16 ST60 Depth Instrument Owner’s Handbook
3.2 Procedures
As it is not possible to describe procedures for all possible installation scenarios,
the procedures given here describe the broad requirements for installing depth
transducers and the ST60 Depth instrument. Adapt these procedures as
appropriate, to suit your individual requirement.
CAUTION:
Where it is necessary to cut holes (e.g. for cable routing and
instrument mounting), ensure that these will not cause a hazard
by weakening critical parts of the vessel’s structure.
Unpacking
Unpack your ST60 equipment and check that the items described in the
Preface
are present.
Each ST60 instrument is supplied with a standard bezel for surface mounting.
Optional mounting kits are available for flush mounting and bracket mounting
the instrument. If you have ordered the flush mounting option a low-profile bezel
and four fixing screws are also provided.
Fitting the instrument
The ST60 Depth instrument can be installed using one of a number of different
mounting options:
• Surface mounting. Gives a profile of approximately 0.95 in (24 mm).
• Flush mounting. Gives a profile of approximately 0.25 in (6 mm).
• Bracket mounting.
The ST60 instruments can also be mounted behind a panel with just the
instrument dial and keys visible.
Surface mounting
To surface mount your ST60 instrument (see the
Surface mounting
illustration):
1. Ensure that:
• The selected location is clean, smooth and flat.
• There is sufficient space behind the selected location to accommodate the
rear of the instrument and connectors.
2. Apply the surface mount template (supplied at the rear of this handbook) to
the selected location and mark the centers for the fixing studs (1) and the
aperture (3) that will take the rear casing of the instrument.
