Product Overview
The NAC-3 Autopilot Computer is the brains behind your Simrad autopilot system. The NAC-3 Autopilot Computer is recommended for boats above 35 ft in length. It is rated for high-current output of up to 30A continuous and 50A peak, plus a clutch output. This is suitable to operate high-current drive pumps including the Simrad RPU160 and RPU300, mechanical drives such as the Simrad DD15, hydraulic linear drives such as the HLD2000 series, and solenoid valves. It contains the electronics needed to operate a hydraulic steering pump or mechanical drive unit, while also interfacing with other components including heading sensors and rudder feedback units.
