The OP12 wired remote seamlessly integrates with Simrad
autopilot systems to provide intuitive mode control, course adjustments, and
power steering. Designed to complement the low-profile design of Simrad glass
bridge instruments and displays, this remote can be combined with the IS42
Colour Instrument Display to create a standalone autopilot controller, or used
as a dedicated autopilot keypad for NSS and NSO evo2 multifunction displays.

Intuitive operation
A simple pushbutton interface makes the OP12 easy to use in rough conditions,
and reliably responsive to wet or gloved hands. Dedicated auto and standby
buttons enable or disable the autopilot with a single press, so it’s easy to
free your hands from the wheel or instantly take control whenever you need to.
The ‘mode’ button engages NoDrift steering or navigates to the current waypoint
on your Simrad chartplotter, while dual port and starboard buttons allow course
adjustments in one-degree or ten-degree increments. Smartly shaped buttons let
you distinguish between increments at a touch, for safe operation in low
visibility.
Easy installation
The OP12 is simple to mount, and offers single-cable NMEA 2000® connectivity
for both power and data. Multiple keypads can be installed to offer autopilot
control from anywhere on board, perfect for dual-helm vessels.
Autopilot control with IS42 display
Pair the Simrad OP12 keypad with an IS42 Colour Instrument Display to create
a fully functional control head for your compatible Simrad autopilot system.
Leverage Simrad Continuum autopilot technology to steer to a set course,
maintain your heading against wind and tide with No Drift steering, and fish or
cruise easier with automated turn patterns and depth contour tracking.
Low-profile glass helm design
Designed to complement Simrad glass helm displays and instruments, the OP12
features modern styling with a low surface-mount profile of just eight
millimetres. A compact footprint enables mounting almost anywhere, while still
offering large buttons for easy operation by gloved hands or in heavy seas.
