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: Navigational safety Although we have designed this product to be accurate and reliable, many factors can affect its performance. [. . . ] In order to minimise these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equipment, i. e. · Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. · In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation. Instrument Certain atmospheric conditions may cause condensation to form on the instrument window. This will not harm the instrument and can be cleared by increasing the illumination setting to Level 3. Do NOT use chemical and abrasive materials to clean the instrument. Transducer Refer to the Installation and Maintenance instructions supplied with the transducer. 8 ST60+ Depth Instrument Owner's Handbook Cabling Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield, and where necessary, replace and re-secure. 2. 2 Troubleshooting Preliminary procedures Changes in the electronic environment may adversely affect the operation of your ST60+ 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. If you appear to have a problem, first ensure that the EMC requirements are still being met before further investigating the problem. 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 table may help to identify and rectify the problem. Fault Display blank Cause No power supply Remedy Check power supply & ensure instrument is switched on. Check SeaTalk cabling and connector security Check fuse/circuit breaker Check security of SeaTalk connectors. Check the security of SeaTalk connectors between functioning and non-functioning instruments No transfer of information between SeaTalk instruments (e. g. Failure of a group of SeaTalk instruments.

To find out the software version number of your ST60+ Depth instrument: 1. During normal operation, hold down the depth and alarm buttons for approximately 4 seconds, to display the VERSION screen. Software version D8246-2 2. Note the software version number, then hold down the depth and alarm buttons for approximately 2 seconds, to return to normal operation. 10 ST60+ Depth Instrument Owner's Handbook 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 by cable 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.

[. . . ] This requires a positive offset. Chapter 4: Calibration 29 W/L (+ve offset values) OFFSET (offset value of 0. 0) KEEL (-ve offset values) Depth offsets D4352-1 The legend at the top of the Depth offset screen reflects the value you set up, i. e. W/L for positive offsets, KEEL for negative offsets and OFFSET for zero offset. Setting offset values WARNING: Use the correct depth offset The use of the correct depth offset is critical to the safety of the vessel. If incorrect offset values are applied, this could result in misleading depth information being displayed with a consequent risk of running aground. Use the offset (decrement) and reset (increment) buttons to set the required offset value. [. . . ]
