Preface 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 Depth instrument. This instrument provides accurate depth information, in either feet, meters or fathoms, on a high quality Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
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: • Flush mounting. If you have ordered the flush mounting option a low-profile bezel and four fixing screws are provided.

Spare spade terminals are also provided, to re-terminate the transducer cable if it has to be cut to facilitate installation. The above packing list is for an ST60 Depth system. Where an instrument is pur- Note: chased separately, a transducer is not included.

Calibration 1.5 Remote control When it is connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Depth instrument can be controlled remotely with a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit. Remote control of an instrument is indicated by a REMOTE legend on the display, to indicate that the keypad has control.
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.
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 table may help to identify and rectify the problem.

Chapter 3: Installation Chapter 3: Installation This chapter describes how to install the ST60 Depth instrument, and associated depth transducer. The transducer is fitted in the hull of the vessel and is connected to the rear of the instrument. The actual type of transducer depends on the type of hull in which it is to be installed.
Page 22
Wood Other transducer types are also available for specific requirements. For further details, contact your local Raymarine dealer. For accurate depth readings the transducer should be sited within the clear water flow areas indicated by the shaded areas in the following diagram.
ST60 instrument dimensions 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 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised.
Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine. Connections to other equipment If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit.
If you have ordered the flush mounting option a low-profile bezel and four fixing screws are also provided. Fitting the instrument The ST60 Depth instrument can be installed using one of a number of different mounting options: • Surface mounting. Gives a profile of approximately 0.95 in (24 mm).
0.25 in (6 mm) above the panel fascia. Fitting the low-profile bezel In order to flush-mount your ST60 instrument, you must first replace the standard bezel with the low-profile bezel as follows: 1. Hold the instrument in both hands with the display towards you.

Although this provides a useful alternative method for securing your instrument, it is only suitable for use in positions where the instrument will not be exposed to water. To bracket mount your ST60 instrument, do so in accordance with the Control Unit Mounting Bracket Instruction Sheet. Fitting transducer The ST60 Depth instrument is supplied, with a through-hull depth transducer.
Chapter 3: Installation • 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 interference.
Where a SeaTalk system includes an autopilot, the power for the system is provided by the autopilot. A range of Raymarine SeaTalk extension cables is available to connect separated instruments. These cables are supplied with a SeaTalk connector fitted to each end.
Chapter 3: Installation Power supply connections SeaTalk systems CAUTION: When instruments are connected to SeaTalk, ensure that the power supply for the SeaTalk 12 V line is protected by a 5 A fuse. Systems with a large number of instruments on the SeaTalk bus may require connections to the power supply from each end of the system (‘ring-main’...

Chapter 4: Calibration 4.1 Introduction The ST60 Depth 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.

Chapter 4: Calibration Depth offset 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 depth from the water line (W/L).
• Check the instrument software version. • Set the instrument status - either MASTER or REPEATER . This feature is par- ticularly useful in preventing interference when using another product (e.g. a fishfinder) that operates at 200 kHz. ST60 Depth Instrument Owner’s Handbook...
