Detailed description

The Raymarine R70162 bracket is a mounting accessory designed specifically for the EV Evolution sensor (EV-1). This bracket provides a secure and stable mounting solution for the EV-1 sensor, a core component of Raymarine's Evolution autopilot systems.

Mounting the EV-1 Evolution Sensor

The EV-1 Evolution sensor can be installed either on a surface or on a bracket. The R70162 bracket offers a bracket-mounted solution, providing superior installation flexibility compared to direct surface mounting. This option is particularly useful on non-flat surfaces or when the sensor requires elevation to optimize performance and clear its field of view. Using a mounting template (reference 87170-4) is recommended for precise installation, especially for deck mounting.

Integration and Compatibility

The R70162 bracket is an original Raymarine part, ensuring perfect mechanical compatibility with the EV-1 sensor. It integrates into Evolution autopilot systems, which also include actuator control units (ACUs) such as the ACU-100, ACU-150, ACU-200, ACU-300, and ACU-400. Its design meets marine environment requirements, ensuring the long-term durability of the sensor installation, critical for autopilot accuracy. Unlike generic mounting solutions, this bracket guarantees integration compliant with the manufacturer's specifications, essential for system reliability.

« Essential mounting bracket for Raymarine EV-1 sensor »

The R70162 bracket is an essential component for the flexible installation of the Raymarine EV-1 Evolution sensor. It is not a generic mount; it is specifically designed by Raymarine for the EV-1 sensor, ensuring perfect mechanical integration and preserving the integrity of the Evolution system, unlike adaptable solutions that may compromise stability or durability.

Its functional value lies in its ability to position the EV-1 sensor optimally, away from potential magnetic interference or structural blind spots, which is critical for autopilot accuracy. It allows installation on inclined surfaces or where flush mounting is not feasible, providing the necessary elevation for unobstructed detection. For replacement installations or custom setups, this bracket helps maintain the performance of the autopilot system. It is particularly suitable for mounting on deck or bulkhead where surface fixing is preferred for accessibility or space configuration reasons.

What is the primary role of the Raymarine R70162 bracket?

The Raymarine R70162 bracket is a mounting accessory specifically designed for the EV Evolution sensor (EV-1). Its primary role is to ensure secure and stable attachment of the EV-1 sensor, which is a key component of Raymarine's Evolution autopilot systems.

Is this bracket an original Raymarine part?

Yes, the R70162 bracket is an original Raymarine part. This ensures perfect mechanical compatibility with the EV-1 sensor and guarantees that the installation meets the manufacturer's specifications for optimal autopilot system reliability.

What are the advantages of using this bracket for mounting the EV-1 sensor?

Using the R70162 bracket for mounting the EV-1 sensor offers several advantages:

It provides superior installation flexibility compared to direct surface mounting. It is particularly useful for installation on non-flat surfaces. It allows raising the sensor, which can optimize its performance and clear its field of view. It ensures secure and stable mounting of the sensor in a marine environment.

Is it recommended to use a template for installing the R70162 bracket?

Yes, using a mounting template is highly recommended for precise installation of the R70162 bracket, especially for deck mounting. The mounting template reference is 87170-4. Ensure the template is printed at full scale to guarantee accuracy.

Is the R70162 bracket compatible with Evolution ACUs (Actuator Control Units)?

While the R70162 bracket is a mounting accessory for the EV-1 sensor, it integrates within the Evolution autopilot system ecosystem. These systems include various ACUs (Actuator Control Units) with which the EV-1 sensor (and thus its mounting via this bracket) is compatible. Compatible ACUs are:

ACU-100ACU-150ACU-200ACU-300ACU-400

What are the mounting options available for the EV-1 Evolution sensor?

The EV-1 Evolution sensor offers two main mounting options:

Surface mounting, where the sensor is fixed directly onto a flat surface. Bracket mounting, which is facilitated by the Raymarine R70162 bracket. This option provides greater flexibility and may be preferred for positioning or installation surface reasons.

What are the important considerations for choosing the installation location of the EV-1 sensor with this bracket?

When selecting the location for the EV-1 sensor mounted with the R70162 bracket, several factors must be considered to ensure optimal autopilot performance. Location requirements include maintaining safe distances from magnetic compasses and adhering to installation guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) to avoid interference. These detailed requirements are provided in the EV-1 sensor installation instructions.
