9 Chapter 2: Maintenance and Fault Finding Chapter 2: Maintenance and Fault Finding 2.1 Maintenance Servicing and safety • Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised 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.
10 ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner’s Handbook Periodically clean your ST40 instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do NOT use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the instrument. Transducers Refer to the Installation and Maintenance instructions supplied with the transducers. Cabling Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield and, where necessary, replace and re-secure. 2.

15 Chapter 3: Installation Chapter 3: Installation This chapter describes how to install the ST40 Bidata instrument, and associated transducers. The transducers are fitted in the hull of the vessel and is connected to the rear of the instrument. 3.1 Planning your installation Determine the best positions for both transducer and instrument, such that the EMC installation guidelines and the Site requirements (below) are satisfied.
16 ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner’s Handbook • The equipment is supplied from a different battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power supply to our products, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode. • Raymarine specified cables are used at all times.

18 ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner’s Handbook Other transducer types are available for specific requirements. For further details, contact your local Raymarine dealer. The transducers should be sited within the clear water flow areas indicated by the shaded areas below. Sailing vessel Planing power vessel Displacement power vessel Transducer siting D4349-1 Each transducer should also: • Be ahead of the propellers (by a minimum of 10% of the water line length ).

20 ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner’s Handbook 3.2 Procedures Adapt these procedures as appropriate, to suit your individual requirement. CAUTION: Where it is necessary to cut holes (e.g. for cable routing and instrument mounting), ensure that these will not cause a hazard by weakening critical parts of the vessel’s structure. If in doubt, seek the advice of a reputable boat builder. Fitting transducers Instructions for installing and maintaining the speed and depth transducers are packed with them.
21 Chapter 3: Installation Connections to the instrument You can connect your instrument: • Directly to the speed and depth transducers as a stand-alone master instrument. When connected in this manner, the instrument must be connected to a suitable power source using the 1 m (3 ft) power cable provided. • As part of a SeaTalk system either as a repeater or, with a transducer also connected as a system master. To connect to SeaTalk, you will need an additional SeaTalk Interconnection Kit (Part No.

26 ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner’s Handbook D4646-1 To bracket mount your ST40 instrument, do so in accordance with the Instruction Sheet, which is included with the Desktop Mounting Bracket. 3.3 Calibration requirement Once installation is complete and before you use your instrument, carry out the calibration procedures detailed in Chapter 4, Calibration. 159_2c03.
27 Chapter 4: Calibration Chapter 4: Calibration 4.1 Introduction The procedures in this Chapter must be carried out before the equipment is used operationally, to optimise the performance of the instrument with the vessel. Calibration information is presented in flow chart form. The flow charts show the various calibration screens and key presses necessary to carry out calibration. All key presses are momentary unless otherwise stated.
28 ST40 Bidata Instrument Owner’s Handbook • Set the required depth offset. • Lock the shallow alarm, to prevent unauthorised changes during normal operation. Power up the instrument then follow the procedure in the User calibration flow diagram. This diagram shows the User calibration sequence for an ST40 Bidata operating as a master instrument for both speed and depth . 159_2c04.

31 Chapter 4: Calibration Depth offsets WARNING: The use of incorrect offset values could result in misleading depth information being displayed with a consequent risk of running aground. The depth offset screen enables you to determine the exact point on the vessel from which depths are measured. This point can be: • The transducer. Set offset to zero. With zero offset applied, the screen header is OFST. • The bottom of the keel.
