AUTOPILOT - NAVIPILOT V HSC: High-Speed Craft Type Approved Marine Autopilot.

The NAVIPILOT High Speed Craft Marine Autopilot is the first type approved marine autopilot designed for application worldwide on all types of vessels - displacement ships, hydroplanes, high speed monohulls and catamarans. The NAVIPILOT HSC Marine Autopilot was created with the most modern computer programs to provide the highest fuel economy and low operational demands.

NAVIPILOT V HSC marine autopilot can be interfaced to any type of rudder and also water jet control. Created with the most modern computer programs to provide the highest fuel economy and low operational demands, this marine autopilot provides the operator with perfect control for all types of vessels including high-speed craft. It also exceeds the demands of IMO Resolution A.822(19) High-Speed Craft (HSC Code). The very modern design of the control unit includes a tailor-made and clearly laid out transflective liquid crystal display, which permanently indicates all information required by contemporary navigation demands:

• Current heading
• Set heading (course to steer)
• Rudder angle (analogue ±35°)
• Steering mode (AUTO/MAN/NAV)
• Parameters for:
  - rudder limit
  - weather
  - rate (°/min.) or radius
  - speed (knots)
  - load (%)
  - off course alarm
  - magnetic variation

Changes in parameter and heading settings are carried out by a single analogue cardinal control disk.

Model Variations

In order to meet the many and varying demands made by today's modern shipbuilding industry, the C. PLATH multi- purpose marine autopilot NAVIPILOT V is offered in four basic versions. These are:

• NAVIPILOT V / G Marine Autopilot
  

This version accepts a gyrocompass heading input and is intended for ships with no transmitting magnetic compass system.

• NAVIPILOT V / GM Marine Autopilot
  

GM denotes that this version features inputs for both gyrocompass and magnetic compass heading information. This is today's most widely used configuration because the autopilot will operate on the heading information from the magnetic compass should failure of the gyrocompass occur. During the normal operation mode, the headings from both gyrocompass and magnetic compass are processed in the independent course monitor (complies with IMO Res. A.342(XI) integrated in the NAVIPILOT V / GM Marine Autopilot.

• NAVIPILOT V / G-TMC Marine Autopilot
  

In addition to the features of the GM version, the G-TMC configuration provides the operator with three permanent and separate outputs of the magnetic compass heading in the format of 6 steps per one degree of azimuth.

In the event of a gyrocompass failure, all major receivers of the gyrocompass heading, such as radar, Satcom, GPS, digital repeaters, etc., can be switched over immediately to the heading of the magnetic compass.
