Preface i
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. However, the Raymarine policy of
continuous product improvement may change product specifications
without notice. Consequently, unavoidable differences may occur
between the product and the handbook from time to time, for which
Raymarine cannot accept liability.

Chapter 1: Operation
1.1 Introduction
Your ST40 Bidata instrument:
• Provides speed information (current, maximum and average), in
either knots (KTS), miles per hour (MPH) or kilometres per
hour (KPH).
• Provides log and trip information. These are given in either nautical
miles (NM), statute miles (M) or kilometres (KM).
• Provides water temperature information. This is given in either
degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
• Provides depth information in either feet (FT), metres (M) or
fathoms (FA).
• Records the minimum depth encountered during the period it is
switched on. You can reset this at any time.
• Enables you to define alarm thresholds for shallow water, deep
water, shallow anchor and deep anchor.
• Enables you to see what offset is applied to the depth reading.
Note: The required speed, distance, depth and water temperature units
are selected during User calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration).
CAUTION
Your instrument is calibrated to factory (default) settings when
first supplied and must therefore be calibrated before use, to
ensure optimum performance on your vessel. Do NOT use the
instrument until the calibration procedures have been
satisfactorily completed, using the procedures in Chapter 4,
Calibration.
Coloured bezel and Desktop Mounting Bracket options are available
for your ST40 instrument. Contact your Raymarine dealer for further
information.
Display
The ST40 Bidata display comprises upper and lower data areas, each of
which shows either depth or speed information, selected as shown in
the following illustration.
