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

system from which

they receive autopilot and transducer data. Refer to the SeaTalk

System Reference

Manual for information on SeaTalk

connectivity.

In a SeaTalk

system, displays and keypads are connected to the SeaTalk

backbone using spur cables. Transducers are also connected, either via compatible

pods or directly, depending on transducer type.

The functionality of each ST70+ display is set up after installation but before use, to

determine whether the display functions as either an Instrument or a Pilot Controller.

Dimensions

Power supplies

In a typical ST70+ system, displays and keypads are powered by 12 V dc from

SeaTalk

. The power loading from SeaTalk

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

is not overloaded. Refer to the SeaTalk

Reference manual to ensure correct installation.

Dedicated display power supply

In addition to using power from SeaTalk

, 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

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.
