 | Raymarine S3G Autopilot System Core Pack | | Product Description | Raymarine S3G Advanced Autopilot System Corepack with AST and built in Rate Gyro. For use with 12/24 volt systems and Type 2 or Type 3 Drive Units. Using highly advanced AST (Advanced Steering Technology) software and a built-in rate gyro transducer, the 400G course computer maintains a razor sharp course, with smooth, crisp and controlled turns right onto your next heading.
Intelligent AutoLearn Function-
With the new ST6001 and ST7001 control units, AST and AutoLearn* software learns your boat's steering characteristics and automatically sets up your pilot for optimum performance.
Fastrim AST corrects for any changes in standing helm required to keep the vessel on course (e.g. weather helm or loss of one engine), keeping you right on course when the going gets tough.
Sensitive Response AST allows you to retain complete control of how the pilot steers your boat to provide the most comfortable ride or conserve power on long sail passages. MARPA and Radar/Chart Overlay G-Series course computers also provide accurate and stable heading data for MARPA and chart overlay functions on Raymarine's Pathfinder radars and chartplotters.
*AutoLearn requires ST6001/ST7001 control unit with 150G / 400G course computer.
The S3G core pack is designed for use with Type 2 and Type 3 drive units.
Corepack Components Explained:
Course Computer-
The course computer is the intelligence behind your autopilot system. It includes a powerful microprocessor, programmed with all the steering know-how we've gained over many years and hundreds of thousands of boats. The course computer performs the main course keeping function and also houses the electronic control circuitry for the drive unit and power amplifier. NMEA inputs and outputs enable it to operate easily with equipment from other manufacturers. A SeaTalk interface provides connection to the control head and communication with other Raymarine devices.
Fluxgate Compass-
The fluxgate compass module houses a state-of-the-art electronic compass mechanism, capable of tracking your boat's heading with incredible accuracy. The mechanism is gimballed, enabling it to handle pitch and roll movements up to +/-35o. The fluxgate compass connects directly to the course computer. It mounts on a bulkhead below decks on most boats; if yours is a steel-decked boat, the compass will be mounted above decks, out of the reach of magnetic interference.
Rudder Reference Transducer-
This transducer performs a vital role too: it tells the course computer the precise position of your boat's rudder at all times. the rotary model is most commonly required; the linear model is used for hydraulic outboard steering systems. The rotary model is mounted adjacent to the rudder stock, while the optional linear model is mounted on the bullhorn ram of outboard engines.
To complete a Raymarine autopilot system a Control Head, Corepack and Drive Unit are required.
