ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner's Handbook Document number: 81159_2 Date: 1st May 2001 Copyright © Raymarine Limited 2001 Preface i Important information WARNING Although your ST40 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. The design and manufacture of Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Handbook information To the best of our knowledge, the information in this handbook was correct when it went to press. [. . . ] Do NOT use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the instrument. Transducers Refer to the Installation and Maintenance instructions supplied with the transducers. 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. Changes in the electronic environment may adversely affect the operation of your ST40 equipment. Typical examples of such changes are: · Electrical equipment has recently been installed or moved aboard your vessel. · You are in the vicinity of another vessel or shore station emitting radio signals. 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 rectify the problem. Low battery Action Recharge your vessel's battery as soon as possible BIDATA D4737-2 Chapter 2: Maintenance and Fault Finding 11 Display blank Action Check fuse/circuit breaker. Check power supply. ST40 BIDATA D4738-2 Check SeaTalk cabling and connector security. Depth reading flashes when under way ST40 BIDATA OR ST40 BIDATA D4739-2 Action Ensure that reading stabilises when clear of disturbed water, e. g. boat wakes, propeller wash etc. No depth information OR ST40 BIDATA ST40 BIDATA 1 minute 1 minute ST40 BIDATA ST40 BIDATA D4740-2 Action Check the condition of the depth transducer cable and the security of the connections. Could also be due to weed growing on the transducer face. 12 ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner's Handbook No speed or temperature information ST40 BIDATA OR ST40 BIDATA and and ST40 BIDATA ST40 BIDATA D4741-3 Action Check the condition of the speed transducer cable and the security of the connections. No speed information but temperature information is present OR ST40 BIDATA ST40 BIDATA and and ST40 BIDATA ST40 BIDATA D4742-2 Action CAUTION If you need to remove the transducer insert, have the transducer bung to hand and secure it in the transducer body immediately after the insert has been removed, to prevent excessive ingress of water. The speed transducer paddle wheel may be fouled. Clean the paddle wheel. Chapter 2: Maintenance and Fault Finding 13 SeaTalk information not being transferred between instruments For example, backlighting level changes implemented at one instrument do not affect other instruments Action Check security of SeaTalk connections between instruments. Isolate faulty instrument by disconnecting instruments one by one. A group of SeaTalk instruments not working Action ST40 WIND Check the security of SeaTalk connectors between functioning and non-functioning instruments.

The transducers are fitted in the hull of the vessel and is connected to the rear of the instrument. 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 for use in the leisure marine 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 any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment. For optimum 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. 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 degrees above and below the radiating element. 16 ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner's Handbook · 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.
