ST290 Instrument System Owner’s Handbook
Chapter 1: Setup overview
1.1 Introduction
Use the instructions in this Section to prepare your ST290 system for use.
EMC conformance
Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is
not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.
In some installations, it may not be entirely possible to prevent the
equipment from being affectedby externalinfluences. Although this will
not damage the equipment, it can lead to spurious resetting action, or
momentarily may result in faulty operation.
Setup requirement
WARNING:Setup requirement
Usingthe ST290systemwith incorrect settings applied couldcausea
safety hazard. In particular, the transducer calibration and
autopilot commissioning procedures must be carried out, before
using the ST290 system for operational purposes.
Setup procedures are presented as follows:
• Graphic Displays - Section 7, Chapter 2.
• Data Displays - Section 7, Chapter 3.
• Analog instruments - Section 7, Chapter 4.
• Autopilot - Section 8, Chapters 4 & 5.
Transducer calibration
The transducer calibration procedures optimize the performance of the
transducers with the rest of the system, and so are a mandatory part of the
User Setup procedures.
Note: Transducer calibration procedures can be carried out from any
Graphic Display.
Autopilot setup
If you have one or more Pilot Keypads fitted as part of your ST290
system, you must carry out the Autopilot Commissioning procedures
