Simrad AP70MK2 Large Autopilot System start kit. Comes with AP70MK2 Controller, AC85 Cabinet and SI80 PCB. Add up to 3x AD80/SD80 PCBs as required for installation on the vessel. Add another AC85 cabinet for up to 6 computer boards in the system. Product Overview
AP70MK2 is at the heart of our flexible Professional Autopilot system designed to meet the needs of mariners aboard a variety of professional vessels. With both non-SOLAS and SOLAS system configurations available, it delivers professional autopilot performance to everyone from the small and fast SAR vessels, professional fishing vessels and workboats, all the way up to large commercial vessels.
Flexible Autopilot Computers
The AP70MK2 system includes a range of base computer boards, providing a variety of industry standard control signals to control systems.
AD80 Analog Drive delivers analog signal control using voltage or low level current.
SD80 Solenoid Drive delivers on/off or proportional control using galvanic isolated solenoid valves or high level current.
SI80 Signal Interface ensures NMEA0183 interfaces to other systems onboard for navigation, heading data and more.
SG05 PRO is an IMO Approved CAN-BUS Autopilot Computer for direct connection to Volvo EVC systems.
AC70 is a non-SOLAS autopilot computer, for direct drive of reversible hydraulic pumps or non-isolated solenoids, a common choice for workboats.
These computer boards are combined into IMO approved Autopilot Computers like AC80A, AC80S and AC85 to suit any vessel configuration.
A Variety of Remotes
AP70MK2 Systems can include multiple stations and controllers, like FU80 Follow-Up, NF80 Non-Followup and QS80 Quick-Stick Steering levers delivering your preferred way of steering the vessel in a small and easily placed formfactor. The computer boards also have inputs for the older style heavy duty NFU Remotes like S35 and S9, the JS10 Joystick and R3000X Handheld NFU Remote.
Feedback is Important
Support for all common rudder feedback solutions, including Frequency, Current, Voltage and NMEA2000. From the small RF300 and RF25N rudder feedbacks, the medium duty RF45X and RF70N, and the heavy duty RF14XU, as well as a variety of 3rd party solutions.
Thruster Integration
A total of 6 drives can be controlled by the AP70MK2 system. After the rudder(s), you can integrate the thrusters onboard by adding AD80 and SD80 Interfaces. The thrusters can be set to engage automatically below a user-defined speed threshold, and configured separately for normal and Work modes.
