Navico's NAC-2 VRF Autopilot Core bundle consists of an NAC-2 autopilot computer, a Precision-9 compass and a NMEA2000 backbone starter kit.
NAC-2 Autopilot Computer
The NAC-2 autopilot computer is the centre of your Navico autopilot system. Through reflex control algorithms, the NAC-2 steers your yacht in various weather and sea conditions. Designed for boats up to ten metres (35 feet) in length, the NAC-2 is suitable for low-current hydraulic steering pumps, mechanical drive units, or solenoid valves, with a constant current of 8 amps (12 amps max.). In addition, the NAC-2 comes with an NMEA2000 interface for easy connection to course sensors and rudder feedback units.
Simple plug and play installation. Input voltage: 12 - 24 volts.
Precision-9 Compass
The Precision-9 Compass delivers accurate heading and rotation speed information to autopilots, radars and navigation systems via NMEA 2000®. The solid-state sensors continuously measure movement and course parameters via nine axes. In addition, the Precision-9 compass also provides information about heeling, rolling and pitching motions on compatible devices. An easily adjustable mounting bracket and connection via a single data cable allow installation on board almost every boat, including installation on the mast of boats with steel hulls.
The Precision-9 compass is waterproof (IPX7). (See SVB item no.
81519).
NMEA2000 Starter Kit
The NMEA2000 Backbone Starter Kit consists of a power cable, a 4.5 meter backbone cable, three T-pieces, and two terminators (terminal resistance).
