Simrad NAC-D Autopilot Computer f/Steer By Wire — Product description
Simrad NAC-D Autopilot Computer for Steer-By-Wire Electronic Vessel Control Systems
Transform your electronic vessel control system into a precision autopilot solution with the Simrad NAC-D Autopilot Computer (Model 000-15621-001). Engineered specifically for steer-by-wire systems, this digital autopilot computer delivers professional-grade navigation performance with simplified installation and advanced steering algorithms.
Revolutionary Steer-By-Wire Technology
The NAC-D represents the cutting edge of marine autopilot technology, designed exclusively for boats equipped with electronic vessel control systems including SeaStar® Optimus®, Yanmar® VC10/JC10, Volvo® IPS/EVC, and Yamaha® helm master/single-engine control systems. Unlike traditional hydraulic autopilot systems, the NAC-D communicates digitally with your vessel's steering system for precise, responsive control.
Effortless Installation & Setup
Experience the simplicity of professional autopilot installation with just two Micro-C connector connections. The NAC-D eliminates the complexity and cost of traditional autopilot installations by requiring:
- No additional hydraulic pump installation
- No rudder sensor mounting or calibration
- No dockside rudder calibration procedures
- Plug-and-play NMEA 2000 network integration
Advanced Continuum® Steering Technology
Powered by Simrad's proprietary Continuum® steering algorithm, the NAC-D delivers exceptional autopilot performance based on over 70 years of marine navigation expertise. The system automatically switches between dual speed profiles, optimizing steering response for both low-speed maneuvering and high-speed cruising conditions.
SteadySteer™ Feature
The innovative SteadySteer™ functionality allows immediate manual steering intervention without disengaging the autopilot system. Take temporary control for course corrections, then seamlessly return to autopilot mode - perfect for navigating traffic or making quick adjustments.
Comprehensive Navigation Capabilities
Execute sophisticated navigation patterns with professional precision:
- Waypoint Navigation: Direct steering to GPS waypoints
- Heading Hold: Maintain precise compass courses
- Advanced Turn Patterns: U-turns, spiral turns, and custom patterns
- Zigzag Functionality: Automated zigzag patterns for specific navigation requirements
- Track Following: Follow predetermined routes with accuracy
Flexible Control Options
Choose your preferred control interface from Simrad's comprehensive autopilot controller range:
- AP™ 44 Controller: Compact dedicated autopilot control
- AP 48 Controller: Advanced autopilot interface with expanded functionality
- Multifunction Display Integration: Control directly from NSS™ and NSO™ chartplotters
Technical Specifications
Installation & Compatibility
The NAC-D integrates seamlessly with NMEA 2000 marine networks and requires minimal installation time.
