Simrad NAC-D Autopilot Computer f/Steer By Wire

Description

Digital steering control is the focus of the Simrad NAC-D Steer-By-Wire Autopilot Computer, which connects compatible steer-by-wire equipment through a CAN bus interface. The unit does not use a hydraulic pump and sends electronic drive commands through the connected digital steering system. Its 9 to 31.2V DC input, slim bulkhead housing, and NMEA 2000 Micro-C connection define the listed installation arrangement.

The NAC-D supports a compatible NAC-D steer-by-wire controller and includes a network termination kit. Verify the digital steering system, CAN connection, power supply, control architecture, and required external autopilot components before installation.

Pump Function, Flow, and Controls

The NAC-D is a digital steer-by-wire computer rather than a pump or hydraulic drive unit. It provides electronic torque and direction commands through the CAN bus, while pump flow, pressure, self-priming, dry-run capability, and hydraulic duty cycle do not apply.

Plumbing, Power, and Compatibility Considerations

Verify the compatible digital steering system, NAC-D controller, CAN bus connection, NMEA 2000 network, 9 to 31.2V DC supply, control architecture, and required external components before installation.

Mounting, Installation, and Environmental Conditions

Confirm the 170 by 145mm chassis dimensions, slim bulkhead mounting, connector access, CAN wiring, network termination, operating temperature, and IPX7 rating 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-D Steer-By-Wire Autopilot Computer

Verify the digital steering system, NAC-D controller, CAN bus, NMEA 2000 connection, 9 to 31.2V supply, termination kit, external components, mounting location, and package contents before ordering.
