Detailed description
Detailed description
The FURUNO FAP-6112 is a rotary rudder sensor, also called a Rudder Reference Unit (RRU), designed to provide precise information on the rudder position to Furuno NavPilot Series 700 and 300 autopilot systems. Made of aluminum and featuring a 20-meter cable, this component ensures accurate monitoring of the rudder's physical movement, converting this data into digital signals usable by the autopilot.
Precision and System Integration
This sensor is a key element for precise course control, allowing the NavPilot system to effectively compensate for leeway, sea state, and wind variations. Its aluminum construction and design aim for extended service life in the marine environment. The FAP-6112 integrates with NavPilot systems, which use a self-learning and adaptive software algorithm. This algorithm dynamically adjusts parameters such as vessel speed, trim, draft, tidal and wind effects for optimized course keeping.
Extended Features with NavPilot
When the FAP-6112 is used with a compatible NavPilot system, functions such as "SAFE HELM" allow temporary manual control of the rudder, while "POWER ASSIST" provides tiller-steered power assistance. It should be noted that for some outboard installations using the latest NAVpilot-700 and NavPilot 300 series, Furuno’s "Fantum Feedback" technology may enable precise course control without requiring a physical rudder feedback unit. However, the FAP-6112 remains a relevant option for providing rudder position data and complementing these systems.
