The Simrad AP70 is ideal for both simple installations where IMO approval is not required but also can be configured (by matching with an approved computer) to meet the requirements for a Type Approved autopilot. Install as a stand-alone display or network as a second or third station for ultimate vessel control.
The AP70’s waterproof design, daylight viewable display, colour user interface, intuitive on-screen graphics and option of flush or bracket mount enable easy operation regardless of the installation requirements. Additionally, dedicated mode, command and turn
keys and rotary knob provide quick and unmistakable selection
of the required function when the situation calls for immediate response.
Integration with other on-board systems including interface to central alarm units is achieved by multiple NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 channels.
