Introduction
Safety notices
WARNING: Electrical safety
Make sure you have switched off the power supply before you service this product.
Product disposal
Waste Electrical and Electronic (WEEE) Directive
The European WEEE Directive requires that waste electrical and electronic equipment is recycled.
Products carrying the crossed out wheeled bin symbol (illustrated above) must not be disposed of
in general waste or landfill, but in accordance with local regulations for such products.
Although the WEEE Directive does not apply to all Raymarine products, we support its policy and ask you
to be aware of the correct method for disposing of such products.
Please contact your local dealer, national distributor or Raymarine Technical Services for information on
product disposal.
1.1 Diagnostics
In the unlikely event that a problem occurs with an ST70 product, use this section to resolve the situation.
First considerations
If an ST70 product is not performing as it should:
• Ensure it is being operated in accordance with the relevant Operating Guide:
• Ensure that any data that seems to be missing is actually available to the product. For example, if wind
data is not available, there will be no wind-related data either.
• If specific data types are missing or incorrect:
• Check the relevant Transducer and Pod, including the connections between them and to the system.
• If speed readings are missing or obviously wrong, the speed transducer paddle wheel could be fouled
and need cleaning
• Take into account any changes that may have been made to any associated electrical system. Such
changes could affect the performance of an ST70 product.
• Be aware that radio signals transmitted in the proximity of an ST70 product could affect the performance
of the product.
If you are satisfied that the problem is not due to any of the above, use the diagnostic tools below to isolate the
cause of the problem.
Diagnostic tools
The following tools are available to aid diagnosis:
• About Display function.
• Self test function

System requirement
When carrying out a software upgrade, you can use either
• An existing operational SeaTalk system to which the Raymarine E-Series Display and ST70 are both con-
nected.
or
• A discrete SeaTalk2 or SeaTalkng terminated backbone from which the Raymarine E-Series Display and
ST70 are spurred off, as in the following illustration.

Getting started
Prepare the CompactFlash for use as follows:
1. Plug the CompactFlash memory card into the CF card slot on the CompactFlash card reader. The card and
reader are keyed so the CF card will only fit in the slot one way. Ensure it is correctly oriented.
2. Connect the CompactFlash card reader to a spare USB connector on your PC.
3. Your PC will recognize the card reader as a Removable Disk, and assign it a drive letter. Your computer
may also display a window identifying the newly recognized removable disk. If such a window is displayed,
the window's title bar will specify the removable disk drive letter, e.g. Removable Disk (E:).

Transferring the upgrade files
Transfer the upgrade files to the CompactFlash card as follows:
1. Ensure the CompactFlash card reader is connected to your PC as described under Getting started above.
2. At your PC, open the directory described at step 3 under Unpacking the upgrade files above. This contains
two files:
• An autorun file, [Link]
• The upgrade file which has the product name and software version as part of the filename, and a ‘pkg’
extension.
3. Highlight both files then copy them (Ctrl/C in Windows).
4. Open the drive that was assigned to your CompactFlash reader in step 3 of Getting started above.
5. Paste both files (Ctrl/V in Windows) into the CompactFlash reader root directory.
6. Remove the CompactFlash memory card from your CompactFlash reader. The card is now ready for
upgrading your ST70.

2.2 Disassembly
The sealing washer, keypad seal and case seal must not be re-used, so before disassembling an ST70 Instru-
ment or pilot controller, ensure you have a new sealing washer, keypad seal and case seal to hand.
When disassembling an ST70 instrument or pilot controller, always take note of how the product is assem-
bled, to facilitate reassembly.
Referring to the exploded view on page 9:
1. Remove case screw and sealing washer from rear of unit. Retain the case screw but discard the sealing
washer.
CAUTION: Take care when unclipping bezel
Do not exert excessive pressure to the bezel clips as this could damage them.
2. Carefully unclip each bezel clip in turn working progressively around the perimeter of the product. At the
same time carefully apply pressure to separate the rear case from the bezel.
WARNING:Sharp edges
Do not touch the spring connectors on the front of the PCB, as these have sharp
edges and could cause injury.
3. Raise the locking bar on the Flexi connector and carefully extract the flexi tail.
4. Remove the LCD from the rear case assembly.
5. Remove the PCB from the rear case assembly. You will feel some slight resistance until the PCB SeaTalkng
connectors separate from the connectors on the rear case assembly.
2.3 Reassembly
When reassembling an ST70 Instrument or pilot controller always fit a new sealing washer, keypad seal and
case seal.
Reassemble as follows:
1. Place the PCB assembly into the rear case assembly and press it home until the SeaTalkng connectors on
the PCB are fully engaged with the connectors on the rear case assembly.
2. Replace the LCD as follows:
i. Ensure the locking bar on the Flexi connector is raised, then fully insert the flexi.
ii. Lower the locking bar fully to secure the flexi tail.
iii. If the LCD has a protective film, remove it
3. Fit the keypad seal then, ensuring that the top flange of the keypad is located under the bottom of the LCD,
place the keypad in position on the keys.
4. Remove any protective films from the bezel window.
5. Ensure that the case seal is correctly oriented, then place it in position on the bezel.
6. Firmly press the rear case assembly and the bezel together to fully engage all the clips. Pay particular
attention to the clips at the bottom of the product, to ensure they are engaged.
7. Secure the rear case assembly with the case screw and a new sealing washer. Torque the screw to
2 pound inches (0.22 Nm).
