Simrad AP70 Mk2 IMO Pack (Analog) Technical Guide
The IMO Pack signifies that this system is wheelmarked for commercial use and meets the strict International Maritime Organization standards. It is a Type-Approved autopilot designed for tankers, container ships, and large commercial workboats that require certified bridge equipment.
The Analog version is designed to interface with legacy commercial steering gear, such as those using ±10V or 4-20mA signals. This allows the modern AP70 Mk2 to control older hydraulic power units (HPUs) that are still perfectly functional but require updated processing logic.
Yes, the AP70 Mk2 features certified track control when connected to a compatible ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System). This allows the vessel to follow a pre-planned route with extreme precision, adjusting for set and drift in real-time.
The system includes specialized Work Mode profiles that allow the captain to save specific steering parameters for different tasks, such as towing, trawling, or slow-speed maneuvers. This ensures the autopilot remains stable even when the ship's handling characteristics change due to external loads.
The AP70 Mk2 features a high-visibility color display with dedicated night-mode palettes. The physical rotary dial and tactile buttons are designed for rugged use by crew members wearing gloves, ensuring reliable operation in the most demanding maritime environments.
