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.
