NAVpilot711C Autopilot

The FAP-7011C control unit is equipped with a 4.1-inch TFT color LCD screen. It offers QVGA resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and a typical brightness of 700 cd/m² with 8-level backlighting for optimal visibility.

The NAVpilot-711C features extended connectivity. It includes a CAN bus port compatible with NMEA2000, two NMEA0183 ports, and a dedicated USB port for maintenance. It also provides two relay contact outputs and two contact signal inputs.

Yes, the NAVpilot-711C is compatible with several advanced steering systems. It can operate with:

Volvo Penta IPS: Requires the VOLVO FAP-6300 interface kit (available as an option).Yamaha Helm Master™: Requires the YAMAHA HM FAP-6310 interface kit (available as an option).Yanmar VC10: Requires an NMEA data converter IF-NMEA2K2 (version 01.07 or later) and an AT06-2S-EC01-VCT-030 connector (available as an option).Seastar Solutions Optimus: Requires an NMEA data converter IF-NMEA2K2 (version 01.14 or later) and the Main PCM software to be « Rev. T » or later.

The NAVpilot-711C autopilot is designed to operate within an ambient temperature range of -15°C to +55°C.

Yes, the NAVpilot-711C integrates a self-learning and adaptive software algorithm. This system continuously optimizes course-keeping by dynamically adjusting to the vessel’s navigation parameters such as speed, trim, draft, currents, wind effects, and weather conditions.

The Fantum Feedback™ function is an innovative technology that simplifies autopilot installation by eliminating the need for a physical rudder feedback unit. It allows the system to operate without a traditional rudder angle sensor while maintaining precise steering performance.

The NAVpilot-711C system can manage up to 3 FAP-7011C control units per port.

The NAVpilot-711C offers advanced navigation modes for fishing:

SABIKI™ Mode: Allows the autopilot to control the vessel in reverse drift, ideal for activities such as sabiki, jigging, and trolling.
FishHunter™ Mode: Executes predefined maneuvers (box, zigzag, circle, orbit, spiral, or figure-eight) around a target identified by a Furuno sonar/depth sounder or radar. This mode can also be used for man-overboard (MOB) situations.

The NAVpilot-711C can trigger various alarms to inform the helmsman:

Course deviationRoute deviation (requires external data)Watch modeVessel speed (requires external data)Water temperature (requires external data)Depth (requires external data)Log (requires external data)Wind direction (requires external data)

The NAVpilot-711C is compatible with NMEA0183 versions 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0. It has two NMEA0183 ports.

To avoid any interference with a magnetic compass, it is recommended to maintain a safety distance of 0.50 m for a standard compass and 0.35 m for a navigation compass, relative to the FAP-7011C control unit. For the FAP-7002 processor, these distances are 0.45 m (standard compass) and 0.30 m (navigation compass).

The NAVpilot-711C autopilot offers weather settings to adjust its behavior based on conditions. These settings include AUTO/MANUAL-CALM/MODERATE/ROUGH options.

Available options for the NAVpilot-711C include:

Flush-mount kits and bracket-mount kits. Remotes, extension cables, and a junction box. An FPS8 power module pump. A VOLVO FAP-6300 interface kit.

The NAVpilot-711C features an automatic detection function. When the "Auto Detect" option is enabled, the NAVpilot automatically detects and connects to available data sources on the network. If multiple heading sensors are present, priority is given to Furuno CAN bus heading sensors, then other CAN bus sensors, and finally NMEA0183 sensors. After detection, the "Auto Detect" option reverts to "off", but the priority of data sources can be manually adjusted if required.
