The Wheelmark
The AP70 and AP80 system are produced and tested in accordance with the European Marine
Equipment Directive 96/98. This means that the systems comply with the highest level of
tests for nonmilitary marine electronic navigation equipment existing today.
The Marine Equipment Directive 96/98/EC (MED), as amended by 98/95/EC for ships fl ying
EU or EFTA fl ags, applies to all new ships, to existing ships not previously carrying such
equipment, and to ships having their equipment replaced.
This means that all system components covered by annex A1 must be type-approved
accordingly and must carry the Wheelmark, which is a symbol of conformity with the Marine
Equipment Directive.
While the autopilot system may be installed on vessels not needing to comply with the
Marine Equipment Directive, those requiring compliance must have one Control unit set-up
as a "master unit" in order for the installation to be approved.
Navico has no responsibility for the incorrect installation or use of the autopilot, so it
is essential for the person in charge of the installation to be familiar with the relevant
requirements as well as with the contents of the manuals, which covers correct installation
and use.
