GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Autohelm
6000 is a modular automatic pilot
system that can be built up to match the
individual requirements of all types of sailing and
power vessels. The rudder drive system may be
selected from a range of rotary, linear and
hydraulic systems, and the control system can be
customised to suit the layout of the vessel and the
owners individual requirements. All control units
are watertight and may be externally mounted
when necessary.
The most comprehensive installation is
illustrated in (Fig. 1) and provides for up to three
control units, together with a fluxgate compass
and optional wind vane course sensors. Provision
is also made for the addition of a Loran ‘c’ or
Decca Radio Navigation Interface. The most
basic installation would consist only of a central
course computer, fluxgate compass, drive unit
and a single control unit.
