Introduction

The AP44 is a networked autopilot display and control unit.
The unit is compatible with a range of Navico autopilot computers,
including AC12N, AC42N, NAC-2, NAC-3 and SG05 autopilot
computers.
The AP44 systems include several modules that need to be
mounted in different locations on the vessel and that need to
interface with at least three different systems on the boat:
• The boat's steering system
• The boat's electrical system (input power)
• Other equipment onboard
All parts of the autopilot system must be installed and configured
according to supplied documentation prior to using the autopilot.
The following steps are required:
• Mechanical installation and wiring of all units. Refer to separate
documentation for the units
Software setup of the system. Refer to "Software setup" on page 28
