Types of connection
The ST60 Wind instrument and the ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument can each be connected to SeaTalk, as repeater instruments.
The ST60 Wind instrument, can also be connected:

•To fulfil both repeater and master roles by being connected both to the trans- ducer and to SeaTalk.
Instruments connected to SeaTalk derive their power directly from SeaTalk and no separate power connection is necessary. Where a SeaTalk system includes an autopilot, the power for the system is provided by the autopilot.
A range of Raymarine SeaTalk extension cables is available to connect separated instruments. These cables are supplied with a SeaTalk connector fitted to each end. A junction box can be used to join cables.
Signal connections
Make the necessary connections to your ST60 instrument (see the Connection to ST60 Wind instrument illustration). Although all possible connections are shown:
•You can connect only one transducer type (either Rotavecta or Wind Vane), to an ST60 Wind instrument. Do NOT attempt to connect both types, even if both are fitted.
Note: If at any time, the transducer type is changed (e.g. a Wind Vane is connected in place of a Rotavecta), use the procedures in Chapter 4, Calibration to apply the factory de- fault settings, then carry out the linearization and alignment procedures.
•The ST60 Close Hauled Wind instrument can only be connected to SeaTalk; it does not have transducer connectors.
