Chapter 3: Installation

This chapter describes how to install the ST60 Wind and ST60 Close

Hauled Wind instruments, and associated wind transducer.

You can use any one of three Raymarine wind transducer types in

conjunction with the ST60 Wind instruments:

• Cruiser wind vane. Typically mounted on a mast head.

• Competition wind vane. Typically mounted on a mast head.

• Rotavecta. Typically mounted on a rail or radar arch.

The transducer is connected to the rear of the instrument.

Note: The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument does not connect

directly to a wind transducer.

For advice, or further information regarding the installation of this

equipment, please contact the Raymarine Product Support Department

or your own National Distributor.

3.1 Planning your installation

Before starting the installation, spend some time considering the best

positions for both transducer and instrument, such that the Site

requirements and the EMC Guidelines are satisfied.

Site requirements

TransducerTransducer

Transducer

Each transducer type has a cable connected, and is supplied with a

junction box and a set of spade terminals.

The transducer location must:

• Allow reasonable access for installation and servicing.

• Be as high as possible and away from any equipment which may

shield the transducer or otherwise disturb the air flow.

• Provide a horizontal mounting surface. If a surface (e.g. mast top) is

otherwise suitable but not horizontal, make up a suitable wedged

packing piece to provide the necessary horizontal surface.

There must also be a viable route for the transducer cable to be routed

to the instrument.
