Simrad NAC-3 VRF Core Pack – NAC-3, Precision-9 & N2k Starter Kit

Description

High-capacity hydraulic steering control is handled by the Simrad NAC-3 VRF Core Pack, which drives compatible RPU160, RPU300, or linear systems through a high-current FET output. The package includes the NAC-3 controller, Precision-9 compass, and NMEA 2000 starter kit. Its 12V or 24V DC input and 30-amp continuous output support the listed larger hydraulic steering applications.

The Virtual Rudder Feedback engine provides the listed control method without a separate rudder reference in the supplied configuration. Verify the pump or ram, cylinder capacity, network structure, power demand, and installation location before setup.

Pump Function, Flow, and Controls

The NAC-3 is a system controller rather than a hydraulic pump. It controls compatible RPU pumps or rams through its high-current output, while the supplied data does not specify hydraulic flow, pressure, self-priming, dry-run capability, or pump duty cycle.

Plumbing, Power, and Compatibility Considerations

Verify the RPU160, RPU300, or linear ram, large-cylinder application, 12V or 24V supply, 30-amp continuous output, 50-amp peak demand, NMEA 2000 network, and Virtual Rudder Feedback configuration before installation.

Mounting, Installation, and Environmental Conditions

Confirm the 211 by 196mm NAC-3 dimensions, bulkhead mounting, terminal-block wiring, Precision-9 location, network cable routing, operating temperature, and IPX5 or IPX7 ratings before installation.

Warranty and Support

Warranty coverage is not confirmed in the available product data. Buyers should verify current coverage, exclusions, and claim procedures with the seller or manufacturer before purchase. These terms reflect currently available manufacturer information, and buyers should verify active warranty policies directly with the seller or manufacturer before purchase.

Before Ordering the Simrad NAC-3 VRF Core Pack

Verify the compatible pump or ram, cylinder volume, 30-amp output, 50-amp peak demand, 12V or 24V supply, Precision-9 compass, NMEA 2000 starter kit, and package contents before ordering.
