ST60 Close Hauled Wind

The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument provides an expanded indication from -60°to +60° about the bow and stern of the boat, on a combined analog and digital display.

Data inputs

SeaTalk

SeaTalk enables a number of compatible instruments to operate as a single, integrated navigational system. Instruments in a SeaTalk system are linked by means of a single cable, which feeds both power and data. Instruments can therefore be added to the system by plugging them into the network. SeaTalk is flexible enough to adapt to any number of compatible instruments without requiring a central processor. SeaTalk can also communicate via an appropriate interface with non-SeaTalk equipment, using the internationally-accepted National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol.

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 Wind instrument is connected only to the relevant transducer and does not display information from, or provide information to, any other instruments.

Note: The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument operates only as a SeaTalk repeater. It can- not be connected directly to a wind transducer.

Remote control

When connected to SeaTalk, the ST60 Wind and Close Hauled Wind instruments can be controlled remotely by a SeaTalk Remote Keypad Unit, to provide instant remote access to the various display readouts.
