Autopilot Core Pack
This pack includes the Simrad NAC-2 autopilot computer, Precision-9
solid-state compass, plus all cabling and connectors required to build an NMEA
2000? network backbone or connect your autopilot system to an existing NMEA
2000? network. To create a complete Simrad Continuum autopilot system, just add
a hydraulic pump or mechanical drive unit to suit your steering system, and
choose a dedicated autopilot controller or Simrad multifunction display.
NAC-2 Autopilot Computer
The NAC-2 Autopilot Computer is recommended for boats up to 10 metres (35
feet) in length. It delivers standard power output of up to eight amps
continuous and 16 amps peak, plus a clutch output; this is suitable to operate
low-current drive pumps including the Simrad RPU80, mechanical drives such as
the Simrad SD10, hydraulic linear drives such as the HLD350, and solenoid
valves.
Multiple Control Options
Choose from a range of dedicated autopilot controllers, or control your
autopilot from your existing multifunction display or glass bridge with full
Simrad display integration. Install extra autopilot stations, ideal for
dual-helm vessels, or add the Simrad WR10 wireless remote for instant steering
and autopilot control from anywhere on board.
Virtual Rudder Feedback
Simrad Virtual Rudder Feedback (VRF) technology eliminates the need to
install a mechanical rudder feedback unit aboard outboard and sterndrive
(inboard/outboard) boats. VRF technology greatly simplifies autopilot
installation while delivering uncompromising Simrad Continuum steering
performance.
Simrad Precision-9 Compass
The Precision-9 Compass supplies accurate heading and rate-of-turn
information to your autopilot and other onboard systems over an NMEA 2000?
connection. Heading is determined by an internal array of solid-state sensors
that constantly measure motion and orientation on nine axes. The Precision-9?s
solid state technology is not only accurate and precise, but also exremely
reliable with no internal moving parts. An easily adjustable mounting bracket
and single-cable connection allow simple installation aboard any vessel,
including up-mast mounting suitable for interference-free operation with steel
hulls.
Automatic Tuning and Calibration
Auto-tuning simplifies setup and ensures optimal steering performance.
Automatic compass calibration improves heading accuracy as you travel, using
data gathered by the Simrad Precision-9?s internal array of solid-state sensors.
Easy Installation
Plug-and-play connectors facilitate easy installation, minimising the wiring
necessary to install your autopilot system. Industry-standard NMEA 2000?
networking offers simple connectivity to sensors, autopilot controllers, and
multifunction displays located anywhere on board.
