Evolution Autopilot with p70Rs control head, ACU-150 & EV1 without power unit compatible with Type 1 12V hydraulic pump

The Raymarine Evolution Autopilot T70407 is an autopilot system designed for hydraulic steering systems. It integrates an EV-1 sensor, an ACU-150 actuator control unit, and a p70Rs control head, providing an advanced steering solution for vessels equipped with this type of steering.

The T70407 kit includes the following main components:

The EV-1 sensor for heading, pitch, roll, and yaw detection.The ACU-150 actuator control unit, specifically for Type 1 hydraulic pumps (12 V).The p70Rs control head, with its rotary interface and buttons for intuitive control.

Note that this kit does not include a power unit (pump).

This autopilot is specifically designed for hydraulic steering systems. The ACU-150 unit is suitable for type 1 hydraulic pumps operating at 12 V.

The EV-1 sensor is at the core of the Evolution system. It provides heading, pitch, roll, and yaw data across 9 axes, enabling precise trajectory management. It stands out for its ability to operate without requiring complex calibration.

The p70Rs control head provides intuitive operation with its rotary interface and buttons. It features a clear color display and prioritizes rotary ergonomics for easy menu navigation, setting it apart from push-button models.

No, the Evolution system, with its EV-1 sensor, is designed to provide precise course-keeping without requiring complex calibration.

The system communicates via the SeaTalk NG network. This ensures seamless integration with other compatible Raymarine equipment, such as multifunction displays (MFD) and navigation instruments.

No, this Raymarine Evolution Autopilot T70407 kit is supplied without a power unit (pump). It is designed for boat owners who wish to upgrade their autopilot system while retaining their existing Type 1 12 V hydraulic pump.

The ACU-150 actuator control unit is specifically designed to be compatible with Type 1 hydraulic pumps operating at 12 V.

Yes, the Evolution Autopilot T70407 system communicates via the SeaTalk NG network, ensuring seamless integration with compatible Raymarine multifunction displays (MFD) and other navigation instruments.

Yes, the system is scalable. It allows the addition of other SeaTalk NG compatible sensors or devices to extend navigation and monitoring capabilities on board.

When installing the EV-1 sensor, it is critical to mount it in a stable location, away from electromagnetic interference and ferromagnetic objects that could affect its accuracy. A safe distance from the compass must also be maintained.

Yes, it is essential to respect the safe distance of the compass for all system components. This ensures that the ship's magnetic compass operation is not disrupted by the electromagnetic fields of the devices.

The system is designed to operate with a 12 Volt DC power supply. The ACU-150 unit is specifically suited for 12 V type 1 hydraulic pumps.

Yes, it is mandatory to install an inline fuse to protect the system. The nominal values of the fuse and thermal circuit breaker are specified in the product’s technical documentation.

SeaTalk NG connections must be made following the wiring diagrams. The SeaTalk NG network is a data and power bus that requires proper termination at each end and a single power supply point.

For wiring, it is recommended to use appropriate cable types and lengths, to respect the cable bend radius, to ensure proper strain relief and adequate shielding. The use of suppression ferrites may also be necessary to minimize electromagnetic interference.

Yes, after installation, it is recommended to perform post-installation checks to ensure the system is functioning correctly. This includes configuring the autopilot system and adjusting rudder damping levels and deadband angles.

Regular software updates for your product are available via the official Raymarine website. It is recommended to check the site for the latest versions to ensure the system performs optimally.

Components can generally be surface-mounted or installed on a bracket, depending on the component type and desired location. Mounting templates are often provided to facilitate accurate and scaled installation.
