2.1Maintenance

Servicing and safety

•Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine ser- vice technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in any Raymarine product.

•Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables/connec- tors when power is being supplied to the equipment.

•When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimize these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equip- ment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

•Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We use such information to improve our quality standards.

•In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.

Instrument

Certain atmospheric conditions may cause condensation to form on the instrument window. This will not harm the instrument and can be cleared by increasing the illumination setting to Level 3.

Periodically clean your ST60 instrument with a soft damp cloth. Do NOT use chemical and abrasive materials to clean the instrument.

Transducer

If the wind vane is removed from its base for any reason (e.g. if the mast is stepped), use the protective cap (attached) to protect the connector on the wind vane base.
