viii | ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Manual |
In a SeaTalk system, each instrument can be either a master or dedicated repeater unit. A master instrument is directly connected to a transducer (the device that provides the raw data), and provides data and control for the service it is providing, to all other equipment on the SeaTalk network. A slave instrument is not directly connected to a transducer but repeats information provided by other equipment in the SeaTalk network.
Stand alone operation
In Stand alone operation, the ST60 Tridata instrument is connected only to the relevant transducer and does not display information from, or provide information to, any other instruments.
Remote control
When connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Tridata instrument can be controlled remotely by a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit, to provide instant remote access to the various display readouts.
Mounting options
If you do not want to surface mount your ST60 instrument, options are available for:
•Flush mounting. If you have ordered the flush mounting option a low- profile bezel and four fixing screws are also provided.
•Bracket mounting.
