Detailed description

Designed for vessels equipped with solenoid valve steering systems, the Raymarine Evolution Solenoid Autopilot (T70160) provides a complete autopilot solution. This system integrates the EV-1 sensor, the ACU-300 actuator control unit, and the p70Rs control head. It is specifically adapted to manage common solenoid valves in hydraulic tiller systems.

Evolution EV-1 Sensor Technology

The core of the system is the EV-1 sensor, a 9-axis sensor unit that continuously monitors the vessel’s heading, pitch, roll, and yaw rate. This technology enables adaptive and precise steering, eliminating the need for manual compass calibration—a step forward compared to traditional autopilot systems that required complex configuration procedures. Connection to the SeaTalk NG network ensures seamless integration and rapid data transmission within the onboard electronics.

ACU-300 Actuator Control Unit and p70Rs Interface

The ACU-300 actuator control unit is the dedicated interface for solenoid valve steering systems. Unlike the ACU-100 or ACU-150 designed for low-power drives, or the ACU-200 and ACU-400 for higher-power hydraulic pumps or linear/rotary actuators, the ACU-300 is specifically optimized for solenoid valve management, enabling compatibility with a wide range of existing steering systems. The p70Rs control head, with its color display and buttons, provides an intuitive user interface for autopilot control. It allows quick selection of steering modes, heading adjustments, and access to advanced Evolution system functions.

« Technical analysis: Raymarine Evolution Solenoid ACU-300 autopilot for solenoid valve steering »

The Raymarine Evolution Solenoid autopilot with ACU-300 is a strategic solution for owners of vessels equipped with hydraulic steering systems using solenoid valves. Its value lies in its ability to modernize an existing wheel system without requiring a full replacement of the hydraulic pump or cylinder. The ACU-300 is specifically sized to handle solenoid valve currents, making it the relevant choice for larger vessels or specific applications where this type of steering is already in place.

Installing this system, while facilitated by the SeaTalk NG network for data communication, requires a thorough understanding of the vessel's hydraulic circuit and the specifications of the solenoid valves. It is crucial to ensure adequate electrical compatibility and careful wiring of the ACU-300 to the valves to guarantee precise and secure rudder response. The EV-1 sensor, with its 9-axis data processing, provides significant course stability, reducing the load on the steering system and improving navigation comfort.

This model stands out from other ACU units in the Evolution range due to its specialization for solenoid valves. It is the preferred choice when seeking to retain an existing solenoid valve steering system while benefiting from Raymarine's adaptive autopilot algorithms. However, it is not suitable for vessels with steering systems based on direct electric motor pumps without intermediate solenoid valves, for which other ACU models (such as ACU-200 or ACU-400) would be more appropriate.
