St60 wind instrument (by 3 users)


posted by aristelo on Dec 13, 2007


we are having problem with st60 wind display,the wind speed is not functioning(brand new)
the apparent wind reading is always zero,the analog pointer works and tell the direction of the wind but no apparent wind speed is shown

we check the wire from the transducer up to the back of the display as follow

used shield as reference

blue= 4.2 vdc
green= 3.0 vdc
yellow=7.8 vdc
red= 8 vdc

as we know the yellow wire is for the wind speed signal and varrying.....

pls tell us what is the problem with the display its brand new and are we missing something?

firmware version is 7.03
I have the same problem.

I've recently installed the st60 wind instrument. It only displays the 3 dashes, no wind speed and no anolog display. I've bnen into intermediate calibration and it shows 7.05 and r1 meaning it's a repeater, but it is the Master. I've gone into the dealer calibration and switched to factory settings but this does not save after exiting even after holding down Disp and App/True.

Anyone know how to change the r1 Repeater setting to r0 Master setting?

Just installed st60 vane. The sensor (vane) has been installed for ~ 1yr and just got the instruments installed and powered. 3 instruments, depth, speed, wind. Depth works fine, speed is probably fouled. Vane analog display works, digital wind speed does not. haven't checked voltage from sensor as sensor is up mast and out of reach. What would be the best way to proceed?

You might want to double check that all of the spade connectors that are used to plug the wind transducer into the ST60 wind display are firmly plugged onto the display's terminals.

Because of the blind connection, sometimes the terminal ends up lodged between the red insulator and the spade, rather than within the spade connector itself. This results in intermittent or missing readings from one part of the sensor or more.

Also make sure the display is in Master mode. You will need to get into its setup mode to confirm this. The other possible mode is repeater, which would be used if this were a secondary readout.
