81266_1.book Page 1 Monday, December 5, 2005 9:28 AM 1 Chapter 1: Operation 1.1 Getting started This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the Raymarine ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator Instrument. The instrument provides a real-time indication of rudder position as determined by the associated Rudder Reference Transducer.
81266_1.book Page 2 Monday, December 5, 2005 9:28 AM 2 ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator Instrument Owner’s Handbook from the Rudder Angle Indicator Transducer and passes the information via the SeaTalk bus. 1.2 Normal use As the ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator operates in real time, very little operator action is necessary during normal use except to observe the instrument as required to ascertain the rudder angle.
81266_1.book Page 3 Monday, December 5, 2005 9:28 AM Chapter 1: Operation 3 reach the level you want. The selected level is transmitted to all other instruments on the SeaTalk bus. 3. Press any other button to leave the illumination-adjust mode. Note: The display will return to normal operation 7 seconds after the last button press. 1.3 Remote control The ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator does not support the SeaTalk remote control facility. You can control the instrument only with the front panel buttons.

81266_1.book Page 5 Monday, December 5, 2005 9:28 AM 5 Chapter 2: Maintenance & Troubleshooting 2.1 Maintenance Servicing and safety • Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized 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.
81266_1.book Page 6 Monday, December 5, 2005 9:28 AM 6 ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator Instrument Owner’s Handbook Cabling Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield, and where necessary, replace and re-secure. 2.2 Troubleshooting Preliminary procedures Changes in the electronic environment may adversely affect the operation of your ST60+ equipment. Typical examples of such changes are: • Electrical equipment has recently been installed or moved aboard your vessel.

Ensure that: • The panel on which you intend to mount the instrument is between 0.12 in (3 mm) and 0.78 in (20 mm) thickness. • The selected location is clean, smooth and flat. • There is sufficient space behind the location to accommodate the rear of the instrument and connectors. 3.
81266_1.book Page 17 Monday, December 5, 2005 9:28 AM Chapter 3: Installation 17 If you are fitting an ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator instrument as part of a system which includes a SeaTalk autopilot, the transducer must be connected directly to the autopilot. The ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator will then act as a slave to the autopilot.

81266_1.book Page 18 Monday, December 5, 2005 9:28 AM 18 ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator Instrument Owner’s Handbook Connecting to the tiller CAUTION: Orient the transducer arm correctly As the Rotary Rudder Reference Transducer arm movement is limited to ±60°, ensure that you install the transducer so the arm is opposite the point of cable entry when the rudder is amidships. Failure to do this could result in damage if the arm is driven onto its end stops by the steering system.
81266_1.book Page 19 Monday, December 5, 2005 9:28 AM Chapter 3: Installation 19 Note: Variation within the given limits will not degrade autopilot performance but will slightly alter the scaling of the ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator display. 3. Cut the threaded rod to length and screw one lock-nut and ball socket onto each end of the rod. 4.
