• 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.
• Although the transducer cable is fitted with spade connectors for direct
connection to the rear of the instrument, it may be necessary to remove these
to facilitate installation e.g. if you want incorporate a junction box in the cable
run or if the cable has to be routed through narrow apertures. Extra spade
connectors are provided, to replace any that are removed when running the
cable. When fitting spade connectors, prepare the cable as at (a) in the
following illustration, then fold back the wire strands and insert into the
spade connector as at (b). Ensure the wire strands do not extend beyond the
rear of the spade connector insulation, then crimp the connector to the wire.
Connecting the instrument
Introduction
The ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator instrument can be connected:
• To the transducer as a stand-alone instrument.
• To SeaTalk.
Instruments connected to SeaTalk derive their power directly from SeaTalk and no
separate power connection is necessary. Where a SeaTalk system includes an
autopilot, the power for the system is provided by the autopilot.
A range of Raymarine SeaTalk extension cables is available to connect separated
instruments. These cables are supplied with a SeaTalk connector fitted to each
end. A junction box can be used to join cables.
