Zestaw autopilota EV-200 z pompą hydrauliczną typ 1

The Raymarine EV-200 autopilot kit (reference T70157) includes several essential components for an advanced steering system:

A reference heading and attitude sensor (EV-1 AHRS) with 9-axis technology.
An actuator control unit (ACU-200) that manages power and pump control.
A Type 1 hydraulic pump.
The necessary cables for connection to the SeaTalk NG network.

The Raymarine EV-200 autopilot kit is specifically designed for hydraulic steering systems. It comes with a Type 1 hydraulic pump and is suitable for standard installations using this type of pump. It differs from other kits in the Evolution range:

The EV-100 is intended for wheel or tiller steering systems. The EV-300 and EV-400 are designed for more powerful cylinders or rotary transmissions. The EV-2 is optimized for 'Drive-By-Wire' steering systems.

The Raymarine EV-200 system requires a 12VDC power supply.

The ACU-200 actuator control unit is powered by 12VDC and delivers an output current of 15A. The EV-1 sensor, powered by the SeaTalk NG system, has a nominal voltage of 12V and a power consumption of 30 mA. The SeaTalk NG network must be powered by a single 12VDC source, protected by an inline 5-amp fuse.

The EV-1 sensor is the primary Attitude and Heading Reference Sensor (AHRS) of the system. It integrates 9-axis technology that replaces traditional fluxgate compasses. Its main function is to provide extremely accurate heading detection and automatic compensation for errors caused by the vessel's pitch and roll. This technology is crucial for correcting heading errors, particularly during sharp turns, and is the cornerstone of Raymarine's Evolution systems.

The Raymarine EV-200 system integrates with the NMEA2000/SeaTalk NG network. SeaTalk NG is Raymarine’s proprietary protocol, compatible with the NMEA2000 standard. This connectivity ensures seamless communication with other onboard navigation instruments, such as multifunction displays (MFD) and compatible autopilot controllers.

When installing the EV-200 kit, it is important to respect the IP ratings of the components:

The EV-1 sensor has an IPx6 rating, meaning it can be installed in exposed environments.The ACU-200 actuator control unit, with its IPx2 rating, is designed for installation in a protected and dry environment, away from direct water splashes.It is also recommended to install the EV-1 sensor at least 1 meter away from any equipment transmitting radio signals (such as VHF radios) and more than 2 meters from the path of a radar beam.

To control the EV-200 autopilot system, a compatible autopilot controller is essential. Raymarine's p70 series products are compatible, including:

p70p70Rp70sp70RsThese controllers must operate with software version v2.12 or later to ensure optimal compatibility.

Although the EV-200 system can operate without it, installing a rudder angle sensor (reference M81105) is highly recommended. This sensor provides precise information on the rudder position to the autopilot, which is essential for ensuring optimal system performance and improved course-keeping.
