Product details

NAC-2 Autopilot Core Pack:

Comprising of the low-current NAC-2 autopilot computer, Precision-9 compass and NMEA2000 backbone kit. Ideal for smaller vessels, designed to run small hydraulic drives and mechanical drives for vessels up to 10 meters (33 feet) in length. NAC-2 Autopilot Computer The NAC-2 Autopilot Computer is the brains behind your autopilot system. NAC-2 contains the control algorithms developed to helm a yacht across a broad range of weather conditions and sea-states, alongside the electronics needed to operate a hydraulic or mechanical drive unit, while also interfacing with other components including heading sensors and rudder feedback units. The NAC-2 was designed for boats up to 10 metres (33 feet) in length and is suitable for low-current hydraulic drives, mechanical drives, or solenoid valves with a current rating of 8 Amps continuous (16 Amps peak). 

Precision-9 Compass 

The Precision-9 Compass supplies heading and rate-of-turn information to Simrad, B&G and Lowrance autopilot, radar and navigation systems. Based on reliable solid-state sensor technology, this compact compass offers easy installation aboard any vessel. Heading, Rate Of Turn (ROT), roll, and pitch output over NMEA 2000® Heading and ROT calculated using sensor data from 9 axes of rotation and motion Accurate and reliable solid-state sensor technology Heading accuracy of ±2° after calibration Easily adjustable mounting bracket allows bulkhead or up-mast installation IPX7 waterproof. Best in class. Simple installation with a single NMEA 2000® connection

Easy Installation and Setup

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 Continuum steering performance. Plug-and-play connectors minimise the need for manual wiring and facilitate easy installation. Industry-standard NMEA 2000® networking offers reliable connectivity to sensors, autopilot controllers, and multifunction displays located anywhere on board. Auto-tuning simplifies setup and ensures optimal steering performance, while automatic compass calibration continuously improves heading accuracy as you travel.
