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) diameter 0. 57 in (14 mm) Plastic through hull speed transducer dimensions 3. 95 in (100 mm) D4446-3 12 ST60 Speed 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 M78712 Through hull plastic M78712 Through hull plastic M78712 Through hull plastic M78716 Through hull bronze Other transducer types are also available for specific requirements. For accurate speed 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 clear of other through-hull fittings or projections. Chapter 3: Installation · Have sufficient clearance inside the hull to fit the nut. There must also be a viable route for the transducer cable to be routed to the instrument. 13 Instrument With standard bezel 4. 33 in (110 mm) 0. 95 in (24 mm) 0. 6 in (15 mm) With low profile bezel 4. 85 in (123 mm) ST60 instrument dimensions 0. 25 in 1. 4 in (6. 2 mm) (35 mm) D5785-4 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 at least 9 in (230 mm) from a compass. 4. 85 in (123 mm) 3. 54 in (90 mm) diameter 4. 53 in (115 mm) 3. 54 in (90 mm) diameter 14 ST60 Speed 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. 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. 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. 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). A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. [. . . ] Set the length of the intended calibration run, using either the timer key to decrement or the reset key to increment the run length value. Press timer and reset keys together to commence the speed calibration. The text at the top of the screen alternates between START 1 and the calibration factor currently applied. Start the outward leg of the calibration run and as you pass the start point, press the trip key, so the screen shows OUTWARD at the top. [. . . ]
