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 Software issue number can be ascertained by means of the Intermediate Calibration facility, see Chapter 4, Calibration . 10 ST60 Depth Instrument Owner's Handbook Chapter 3: Installation 11 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. For advice, or further information regarding the installation of this equipment, please contact the Raymarine Product Support Department or your own National Distributor. 3. 1 Planning your installation Before starting the installation, spend some time considering the best positions for both transducer and instrument, such that the Site Requirements and the EMC installation guidelines (below) are satisfied. Site requirements Transducer 2. 94 in (75 mm ) diameter 2. 00 in (51 mm) diameter 2. 94 in (75 mm) 0. 19 in (5 mm) diameter Depth transducer dimensions 3. 50 in (89 mm) D4445-3 12 ST60 Depth Instrument Owner's Handbook The transducer types required for the various hull types are as follows: Hull material Glass reinforced plastic (GRP) Steel Aluminium Wood Transducer type M78713 Through hull plastic M78718 Retractable through hull M78713 Through hull plastic M78718 Retractable through hull M78713 Through hull plastic M78718 Retractable through hull M78714 Through hull bronze M78719 Retractable through hull 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. Sailing vessel Planing power vessel Displacement power vessel Transducer siting D4349-1 The transducer should also: · Be ahead of the propellers (by a minimum of 10% of the water line length). · Be at least 6 in (150 mm) away from the keel (ideally ahead of the keel if a sailing yacht). · Be as near as possible to the center line of the vessel. Chapter 3: Installation · · · · Be clear of other through-hull fittings or projections. Have sufficient clearance inside the hull to fit the nut. Have 4 in (100 mm) of headroom to allow for withdrawal. Be within 10° of the vertical, forward, aft and athwart ships. 13 There must also be a viable route for the transducer cable to be routed to the instrument. 10° maximum Maximum transducer angle D4350-1 Instrument CAUTION: The presence of moisture at the rear of the instrument could cause damage either by entering the instrument through the breathing hole or by coming into contact with the electrical connectors. ST60 instruments can be fitted either above or below deck, provided the rear of the instrument is sited where it is protected from contact with water. Each instrument must also be positioned where: · It is easily read by the helmsman. · It is protected against physical damage. · It is at least 9 in (230 mm) from a compass. 14 ST60 Depth Instrument Owner's Handbook · It is at least 20 in (500 mm) from radio receiving equipment. · There is reasonable rear access for installation and servicing.

Their design and manufacture conforms 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 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. 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 15 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). · More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. [. . . ] Use the offset (decrement) and reset (increment) keys to set the required offset value. If you want to display the actual depth reading from the transducer, set a value of 0. 0. If you want to apply a W/L (water line) offset or a KEEL offset, adjust the displayed reading until the correct offset value is shown (positive for W/L ; negative for KEEL ). Shallow lock When set to On, prevents inadvertent alteration to the shallow depth alarm setting. Note: The procedure for setting alarm threshold levels is given in Chapter 1, Operation. Pop-up pilot Switches the pop-up pilot function on and off. Leaving User calibration Hold down the depth and alarm keys for 2 seconds to save your settings, exit User calibration and resume normal operation. 4. 3 Intermediate calibration Intermediate calibration enables you to: · Check the instrument software version. · Set the instrument status - either MASTER or REPEATER .
