Raymarine ST60

[FeelinLucky]

I just picked up a St60 tridata to go along with the ST60 speed,depth instruments I already have and hooked it up per directions and I'm not getting any info on it

I know that the individual instruments are the masters and the Tridata is the repeater, and still no readings I checked all the regular stuff wire connections ect... (i connected it with a seatalk connector is there something I'm missing??)

any help will be appreciated.. Thank you

I do not think that the ST60 Tri- Data is "just a repeater". It stands on its own. I would think it should work, but one question---where did you get it used? They are quite easy to blow (as one who has done it) with a crossed wire.

Sailor's Exchange, FL... it does power up, just no data displayed, vs/ depth info is displayed on the regular unit? Q? is the sea talk cable all I need?

The tridata can act either as a stand alone or as a repeater. If your main speed and depth instruments are working and you hook the tridata up using a sea talk cable, it should work. If not, send it back to S.E.

The data cables only have very low voltages and currents and are easily corrupted by even a very small amount of corrosion. The power supply can often still function.
Try some alternative cables, cleaning the contacts, and connecting it a different way, say directly to the depth.

Make sure your Tridata is set as the Repeater and not the Master.
• Check the instrument status - either YES (master)) or NO (repeater) in the Intermediate Calibration.

Capt Dan is right...Thank you for all of the advice. I think it's a matter of a bad instrument, it's going back...

Make sure you do as Replusted suggests. He is correct in that you have to select master or repeater.
