Pilot sterujący (nadajnik+odbiornik)

The NKE autopilot remote control is a wireless control solution designed for marine autopilots. It integrates autopilot control functions and an automatic man-overboard (MOB) detection system, providing sailors with remote management of their autopilot while ensuring protection in case of a fall.

With this remote control, you can operate your autopilot wirelessly from various positions on board your boat (helm, mast foot, bow). Available functions include:

Changing courseActivating automatic modeStopping the autopilotTriggering tacks and jibes

The MOB detection system operates via the transmitter which continuously emits an identification code. If this code is lost (for example, if the transmitter falls into the water or moves away from the receiver), an audible alarm is triggered and the system displays the bearing and distance to the man-overboard position.

The NKE remote control transmitter is powered by a 3.6V lithium battery. Typical battery life is 1 to 3 years, depending on usage.

The NKE remote control transmitter has an IP68 waterproof rating, making it submersible and resistant to harsh marine environments. The receiver, on the other hand, is rated IP20.

The NKE remote control transmitter weighs 65 grams, making it ergonomic and discreet to carry.

The NKE remote control operates within a temperature range of -10°C to +50°C. For storage, it supports temperatures from -20°C to +60°C.

In 'solo' mode, if a MOB event is detected:

If a wind sensor is connected, the NKE autopilot tacks to face the wind. Without a wind sensor, the autopilot hard-overs the rudder to the opposite side of its last position.

Yes, for collective safety, it is possible to add up to 8 additional crew MOB transmitters to the MOB detection system.

The NKE autopilot remote control (transmitter+receiver) is manufactured in France.

This remote control gives sailors greater flexibility and increased safety. It allows remote control of the autopilot from any point on the boat and features a reliable man-overboard detection system, essential for safety at sea.

The NKE remote control system connects to the NKE Topline bus via its universal radio receiver, ensuring seamless integration with compatible NKE equipment.

No, this remote control is specifically designed to connect to the NKE Topline bus and is therefore only compatible with NKE autopilots and systems.

The remote control receiver connects directly to the NKE Topline bus. It acts as a universal radio receiver for the NKE system, enabling communication with the transmitter.

Yes, the receiver is rated IP20, meaning it is not waterproof and must be installed in a dry, protected location aboard your boat, away from moisture and water spray.

Installing the receiver typically requires basic tools for mounting and connecting to the NKE Topline bus. It is recommended to consult the installation manual provided by NKE for detailed instructions.

The product includes the transmitter and receiver. The NKE Topline bus-specific connection cables and mounts may be included or require separate purchase, depending on the pack or product version. It is advisable to check the exact contents of the package or recommended accessories.

The unit is designed to be operational after correct installation of the receiver and pairing with the transmitter. The transmitter battery is pre-installed for quick commissioning.

Yes, the system is scalable. You can add up to 8 additional crew transmitters to extend MOB safety coverage to other crew members, thereby enhancing on-board protection.

Yes, the system connects to the NKE Topline bus via its universal radio receiver, meaning it is designed to integrate in a standard way with compatible NKE equipment using this bus.
