Chapter 1: Operation
Chapter 1:Operation
1.1 Introduction
YourST40Compassinstrument:
• Provides true and magnetic bearing information.
• Enables a locked bearing to be defined either manually, or
automatically by a course computer. In this mode, the instrument
shows the deviations from the locked bearing and the direction to
steer to achieve the locked bearing.
CAUTION
Your instrument is calibrated to factory (default) settings when
first supplied and must therefore be calibrated before use, to
ensure optimum performance on your vessel. Do NOT use the
instrument until the calibration procedures have been
satisfactorily completed, using the procedures in Chapter 4,
Calibration.
Coloured bezel and Desktop Mounting Bracket options are available
for your ST40 instrument. Contact your Raymarine dealer for further
information.

Chapter 2:Maintenance and Fault Finding
2.1 Maintenance
Servicing and safety
• Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised
Raymarineservicetechnicians. Theywillensurethatservice
procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance.
There are no user-serviceable parts in any Raymarine product.
• Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables/
connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment.
• When powered up, all electrical equipment produces
electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical
equipment to interact with one another, with a consequent adverse
affect on operation. In order to minimise these effects and enable
you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine
equipment, guidelines are given in theinstallation instructions, to
enableyoutoensureminimuminteractionbetweendifferentitems
ofequipment, i.e. ensureoptimumElectromagneticCompatibility
(EMC).
• Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine
dealer. We will use any 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
resettingaction, ormomentarilymayresultinfaultyoperation.
• AlwaysswitchoffthepowertoRaymarineequipmentbefore
workingonit.
When requesting service, please quote equipment Type, Model
Number, Serial 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.

ST40CompassInstrumentOwner’sHandbook
Instrument
Certain atmospheric conditions may cause a small amount of
condensation to form on the instrument window. This will not harm the
instrument and will clear after the instrument has been switched on for a
short period.
Periodically clean your ST40 instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do
NOT use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the instrument.
Cabling
Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield and,
where necessary, replace and re-secure.
2.2 Fault finding
Preliminary procedures
If you appear to have a problem, first check the security of the
connections at the rear of the instrument and reconnect any that are
loose.
Changesintheelectronicenvironmentmayadverselyaffectthe
operation of your ST40 equipment. Typical examples of such changes
are:
• Electrical equipment has recently been installed or moved aboard
yourvessel.
• You are in the vicinity of another vessel or shore station emitting
radiosignals.
Fixing faults
All Raymarine products are subjected to comprehensive test and
quality assurance programmes prior to packing and shipping. However,
if a fault occurs, the following guidelines may help to identify and
rectifytheproblem.

Chapter 3: Installation
Chapter 3: Installation
This chapter describes how to install the ST40 Compass instrument,
and associated Fluxgate Compass transducer.
3.1 Planning your installation
Determine the best positions for both transducer and instrument, such
that the EMC installation guidelines and the Site requirements (below)
are satisfied.
EMC installation guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best
industry standards forusein theleisuremarine environment.
Their design and manufacture conform 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 recognised 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
anylocation, alwaysensurethemaximumseparationpossiblebetween
different items of electrical equipment.
Foroptimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever
possible:
• All Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
• At least 1 m (3 feet) 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 2 m
(7 ft).
• More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar
beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degreesabove and
below the radiating element.
12
ST40CompassInstrumentOwner’sHandbook
• The equipment is supplied from a different 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 at all times. Cutting and
rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so
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 reassembled in the same position.
Suppression Ferrites
The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites fitted
toRaymarineequipment. Alwaysusetheferritessuppliedby
Raymarine.
D3548-2
Connections to Other Equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is going to be connected to other
equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression
ferrite MUST always be fitted to the cable close to the Raymarine unit.
Tools required
The tools required for fitting the standard ST40 instrument system are
showninthefollowingillustration.

The Fluxgate Compass transducer must also be sited:
• At least 0.8 m (2 ft 6 in) away from the vessel's steering compass to
avoid deviation in both compasses.
• On a bulkhead below deck.
Note: On steel vessels the Fluxgate Compass transducer can be
mounted above deck. When mounted above deck, performance may be
impaired due to increased motion.
• To allow reasonable access for installation and servicing.
• Away from any equipment or other installation which may shield
the transducer or otherwise disturb the earth’s magnetic field, e.g.
large ferrous or magnetic items, engines, communications
equipment or cabling.
• On a vertical mounting surface. Where necessary, make up a
suitable nonferrous wedged packing piece to provide the necessary
vertical surface.

Chapter 3: Installation
3.2 Procedures
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. If in doubt, seek
advice from a reputable boat builder.
Fitting Fluxgate Compass transducer
Introduction
Stand alone instrument
If you are fitting the ST40 Compass instrument as a stand alone
instrument, you should also fit the Fluxgate Compass transducer and
connect it directly to the instrument.
System requirements
If you intend fitting the ST40 Compass instrument as part of an
instrument system, you must ensure that only one Fluxgate Compass
transducer is connected to the system.
In such a system, the master steering compass instrument is the one to
which the Fluxgate Compass transducer is directly connected. Other
compass instruments in the system repeat information from this
master.
Note: The Fluxgate Compass transducer can be connected to a course
computer instead of a compass instrument. The course computer then
provides the master compass information for the system.
Installation
Determine a suitable position for the Fluxgate Compass transducer, as
described under Site requirements.
16
ST40CompassInstrumentOwner’sHandbook
76 mm (3 in)
76 mm (3 in)
D729-6
If you are not sure of the magnetic suitability of the chosen location,
carry out a survey of the site as follows:
1. Temporarily fix a simple hand bearing compass at the intended
location.
2. Swing the vessel through 360° while at the same time observing
differences between the hand bearing compass and the vessel's
main steering compass.
3. If there are no differences, greater than 10° on any heading, then
the site is suitable for the Fluxgate Compass transducer.
Using the self-tapping screws provided, mount the Fluxgate Compass
transducer vertically on a suitable bulkhead, so that the connecting
cable is downmost.
Running transducer cable
Observing the following guidelines, run the transducer cable to the
instrument:
• If the cable has to be fed through the deck, always use a good quality
deckgland.
• Where cables are fed through holes, always use grommets to prevent
chafing.
• Secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard.
• Wherever possible, route the cable away from fluorescent lights,
engines, radiotransmittingequipment, asthesemaycause
interference.
17
Chapter 3: Installation
Connections to the instrument
Youcanconnectyourinstrument:
• Directly to the compass transducer as a stand-alone master
instrument. Whenconnectedinthismanner, theinstrumentmustbe
connected to a suitable power source using the 1 m (3 ft) power
cable provided.
• As part of a SeaTalk system either as a repeater or, with a transducer
also connected as a system master. To connect to SeaTalk, you will
need an additional SeaTalk Interconnection Kit (Part No. E25028).
When connected in this manner, power can be provided from the
SeaTalk bus (e.g. from the autopilot).
Provided there is no other Fluxgate Compass already connected to
SeaTalk, you can connect the instrument to both the compass
transducer and SeaTalk. When thus connected, the instrument will be
themastercompassinstrumentfortheSeaTalksystem.
If it is necessary to fit spade connectors to the transducer cable, do so as
shown in the following illustration. Prepare the cable, as at (a), and fit
the spade connectors as at (b). When fitting each spade connector,
ensure that wire strands do not extend beyond the rear of the spade
connectorinsulation.

Chapter 4: Calibration
Chapter 4:Calibration
4.1 Introduction
The procedures in this Chapter must be carried out before the
equipment is used operationally, to optimise the performance of the
instrumentwiththevessel.
Calibration information is presented in flow chart form. The flow charts
show the various calibration screens and key presses necessary to carry
out calibration. All key presses are momentary unless otherwise stated.
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
User calibration enables you to:
• Set the compass heading response values. Use higher response
values for rapid updates in reasonable sea conditions (for
example when you are trying to maintain a locked course). Use
lower response values in choppy sea conditions to damp out
unstablereadings.
• Setthemagneticvariation.
• Set the heading reference (magnetic or true).
• Linearise and align the compass.
Power up the instrument then follow the procedure in the User
