[. . . ] ST60 Rudder Angle Indicator Instrument Owner's Handbook Document number: 81123-4 Date: 1 April 2004 Raymarine, ST60 and SeaTalk are trademarks of Raymarine Limited © Handbook contents copyright Raymarine Limited 2004 Preface i Preface Important information Safety notices WARNING: Product installation & operation This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the Raymarine instructions provided. Failure to do so could result in personal injury, damage to your boat and/or poor product performance. WARNING: Electrical safety Make sure you have switched off the power supply before you start installing this product. WARNING: Although we have designed this product to be accurate and reliable, many factors can affect its performance. [. . . ] 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. 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 carrying radio signals e. g. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m). 4. 85 in (123 mm) 3. 54 in (90 mm) diameter 4. 53 in (115 mm) 3. 54 in (90 mm) diameter Chapter 3: Installation 9 · 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 needs to be removed during installation it must 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. D3548-6 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. 3. 2 Procedures As it is not possible to describe procedures for all possible installation scenarios, the procedures given here describe the broad requirements for installing an ST60 Rudder Angle Indicator instrument and its associated transducer. Adapt these procedures as appropriate, to suit your individual requirement. 10 ST60 Rudder Angle Indicator Instrument Owner's Handbook 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 instrument and check that the items detailed in the Introduction to this handbook 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 ordered the flush mounting option, a low-profile bezel and four fixing screws are also provided. Fitting the instrument The ST60 Rudder Angle Indicator 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). Gives a profile of approximately 0. 25 in (6 mm) · Bracket Mounting. The ST60 Rudder Angle Indicator instrument can also be mounted behind a panel with just the instrument dial and keys visible. Surface mounting To surface mount your ST60 instrument (see the Surface mounting illustration): 1. Ensure that: · The selected location is clean, smooth and flat. [. . . ] 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. A junction box can be used to join cables. Signal connections Make the necessary connections to your ST60 instrument (see the Connections to ST60 Rudder Angle Indicator instrument illustration). SeaTalk cable SeaTalk cable Note: If the ST60 Rudder Angle Indicator pointer moves in the wrong direction with respect to the rudder movement, swap the Red and Green connections. This may be necessary if the Rudder Reference Transducer is fitted in a non-standard manner.
