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 analog and digital display, to deliver accurate information under even the most demanding conditions. ST60 Wind The ST60 Wind instrument provides a 360° apparent wind scale and can be used either as a stand-alone unit, or as part of an integrated SeaTalk instrumentation system. viii ST60 Wind & Close Hauled Wind Instrument Owner's Handbook ST60 Close Hauled Wind The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument provides an expanded indication from -60° to +60° about the bow and stern of the boat, on a combined analog 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 dat ...
