-
cal equipment.
This will provide the best conditions for good EMC performance of the installation.
Suppression ferrites
Raymarine cables may be fitted with suppression ferrites. These are necessary for
correct EMC performance. Any ferrite removed during installation must be replaced
as soon as installation is complete.
Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine authorized dealers.
Connections to other equipment
If Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not
supplied by Raymarine, a Raymarine suppression ferrite MUST always be attached
to the cable near the Raymarine unit.
Pressure washing
Do NOT pressure wash any Raymarine product.
Subjecting any Raymarine product to high pressure washing may cause subsequent
water intrusion and failure of the product. Raymarine will not warranty product
subjected to high pressure washing.

Chapter 1: Getting started
1.1 Introduction
It is important that ST70+ products are installed correctly. For a safe and successful
installation, we recommend a certified installation.
Certified installation
Raymarine recommends certified installation by a Raymarine approved installer. A
certified installation qualifies for enhanced warranty benefits. Contact your
Raymarine dealer for further details and refer to the separate warranty card packed
with your product.
Overview
The key steps in the installation procedure are:
• Planning
• Plan your system.
• Decide where to locate the ST70+ products.
• Check parts.
• Installing
• Mount and connect the displays and keypads.
• Install the transducers.
• Fix equipment in place.
• Commission the displays before use.
Getting assistance
If you require assistance with installation, please refer to your dealer and/or visit the
Raymarine web site at www.raymarine.com.
1.2 Planning
General information
An ST70+ system comprises one or more color displays, controlled by one or more
keypads. These products are connected to the boat’s SeaTalk
ng
system from which
they receive autopilot and transducer data. Refer to the SeaTalk
ng
System Reference
Manual for information on SeaTalk
ng
connectivity.
In a SeaTalk
ng
system, displays and keypads are connected to the SeaTalk
ng
backbone using spur cables. Transducers are also connected, either via compatible
pods or directly, depending on transducer type.

Power supplies
In a typical ST70+ system, displays and keypads are powered by 12 V dc from
SeaTalk
ng
. The power loading from SeaTalk
ng
is described in terms of a Load
Equivalency Number (LEN) for each product.
Each display has a LEN value of 1 and each keypad type has a LEN value of 2.
When planning an ST70+ system, take into account the total LEN of all the products
you intend installing, to ensure SeaTalk
ng
is not overloaded. Refer to the SeaTalk
ng
Reference manual to ensure correct installation.

Dedicated display power supply
In addition to using power from SeaTalk
ng
, the ST70+ displays require an additional
dedicated 12 V power source. Each individual display must be separately connected
to the power source with the power cable supplied, and each power cable must be
connected to the power supply via a 5A fuse or equivalent protective device.
Positioning ST70+ displays & keypads
Siting requirements
CAUTION: Maintain structural safety
Where it is necessary to cut holes (e.g. for cable routing and display
mounting), ensure that these will not cause a hazard by weakening critical
parts of the vessel’s structure.
ST70+ displays and keypads can be fitted either above or below deck, provided the
rear of each product is protected from contact with water.Each product must also be
positioned where:
• It is easily read by the helmsman. Bear in mind that there are limitations in how
well the display screens can be read when not viewed straight-on, Note that the
maximum viewing angles are:
• From above: 30°
• From below: 60°
• From the each side: 55°
• It is protected against physical damage.
• It is at least 9in (230mm) from a compass.
• It is at least 20in (500mm) from radio receiving equipment.
• There is reasonable rear access for installation and servicing.
• It is within 400 mm of a SeaTalk
ng
T-piece or connector block, or another ST70+
display or keypad.
Other considerations
When planning an installation, ensure that you position the displays and keypads for
most effective control of the boat, bearing in mind that, during the subsequent
commissioning procedure:
• Each ST70+ display is set up to operate either as an Instrument or as a Pilot Con-
troller.
• The entire ST70+ system can be configured to operate in groups, with each group
comprising up to four displays all of the same type, i.e. all Instruments or all Pilot
Controllers.
• At least one keypad is allocated to each group of displays. The allocated keypad
must be of the appropriate type for the display group, i.e. either an Instrument key-
pad or Pilot Controller keypad.
WARNING: Potential ignition sources
The equipment in these instructions is NOT approved for use in
hazardous/flammable atmospheres such as an engine room.
