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  
Tridata instrument. This instrument provides accurate depth, speed, trip  
and timer information, on a high quality Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).  
The instrument is constructed in a rugged weather-proofed case to pro-  
vide reliable performance, even under the most demanding conditions.  
D4324-1  
Data inputs  
The ST60 Tridata instrument can fulfil master and/or repeater roles by  
receiving data either from the appropriate transducers 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.

viii  
ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Manual  
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 otherequipment 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.  
Stand alone operation  
In Stand alone operation, the ST60 Tridata 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 Tridata instrument can be  
controlled remotely by a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit, to provide  
instant remote access to the various display readouts.  
Mounting options  
If you do not want to surface mount your ST60 instrument, options are  
available for:  
Flushmounting. If youhave orderedthe flushmountingoptionalow-  
profile bezel and four fixing screws are also provided.  
Bracket mounting.

2.1 Maintenance  
Servicing and safety  
Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised Rayma-  
rine service technicians. They will ensure that servicing 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/connectors when power is being applied to the equipment.  
When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromag-  
netic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment  
tointeractwithone another, with aconsequent adverse effect onoper-  
ation. In order tominimise these effectsand enable you to get the best  
possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines  
are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure min-  
imum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure  
optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).  
Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine  
dealer. We use such information to improve our quality standards.  
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 it can lead to spurious resetting action, or  
momentarily may result in faulty operation.  
Instrument  
Certain atmospheric conditions may cause condensation to form on the  
instrument window. Thiswill not harm the instrument and can be cleared  
by increasing the illumination setting to Level 3.

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  
ElectromagneticCompatibility(EMC)standards,butcorrectinstallation  
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.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Chapter 3: Installation  
17  
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 car-  
rying 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 normally 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 damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of  
some information and may change the operating mode.  
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 needstobe removedduring installation itmust  
be reassembled 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.  
D3548-2  
Connections to Other Equipment  
IfyourRaymarineequipmentistobeconnectedtootherequipmentusing  
a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always  
be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit.

scenarios, the procedures given here describe the broad requirements for  
installing the Speed and Depth transducers and the ST60 Tridata  
instrument. Adapt these procedures as appropriate, to suit your  
individual requirement.  
CAUTION:  
Where it is necessary to cut holes (e.g. for cable routing and  
instrument mounting), ensure that these will not cause a hazard by  
weakening critical parts of the vessel’s structure.  
Unpacking  
Unpack your ST60 equipment and check that the items described in  
Introduction are present.  
Each ST60 instrument is supplied with a standard bezel for surface  
mounting. Optional mounting kits are available for flush mounting and  
bracket mounting the instrument. If you have orderedthe flush mounting  
option a low-profile bezel and four fixing screws are also provided.

Fitting transducer  
The ST60 Tridata instrument is supplied, with appropriate through-hull  
Speed and Depth transducers.  
Each transducer is supplied with detailed instructions for installation and  
maintenance. Before attempting to install a transducer, read these  
instructions and the Site requirements for transducers described in this  
Chapter.  
Once you are satisfied you can meet all the installation requirements,  
install the transducer in accordance with the accompanying installation  
instructions.  
Running transducer cable  
Each transducer type has a 14 m (45 ft) cable fitted with spade terminals  
for connection to the ST60 Tridata instrument. The manner in which you  
run the cable will depend on the locations of the transducers and  
instrument. The following guidelines are provided:  
If the cable has to be fed through the deck, always use a proprietary  
deck gland.  
Where cables are fed through holes, always use grommets to prevent  
chafing.  
Secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard.  
Do not route the cable through bilges.  
Wherever possible, route the cable away from fluorescent lights,  
engines, radio transmitting equipment, as these may cause interfer-  
ence.  
The transducer cables are fitted with spade connectors for direct con-  
nection to the rear of the instrument. However, it may be necessary to  
remove these to facilitate installation, e.g. if a cable has to be routed  
through narrow apertures. Extra spade connectors are provided, to  
replace any that are removed when running transducer cables. When  
fitting spade connectors, prepare the cable as at (a) in the following  
illustration, then fold back the wire strands and insert into the spade  
connector as at (b). Ensure the wire strands do not extend beyond the  
rearofthespadeconnectorinsulation, thencrimptheconnectortothe

Calibration  
27  
Chapter 4: Calibration  
4.1 Introduction  
The ST60 Tridata instrument is set up with factory-programmed default  
settings, so in order to optimise the performance of the instrument on  
board a particular vessel, the procedures in this Chapter must be carried  
out immediately after the completion of installation and before the  
equipment is used for navigational purposes.  
Where practicable, the calibration procedures are presented  
diagrammatically to show the sequence of key presses and the resulting  
displays. Adjustment instructions are given as applicable.  
Speed readings  
One of the reasons for calibration is to ensure that the speed readings  
displayed at the instrument are a true indication of the actual speed of the  
vessel.  
In User calibration - Speed, you can:  
Automatically set the displayed speed reading to be the same as the  
Speed Over Ground (SOG) (if SOG data is available).  
Manually apply a calibration factor, to set the displayed speed to the  
required value.  
If neither of the above methods are suitable, you can carry out a speed  
calibration run over a measured distance, to enable the instrument to  
calculate the correct calibration factor. This is described as part of  
Intermediate calibration.  
EMC conformance  
Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is  
not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.  
4.2 User calibration  
The User calibration procedures enable you to:  
Set the required units for depth readings.  
Set the offset for depth readings, i.e. determine whether depth read-  
ings are from the keel of the vessel or from the water line.

Either calibrate the speed reading to Speed Over Ground (SOG) or  
manually apply a calibration factor, to obtain correct speed through  
the water.  
Select temperature units.  
Calibrate for correct temperature readings.

Depth offset  
WARNING:  
The use of incorrect offset values could result in misleading  
depth information being displayed with a consequent risk  
of running aground.  
Depths are measured from the transducer to the sea bed. However, you  
can use the depth offset screen to apply offsets to this distance, so that the  
displayed depth reading represents either the depth from the keel or the  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

depth from the water line. In order to do this, you need to know the  
vertical separation between the transducer position and:  
The bottom of the keel.  
The water line.  
Use the trip (decrement) and reset (increment) keys to set the required  
offset value:  
If you want to display the depth reading from the transducer, set a  
value of 0.0.  
If you want to apply a water line offset, adjust the displayed reading  
until the appropriate positive offset value is shown.  
If you want to apply a keel offset, adjust the displayed reading until  
the appropriate negative offset value is shown.

Speed calibration  
The speed calibration procedure involves carrying out two runs over a  
measured distance, to enable a calibration factor to be determined and  
applied to your ST60 Tridata instrument, to ensure optimum accuracy.  
Each calibration run comprises outward and return legs, to minimise the  
affect of tidal drift when the calibration factor is determined.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
36  
ST60 Tridata Instrument Owners Manual  
Note: It is recommended that the speed calibration procedure is carried  
out in conditions of minimum tidal drift.  
To carry out a speed calibration, start the Intermediate calibration  
procedure and use the speed key to proceed to the Calibration run length  
screen (see sheet 1 of the Speed calibration flow chart). Proceed with the  
speed calibration as follows:  
1. With the Calibration Run Length screen displayed, press the trip and  
reset keys together to enter adjust mode. In this mode, the displayed  
run length flashes on and off.  
2. Set thelengthof the intended calibrationrun, using either thetrip key  
to decrement or the reset key to increment the run length value. You  
can set any value between 0.25 and 2.50.  
3. Press trip and reset keys together to commence the speed calibration.

4.4 Dealer calibration  
The Dealer calibration procedures enable the following parameters to be  
set:  
User calibration on/off.  
Speed response.  
Depth response.  
Boat show mode on/off.  
Dealer calibration also gives access to the Factory defaults screen. This  
enables you to re-apply the factory settings if you want to reset the  
instrument to a known operating condition.  
To commence Dealer calibration, hold down the depth and speed keys  
together for approximately 12 seconds, to select the Dealer calibration  
entry page (see Dealer calibration diagram). Then press the trip and  
reset keys together, to enter the calibration screen sequence.  
Use the depth key to move from screen to screen and the trip or the rest  
key to set the required values at each screen.  
User calibration on/off  
Press either the trip or reset key to toggle the User calibration onor offas  
required. Withoff selected, User calibration and Intermediate calibration  
are both disabled.  
Response settings  
The response values for both SPEED and DEPTH determine the frequency  
at which information is updated. A low number provides a smooth  
response and a high number a much livelier update.  
Use the trip (decrement) and reset (increment) keys to set the required  
value. Response values are from 1 to 15.
