Chapter 2: Maintenance & Troubleshooting 7 Chapter 2: Maintenance & Troubleshooting 2.1 Maintenance Servicing and safety • Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised Raymarine service technicians. They will ensure that servicing procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no user-serviceable parts in any Raymarine product. • Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the cables/connectors when power is being applied to the equipment.
8 ST60 Speed 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. • You are in the vicinity of another vessel or shore station emitting radio signals.
Chapter 2: Maintenance & Troubleshooting 9 CAUTION: If you need to remove the transducer insert, have the transducer bung to hand and secure it in the transducer body immediately after the insert has been removed, to prevent excessive ingress of water.
