1 Chapter 1: Operation Chapter 1: Operation 1.1 Introduction Your ST40 Wind instrument: • Provides apparent wind speed and direction information. Wind speed units can be either knots (KTS) or metres per second (M/S), as set during User calibration (see Chapter 4, Calibration). • Provides true wind speed and direction information, if boat speed information is available on SeaTalk. • Enables a locked apparent wind angle to be defined either manually, or automatically by a course computer.

Apparent wind If boat speed information is not present, the alarm is triggered if the APPARENT wind speed exceeds the threshold. Enabling/disabling alarm You can enable or disable the high wind speed alarm function (i.e.

7 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.
8 ST40 Wind 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. Cabling Examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer shield and, where necessary, replace and re-secure. 2.2 Fault finding Preliminary procedures If you appear to have a problem, first check the security of the connections at the rear of the instrument and reconnect any that are loose.
9 Chapter 2: Maintenance and Fault Finding Action Check fuse/circuit breaker. Display blank Check power supply. ST40 WIND D4756-2 No wind information Action Check the condition of the wind transducer cable and the security of the connections. ST40 WIND If apparrent (A) wind speed information is present but true (T) wind speed information is not, boat speed information may be missing.

11 Chapter 3: Installation Chapter 3: Installation This chapter describes how to install the ST40 Wind instrument, and associated Rotavecta wind transducer. 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. EMC installation guidelines All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment.
12 ST40 Wind 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.

Suitable rail diameters are from 23 mm (29/32 inch) to 25 mm (1 inch).
14 ST40 Wind Instrument Owner’s Handbook CAUTION: The presence of moisture at the rear of the instrument could cause damage either by entering the instrument through the breathing hole or by coming into contact with the electrical connectors.
15 Chapter 3: Installation Clamp screws Gasket Rail clamp details Adaptor pieces Grub screw Clamping methods for different rail sizes Rail diameter 23 mm (0.9 inch) or more but less than 25 mm (1.0 inch), use adaptor pieces Rail diameter 25 mm (1.0 inch), do not use adaptor pieces Using the Rotavecta rail clamp D4834-1 Running transducer cable The Rotavecta transducer has a 20 m (65 ft) cable, fitted with spade terminals at the free end, for connection to the ST40 Wind instrument.
16 ST40 Wind Instrument Owner’s Handbook Connections to the instrument You can connect your instrument: • Directly to the Rotavecta, transducer 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 wind transducer also connected as a system master.
17 Chapter 3: Installation Stand-alone connections CAUTION Ensure that the power supply for each stand-alone ST40 instrument is protected by a 3 A fuse or circuit breaker. 3 A circuit breaker Red +ve Note: A 3 A fuse can be used in place of the circuit breaker, if preferred.

23 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.
