Detailed description

Designed for sail and powerboating, the Raymarine Evolution T70156 autopilot is an integrated system comprising the EV-1 sensor, the ACU-200 actuator control unit, and the p70Rs control head. This solution is specifically intended for Type 1 power units, offering compatibility with hydraulic and mechanical steering systems on mid-sized boats.

Evolution system architecture

The system architecture is based on the SeaTalk NG network, facilitating integration of the various components and their interconnection with other Raymarine equipment. The EV-1 sensor, the central element of the Evolution T70156, integrates a 9-axis attitude and heading reference system (AHRS), providing heading, pitch, roll, and yaw rate data. This precision enables the autopilot to maintain a stable course under all sea conditions.

Control unit and user interface

The ACU-200 actuator control unit manages power and control of the Type 1 power unit, ensuring a seamless interface between the EV-1 sensor data and the steering actuator. The p70Rs control head, with its rotary controller and push buttons, provides intuitive autopilot control. It differs from the p70 (push buttons only) by its rotary controller, allowing rapid and precise course adjustments. Raymarine’s Evolution range also includes the ACU-100/150 for smaller power units and the ACU-300/400 for more demanding applications with Type 2 or 3 power units, positioning the ACU-200 as a versatile option for a wide range of vessels.

« Technical analysis: Raymarine Evolution ACU-200 p70Rs autopilot »

The Raymarine Evolution Autopilot system, in its T70156 configuration with the ACU-200 and p70Rs control head, is a robust solution for sailboats and powerboats equipped with a Type 1 rudder drive unit. This compatibility makes it ideal for medium-sized vessels. It is crucial to validate the match between the existing rudder drive unit and this specification to ensure optimal autopilot performance.

The integration of the EV-1 sensor is a major advantage. Its ability to provide heading, pitch, and roll data with high responsiveness enables finer rudder control and energy savings in the drive unit compared to previous-generation systems that relied solely on a fluxgate compass. Installation is simplified by the SeaTalk NG network, which minimizes wiring and enables Plug & Play configuration with Raymarine multifunction displays (MFD). During installation, it is important to respect safety distances from sources of electromagnetic interference and ferromagnetic masses for the EV-1 sensor to preserve the internal compass accuracy. This pack is an excellent option for boaters seeking a balance between performance and ease of integration on mid-sized vessels, without the power requirements of large yachts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What are the main components included in the Evolution Autopilot T70156 system?

The Raymarine Evolution Autopilot T70156 system is an integrated package comprising three essential components:

The EV-1 sensor, which is the attitude and heading reference unit.The ACU-200 actuator control unit, which manages power and control to the drive unit.The p70Rs control head, which serves as the user interface for autopilot control.

Which type of power unit is the Evolution T70156 autopilot compatible with?

The Evolution T70156 autopilot is specifically designed to be compatible with Type 1 power units. This compatibility is suited to hydraulic and mechanical steering systems commonly found on mid-sized boats.

What is the function of the EV-1 sensor in the Evolution Autopilot system?

The EV-1 sensor is a core component of the Evolution Autopilot system. It integrates a 9-axis Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS). This sensor delivers precise data for heading, pitch, roll, and yaw rate. This accuracy is critical for the autopilot to maintain a stable course, regardless of sea conditions.

What is the difference between the p70Rs control head and the standard p70?

The p70Rs control head differs from the standard p70 model by its rotary controller, in addition to the push buttons. This rotary interface allows for quick and precise heading adjustments, making autopilot control more intuitive and ergonomic for the user.

How do the components of the Evolution Autopilot system communicate with each other?

The various components of the Evolution Autopilot system, such as the EV-1 sensor, the ACU-200, and the p70Rs, communicate with each other via the SeaTalk NG network.
