The OP12 wired remote seamlessly integrates with Simrad autopilot systems to provide intuitive mode control, course adjustments, and power steering.
Designed to complement the low-profile design of Simrad glass bridge instruments and displays, this remote can be combined with the IS42 Color Instrument Display to create a standalone autopilot controller, or used as a dedicated autopilot keypad for NSS and NSO evo2 multi-function displays.
Key Features
- Intuitive operation: A simple pushbutton interface makes the OP12 easy to use in rough conditions, and reliably responsive to wet or gloved hands.
- Single keystroke: Dedicated auto and standby buttons enable or disable the autopilot with a single press, so it's easy to free your hands from the wheel or instantly take control whenever you need to.
- NoDrift Steering: The "mode" button engages NoDrift steering or navigates to the current waypoint on your Simrad chartplotter, while dual port and starboard buttons allow course adjustments in one-degree or ten-degree increments. Smartly shaped buttons let you distinguish between increments at a touch, for safe operation in low visibility
- Easy installation: The OP12 is simple to mount, and offers single-cable NMEA 2000 connectivity for both power and data. Multiple keypads can be installed to offer autopilot control from anywhere onboard, perfect for dual-helm vessels.
- Autopilot control with IS42 display: Pair the Simrad OP12 keypad with an IS42 Color Instrument Display to create a fully functional control head for your compatible Simrad autopilot system.
- Continuum Technology: Uses Simrad Continuum autopilot technology to steer to a set course, maintain your heading against wind and tide with No Drift steering, and fish or cruise easier with automated turn patterns and depth contour tracking
- Compatible with Simrad AC12, AC42, NAC-2 and NAC-3 autopilot computers
- Low-profile glass helm design: Designed to complement Simrad glass helm displays and instruments, the OP12 features modern styling with a low surface-mount profile of just 5/16" (8mm). A compact footprint enables mounting almost anywhere, while still offering large buttons for easy operation by gloved hands or in heavy seas.
