Introduction v
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Raymarine product. We are sure your
ST60 instrument will give you many years of trouble-free operation.
This handbook describes how to install and use the Raymarine ST60
Speed instrument. This instrument provides accurate speed, log, trip
and timer information, on a high quality Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD). The instrument is constructed in a rugged weather-proofed
case to provide reliable performance, even under the most demanding
conditions.
D4322-2
WARNING
Although the ST60 Speed 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.
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct
installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised.

vi ST60 Speed Instrument Owner’s Handbook
Data inputs
The ST60 Speed instrument receives data either from an appropriate
speed transducer and/or from a SeaTalk instrumentation system.
SeaTalk
SeaTalk enables a number of compatible instruments to operate as a
single, integrated navigational system. Instruments in a SeaTalk
system are linked by means of a single cable, which feeds both power
and data. Instruments can therefore be added to the system by plugging
them into the network. SeaTalk is flexible enough to adapt to any
number of compatible instruments without requiring a central
processor. SeaTalk can also communicate via an interface, with non-
SeaTalk equipment using the internationally-accepted National
Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol.
In a SeaTalk system, each instrument can be either a master or
dedicated repeater unit. A master instrument is directly connected to a
transducer (the device that provides the raw data), and provides data
and control for the service it is providing, to all other equipment on the
SeaTalk network. A slave instrument is not directly connected to a
transducer but repeats information provided by other equipment in the
SeaTalk network.
The ST60 Speed instrument can fulfil both master and repeater roles.
Stand alone operation
In Stand alone operation, the ST60 Speed instrument is connected only
to the relevant transducer and does not display information from, or
provide information to, any other instruments.
Remote control
When connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Speed instrument can be
controlled remotely by a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit, to provide
instant remote access to the various display readouts.

Chapter 1: Operation
1.1 Getting started
Displayed information
Your ST60 Speed instrument provides the following:
•Speed information.
•Log, trip and water temperature information.
•Count-up and race-start timers.
Calibration requirement
The ST60 Speed instrument is calibrated to factory (default) settings
when first installed and must therefore be calibrated before use, in
accordance with the procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration, to ensure
optimum performance on your vessel.
Do NOT use the instrument until the calibration procedures have
been satisfactorily completed.
1.2 Normal operation
Use the flow charts in this Chapter to operate your ST60 Speed
instrument. The flow charts show the sequence of key presses and
displays for the various operating tasks. All key presses are momentary
unless otherwise stated.
Speed information
The speed key gives access to current speed, maximum speed,
average speed, velocity made good (VMG) and speed over ground
(SOG) information. Refer to the Using speed key flow diagram to
access the information you want.
Current speed
Speed measurement units can be either knots (KTS), miles per hour
(MPH) or kilometres per hour (KMH). The required units are selected
during user calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration).
