It provides precise navigation and heading hold, integrating Volvo-Penta® Steer-by-Wire technology for smooth and responsive handling. This system is positioned as a dedicated solution within the Reactor 40 range, offering specific integration where hydraulic or mechanical versions would require additional interfaces.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAHRS Technology and Heading Precision\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The system's core is the Reactor 40 central computing unit (CCU), featuring a 9-axis solid-state Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS). This technology allows flexible installation in almost any orientation while minimizing heading errors and reducing power consumption by up to 20%. The CCU, measuring 91.4 mm in diameter and weighing 159 g, is housed in a high-impact plastic, fully waterproof enclosure compliant with IEC 529 IPX7 standards, with an operating temperature range of -15°C to 55°C. It connects via NMEA 2000 with a 9 to 16 V power input and an LEN of 3 (150 mA).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGHC™ 50 User Interface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eGHC™ 50\u003c\/strong\u003e autopilot instrument complements the system by providing an intuitive user interface. Its 5-inch (12.7 cm) WVGA touchscreen with an 800 x 480 pixel resolution ensures excellent readability in full sunlight. The screen is protected by an edge-to-edge glass with anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coating, housed in a fully waterproof polycarbonate enclosure (IPX7). The GHC 50 stands out for its extended connectivity via NMEA 2000, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and ANT+®, enabling wireless control via compatible Garmin devices such as the Reactor remote or quatix® smartwatches. It also supports data sharing with Garmin multifunction displays (MFD), offering complete integration of the navigation system.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Features and Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    This kit supports advanced autopilot features such as heading hold, pre-programmed turns, wind hold, and tacking\/jibing (when paired with a compatible wind sensor). It can also support route tracking and Auto Guidance+™ functions when connected to a compatible Garmin chartplotter. The Shadow Drive™ technology (available as an option on other Reactor 40 systems) allows the autopilot to disengage automatically when the helm is manually turned, providing increased flexibility. Compatibility with this specific kit must be verified with the manufacturer. The system responds quickly to marine conditions, such as pitch and roll, to maintain the desired heading with optimized power consumption. Calibration is simplified by the Dockside Wizard and Sea Trial Wizard assistants, which guide the user through the necessary steps.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Volvo Penta","offer_id":55860419101012,"sku":"010-02794-06","price":3298.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/main_780e989d-cbc7-4343-aa7f-136b10d80a5e.jpg?v=1779193062","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-gb\/products\/garmin-reactor-40-steer-by-wire-volvo-penta-ghc50-autopilot","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
