000-14439-001 - Navico Group Simrad RF40 Rotary Rudder Reference for NAC1 and NAC2

Simrad RF40 Rotary Rudder Reference for NAC1 and NAC2

• +/-120-degree rudder angle measurement
• Plug-and-play connection to NAC-1 and NAC-2 autopilot computers
• 15 metre (49 foot) attached cable

The RF40 is a medium-duty rudder feedback unit for use with NAC-1 and NAC-2 autopilot systems. Rudder feedbacks measure and report actual rudder angle to your autopilot computer, enabling precise rudder control for smooth and accurate steering.

The RF40 is designed for direct connection to NAC-1 and NAC-2 autopilot computers, with variable voltage output and an attached 15 metre (49 foot) cable with plug-and-play connector. The connector can be easily removed for use in other applications. Its extended cable and direct connection make the RF40 an ideal alternative to NMEA 2000(R) connected sensors, such as the RF25, in situations where it is impractical or otherwise unnecessary to extend a vessel's NMEA 2000(R) network within reach of the rudder.

The Simrad RF40 Rotary Rudder Reference, part number 000-14439-001, is a medium-duty rudder feedback unit designed for maritime navigational systems. This component provides precise rudder angle measurement, supporting a range of +/-120 degrees. It is intended for direct integration with Simrad NAC-1 and NAC-2 autopilot computers, facilitating accurate rudder control and stable steering. The RF40 includes a 15-meter (49-foot) attached cable with a plug-and-play connector, simplifying installation. This direct connection and extended cable length offer an alternative to NMEA 2000 connected sensors, particularly in scenarios where extending an NMEA 2000 network to the rudder location is not practical or required. The unit is suitable for IT buyers managing marine electronics procurement, ensuring reliable autopilot system functionality.
