Description
The NautoPilot 5000 Series is part of the Steering System Family AS (Advanced Steer-
ing) and is used to control navigation at sea for all sizes of seagoing vessels.
The NautoPilot 5000 Series was designed for use in high speed craft, but is equally
suited for all types of mono-- and multihull vessels with any kind of rudder control.
The NautoPilot 5000 Series complies with IMO resolutions.
By setting a number of easily accessible parameters, the Autopilot’s steering
characteristics can be adjusted (depending on the type of NautoPilot 5000 Series) to the
vessel’s dynamic behavior and the prevailing conditions (sea state, load).
There are 4 different types of NautoPilot (which vary in different operation modes) and
2 different applications:
Type: NP 5100
Type: NP 5300
Type: NP 5400
Type: NP 5500
