NX2 Autopilot Package Options
Autopilot Package Options
Accuracy, high performance and simplicity of use are key features of the NX2 Autopilot, specifically designed for sail and power boats from 32-60 feet.
Whether the need is for improved navigational accuracy, minimized fuel consumption or simply more enjoyable yachting, the NX2 Autopilot provides
precision steering under all sea conditions. Factory default settings and automatic calibration allow easy operation with minimal operator input, yet
user adjustable settings make it possible to fine tune it for every vessel. Use it as a standalone autopilot or connect it to the NEXUS Network to have
the ultimate in Instrument/Autopilot integration.
The Autopilot system consists of five components:
1. Autopilot Instrument 20620044
Choose from two instrument control alternatives:
• Fixed control via the Autopilot instrument
• Handheld control via the Remote Control instrument
All instruments control the Autopilot in four steering modes:
• Compass mode. Steer after a set compass heading
• Nav mode. Steer after a waypoint set by an optional navigator
• Wind mode. Steer after a wind angle, from the optional wind transducer and server or Wind Data display.
• Powersteering mode. Powersteer the rudder. May be used to avoid heavy wheel effort when manoeuvring.
All instruments offer a dual display of compass heading and digital rudder angle indicator
2. 35° Compass 20640007
The extremely stable fluid damped compass provides very accurate steering information. It will guide the Autopilot when
you need it the most, which is in rough weather.
3. Servo (distribution) Unit 20100001
