 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
ST60 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.

105_3int.p65 5 06/04/01, 11:36

 vi ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind Instrument Owner’s Handbook

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 360o apparent 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 -60o to +60o about 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.

105_3int.p65 6 06/04/01, 11:36

 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.

 Chapter 1: Operation 1

Chapter 1: Operation
1.1 Getting started
This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the
Raymarine ST60 Wind instrument and ST60 Close Hauled Wind
instrument. These instruments show:
• Wind speeds and directions
• Velocity Made Good (VMG) information, when boat-speed
information is available,
• Tack angle, when heading information is available,

Calibration requirements
Your ST60 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.
If the CAL legend on the digital display flashes for the first 30 seconds
after any power up, use the appropriate procedures in Chapter 4,
Calibration to:
1. Apply the factory defaults.
2. Carry out the linearisation procedure.

Displayed information
The information on the ST60 Wind and ST60 Close Hauled Wind
instruments is presented in analogue form (pointer) and on a digital
display. This information can be either true or apparent, depending on
which mode is selected.

Pointer
The pointer shows the true or apparent wind direction. The scale range
given by the ST60 Wind instrument is a full 360o, whereas the ST60
Close Hauled Wind instrument gives an expanded indication from -
60o to +60o about the bow or stern of the boat.

105_3c01.p65 1 06/04/01, 11:52

required threshold value. You can set:
• The maximum (MAX) and minimum (LO) true wind speed, to
any value between 0 and 99 kts. Conflicting threshold values
cannot be set, i.e. you cannot set the MAX threshold to a lower
value than the LO.
• High (HI) and low (LO) apparent wind angle, to any value from
0 to 180o.
3. Momentarily press the vmg and tack keys to leave the threshold
adjust mode.
Note: The alarm threshold screens are not available on repeater

Chapter 2: Maintenance and Fault Finding

2.1 Maintenance

Servicing and safety

• Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised
Raymarine service engineers. There are no user-serviceable parts in
any Raymarine product.
• Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the
cables/connectors when power is being applied to the equipment.
• Always report any EMC related problem to your nearest
Raymarine dealer. We will use any such information to improve
our quality standards.
When requesting service, please quote equipment Type, Model
Number and, if possible, Software Release Issue. The Software
Release Issue can be ascertained by means of the Intermediate
Calibration facility, see Chapter 4, Calibration.

Instrument
Certain atmospheric conditions may cause condensation to form on
the instrument window. This will not harm the instrument and can be
cleared by increasing the illumination setting to Level 3.
Periodically clean your ST60 instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do
NOT use chemical and abrasive materials to clean the instrument.

Transducer
If the windvane is removed from its mounting block for any reason
(e.g. if the mast is stepped), fit the blanking cover (supplied) to the
windvane mounting block connector.

Cabling
Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield and,
where necessary, replace and re-secure.

2.2 Fault finding

Preliminary pr
Preliminary ocedur
procedures
ocedures
Changes in the electronic environment may adversely affect the
operation of your ST60 equipment. Typical examples of such changes
are:
• Electrical equipment has recently been installed or moved aboard
your vessel.
• You are in the vicinity of another vessel or shore station emitting
radio signals.
If you appear to have a problem, first ensure that the EMC
requirements (see Chapter 3, Installation) are still being met before
further investigating the problem.

Fixing faults
All Raymarine products are subjected to comprehensive test and
quality assurance programmes prior to packing and shipping.
However, if a fault occurs, the following table may help to identify and
rectify the problem.

Fault Cause Remedy

 Chapter 3: Installation 9

Chapter 3: Installation
This chapter describes how to install the ST60 Wind and ST60 Close
Hauled Wind instruments, and associated wind transducer.
You can use any one of three Raymarine wind transducer types in
conjunction with the ST60 Wind instruments:
• Cruiser wind vane. Typically mounted on a mast head.
• Competition wind vane. Typically mounted on a mast head.
• Rotavecta. Typically mounted on a rail or radar arch.
The transducer is connected to the rear of the instrument.
Note: The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument does not connect
directly to a wind transducer.
For advice, or further information regarding the installation of this
equipment, please contact the Raymarine Product Support Department
or your own National Distributor.

3.1 Planning your installation

Before starting the installation, spend some time considering the best
positions for both transducer and instrument, such that the Site
requirements and the EMC Guidelines are satisfied.

Site requirements
Transducer
Each transducer type has a cable connected, and is supplied with a
junction box and a set of spade terminals.
The transducer location must:
• Allow reasonable access for installation and servicing.
• Be as high as possible and away from any equipment which may
shield the transducer or otherwise disturb the air flow.
• Provide a horizontal mounting surface. If a surface (e.g. mast top) is
otherwise suitable but not horizontal, make up a suitable wedged
packing piece to provide the necessary horizontal surface.
There must also be a viable route for the transducer cable to be routed
to the instrument.

CAUTION:
The presence of moisture at the rear of the instrument could cause
damage either by entering the instrument through the breathing
hole or by coming into contact with the electrical connectors.
ST60 instruments can be fitted either above or below deck, provided
the rear of the instrument is sited where it is protected from contact
with water.
Each instrument must also be positioned where:
• It is easily read by the helmsman
• It is protected against physical damage
• It is at least 230 mm (9 in) from a compass
• It is at least 500 mm (20 in) from radio receiving equipment
• There is reasonable rear access for installation and servicing

EMC guidelines
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 EMC performance is not
compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they
will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what
factors could affect the operation of this product.
To minimise the risk of operating problems:
• All ST60 instruments, transducers and associated cabling should
be:
• At least 1 m (3 feet) from any equipment transmitting or cables
carrying radio signals, e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In
the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2 m (7
ft).
• More than 2 m (6 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam
can normally be assumed to spread 20o above and below the
radiating element.
• The equipment should be supplied from a different battery than the
one used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power
supply to our products can cause the equipment to reset. This will
not damage the equipment, but will cause the loss of some
information and can change the operating mode.
• Genuine Raymarine cables should be used at all times. Cutting and
rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so
should be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation
manual.
• If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not
be removed. If the ferrite has to be removed during installation it
must be reassembled in the same position.

Suppression ferrites
The following illustration shows the typical range of suppression
ferrites fitted to Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites
specified by Raymarine.

105_3c03.p65 11 06/04/01, 10:47

 12 ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind Instruments Owner’s Handbook

Connections to other equipment

If your Raymarine equipment is going to be connected to other
equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression
ferrite MUST always be fitted to the cable close to the Raymarine unit.

3.2 Procedure
As it is not possible to describe procedures for all possible installation
scenarios, the procedures given here describe the broad requirements
for installing wind transducers and ST60 Wind instruments. Adapt
these procedures as appropriate, to suit your individual requirement.

CAUTION:
Where it is necessary to cut holes (e.g. for cable routing and
instrument mounting), ensure that these will not cause a hazard by
weakening critical parts of the vessel’s structure.

Unpacking
Unpack your ST60 instrument and check that the items described in
the Introduction are present:
Each ST60 instrument is supplied with a standard bezel for surface
mounting. Optional mounting kits are available for flush mounting and
bracket mounting the instrument. If you have ordered the flush
mounting option a low-profile bezel and four fixing screws are also
provided.

Fitting the instruments

The ST60 Wind and ST60 Close Hauled Wind instruments can be
installed using one of a number of different mounting options:
• Surface mounting. Gives a profile of approximately 24 mm.
• Flush mounting. Gives a profile of approximately 6 mm.
• Bracket mounting.

105_3c03.p65 12 06/04/01, 10:47

 Chapter 3: Installation 13

The ST60 instruments can also be mounted behind a panel with just
the instrument dial and keys visible.

Surface mounting
To surface mount your ST60 instrument (see the Surface mounting
illustration):
1. Ensure that:
• The selected location is clean, smooth and flat.
• There is sufficient space behind the location to accommodate
the rear of the instrument and connectors.
2. Apply the surface mount template (supplied at the rear of this
handbook) to the selected location and mark the centres for the
fixing studs (1) and the aperture (3) that will take the rear casing of
the instrument.
3. Drill out the two 5 mm fixing stud clearance holes (2).
4. Cut out the clearance hole (3) then remove the template.
5. Peel off the protective sheet from the self-adhesive gasket (4) then
stick the gasket into position on the rear of the instrument.
6. Screw the two fixing studs into the threaded sockets on the rear of
the instrument.
7. Mount the assembled instrument, studs, bezel and gasket into the
panel. Secure from behind with the thumb nuts (5).

 14 ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind Instruments Owner’s Handbook

Flush mounting
The Flush Mounting Kit uses a low-profile bezel to reduce the fitted
profile of the instrument, to approximately 6 mm above the panel
fascia.

Fitting the low-profile bezel

In order to flush-mount your ST60 instrument, you must first replace
the standard bezel with the low-profile bezel as follows:
1. Hold the instrument in both hands with the display towards you.

D4537-2

2. Using both thumbs, gently press an upper corner of the instrument

from the bezel, then remove the bezel from the instrument. Retain
the rubber keypad which is released when the bezel is removed.
3. Place the instrument face upwards on a flat surface and place the
rubber keypad (7) in position around the display window (i.e. so
that each key outline is located over its associated key on the
instrument).
4. Snap the low-profile bezel (8) in position over the instrument, so
that the rubber keys are correctly located in the holes on the bezel.

CAUTION:
It is essential that only screws of the correct size are used to secure
the instrument to the bezel. Failure to observe this caution could
result in damage to both the instrument and the bezel.
5. Using the four, self-tapping screws (9) provided, secure the
instrument and bezel together. Fit the screws from the rear of the
instrument and tighten them sufficiently to secure the instrument
and bezel together. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

6. Screw the two fixing studs (1) into the threaded sockets on the rear
of the instrument.
7. Mount the assembled instrument, studs, bezel and gasket into the
panel.
8. Locate the flush mount bracket (6) onto the fixing studs and
secure the assembly to the panel with the thumb-nuts (5).

Bracket Mounting
A Control Unit Mounting Bracket (Part No. E25009) enables you to
mount your ST60 instrument in locations where other forms of
mounting are impractical. Although this provides a useful alternative
method for securing your instrument, it is only suitable for use in
positions where the instrument will not be exposed to water.
To bracket mount your ST60 instrument, do so in accordance with the
Control Unit Mounting Bracket Instruction Sheet.

Fitting transducers
If you are fitting an ST60 Wind instrument and wish to use it as a
master instrument, you must also fit a wind transducer.

105_3c03.p65 16 06/04/01, 10:47

 Chapter 3: Installation 17

Note: An ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument can only be used as a

repeater instrument so a directly-connected transducer is not required.

Typical windvane installation

A windvane is typically mounted on a mast top, as follows:
1. With the threaded end of the windvane mounting block facing
forwards, mark the position of the two self-tapping screws.
2. Drill two holes using the 4 mm (5/32 in) drill bit (supplied).
3. Apply sealing compound to the bottom of the mounting block.

Rotavecta
The Rotavecta can be clamped to a 23 mm or a 25 mm rail by means of
an integral clamp. To fit a Rotavecta:
1. Dismantle the integral clamp, and ensure the pointed end of the
grub screw does not protrude through the top of the lower clamp
section.
2. If the rail is 25 mm diameter, set aside the two spacers. If the rail is
between 23 mm and 25 mm diameter, place the spacers in the
lower part of the clamp.
3. Offer up the lower part of the clamp (and spacers if used)
underneath the rail.
4. Place the rail mount disc on the upper side of the rail and place the
upper part of the Rotavecta on top of this, so that all the screw
holes are in alignment.
5. Secure all sections together using the two fixing screws, but do not
fully tighten at this stage.
6. Ensure the main shaft of the Rotavecta is vertical, then tighten the
two fixing screws.
7. Screw in the grub screw, to pinch the rail.

Running transducer cable

General
Each transducer type is supplied with sufficient cable already
connected, to run from the mounted position to the ST60 Wind
instrument. The manner in which you run the cable will depend on the
locations of the transducer and instrument. The following guidelines
are provided:

105_3c03.p65 18 06/04/01, 10:47

 Chapter 3: Installation 19

• If the cable has to be fed through the deck, always use a proprietary
deck gland.
• Where cables are fed through holes, always use grommets to
prevent chafing.
• Secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard.
• If the transducer is mounted on a masthead or other structure likely
to be removed for maintenance or storage purposes (e.g. a mast),
always incorporate a junction box into the cable run as close as
possible to the cable entry point into the vessel, to facilitate
disconnection when required.
• The transducer cable is fitted with spade connectors for direct
connection to the rear of the instrument. However, it may be
necessary to remove these to facilitate installation, e.g. if you want
incorporate a junction box in the cable run or if the cable has to be
routed through narrow apertures. Extra spade connectors are
provided, to replace any that are removed when running the cable.
In order to ensure a secure connection when fitting spade
connectors, fold back the wire strands as shown in the following
illustration, before inserting the wire in the spade connector. Ensure
the wire strands do not extend beyond the rear of the spade
connector insulation.
4 mm

3 mm

Preparing wire for connection D4467-2

From masthead
If the transducer is fitted on a masthead:
1. Remove the spade connectors from the free end of the cable, then
feed the free end of the cable down inside the mast.
• If the mast is a through-deck mast, feed the cable out through a
suitable below-decks aperture.
• If the mast is deck stepped, feed the cable through the deck,
using a proprietary deck gland.
2. Fit the junction box inside the vessel, close to the cable entry point.
3. Run the cable to the junction box, then allowing sufficient cable to
connect inside the junction box, cut the cable and connect each
wire at the free end of the cable from the transducer, to a separate
connector inside the junction box.

105_3c03.p65 19 06/04/01, 10:47

 20 ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind Instruments Owner’s Handbook

4. Connect each wire at one end of the remaining cable to the same-
coloured wire inside the junction box.
5. Run the cable from the junction box to the ST60 Wind instrument.
6. Crimp new spade connectors onto the wires at the instrument end
of the cable, as described above.

Connecting the instruments

Types of connection
The ST60 Wind instrument and the ST60 Close Hauled Wind
instrument can each be connected to SeaTalk, as repeater instruments.
The ST60 Wind instrument, can also be connected:
• As a stand-alone instrument connected directly to the wind
transducer.
• To fulfil both repeater and master roles by being connected both to
the transducer and to SeaTalk.
Instruments connected to SeaTalk derive their power directly from
SeaTalk and no separate power connection is necessary. Where a
SeaTalk system includes an autopilot, the power for the system is
provided by the autopilot.

105_3c03.p65 20 06/04/01, 10:47

 Chapter 3: Installation 21

A range of Raymarine SeaTalk extension cables is available to connect

separated instruments. These cables are supplied with a SeaTalk
connector fitted to each end. A junction box can be used to join cables.

Signal connections
Make the necessary connections to your ST60 instrument (see the
Connection to ST60 Wind instrument illustration). Although all
possible connections are shown:
• You can connect only one transducer type (either Rotavecta or
Wind Vane), to an ST60 Wind instrument. Do NOT attempt to
connect both types, even if both are fitted.
Note: If at any time, the transducer type is changed (e.g. a Wind Vane
is connected in place of a Rotavecta), use the procedures in Chapter 4,
Calibration to apply the factory default settings, then carry out the
linearisation and alignment procedures.
• The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument can only be connected to
SeaTalk; it does not have transducer connectors.

Power supply connections

SeaTalk systems

CAUTION
When instruments are connected to SeaTalk, ensure that the
power supply for the SeaTalk 12 V line is protected by a 5 A fuse.
Systems with a large number of instruments on the SeaTalk bus may
require connections to the power supply from each end of the system
(‘ring-main’ style), to maintain sufficient voltage throughout the
system.
This requirement depends on the total length of the cable run and the
total number of instruments in the system, as follows:

 Chapter 4: Calibration 25

Chapter 4: Calibration
4.1 Introduction
The ST60 Wind instruments are set up with factory-programmed
default settings, so in order to optimise the performance of the
instruments on board a particular vessel, the procedures in this Chapter
must be carried out immediately after the completion of installation,
and before the equipment is used for navigational purposes.
Where practicable, the calibration procedures are presented
diagrammatically to show the sequence of key presses and the
resulting displays. Adjustment instructions are given as applicable.

EMC conformance
• Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that
it is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.
• In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the
equipment from being affected by external influences. Although
this will not damage the equipment, it can lead to spurious resetting
action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.

4.2 User calibration

The User calibration procedures:
• Linearise and align the wind transducer.
• Select the required wind speed units

Linearising and aligning the wind transducer

This procedure ensures that the sensors in the windvane transducer are
correctly calibrated to record rotation of the windvane, then
compensates for any small errors which may exist in the alignment of
the wind transducer.
To do this:
1. Power-up the ST60 Wind instrument.
2. Slowly turn the vessel through two complete circles. This
procedure automatically linearises the windvane. A successful
linearisation is indicated by the digital display flashing and the
buzzer sounding three beeps.

105_3c04.p65 25 06/04/01, 10:47

 26 ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind Instruments Owner’s Handbook

3. Hold down the disp and true/app keys for approximately

2 seconds to enter User calibration then use the disp key to select
the wind angle screen (see the User calibration flow diagram).
4. Sail directly into the wind and adjust the analogue pointer to zero,
using the vmg and tack keys. If you are unable to achieve the
required degree of accuracy due to sea conditions, and errors
become apparent during subsequent tack operations, repeat this
procedure to achieve alignment accuracy.
5. Display the wind speed units screen.
6. Use the vmg and tack keys to select the units you want, either
knots (KTS) or metres per second (M/S).
Note: Any speed unit changes will be applied to other SeaTalk
instruments.

4.4 Dealer calibration

The Dealer calibration procedures enable the following parameters to
be set:
• User calibration on/off.
• Wind angle and speed response.
• Velocity Made Good (VMG) response.
• Wind speed calibration.
• Boat show mode on/off.

105_3c04.p65 27 06/04/01, 10:47

 28 ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind Instruments Owner’s Handbook

Dealer calibration also gives access to the Factory defaults screen. This
enables you to re-apply the factory settings if you want to reset the
instrument to a known operating condition.
To commence Dealer calibration, hold down the disp and true/app.
keys together for approximately 12 seconds, to select the Dealer
calibration entry page (see Dealer calibration diagram, sheets 1 and 2).
Then momentarily press the vmg and tack keys to proceed with the
calibration. As the calibration progresses, use the disp key to move
from screen to screen.

User calibration on/off

Use either the vmg or tack key to toggle the User calibration either on
(UC1) or off (UC0) as required.

Response settings
The response values (for wind speed, wind angle and VMG) determine
the frequency at which information is updated. A low number provides
a smooth response and a high number a much livelier response with
rapid pointer movement.
Use the vmg (decrement) and tack (increment) keys to set the
required value. Response values are from 1 to 15.

Wind speed
The Wind speed and Wind speed calibration screens are used to set the
correct value for the wind speed. On entry (from the Wind speed
response screen), the current value for apparent wind speed is
displayed. Set the correct wind speed value, by applying a calibration
factor as follows:
1. Use the vmg (decrement) and tack (increment) keys to switch
from the Wind Speed screen to the Wind Speed Calibration
screen.
2. Use the vmg (decrement) and tack (increment) keys to set the
wind speed calibration factor. Calibration factor values from 0.75
to 1.25 in 0.01 steps.
3. Timeout to the Wind Speed screen, and if further adjustment is
necessary, repeat steps 1 and 2.
