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.

You can use any one of three Raymarine wind transducer types in conjunction with the ST60 Wind instruments: · Cruiser wind vane (short arm). The transducer is connected to the rear of the instrument. Note: The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument does not connect directly to a wind trans- ducer. 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 are satisfied. Site requirements Transducers Each transducer type has a cable connected, and is supplied with a junction box and a set of spade terminals. The transducer location must: · Allow reasonable access for installation and servicing. · Be as high as possible and away from any equipment which may shield the transducer or otherwise disturb the air flow. mast top) is otherwise suitable but not horizontal, make up a suitable wedged packing piece to provide the necessary horizontal surface. There must also be a viable route for the transducer cable to be routed to the instrument. 12 ST60 Wind & Close Hauled Wind Instrument Owner's Handbook 7. 4 in (187 mm) 10. 7 in (272 mm) Approx 16. 8 in (426 mm)* 2. 7 in (68 mm) 1. 5 in (38 mm) 21. 2 in (538. 5 mm) 9. 76 in (248 mm) Wind Vane Wind transducer dimensions 2. 76 in (70 mm) Rotavecta *Exact Rotavecta height is dependent on mounting method.

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 · 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. · 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 dam- 14 ST60 Wind & Close Hauled Wind Instrument Owner's Handbook age the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode. 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.

Hold down the disp and true/app keys for approximately 2 seconds to enter User calibration then use the disp key to select the wind angle screen (see the User calibration flow diagram). Sail directly into the wind and adjust the analog pointer to zero, using the vmg and tack keys. If you are unable to achieve the required degree of accuracy due to sea conditions, and errors become apparent during subsequent tack operations, repeat this procedure to achieve alignment accuracy.
