1.1 Getting started
This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the
Raymarine ST60 Tridata instrument.
CAUTION:Calibration requirement
The ST60 Tridata instrument is calibrated to factory (default) settings when first installed and must therefore be calibrated before use, in accordance with the procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration, to ensure optimum performance on your vessel.
Do NOT use the instrument until the calibration procedures have been satisfactorily completed.
Displayed information
The ST60 Tridata instrument screen is divided into three separate areas, each of which displays a separate type of information, as shown in the following illustration.

1.2 Normal operation
Use the flow charts in this Chapter to operate your ST60 Tridata instrument. Flow charts are provided for:
•Using the depth key. This gives access to current depth information. On master instruments, this also gives access to depth alarm threshold information, and allows you to set the alarm thresholds.
•Using the speed key. This gives access to maximum speed, average speed and Velocity Made Good (VMG) to windward.
