EV-100 Wheel Autopilot

Enhance the safety and efficiency of your vessel with the user-friendly Raymarine Evolution EV-100 Wheel Autopilot package. Tailored specifically for sailboats, this package includes the P70s Control Head, which offers push-button functionality, advanced LED backlighting, and a broad 160-degree viewing angle. With this setup, conveniently monitor the display from various positions without any hassle.

The EV-1 Sensor Core consolidates state-of-the-art solid-state sensors with the Evolution autopilot processor in a compact and straightforward housing. This system effectively tracks pitch, roll, yaw, and heading through its 9-axis monitoring system. Leveraging aerospace guidance technology, the Evolution Ai control algorithms enable instantaneous autopilot responses to changes in sea conditions and vessel dynamics. Additionally, the user-friendly start-up wizard facilitates quick and effortless pilot configuration, eliminating the need for compass calibration.

The fully enclosed wheel drive included in this package ensures exceptional autopilot performance. It is compatible with most wheel types and facilitates simple and reliable installation. This solution is ideally suited for smaller to mid-size sailboats with a maximum displacement of 16,500 lbs.

Notably, the EV-1 Sensor Core presents a range of impressive features. Housed in a rugged enclosure, it meets the IPX6 and IPX7 waterproofing and submersion standards. Mounted either above or below decks, this sensor core provides precise monitoring of vessel motion in three dimensions, including heading, pitch, roll, and yaw. With its solid-state sensor technology, it delivers dynamic accuracy within 2° under any conditions. Moreover, it features auto-compensation for onboard magnetic fields, ensuring reliable heading accuracy even in extreme northern and southern regions. Furthermore, it provides fast and dependable heading data for various applications, such as MARPA, radar overlay, and heading modes on Raymarine multifunction displays. The SeaTalk ng connectivity enables seamless integration with the control head and ACU, simplifying the overall setup.

The P70s Control Head boasts several noteworthy features as well. Primarily designed for sailboats, it operates through push-button controls. Its advanced LED backlighting not only consumes low power but also offers vivid color and contrast. With its wide horizontal and vertical viewing angles, the display remains easily visible from various positions. The user-friendly LightHouse interface ensures a simple and efficient user experience. The 3.5" LED display provides a wide 160° viewing angle, while the start-up wizard streamlines the pilot configuration process. Additionally, the anti-reflective coating enhances visibility in bright sunlight. The P70s Control Head supports multiple autopilot modes and offers system and group dimming/illumination capabilities. It also provides seamless connectivity through SeaTalk ng, NMEA 2000, and SeaTalk 1, eliminating the need for bridging.

The main purpose of the ACU-100 Actuator Control Unit is to provide consistent power for autopilot operation and to distribute power to the SeaTalkNG network, ensuring dependable performance. Specifically tailored for Raymarine's unique wheel-drive and tiller-drive applications, this unit establishes a robust interface between the steering system, EV-1 course computer, and 9-axis sensor. Its completely sealed design allows for above-deck mounting, making it ideal for space-constrained boats.

Lastly, the EV-100 Wheel Drive, which comes fully enclosed, ensures easy installation and outstanding autopilot performance. It is compatible with most wheel types and incorporates a simple yet robust clutch engagement mechanism.
