Description
Raymarine ACU-100 Actuator Control Unit Engineering & Drive Logic Analysis
The Raymarine ACU-100 Actuator Control Unit acts as the critical power interface between the Evolution sensor core and the drive unit. It manages internal electronic braking and power distribution to ensure the autopilot steering is both quiet and energy-efficient for smaller battery banks.
Engineered specifically for small powerboats and sailboats utilizing the Raymarine Type 0.5 hydraulic drive system.
Technical Key Features
- Twelve volt DC power input rating
- Supplies seven amps of continuous current
- Built in SeaTalkng network data interface
- IPX2 rated splash resistant casing design
- Supports Raymarine Type zero point five
- Drive current output is seven amps
- Operating temperature range is fifty degrees

Raymarine ACU-100 Actuator Control Unit Technical Guide
Which drive units is the ACU-100 compatible with?
The ACU-100 is designed for low-power drive units, specifically the Raymarine Wheel Drive, Tiller Drive, and the 0.5L Hydraulic Pump. It is the core power component for the EV-100 system and is optimized for vessels under 16,500 lbs displacement.

Does the ACU-100 provide power to the SeaTalkng network?
Unlike the larger ACU units, the ACU-100 does not provide power to the SeaTalkng backbone. You must use a separate power cable (A06049) to energize your network, which then provides power to the EV-1 sensor and the p70s control head.

Can I use a rudder reference sensor with the ACU-100?
Yes, the ACU-100 has a dedicated terminal block for a rudder reference unit. While many wheel pilot users rely on virtual rudder feedback, adding a physical sensor significantly improves the autopilot's performance in heavy following seas.

What is the maximum amperage output?
The ACU-100 is rated for 7A continuous output. This makes it very energy efficient for small boats, but it means you cannot use it with Type 1 or Type 2 pumps, as the higher current demand will trip the unit's internal safety breakers.

Is the ACU-100 waterproof?
The ACU-100 is rated IPX2, meaning it is protected against dripping water but should be mounted in a dry, ventilated location. Avoid mounting it in low bilge areas or where it might be exposed to direct spray, as the wiring terminals are susceptible to corrosion.
