2.2 Product overview

Part number
81177
Evolution is a system of electronic components that
give you autopilot control of your vessel's steering
system.
In conjunction with a compatible Autopilot controller,
the Evolution components enable you to directly
81178
control the vessel's steering system and provide
navigation commands, such as navigating to
pre-determined tracks and waypoints for example.
The Evolution system provides a number of features
to ensure ease of installation and minimal setup:
81175
• Flexible mounting options — The EV sensor
can be mounted horizontally on a flat deck or
alternatively on a bracket, for mounting on a mast,
wall or other vertical surface.
81174
Note: The arrow on the front of the EV sensor
must be parallel with the centerline of the
vessel and pointing towards the vessel's bow.
• Simple connections — all Evolution system
81176
components are connected to a single SeaTalkng®
backbone.
• High accuracy — accurate course-keeping, to
within +/- 2 degrees, in all conditions.
81180
• Built-in heading and attitude sensor — no
additional fluxgate compass required.
• Automatic setup — no calibration required. The
Rudder Gain, Rudder Damping, Counter Rudder,
and compass calibration settings required by
existing autopilots are no longer necessary
The Evolution system consists of the following
components:
