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
Wind and ST60 Close Hauled Wind instruments. These give:
• True and Apparent wind direction and speed. Wind speed is
displayed either in knots, meters per second or as Beaufort scale
values.
• Velocity made good (VMG).
• Maximum wind speed.
In addition to this, ST60 Wind master instruments give:
• Maximum minimum true wind speed alarms.
• High and low apparent wind angle alarms.

ST60 Close Hauled
Wind instrument
The ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind instruments are constructed
in rugged weather proofed cases. Each provides a sensitive and stable,
combined analogue and digital display, to deliver accurate information
under even the most demanding conditions.
WARNING
Although the ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind instruments are
designed to give accurate and reliable performance, they 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.
ST60 Wind
The ST60 Wind instrument provides a 360oapparent wind scale and
can be used either as a stand-alone unit, or as part of an integrated
SeaTalk instrumentation system.
ST60 Close Hauled Wind
The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument provides an expanded
indication from -60oto +60oabout the bow and stern of the boat, on a
combined analogue and digital display.
Data inputs
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 appropriate 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.

Introduction vii
Stand alone operation
In Stand alone operation, the ST60 Wind instrument is connected only
to the relevant transducer and does not display information from, or
provide information to, any other instruments.
Note: The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument operates only as a
SeaTalk repeater. It cannot be connected directly to a wind transducer.
Remote control
When connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind
instruments can be controlled remotely by a SeaTalk Remote Keypad
Unit, to provide instant remote access to the various display readouts.
Mounting options
If you do not want to surface mount your ST60 instrument, options are
available for:
• Flush mounting. If you have ordered the flush mounting option a
low-profile bezel and four fixing screws are also provided.
• Bracket mounting.
