Raymarine p70Rs Rotary Autopilot Controller Unit

Description

Adjust heading through a rotary dial with the Raymarine p70Rs Autopilot Controller, a dedicated control head for compatible Raymarine Evolution autopilot systems. The 3.45-inch optically bonded color TFT LCD uses a 320 x 240 resolution and 1,200 cd/m2 brightness. SeaTalkng provides the 12V DC nominal supply and network connection, while NMEA 2000 compatibility requires the appropriate Raymarine network integration.

The p70Rs measures 110 mm wide by 115 mm high, with a 151.65 mm depth that includes cable-bend radius. It operates from 9V to 16V DC, draws 131 mA, uses 1.57W, and carries a LEN value of 3. IPX6 and IPX7 protection ratings and a minus 20°C to 55°C operating range apply to the specified control-head environment.

Key Specifications of the Raymarine p70Rs Autopilot Controller

• The p70Rs uses a 3.45-inch optically bonded color TFT LCD with 320 x 240 resolution for Evolution autopilot control.
• A rotary dial and push-button layout provide the documented heading and autopilot-mode control interface for compatible powerboat installations.
• SeaTalkng provides the nominal 12V DC supply and network connection, with NMEA 2000 integration available through compatible adapters.
• Operating voltage ranges from 9V to 16V DC, while 131 mA draw and 1.57W consumption support network-power planning.
• Flush mounting requires 110 mm width, 115 mm height, and 151.65 mm depth including the stated cable-bend clearance.
• IPX6 and IPX7 ratings accompany a minus 20°C to 55°C operating range for the documented helm-controller environment.
• The package includes a sun cover, bezel, panel gasket, mounting screws, documentation, suppression ferrite, and SeaTalkng spur cable.

System Integration and Control

This Raymarine controller is a control head only and requires a compatible Evolution autopilot system with the appropriate EV sensor core, ACU, steering drive, and SeaTalkng network. It does not include a heading sensor, drive unit, actuator control unit, or complete autopilot package.

Raymarine identifies the p70Rs as a rotary pilot controller for powerboat installations, while the p70s uses push-button control for sailboat applications. Confirm the intended vessel control layout, required Evolution components, SeaTalkng network capacity, display mounting depth, and available 12V DC supply before installation.

Why Choose the Raymarine p70Rs Autopilot Controller

The Raymarine p70Rs Autopilot Controller combines a 3.45-inch optically bonded display, rotary dial, push buttons, SeaTalkng connection, 1,200 cd/m2 brightness, and IPX6 and IPX7 ratings. Its 320 x 240 resolution, 9V to 16V operating range, 131 mA draw, LEN 3 load, and 110 mm by 115 mm flush-mount format help buyers assess requirements for an Evolution autopilot control station.

Setup and Network Considerations

Confirm that the vessel uses a compatible Raymarine Evolution autopilot before selecting this controller. Plan the 110 mm by 115 mm flush-mount location, 151.65 mm depth including cable bend, SeaTalkng spur-cable route, 9V to 16V DC supply, and available LEN capacity. Follow Raymarine documentation for network connections, display installation, autopilot setup, and system commissioning.

Warranty and Support

Raymarine warranty terms vary by product and region, and the supplied specifications do not provide a named warranty period for the p70Rs controller. Mulmarine.com can help you review Evolution-system compatibility, display mounting dimensions, SeaTalkng requirements, 12V network supply, LEN capacity, and required EV sensor, ACU, and steering-drive components before purchase. Review the applicable Raymarine warranty coverage and documented package contents before ordering.

Before Ordering the Raymarine p70Rs Autopilot Controller

Confirm that your vessel has, or will include, a compatible Raymarine Evolution autopilot, EV sensor core, ACU, steering drive, and SeaTalkng network. You should verify the 110 mm by 115 mm flush-mount space, 151.65 mm depth, 9V to 16V supply, 131 mA power draw, LEN 3 capacity, cable route, and whether the rotary p70Rs control format matches your helm requirements.
