Raymarine EV-2 Sensor Core
Raymarine EV-2 Sensor Core — Product description
Raymarine EV-2 Sensor Core - Advanced 9-Axis Marine Autopilot Sensor
Revolutionary marine autopilot sensor technology that delivers precision vessel monitoring and exceptional steering performance in all conditions. The Raymarine EV-2 Sensor Core represents the pinnacle of marine autopilot innovation, combining nine advanced sensors into a single, intelligent unit that transforms your vessel's autopilot capabilities.
Precision 9-Axis Sensor Technology
At the heart of every Evolution autopilot system lies this sophisticated sensor core, featuring three integrated sensor systems that monitor vessel motion across all dimensions. The advanced solid-state technology includes a 3-axis digital accelerometer, 3-axis digital compass, and 3-axis gyro angular rate sensor, delivering dynamic accuracy within ±2 degrees in all marine conditions.
Advanced Autopilot Performance Features
- Real-Time Motion Monitoring: Precision tracking of heading, pitch, roll, and yaw enables instant adaptation to changing sea conditions and vessel dynamics
- Magnetic Field Compensation: Advanced auto-compensation eliminates interference from onboard magnetic fields
- Extreme Latitude Reliability: Maintains accurate heading data in northern and southern polar regions
- Enhanced Navigation Integration: Provides fast, reliable heading data for MARPA radar, overlay functions, and heading modes on Raymarine multifunction displays
Drive-by-Wire System Integration
Specifically engineered for modern drive-by-wire steering systems, the EV-2 offers seamless integration with leading propulsion technologies. The dedicated CAN Bus port enables direct connection to advanced steering systems including ZF Pod Drives, Yamaha Helm Master, Volvo IPS, and SeaStar Solutions Optimus systems. This direct connection eliminates the need for a separate Autopilot Control Unit (ACU), significantly simplifying installation and reducing system complexity.
Flexible Installation Options
The ruggedized IPX6/IPX7 waterproof enclosure allows versatile mounting above or below deck, accommodating various vessel configurations and space constraints. The compact 140mm diameter housing with integrated mounting hardware ensures secure installation in challenging marine environments.

EV-2 Sensor Core
At the center of every Evolution system is the intelligent EV sensor core, a 9-axis sensor that monitors vessel motion in all three dimensions. The innovative EV sensor core combines advanced solid-state sensors with the Evolution autopilot processor into a single easy-to-install housing.
Mount the EV sensor core above or below decks, the rugged enclosure is fully sealed and built to IPX6 and IPX7 waterproofing and submersion standards.
Features & Benefits:
- Precision monitoring of heading, pitch, roll, and yaw allowing the autopilot to evolve instantly as sea conditions and vessel dynamics change
- Flexible installation options - Mount above or below deck
- Simple SeaTalkng connectivity to the control head and ACU
- Solid state sensor technology delivers dynamic accuracy to within 2 degrees in all conditions
- Auto-compensation for on board magnetic fields and reliable heading accuracy in the northern and southern extremes
- Fast and reliable heading data for MARPA, radar overlay, and heading modes on Raymarine multifunction displays
EV-2 has been designed for the latest drive-by-wire steering systems and connects directly to Raymarine's SeaTalkng bus. EV-2 also has a dedicated CAN Bus port for direct connection to steer-by-wire steering systems - such as ZF Pod Drives, Yamaha Helm Master, Volvo IPS and SeaStar Solutions Optimus systems. A single CAN Bus connection to the EV-2 eliminates the need for an Autopilot Control Unit (ACU) further simplifying installation.
