The Simrad Wheelpilot WP32 is a self-contained automatic
pilot suitable for a wide variety of wheel steered sailing yachts
up to 12m (39 ft) overall length.
Combining highly sophisticated electronics with advanced soft-
ware and a powerful mechanical drive, they are capable of pro-
viding reliable and accurate steering performance under a vari-
ety of different conditions with minimal current consumption.
The Wheelpilot has been designed so that, while it represents
the state-of-the-art in marine autopilots with many advanced
features, it remains very simple to operate, using only five
keys to access all functions.
Sophisticated functions available include Steer To Wind mode
and Nav mode (Steer To GPS), which use external equipment
linked directly to the Wheelpilot via the SimNet high-speed
bus, or through the inbuilt NMEA0183 interface.
There is also the option to operate the Wheelpilot remotely
using the HR22 Hand Remote. For more details, please refer to
the separate instruction card supplied with the HR22.
To ensure the best results from your Wheelpilot, it is essential
that the unit is installed correctly. Please read this manual
thoroughly before installation.
