Simrad NAC-D Autopilot Computer

Comprehensive Overview of Simrad NAC-D Autopilot Computer

Simrad NAC-D Autopilot Computer

Model: 000-15621-001

• SeaStar Solutions(R), Volvo(R), Yanmar(R) and Yamaha(R) approved control system interface
• Control via APTM 44, AP 48 or easily integrate with your Simrad(R) multifunction display
• No need for an additional hydraulic pump, rudder sensor, or dockside calibration
• SteadySteerTM feature included
• Steer to a waypoint, heading or set turn pattern, such as a U turn, Spiral turn and many more - the NACTM -D can even initiate a zigzag turn
• CAN-bus data connectivity - connection to Optimus(R) steering systems via the CAN-bus data network
• Full system integration with Simrad(R) navigation systems via NSSTM and NSOTM multifunction display ranges

NACTM -D is a steer-by-wire autopilot solution for Electronic Vessel Control Systems (steering systems with a digital interface).

With NAC -D, boaters with SeaStar(R) Optimus(R), Yanmar(R) VC10/JC10, Volvo(R) IPS/EVC or Yamaha(R) helm master/single engine control systems can benefit from all the full features and performance of Simrad(R) autopilots.

Requires only the connection of two Micro-C connectors - there is no requirement for an additional hydraulic pump, rudder sensor installation or dockside rudder calibration. This saves boaters' time and money.

Featuring Continuum(R) steering and support for the new SteadySteerTM, the NAC -D allows automatic switching between two speed profiles delivering optimal steering performance at both low and high speeds.

Choose the controller to suit your preference from dedicated controllers like the APTM 44 or AP 48, or simply integrate with your Simrad(R) multifunction display.

Simrad(R) autopilot systems incorporate state-of-the-art electronics and represent over 70 years of experience and development. Simrad(R) autopilots can reduce your workload and fatigue and improve your situational awareness and safety, helping you arrive fresher at your destination.
