Raymarine EVOLUTION EV-100 Autopilot

Description

The Raymarine Evolution Autopilot kit is designed for smaller powerboats and sailboats, depending on the selected steering system variant. It is available in versions for vessels with hydraulic steering, as well as for sailboats with tiller or wheel steering, and is suited to different vessel displacements depending on the model.

The system is designed for precise course keeping, easy installation, and reliable operation in changing sea conditions. Thanks to Raymarine Evolution technology, the autopilot continuously monitors vessel movement and automatically adapts to navigation conditions, without the need for complex setup or calibration. The Plug & Play installation principle enables quick connection to existing instruments and chartplotters via the SeaTalkNG / NMEA2000 network.

Key features:
– precise and stable course keeping
– simple Plug & Play installation without complicated calibration
– networking via SeaTalkNG / NMEA2000
– includes the EV-1 sensor core, an intelligent 9-axis heading sensor that uses aerospace guidance technology to adapt to changing sea conditions and vessel dynamics
– on the hydraulic version, exclusive Raymarine Hydro-Balance™ technology is also available, adjusting the elasticity of the hydraulic steering system and automatically compensating for oscillations
– depending on the version, the system is designed for cockpit installation and allows easy handling and storage of the drive unit

Specifications:
– output current: maximum continuous 7 A at supply voltage

– waterproof rating: connector panel IPx2, drive electronics IPx6
– storage temperature: -30 °C to +70 °C
– operating temperature: -20 °C to +55 °C
– compliance standards: Europe 2004/108/EC, Australia and New Zealand C-Tick, compliance level 2
– power consumption in standby: 300 mA (12 V)
– supply voltage: 12 V DC
– operating voltage: 10.8 V DC to 15.6 V DC
– LEN (NMEA 2000 Load Equivalency Number): 1

Note: it is always recommended to take into account the vessel’s fully loaded displacement, which is often around 20% greater than the design displacement.
