Cofret de direcție electronic Reactor™ 40 pentru sistemul Helm Master™ de Yamaha® fără GHC™ 20

This is an advanced autopilot system from Garmin, specifically designed to integrate with Yamaha® Helm Master™ electronic steering systems. It uses 9-axis AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) technology to deliver superior course-keeping accuracy and compensate for vessel movements.

The Reactor™ 40 autopilot uses 9-axis AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) technology. This technology provides superior heading-hold responsiveness and accuracy by compensating for vessel motion across all axes, minimizing trajectory errors even in demanding sea conditions.

No, this kit is a "core pack" version (central kit) and does not include the GHC™ 20 control display. It is intended for installations where an existing compatible Garmin multifunction display or GHC™ 20 is already used for autopilot configuration and control.

The Reactor™ 40 system outperforms traditional fluxgate compass-based autopilot systems. With its 9-axis AHRS technology, it compensates for vessel movements on all axes, delivering superior course-keeping responsiveness and accuracy, which minimizes trajectory errors even in demanding sea conditions.

The Course Control Unit (CCU) is the core of the system and the primary sensor of the Reactor™ 40 autopilot. It is essential for the autopilot’s operation, measuring the vessel’s position and movement to maintain heading.

No, this Reactor™ 40 electronic steering kit is specifically designed to integrate with Yamaha® Helm Master™ electronic steering systems.

This kit is designed to be configured and controlled via a compatible Garmin multifunction display or an existing GHC™ 20 screen. The compass heading unit (CCU) must be connected to the same NMEA 2000® network as the control display or compatible chartplotter.

Yes, the system is fully compatible with the NMEA 2000® network. The heading computation unit (CCU) and the control display (or compatible chartplotter) must be connected to an NMEA 2000® network. NMEA 2000® cables and connectors are included to build a network if needed.

Yes, to use the advanced features of the autopilot, optional NMEA 2000® devices such as a wind sensor, water speed sensor, or GPS device can be connected to the NMEA 2000® network.

Yes, if RPM data is not available via the autopilot controller connection or the NMEA 2000® network, you can select GPS as the speed source. Garmin recommends using an external GPS antenna mounted with a clear view of the sky for reliable and accurate speed information.

Yes, if your autopilot controller connection provides RPM data, or if one or more NMEA 2000®-compatible engines are connected to the NMEA 2000® network, you can select the tachometer (Tach. - NMEA 2000 or Proprietary) as the speed source.

Yes, Garmin recommends that the autopilot system be installed by a qualified marine installer. Specific knowledge of hydraulic steering components and marine electrical systems is required for correct installation.

The CCU must be mounted on a rigid and stable surface, away from sources of magnetic interference. It is essential to keep it away from elements such as iron, strong magnets, high-current cables, and intermittently operating pumps. The best position is near the boat's center of rotation, on the centerline, lower in the boat, and slightly forward.

You can use a handheld compass to test a mounting location. Hold the compass at the intended spot, then move it six inches to the left, right, above, below, in front of, and behind. If the compass needle moves more than three degrees, magnetic interference is present and a new location must be chosen.

The CCU cable, which connects the CCU to the steering system, is 3 meters (9 feet) long. This cable must not be cut. Extension cables are available if the CCU cannot be mounted within 3 meters of the steering system.

After installation, you will need to perform a short configuration sequence, which includes the Dockside Wizard and the Sea Trial Wizard. These assistants guide you through the necessary steps to configure and adjust the autopilot to your boat's dynamics.

The sea trial assistant must be performed in calm water. The boat must not pitch when stationary or at very low speed, and must not be significantly affected by the wind. The weight on board must remain balanced, and it is recommended not to move around the boat during the procedure.

The required tools include:

Phillips and flat-head screwdriversCable tiesWaterproof wire connectors (or heat-shrink tubing and a heat gun)Marine sealantA handheld compass (to test magnetic interference)A drill and bitsWire cutters/strippersMounting screws are provided for main components.

The alarm must be mounted near the main helm station. It can be installed under the dashboard. The alarm wires can be extended if necessary with a 28 AWG (0.08 mm²) wire.
