Connecting the instrument

Types of connection

The ST60+ Depth instrument, can be connected:

• As a stand-alone, master instrument connected directly to the Depth trans-

ducer.

• As a SeaTalk repeater.

• To fulfil both repeater and master roles by being connected both to the trans-

ducer and to SeaTalk.

If instruments are connected to SeaTalk, 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.

Fitting ferrites

If you are going to connect a Depth transducer to an ST60+ Depth instrument, fit

suppression ferrites near the instrument end of the SeaTalk and transducer cables,

as follows.

1. Release the catch on the ferrite, open it up then snap it closed around the

cable.

2. Position the ferrite as close as possible to the instrument end of the cable

(maximum 1 foot (300 mm) from the end) and fit a tie-wrap on the cable

either side of the ferrite, to hold it in position.
