Detailed description
Detailed description
Designed for precise navigation, the Raymarine EV-400 autopilot kit (part number T70161) is an integrated solution for vessel steering control. This system combines an EV-1 course and attitude reference sensor (AHRS) with an ACU-400 actuator control unit for advanced autopilot performance.
EV-1 AHRS Sensor: Precision and Reliability
The system’s core, the EV-1 AHRS sensor, integrates 9-axis sensor technology that replaces traditional fluxgate compasses. It provides accurate heading and motion data for improved course-keeping. Weighing 0.29 kg, it operates on a nominal 12 V supply via the SeaTalk NG system, with a voltage range of 10.8 V to 15.6 V DC and a power consumption of 30 mA. Built for demanding marine environments, it supports operating temperatures from -25 °C to +55 °C and features IPx6 waterproofing with a maximum relative humidity of 93 %. Its dimensions are 140 mm in diameter and 35 mm in depth (with mounting housing) or 95 mm (with wall bracket). Its SeaTalk NG load equivalence number (LEN) is 1.
ACU-400 Control Unit: Power and Adaptability
The ACU-400 actuator control unit manages power and control electronics for direct connection to the vessel’s steering system. It is compatible with 12/24 V DC power and delivers a 15 A output current, ensuring compatibility with various propulsion systems and hydraulic rams.
System Integration and Networking
The kit integrates with the NMEA2000 network via SeaTalk NG, requiring a 12 V DC power supply protected by a 5-amp fuse for the backbone. For optimal performance, the use of a rudder angle sensor (part number M81105) is highly recommended. The system is compatible with p70 series autopilot controllers, provided they run software version v2.12 or later.
