Connect the moulded power plug to either SeaTalk connection on the rear of the instrument. Run the free end back to the vesselÕs distribution panel. 2.
8 ST30 Depth Operation and Installation Handbook 1.5 Connection to adjacent ST30 instruments The ST30 Depth is supplied with a daisy-chain cable that allows adjacent ST30 instruments to be linked together. The daisy-chain cable supplies power to adjacent instruments and allows data to be transmitted and received via the SeaTalk bus. The daisy-chain cable plugs into one of the SeaTalk ports on the back cover. Incorrect orientation is not possible as the ports and plugs are matched.
9 Chapter 2: Transducer Installation Chapter 2: Transducer Installation 2.1 Connection to instrument The ST30 Depth transducer is supplied with 10m (32.5ft) of cable. This cable plugs directly into the back of the instrument. + + SEATALK DE PT H + + D629 2.2 Transducer type The ST30 Depth system is supplied (as standard) with a plastic through hull transducer. This is suitable for use with Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), Steel and Aluminium hulls.
ST30 Depth Operation and Installation Handbook 10 2.3 Installation All depth transducers are supplied with detailed installation and maintenance instructions. These instructions, together with the following notes, should be read thoroughly before attempting to install the transducer. 10° Max D630 1. The ST30 Depth transducer must be within 10° of the vertical, forward, aft and athwart ships and within the shaded clear flow areas as shown.
11 Chapter 2: Transducer Installation 2. Run the transducer cable back to the instrument. Avoid fluorescent lights, engines, radio transmitting equipment and the speed transducer cable. The transducer cable should also be kept clear of bilge's, where possible, and be secured at regular intervals. Note: The transducer cable must not be shortened. Shortening of this cable will affect the performance of the unit. For further information, please contact Autohelm or an authorised agent.
ST30 Depth Operation and Installation Handbook 12 Chapter 3: Fault Finding All Autohelm products are, prior to packing and shipping, subject to comprehensive test and quality assurance programmes. However, if a fault arises with the ST30 Depth, the following table will help to identify the probable cause and provide the most likely cure.
13 Chapter 4: Maintenance Chapter 4: Maintenance 4.1 Instrument Atmospheric conditions may cause condensation to appear on the instrument window. This will not harm the instrument and can be cleared by increasing the illumination setting to level 3. Chemical and abrasive materials must not be used to clean the ST30 Depth instrument; if the instrument is dirty, clean with a soft, damp cloth. 4.2 Transducer Refer to the Installation and Maintenance instructions supplied with the transducer. 4.
ST30 Depth Operation and Installation Handbook 14 Chapter 5: Operation The ST30 Depth leaves the factory set to: • display depth in feet • with the deep and shallow alarms switched off • in master mode These settings can be changed in calibration (see section 6.1). When the ST30 Depth is switched on, the instrument will display current water depth in the units set up in calibration.

ST30 Depth Operation and hstallalion Handbook 20 Offset The instrument measures the water depth below the transducer. To display water depth below the keel or to the surface an offset must be set up. A negative offset is used to reduce the displayed value and give depth below the keel, a positive offset will give water depth to the surface.
