Product overview
The Evolution EV-2 is a primary heading sensor and course
computer, providing autopilot control for vessels fitted with a
Drive-By-Wire (DBW) steering system.
In conjunction with a separately supplied drive interface unit
and a compatible autopilot control head, the EV-2 enables you
to directly control the vessel's steering system and provide
navigation commands, such as navigating to pre-determined
tracks and waypoints for example.
The Evolution system consists of the following components:

The Evolution system provides a number of features to ensure
ease of installation and minimal setup:
• Flexible mounting options — The EV-2 unit can be mounted
flat on a deck or alternatively on a bracket, for direct mounting
to a mast, wall or other surface.
Note: The arrow on the front of the unit must be
in alignment with the vessel's head (parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the vessel).
• Simple connections — all Evolution system components are
easily and simply connected using SeaTalk
connections.
• High accuracy — accurate course-keeping, to within +/- 2
degrees, in all conditions.
• Built-in heading and attitude sensor — no additional
fluxgate compass required.
• Automatic setup — no calibration required. The Rudder
