ii ST60 Graphic Display Commissioning Guide
CAUTION: Setup requirement
The ST60 Graphic Display is calibrated to factory (default) settings
when first supplied. To ensure optimum performance on your boat, this
product must be setup before use. Do NOT use the product until it has
been setup using
the procedures in Chapter 2, Preparation for Use .
EMC Installation Guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry
standards for use in the recreational 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. 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 the product.
The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC
performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of
these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for
EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always
ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of
electrical equipment.
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever
possible :
• Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
• At least 3 ft (1 m) 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 7 ft (2 m).
• More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can
normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radi-
ating element.
• The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for
engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power supply to our prod-
ucts, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This
will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some informa-
tion and may change the operating mode.
• Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables
can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so
is detailed in the installation manual.
