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. [. . . ] · Always switch off the power to Raymarine equipment before working on it. 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.
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.

ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner's Handbook
Periodically clean your ST40 instrument with a soft damp cloth. 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

Chapter 3: Installation
This chapter describes how to install the ST40 Bidata instrument, and associated transducers. 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). [. . . ] SeaTalk is a proprietary Raymarine system which links different compatible products, to provide a single, integrated navigational system. SeaTalk can also communicate with non-SeaTalk equipment using the internationally- accepted National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol. When displayed on the Offset screen (during normal operation), or the Depth offset screen (during User calibration), indicates that a positive depth offset is set.
