To find out the software version number of your ST60+ Tridata instrument: 1. During normal operation, hold down the depth and speed buttons for approximately 4 seconds, to display the software version ( VEr ) screen. Software version D8247_1 2. Note the software version number, then hold down the depth and speed buttons for approximately 2 seconds, to return to normal operation. 13 Chapter 3: Installation This chapter describes how to install the ST60+ Tridata instrument, and associated Speed and Depth transducers. The transducers are fitted in the hull of the vessel and connected to the rear of the instrument. The actual type of transducers depends on the type of hull in which they are 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 Guidelines (below) are satisfied. Site requirements Transducers Depth 2. 94 in (75 mm ) diameter Speed 2. 94 in (75 mm ) diameter 0. 19 in (5 mm) 3. 75 in (95 mm ) 2. 0 in (51 mm ) diameter 2. 94 in (75 mm ) diameter 2. 0 in (51 mm) diameter 2. 94 in (75 mm) diameter 0. 19 in (5 mm) D8686-1 4. 69 in (119 mm) 14 ST60+ Tridata 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 Speed transducer E26031 Through hull plastic E26031 Through hull plastic E26031 Through hull plastic Depth transducer 31-188-4-02 Through hull plastic or M78718 Retractable through hull 31-188-4-02 Through hull plastic or M78718 Retractable through hull 31-188-4-02 Through hull plastic or M78718 Retractable through hull M78716 Through hull bronze M78714 Through hull bronze or M78719 Retractable through hull bronze Other transducer types are also available for specific requirements. For accurate speed and depth readings the transducers 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 Chapter 3: Installation 15 The transducers should also: · Be ahead of the propellers (by a minimum of 10% of the water line length). · Be at least 150 mm (6 in) away from the keel (ideally ahead of the keel if a sailing yacht). In addition to the above requirements, the depth transducer must be mounted within 10 of the vertical, forward, aft and athwart ships. 0 10° maximum Maximum transducer angle D4350-3 Instrument CAUTION: Keep the rear of the instrument dry Keep the rear of instrument dry. Failure to observe this caution could result in damage if water enters the instrument through the breathing hole or comes 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. 16 ST60+ Tridata Instrument Owner's Handbook Each instrument must also be positioned where: · It is easily read by the helmsman · It is protected against physical damage · It is at least 230 mm (9 in) from a compass · It is at least 500 mm (20 in) from radio receiving equipment · There is reasonable rear access for installation and servicing With standard bezel (surface mount) 4. 33 in (110 mm) 0. 93 in (23. 5 mm) 0. 6 in (15 mm) With low profile bezel (flush mount) 4. 90 in (124 mm) ST60+ instrument dimensions 0. 25 in 1. 4 in (6. 50 mm) (35 mm) D8146-1 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 490 in (124 mm) 3. 54 in (90 mm) diameter 4. 53 in (115 mm) 3. 54 in (90 mm) diameter Chapter 3: Installation constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment. 17 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). [. . . ] At this point: · The text Strt 2 alternating with the new calibration factor is displayed at the bottom of the screen. This value should be very close to the actual (measured) distance of the calibration run. From sheet 1 speed Complete the outward leg of the second cal run At the end of the outward leg, press speed Complete the return leg of the second cal run At the start of the return leg press speed At the end of the return leg press speed Speed calibration is now complete depth Press + speed to save the cal factor Exit to Instrument status display (Intermediate calibration) D8182-1 Speed calibration, sheet 2 8. Carry out one of the following actions: · If you are satisfied with the results of the first calibration run, press the depth and speed buttons together, to store the new calibration factor, exit speed calibration and return to the Instrument status screen. Chapter 4: Calibration 39 · If you want to carry out a second calibration run: i. Press speed to start the second calibration run (see sheet 2 of the Speed calibration flow chart). [. . . ]
