ST30 Round Bidata Owner's Handbook Document number: 81075_4 Date: 1st April 2001 Copyright © Raymarine Limited 2001 Preface i Important information WARNING Although your ST30 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. The design and manufacture of Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Handbook information To the best of our knowledge, the information in this handbook was correct when it went to press. However, the Raymarine policy of continuous product improvement may change product specifications without notice. Consequently, unavoidable differences may occur between the product and the handbook from time to time, for which Raymarine cannot accept liability. ii ST30 Round Bidata Owner's Handbook Preface iii

The Bidata can also display trip and log distances, sound a user-defined shallow alarm, and function as a repeater. The instrument can be surface or flush mounted and fits the standard 85.7 mm (3 3/8 inch) diameter facia apertures, common on many sports boats. The Bidata uses an easy-to-install transom mount transducer (Biducer) combining both speed and depth elements in a single housing. If the Bidata is used in conjunction with a SeaTalk autopilot, the speed input provided by the instrument enhances the pilot's steering performance. dep spe bid th ata ed dep th spe ed D1601-2 The operating procedures are presented as a combination of flow charts and text. Unless otherwise stated, the illustrated key presses are momentary. The Bidata can display depth and speed information in metric and imperial units. These are set during basic calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration). 2 ST30 Round Bidata Owner's Handbook 1.2 Depth key functions The following flow chart shows the depth key functions. bidata depth speed depth speed WATER DEPTH SHALLOW ALARM OFFSET D1763-2 Water depth Depth is displayed in feet (0 to 400 ft) or metres (0 to 120 m). Shallow alarm The shallow alarm displays the depth (feet or metres) at which point audible and visual alarms will be triggered. These alarms can be silenced by pressing the speed or depth key. Adjusting shallow depth 1. From the shallow depth alarm display, press depth and speed together momentarily to display CAL. 2. Press depth and speed together again momentarily to enter edit mode (+ and - displayed). 3. Press depth to increase and speed to reduce the displayed value. 4. Press and hold depth and speed together for 2 seconds, to exit edit mode and save the new value. Chapter 1: Operation 3 Silencing the shallow alarms Press speed or depth to silence the audible alarm for a period of two minutes. If, after 2 minutes, the water depth is still below the alarm setting, the alarm will be activated again. Note: When the audible alarm is silenced the alarm icon continues to flash. Turning shallow alarm ON and OFF 1. Ensure the shallow alarm screen is displayed. 2. Press depth and speed together momentarily to enter CAL mode. 3. Press depth to switch the alarm ON or OFF. 4. Press depth and speed together for 2 seconds to exit CAL mode. Offset This is the distance (feet or metres) from the Biducer to the bottom of the hull or to the waterline, which can be a positive (+) or negative (-) value. Default display The depth display will always default back to water depth 8 seconds after the last key press. Loss of signal If there are no depth echoes for 10 seconds, the feet/metres legend flashes and the last recorded depth is displayed until a new echo is received. 4 ST30 Round Bidata Owner's Handbook 1.3 Speed key functions The following flow chart shows the speed key functions. bidata depth speed depth speed SPEED TRIP LOG D1764-2 Speed The speed display can be either knots (Kts), miles per hour (Mph), or kilometres per hour (Kph). Trip distance Trip is the distance covered between power on and power off. This can be nautical miles (NM), kilometres (KM), or statute miles (SM). Resetting Trip Distance Press and hold the speed key until the trip distance is zeroed - distance flashes after 1 second and during the resetting process. Ships log When this value exceeds 999 NM, SM, or KM, the Bidata displays the log as thousands (th) and, after 3 seconds, hundreds, tens, and units. For example, 1525 nm would be displayed as 1th then 525. Chapter 1: Operation 5 1.4 LCD illumination bidata depth speed depth speed 1 second High (L3) Medium (L2) Low (L1) OFF (L0) D1765-2 The Bidata has four illumination settings, off, low (L1), medium (L2), and high (L3). The Bidata automatically returns to normal operation 5 seconds after the last key press. If the shallow depth alarm is activated the illumination display is ignored. 6 ST30 Round Bidata Owner's Handbook Chapter 2: Maintenance and Faultfinding 7 Chapter 2: Maintenance and Fault Finding 2.1 Maintenance Servicing and safety · Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised Raymarine service technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in any Raymarine product. · Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables/ connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment. · When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimise these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). · Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We use such information to improve our quality standards. · In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious res ...
