ST60 Speed Instrument Owner’s Manual
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 transducer
The ST60 Speed instrument is supplied, with a through-hull Speed
transducer.
The Speed transducer is supplied with detailed instructions for
installation and maintenance. Before attempting to install the Speed
transducer, read these instructions and the
Site requirements
for
transducers described in this Chapter.
Once you are satisfied you can meet all the installation requirements,
install the transducer in accordance with the accompanying installation
instructions.
Running transducer cable
Each transducer type has a 14 m (45 ft) cable fitted with spade terminals
for connection to the ST60 Speed instrument. The manner in which you
run the cable will depend on the locations of the transducer and
instrument.
Observing the following guidelines, run the transducer cable to the ST60
Speed instrumen:
•
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.
•
Do not route the cable through bilges.
•
Wherever possible, route the cable away from fluorescent lights,
engines, radio transmitting equipment, as these may cause interfer-
ence.
