Chapter 1: Operation
1.1 Getting started
This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the Raymarine
ST60+ Depth instrument. Your ST60+ Depth instrument provides depth
information, plus maximum and minimum depth alarms.
Switching on and off
All the time that power is applied to the instrument, you can use the
depth
button to switch the instrument off and on as follows:
• To switch the instrument off, hold down the
depth
button for approximately
5 seconds. After this time, a switch off count down of 4 seconds occurs. Keep
the
depth
button pressed during this period, to switch off the instrument.
• To switch the instrument back on, hold down the
depth
button for approxi-
mately 1 second.
When the power supply is switched off, none of the instrument buttons (including
depth
) has any effect.
Notes:
(1)
Each time power to the instrument is switched on, the instrument is ini-
tially in the on condition. You do not need to use the
depth
button to
switch the instrument on.
(2)
When the instrument is on, the operation of the
depth
button will
perform other operating functions, as described below.
1.2 Normal operation
Use the flow charts in this Chapter to operate your ST60+ Depth instrument. The
flow charts show the sequence of button presses and displays for the various
operating tasks. All button presses are momentary unless otherwise stated.
Depth information
When power is switched on, the
depth
button gives you access to the current
depth, minimum depth and maximum depth readings. Refer to the
Depth
information flow diagram (below) to access the information you want.
