Calculador de pilot automàtic NAC-3

The NAC-3 autopilot computer is designed for larger boats, typically over 10 meters (35 feet), that require high-current power units such as hydraulic pumps or powerful mechanical actuators.

The NAC-3 computer is compatible with 12V DC and 24V DC electrical systems. It can operate within a voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC.

The NAC-3 is very versatile in terms of connectivity. It features the following ports:

NMEA 2000 (via a Micro-C port) for modern integration.NMEA 0183 (bidirectional port) for compatibility with older equipment.SimNet compatibility to integrate into existing Navico systems.

The NAC-3 controller is designed to manage power units (pumps, actuators) with a maximum consumption of 750 W. It can deliver high continuous current for demanding applications.

A 30-ampere fuse is recommended on the NAC-3’s power feed line to provide adequate system protection.

The NAC-3 processor is part of the Navico ecosystem and is designed to integrate seamlessly with multifunction displays from Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G.

The NAC-3 autopilot computer is designed to operate within a temperature range of -25°C to +55°C (-13°F to 131°F).

The NAC-3 is a more powerful version than the NAC-2. It is designed for larger vessels and can handle power units (pumps and actuators) with higher energy demands, featuring a higher output current and a maximum power consumption of 750 W.

During installation, ensure the NAC-3 computer is placed at least 500 mm (20 inches) away from any magnetic compass to prevent interference.

Yes, the NAC-3 integrates advanced autopilot algorithms for sailing, including an intelligent wind mode that automatically switches between apparent wind angle (AWA) and true wind angle (TWA) for optimal performance.

The NAC-3 autopilot computer weighs 0.7 kg (1.6 lbs).

SteadySteer is a technology that allows manual control of the helm without having to disable the autopilot. The autopilot disengages automatically when you turn the helm and re-engages when you hold it steady.

Yes, the NAC-3 includes pre-programmed turning patterns that can be activated from a compatible display. These patterns include maneuvers such as circles or zigzags, useful for certain fishing or search activities.

The typical power consumption of the NAC-3 depends entirely on the power unit (pump or actuator) connected to it. The controller itself has very low power draw; most power is consumed by the rudder actuator.

The NAC-3 has a Load Equivalency Number (LEN) of 1 on the NMEA 2000 network. This corresponds to the standard electrical load of a device on the network, useful information for designing your NMEA 2000 network.

The NAC-3's NMEA 0183 port is versatile and supports multiple communication speeds (baud rates): 4.8, 9.6, 19.2 and 38.4 kbaud, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices.

The NAC-3 autopilot computer is covered by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.

The NAC-3 controller is specifically designed for large vessels requiring high-power hydraulic units.

Maximum consumption: up to 750 W for hydraulic cylinders and pumps.Power supply: compatible with 12 V and 24 V DC systems.Protection: requires a recommended 30 A fuse.

The NAC-3 processor integrates seamlessly with multifunction displays from Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G.

In terms of network connectivity, it supports:

NMEA 2000: via a standard Micro-C port. NMEA 0183: bidirectional port for communication with older equipment. SimNet: compatibility ensured for existing installations.

The calculator housing has an IPX5 waterproof rating, effectively protecting it against water spray in a marine environment.

During installation, it is important to maintain a minimum safety distance of 500 mm (50 cm) from any magnetic compass to avoid interference.
