The Raymarine Evolution EV-100 cockpit pilot (reference A80737) is an autopilot system designed for sailboats equipped with a tiller. It integrates the EV-1 AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference Sensor) technology for precise heading and attitude detection.

The Evolution EV-100 system is primarily composed of the EV-1 AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference Sensor), which serves as the primary heading sensor and route computer. This sensor integrates a 9-axis system and replaces the traditional fluxgate compass.

The EV-1 AHRS sensor is designed for traditional steering systems, such as tiller pilots or mechanical cylinders, as used in the Evolution EV-100 autopilot. The EV-2 AHRS sensor is intended for Drive-By-Wire (DBW) autopilot systems.

The EV-1 sensor has a diameter of 140 mm (5.5 inches). Its depth is 35 mm (1.4 inches) with the mounting housing and 95 mm (3.8 inches) with the wall bracket. It weighs 0.29 kg (0.64 lbs).

The Raymarine Evolution EV-100 autopilot is designed to operate within a temperature range of -25 °C to +55 °C (-13 °F to +131 °F).

The EV-1 sensor in the Evolution EV-100 autopilot has an IPx6 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets.

The Evolution EV-100 system consumes 30 mA, with power supplied by the SeaTalk NG system.

The Evolution EV-100 system is powered by the SeaTalk NG network, which requires a single 12 V DC power supply. The operating voltage range is 10.8 V to 15.6 V DC.

The EV-1 sensor can be mounted on a surface or on a wall. A mounting template (reference 87170) is available to simplify installation. It is important to maintain minimum distances from equipment transmitting radio signals or cables carrying high currents.

The tools required for installing the EV-100 autopilot include basic mounting and wiring tools such as a drill, screwdrivers, and wire cutters. It is recommended to consult the installation manual for the full list.

The Evolution EV-100 system integrates via the SeaTalk NG network. The EV-1 sensor has a Load Equivalency Number (LEN) of 1, which simplifies its connectivity with other compatible Raymarine equipment on the same network.

Yes, the SeaTalk NG network power supply must be protected by an inline 5-amp fuse or an equivalent thermal circuit breaker, connected directly to a 12 V DC battery.

It is recommended to use only approved SeaTalk NG power cables (e.g., A06049 or A06070). The 12 V DC power supply must be connected to a white 'spur' connection on the SeaTalk NG backbone, not to a blue 'backbone' connector. It is also advised not to connect the power supply directly to a white 'spur' connector on a product, except for the iTC-5 and the backbone itself.

The EV-1 sensor must be installed at least 1 metre (3.28 feet) away from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals (e.g., VHF radios, cables and antennas). For SSB radios, this distance must be increased to 2 metres (6.6 feet). It must also be more than 2 metres (6.56 feet) from the path of a radar beam.

To clean the product, first disconnect the power supply. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the device. Do NOT use abrasive, acidic, ammonia-based, solvent-based, or other chemical cleaning products.

Regular checks are recommended to ensure the equipment operates correctly. This includes inspecting all cables for signs of damage or wear.

The Evolution EV-100 system requires a compatible pilot controller to operate. The p70/p70R/p70s/p70Rs controller series are essential for the system's operation.

Adding a rudder angle sensor (reference M81105) is highly recommended to ensure optimal performance of the Evolution EV-100 autopilot, although the system can operate without it.

Yes, the Evolution EV-100 system is designed to integrate via the SeaTalk NG network, facilitating connectivity and compatibility with other Raymarine equipment using this same network protocol.

No, damages caused by an incomplete software update are not covered by the Raymarine warranty. It is essential to ensure the product has a reliable power supply and that the update process is not interrupted.
