It stands out within the Reactor 40 range due to its compact format, specifically targeting vessels where space is limited, while maintaining the performance expected from a Garmin autopilot, comparable to other high-end autopilot systems on the market.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConfiguration and system integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    Installing the \u003cstrong\u003eReactor™ 40 Compact\u003c\/strong\u003e requires marine expertise due to the complexity of hydraulic and electrical systems. However, Garmin has simplified the commissioning phase with intuitive configuration assistants. The Dockside Wizard guides the user through initial settings such as vessel type, rudder lock, rudder deflection value, and rudder sensor calibration. The Sea Trial Wizard, in turn, allows calibration of essential sensors under real-world conditions, including compass calibration and the Autotune procedure to optimize autopilot performance based on the boat's specific dynamics.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSensors and NMEA 2000 connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The system's core, the Course Computer Unit (CCU), is the main sensor of the Reactor 40 Compact. Its positioning is critical: it must be mounted on a rigid surface, away from any potential magnetic interference (iron, magnets, high-current cables, pumps). Mounting screws are provided, but a location test with a handheld compass is recommended. Connection to the NMEA 2000 network is essential for the CCU and the control head, enabling integration with other Garmin or compatible equipment, such as chartplotters for configuration or speed sources (NMEA 2000 tachometer, external GPS). The Shadow Drive, a sensor to be installed in the hydraulic lines, detects manual helm control, automatically suspending autopilot operation. If Shadow Drive is not installed, a manual SPST switch (not included) can be used. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) must be mounted within 0.5 m of the hydraulic pump, in a non-submersible location, with a direct power supply from the boat's battery. The alarm must be mounted near the main helm station. This system ensures a complete and adaptable installation for various hydraulic boat configurations.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55859004997972,"sku":"010-00705-06","price":1061.68,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/main_99bec161-bddc-45da-be59-e22c552837bd.jpg?v=1779186320"},{"product_id":"garmin-coffret-pilote-automatique-reactor-40-hydraulique","title":"Reactor™ 40 autopilot kit for hydraulic systems without GHC™ 20","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eReactor™ 40 autopilot kit for hydraulic systems\u003c\/strong\u003e from Garmin forms the foundation of an advanced navigation system for vessels equipped with hydraulic steering. This essential pack, delivered without the GHC™ 20 display, is designed to integrate seamlessly with an existing compatible Garmin chartplotter or a separately purchased GHC™ 20 control display, offering maximum flexibility for new installations or upgrades. The Reactor 40 series is recognized for its 9-axis AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) technology, ensuring precise heading hold and rapid response to marine conditions, outperforming older or less integrated systems in terms of responsiveness and power consumption.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSensors and system integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    At the heart of the system is the Course Computer Unit (CCU), the primary sensor of the autopilot. For optimal performance, the CCU must be mounted on a rigid surface, away from magnetic interference (iron, magnets, high-current cables, intermittent pumps) and large magnetic fields (subwoofers), with minimum distances of 60 cm and 1.5 m respectively. Its ideal position is near the boat's center of rotation, on the centerline, low and slightly forward. The kit also includes the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which must be installed within 0.5 m of the hydraulic pump, and the Shadow Drive™ sensor, which detects manual helm control, automatically suspending the autopilot. The latter requires precise horizontal mounting, 305 mm from magnetic sources, between the pump and the helm station.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConnectivity and configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eReactor™ 40 autopilot kit\u003c\/strong\u003e is ready for NMEA 2000 integration, a network that can be built using the provided cables and connectors. This connectivity allows the addition of optional NMEA 2000 devices such as wind, speed, or GPS sensors to leverage all advanced autopilot features. The absence of the GHC™ 20 display in this pack means initial setup and control must be performed via a compatible Garmin chartplotter connected to the same NMEA 2000 network.
