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.

Chapter 1: Operation
1.1 Getting started
This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the Raymarine
ST60+ Tridata instrument.
Switching on and off
All the time that power is applied to the instrument, you can use the depth
button to switch the instrument off and on as follows:
• To switch the instrument off, hold down the depth button for approximately
5 seconds. After this time, a switch off count down of 4 seconds occurs. Keep
the depth button pressed during this period, to switch off the instrument.
• To switch the instrument back on, hold down the depth button for approxi-
mately 1 second.
When the power supply is switched off, none of the instrument buttons (including
depth) has any effect.
Notes: (1) Each time power to the instrument is switched on, the instrument is ini-
tially in the on condition. You do not need to use the
depth button to
switch the instrument on.
(2) When the instrument is on, the operation of the depth button will
perform other operating functions, as described below.
Displayed information
The ST60+ Tridata instrument screen is divided into three separate areas, each of
which displays a separate type of information, as shown in the following
illustration.
WARNING: Calibration requirement
To ensure this product performs at its best on your boat, you
MUST calibrate it before use, in accordance with the instructions
in
Chapter 4, Calibration . Do NOT use the product until you have
successfully calibrated it.

1.2 Normal operation
Use the flow charts in this Chapter to operate your ST60+ Tridata instrument.
Flow charts are provided for:
•Usingthedepth button. This gives access to current depth information. On
master instruments, this also gives access to depth alarm level information,
and allows you to set the alarm levels.
•Usingthespeed button. This gives access to maximum speed, average speed
and Velocity Made Good (VMG) to windward.
•Usingthetrip button to gain access to log, trip, water temperature and timer
information.
All button presses are momentary unless otherwise stated.
Depth information
Use the depth button to select the required information, as shown in the Using
the depth button
illustration. The depth measurement units are either feet or
metres, as selected during user calibration (see
Chapter 4, Calibration ).
Using with fishfinder products
Depth information is normally obtained from the Depth transducer, fitted as part
of an ST60+ Depth or Tridata system. However, when the ST60+ Tridata
instrument is connected to a SeaTalk system, to which a compatible fishfinder is
also connected, the depth information is provided by the fishfinder all the time the
fishfinder is switched on.
Current depth display
The current depth screenshows the title DEPTH, the selected depth units and the
depth measurement. It also shows a depth trend indicator, which is either an up
arrow to show seabed rising or a down arrow to show seabed falling.
If for any reason depth information is lost, the DEPTH title will flash once per
second and the displayed depth value will be the last good reading.

Depth alarm level displays
Alarm displays are available if the instrument is operating as a master. Each
display is identified by the presence of an alarm symbol ( )and either an up
depth trend arrow for a shallow alarm or a down depth trend arrow for a
deep alarm. The shallow and deep anchor alarms are identified by means of an
additional anchor symbol ( ).
You can enable and disable individual alarms by pressing the reset button for
2 seconds, while the relevant alarm screen is displayed.
Each alarm screen is displayed for a nominal 7 seconds, and if no action is taken
during that time, the display will timeout to the current depth display.
