PLEASE NOTE: NO CONTROL HEAD SUPPLIED.

THIS PACK IS FOR USE WITH AN EXISTING (COMPATIBLE) MULTI FUNCTION DISPLAY OR AUTOPILOT CONTROL HEAD.

The EV 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-toinstall 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.

The EV-1 is designed for Evolution mechanical and hydraulic autopilot systems. SeaTalkng networking enables a single cable connection for power and data to the Evolution ACU (actuator control unit) and extended SeaTalkng and NMEA2000 networks.

Features:

  • 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
  • Fast and reliable heading data for MARPA, radar overlay, and heading modes on Raymarine multifunction displays

ACU-100

With the ACU-100 Raymarine brings the exceptional performance of Evolution Autopilots to sport boats, runabouts and smaller cruising yachts.

Specifically designed to complement Raymarine’s unique wheel-drive and tiller-drive applications, the ACU-100 provides a powerful and secure interface between steering systems and the revolutionary EV-1 course computer and 9-axis sensor.

As a true world-first innovation, the ACU-100 is fully sealed so may be mounted above decks on boats where space is limited.
