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

Speed instrument. This instrument provides accurate speed, log, trip

and timer information, on a high quality Liquid Crystal Display

(LCD). The instrument is constructed in a rugged weather-proofed

case to provide reliable performance, even under the most demanding

conditions.

WARNING

Although the ST60 Speed instrument is designed to give accurate

and reliable performance, it should serve only as an aid to

navigation and should never lead to the erosion of good

seamanship. Always maintain a permanent watch and be aware of

situations as they develop.

EMC conformance

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best

industry standards for use in the leisure 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.

ST60 Speed Instrument Owner’s Handbook

Data inputs

The ST60 Speed instrument receives data either from an appropriate

speed transducer and/or from a SeaTalk instrumentation system.

SeaTalk

SeaTalk enables a number of compatible instruments to operate as a

single, integrated navigational system. Instruments in a SeaTalk

system are linked by means of a single cable, which feeds both power

and data. Instruments can therefore be added to the system by plugging

them into the network. SeaTalk is flexible enough to adapt to any

number of compatible instruments without requiring a central

processor. SeaTalk can also communicate via an interface, with non-

SeaTalk equipment using the internationally-accepted National

Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol.

In a SeaTalk system, each instrument can be either a master or

dedicated repeater unit. A master instrument is directly connected to a

transducer (the device that provides the raw data), and provides data

and control for the service it is providing, to all other equipment on the

SeaTalk network. A slave instrument is not directly connected to a

transducer but repeats information provided by other equipment in the

SeaTalk network.

The ST60 Speed instrument can fulfil both master and repeater roles.

Stand alone operation

In Stand alone operation, the ST60 Speed instrument is connected only

to the relevant transducer and does not display information from, or

provide information to, any other instruments.

Remote control

When connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Speed instrument can be

controlled remotely by a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit, to provide

instant remote access to the various display readouts.

Chapter 1: Operation

1.1 Getting started

Displayed information

Your ST60 Speed instrument provides the following:

• Speed information.

• Log, trip and water temperature information.

• Count-up and race-start timers.

Calibration requirement

The ST60 Speed 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.

Do NOT use the instrument until the calibration procedures have

been satisfactorily completed.

1.2 Normal operation

Use the flow charts in this Chapter to operate your ST60 Speed

instrument. The flow charts show the sequence of key presses and

displays for the various operating tasks. All key presses are momentary

unless otherwise stated.

Speed information

The speed key gives access to current speed, maximum speed,

average speed, velocity made good (VMG) and speed over ground

(SOG) information. Refer to the Using speed key flow diagram to

access the information you want.

Current speed

Speed measurement units can be either knots (KTS), miles per hour

(MPH) or kilometres per hour (KMH). The required units are selected

during user calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration).

The water temperature is shown in either degrees Celsius or

Fahrenheit, as set during calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration).

Timers

The timer key gives access to a count-up timer and to 5-minute and

10-minute race-start timers. Times are either in seconds (S) or minutes

(M), depending on the counter values.

Refer to the Using timer key flow diagram to display the required

timer. Once you have selected the required timer display, press the

reset key to start the timer running. When a timer is running, the

delimiter (i.e. ‘.’or ‘:’) flashes. For lap timing, press the reset key

momentarily. To stop and reset a timer to the start value, press the

reset key for 1 second.

Once a timer is running, you can leave the timer page and select any

other display. The counter will continue to run in the background.

Race-start timers

If you are using one of the race-start timers and the timer buzzer is

enabled, the buzzer will:

• Double-beep every minute.

• Beep three times at the start of the last 30 seconds.

• Beep once for each of the last 10 seconds.

• Beep for 2 seconds at zero.

The timer buzzer is enabled or disabled as part of the calibration

procedure (see Chapter 4, Calibration).

Note: After a race-start timer has counted-down to zero, it will then

start counting up.

Chapter 2: Maintenance and Fault Finding

2.1 Maintenance

Servicing and safety

• Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised

Raymarine service engineers. There are no user-serviceable parts in

any Raymarine product.

• Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the

cables/connectors when power is being applied 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.

When requesting service, please quote equipment Type, Model

Number and, if possible, Software Release Issue. The Software

Release Issue can be ascertained by means of the Intermediate

Calibration facility, see Chapter 4, Calibration.

Instrument

Certain atmospheric conditions may cause condensation to form on

the instrument window. 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 abrasive materials to clean the instrument.

Transducer

Refer to the Installation and Maintenance instructions supplied with

the transducer.

Cabling

Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield and,

where necessary, replace and re-secure.
