Stjórnborð WR10 fyrir stýrisjá

The remote control communicates with its base station via a Bluetooth connection with an effective range of up to 30 meters. This allows you to control your autopilot from anywhere on deck or at the helm.

The WR10 remote control operates very simply with 2 standard AAA batteries. Thanks to low-power Bluetooth technology, it provides excellent battery life.

No, it is specifically designed for the marine environment. The remote carries dual waterproof certifications to IPX6 and IPX7 standards, meaning it withstands powerful water jets and temporary immersion.

The WR10 is equipped with a very handy multicolour LED. When a command is accepted by the autopilot, the LED lights up green for 1 second. If the command is rejected or not received, it lights up red.

The arrow keys (left/right) allow easy heading adjustment:

Short press: heading adjustment in 1° incrementsLong press (2 seconds): heading adjustment in 10° increments

Yes, the Autotack function is available when you are in wind mode (WIND). Simply press both arrow buttons (left and right) simultaneously until the LED flashes rapidly in green, then press the AUTO button to confirm the tack.

The MODE button allows quick switching between different autopilot modes. On a sailboat, it toggles between AUTO and WIND modes. On other types of vessels, it switches between AUTO and NoDrift modes (course-keeping without leeway).

To keep it always within reach, the WR10 remote control comes with a lanyard to wear around the neck. A wrist strap is available as an optional accessory.

Yes, the remote control is designed to operate in harsh conditions, with an operating temperature range from -20°C to +55°C.

The WR10 was designed for intuitive use and has only 5 buttons: two directional arrows (port/starboard), a standby button (STBY), a MODE button, and an autopilot engagement button (AUTO).

The base station connects very simply in Plug & Play directly to the backbone of your NMEA 2000 network. It uses a standard Micro-C T-connector (supplied) and is powered directly via this network (9-16 V DC).

No, the base station’s power consumption is extremely low. It draws less than 100 mA at 12V DC, which preserves the autonomy of your house batteries.

A single Bluetooth base station can be paired with up to four WR10 remotes simultaneously. This is ideal if you want to equip multiple crew members or have remotes at different stations.

Yes, the base station is rated IPX7 for water resistance. It can be installed in exposed locations if needed, though the location should always be optimized to ensure the best Bluetooth signal range.

The base station comes with a Micro-C drop cable 1.8 metres (6 feet) long, providing adequate flexibility for positioning relative to the NMEA 2000 backbone.

The WR10 autopilot remote integrates seamlessly with the Navico group ecosystem. It is compatible with autopilots from Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G connected via NMEA 2000.

Yes, the base station of the remote control must be connected to a functional NMEA 2000 network to communicate with your autopilot computer and to receive its power supply.

Yes. When configured for a sailboat (SAIL mode), the MODE button activates WIND mode (wind angle tracking) and provides an automatic tacking function that is very useful for single-handed manoeuvres.

Yes, it is perfectly suited. For powerboats, the MODE button allows switching to the NoDrift function, which automatically compensates for leeway caused by wind or current to maintain an accurate ground track.

The system uses a Bluetooth Low Energy connection. This technology choice ensures a stable connection, excellent command responsiveness, and a longer battery life for the remote compared to a classic Wi-Fi connection.
