This handbook describes how to operate, maintain and install the Raymarine ST60 Wind instrument and ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument. These instruments show:

•Wind speeds and directions

•Velocity Made Good (VMG) information, when boat-speed information is available,

•Tack angle, when heading information is available.

CAUTION: Calibration requirement

The ST60 Wind instrument and the ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument are calibrated to factory (default) settings when first supplied. To ensure optimum performance on your boat, these products must be calibrated before use. Do NOT use either one of these products until it has been calibrated using the procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration.

If the CAL legend on the digital display flashes for the first 30 seconds after any power up, use the appropriate procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration to:

1.Apply the factory defaults.

2.Carry out the linearization procedure.

Displayed information
