24 ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Manual
Connecting the instrument
Types of connection
The ST60 Tridata instrument, can be connected:
• As a stand-alone, master instrument connected directly to a Speed and/or
Depth transducer.
• As a SeaTalk repeater.
• To fulfil both repeater and master roles by being connected both to the trans-
ducer and to SeaTalk.
If instruments are connected to SeaTalk, 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.
