Calculator automat pilot NAC-3

The NAC-3 autopilot computer is designed for larger vessels, typically over 10 meters (35 feet), that require high-current power units such as hydraulic pumps or powerful mechanical rams.

The NAC-3 processor is compatible with 12V DC and 24V DC electrical systems. It can operate within a voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC.

The NAC-3 is highly versatile in terms of connectivity. It features the following ports:

NMEA 2000 (via a Micro-C port) for modern integration. NMEA 0183 (bidirectional port) for compatibility with older equipment. SimNet compatibility to integrate with existing Navico systems.

The NAC-3 processor is designed to manage power units (pumps, actuators) with a maximum consumption of 750 W. It can provide high continuous current for demanding applications.

It is recommended to install a 30-amp fuse on the power line of the NAC-3 computer to ensure adequate system protection.

The NAC-3 processor is part of the Navico ecosystem and is designed to integrate seamlessly with multifunction displays from Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G.

The NAC-3 autopilot computer is designed to operate within a temperature range of -25°C to +55°C (-13°F to 131°F).

The NAC-3 is a more powerful version than the NAC-2. It is designed for larger vessels and can handle higher-power units (pumps and actuators) with greater energy consumption, featuring a higher output current and a maximum power draw of 750 W.

During installation, ensure the NAC-3 computer is placed at least 500 mm (20 inches) away from any magnetic compass to avoid interference.

Yes, the NAC-3 integrates advanced autopilot algorithms for sailing, including an intelligent wind mode that automatically switches between apparent wind angle (AWA) and true wind angle (TWA) for optimal performance.

The NAC-3 autopilot computer weighs 0.7 kg (1.6 lbs).

SteadySteer is a technology that allows manual control of the helm without having to disable the autopilot. The autopilot automatically disengages when you turn the helm and re-engages when you hold it steady.

Yes, the NAC-3 includes pre-programmed turning patterns that can be activated from a compatible display. These patterns include maneuvers such as circles or zigzags, useful for certain fishing or search activities.

The typical electrical consumption of the NAC-3 depends entirely on the power unit (pump or cylinder) connected to it. The processor itself has very low consumption, as power is primarily drawn by the rudder actuator.

The NAC-3 has a Load Equivalency Number (LEN) of 1 on the NMEA 2000 network. This corresponds to the standard electrical load of a device on the network, useful information for designing your NMEA 2000 network.

The NMEA 0183 port of the NAC-3 is versatile and supports multiple communication speeds (baud rates): 4.8, 9.6, 19.2 and 38.4 kbaud, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices.

The NAC-3 autopilot computer comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

The NAC-3 computer is specifically designed for large vessels requiring high-power consumption units.

Maximum consumption: up to 750 W for hydraulic cylinders and pumps. Power supply: compatible with 12 V and 24 V DC systems. Protection: requires a recommended 30 A fuse.

The NAC-3 processor integrates seamlessly with multifunction displays from Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G.

In terms of network connectivity, it supports:

NMEA 2000: via a standard Micro-C port. NMEA 0183: bidirectional port for communication with older equipment. SimNet: compatibility ensured for existing installations.

The computer housing has an IPX5 waterproof rating, providing effective protection against water splashes in a marine environment.

During installation, it is important to maintain a minimum safe distance of 500 mm (50 cm) from any magnetic compass to avoid interference.
