Simrad OP12 Autopilot Controller

Set up a compact second autopilot control point with the Simrad OP12 Autopilot Controller, a push-button interface for compatible Simrad autopilot systems. The slim controller connects through a 12V NMEA 2000 Micro-C network and supports NAC-2, NAC-3, AC12, AC42, and SG05 autopilot computers. Its 60 mm slim profile, 115 mm height, and 0.12 kg, or 0.26 lb, weight should be considered when choosing a flush-mount location.

Step-by-step course changes operate through the push-button interface, while the controller draws about 0.6W during typical operation. The IPX7-rated marine-polymer housing operates from minus 15°C to 55°C. Included components consist of a bezel, sun cover, and NMEA 2000 T-connector. A compatible autopilot computer, drive, heading sensor, and network remain required for a complete system.
