Preface
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+
Tridata instrument. This instrument provides accurate depth, speed, 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.
Data inputs
The ST60+ Tridata instrument can fulfil master and/or repeater roles by receiving
data either from the appropriate transducers 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.

viii ST60+ Tridata Instrument Owner’s Handbook
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 appropriate to its function,
to all other equipment on the SeaTalk network. A repeater instrument is not
directly connected to a transducer but displays information provided by other
equipment in the SeaTalk network.
Stand alone operation
In Stand alone operation, the ST60+ Tridata 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+ Tridata instrument can be controlled
remotely by a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit, to provide instant remote access to
the various display readouts.
Mounting options
A standard ST60+ instrument is surface-mounted at the required location. 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 flush mount
bezel and four fixing screws are also provided.
• Bracket mounting.
