ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner's Handbook Document number: 81159_2 Date: 1st May 2001 Copyright © Raymarine Limited 2001 Preface i Important information WARNING Although your ST40 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 ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner's Handbook Preface iii Contents Important information .......................................................... i WARNING ......................................................................... i EMC conformance ............................................................. i Handbook information ....................................................... i Preface ..................................................................................... v Parts supplied ................................................................... vi Chapter 1: Operation ............................................................. 1 1.1 Introduction ................................................................. 1 Display ....................................................................... 1 1.2 Operating procedures .................................................. 2 Display action ............................................................. 2 Silencing alarms ......................................................... 2 1.3 Alarms ......................................................................... 7 Alarm indications ....................................................... 7 Shallow alarm ........................................................ 7 Deep alarm ............................................................. 7 Anchor alarms ........................................................ 7 Enabling/disabling alarms .......................................... 8 Chapter 2: Maintenance and Fault Finding ........................ 9 2.1 Maintenance ................................................................ 9 Servicing and safety ................................................... 9 Instrument ................................................................... 9 Transducer ................................................................ 10 Cabling ..................................................................... 10 2.2 Fault finding .............................................................. 10 Preliminary procedures ............................................ 10 Fixing faults .............................................................. 10 Assistance ................................................................. 13 iv ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner's Handbook Chapter 3: Installation ......................................................... 15 3.1 Planning your installation ......................................... 15 EMC installation guidelines ..................................... 15 Suppression Ferrites ........................................... 16 Connections to Other Equipment ......................... 16 Tools required .......................................................... 16 Site requirements ...................................................... 17 Transducers .......................................................... 17 Instrument ............................................................ 19 3.2 Procedures ................................................................. 20 Fitting transducers .................................................... 20 Running transducer cable .................................... 20 Connections to the instrument .................................. 21 Stand-alone connections ...................................... 22 SeaTalk connections ............................................ 23 Fitting the instrument ............................................... 23 Desktop Mounting Bracket .................................. 25 3.3 Calibration requirement ............................................ 26 Chapter 4: Calibration ......................................................... 27 4.1 Introduction ............................................................... 27 EMC conformance ................................................... 27 4.2 User calibration ......................................................... 27 Depth offsets ............................................................ 31 4.3 Intermediate calibration ............................................ 31 4.4 Dealer calibration ...................................................... 32 Instrument Specification .................................................... 35 Glossary ................................................................................. 37 Index ...................................................................................... 39 Preface v Preface Thank you for purchasing a Raymarine product.

If an instrument is purchased separately, transducers are not included. If any item is not present, contact your Raymarine Dealer. D4730-2 Chapter 1: Operation 1 Chapter 1: Operation 1.1 Introduction Your ST40 Bidata instrument: · Provides speed information (current, maximum and average), in either knots (KTS), miles per hour (MPH) or kilometres per hour (KPH). · Provides log and trip information. These are given in either nautical miles (NM), statute miles (M) or kilometres (KM). · Provides water temperature information. This is given in either degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F). · Provides depth information in either feet (FT), metres (M) or fathoms (FA). · Records the minimum depth encountered during the period it is switched on. You can reset this at any time. · Enables you to define alarm thresholds for shallow water, deep water, shallow anchor and deep anchor. · Enables you to see what offset is applied to the depth reading. Note: The required speed, distance, depth and water temperature units are selected during User calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration). CAUTION Your instrument is calibrated to factory (default) settings when first supplied and must therefore be calibrated before use, to ensure optimum performance on your vessel. Do NOT use the instrument until the calibration procedures have been satisfactorily completed, using the procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration. Coloured bezel and Desktop Mounting Bracket options are available for your ST40 instrument. Contact your Raymarine dealer for further information. Display The ST40 Bidata display comprises upper and lower data areas, each of which shows either depth or speed information, selected as shown in the following illustration. 2 ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner's Handbook DEPTH SPEED SPEED DEPTH Selecting where speed and depth information is displayed D4733-2 1.2 Operating procedures Operating information is presented in flow chart form. The flow charts show the various operating screens and key presses necessary to carry out the various instrument functions. Key presses are momentary unless otherwise stated. Note that: · Up/down depth-trend arrows are displayed, if the seabed is rising or falling at a significant rate. · The minimum depth reading is reset to zero at power up. · The maximum speed reading is reset to zero at power up. · The average speed reading is reset to zero at power up. · The Log screen shows the total distance covered by the vessel since the ST40 Bidata instrument was fitted. · The trip reading is reset to zero at power up. Display action During normal operation (see Normal operation flow charts), the Speed, Depth and Water temperature screens are permanent screens, i.e. once one of these is selected, it will remain until another screen is manually selected. All other screens are temporary and after 5 seconds, will time out to the permanent screen which was last displayed for 5 seconds or more. Silencing alarms To silence an alarm (see the Alarms section, later in this chapter), momentarily press any one of the instrument keys.
