12 20222147A
1.7 Heading Sensors
The autopilot must be used with the Simrad RC36 Rate compass.
The RC36 is a fluxgate compass with integrated rate sensor. It
provides a dramatic improvement to the dynamic performance of
both the autopilot and a stabilized radar display.
1.8 Optional equipment
A series of optional equipment are available for the basic AP26
and AP27 systems.
R3000X Remote Control
A small handheld remote control with two push buttons for
power steering or course selection (port and starboard), and one
push button with built-in lighted indicator for limited mode
change.
JS10 Joystick
The JS10 Joystick is a Non-Follow-Up steering lever designed
for indoor and outdoor console mount. It has a spring-loaded
return-to-mid-position feature and is equipped with 10 m (33’) of
cable and installation hardware.
TI25 Thruster Interface
The TI25 Thruster Interface is designed to provide a control
signal for operating a thruster interfaced to an AP25 system. It
operates on/off solenoids, or a Danfoss PVEM valve. The
Danfoss valve is a proportional valve that will provide full
thruster performance with the output from TI25. The thruster
output signal is calculated in the TI25 based on the mode of
operation and the heading information. Set-up is from the control
unit communicated via Robnet2. All settings are stored in the
thruster interface unit.
Refer to the TI25 manual.
Note ! TI25 must have software version 1.1.01 onwards.
Multiple stations
Multiple control units can be added to the system.
