description

The h1000 pilot display is designed to be mounted above or below decks. The display head allows control of the pilot and by installing multiple display heads, gives control at any station. It can be connected to all other h1000 Instruments via the Fastnet2 connectors to provide an integrated autopilot and navigational system.

Caution: it is essential that the pilot is calibrated before operation. Details are given in the calibration section of this manual.

In an integrated system, boat speed is supplied from the h1000 Speed/Depth Interface and wind speed and wind angle from the h1000 Wind Interface via Fastnet2. These allow the pilot to operate in the Compass and Wind modes. When a CND or NMEA position fixer is connected to the system, Navigate mode becomes available. NMEA data is connected to the Universal Interface and then broadcast across Fastnet2 and used by the pilot.

The display heads are supplied with a clip-in mounting bracket, which allows for easy installation. Access from behind is not necessary to secure the unit in place. However to prevent theft or if removal of the unit is not required, then locking studs and thumbnuts are supplied to allow for permanent fixing.
