NavPilot 1000 autopilot with HCS approval

The NAVpilot-1000 is a type-approved autopilot designed for integration with analog or solenoid steering systems, which are commonly found on larger vessels. This autopilot is engineered to provide reliable heading control across a wide range of vessel types. It offers both IMO-compliant and Non-IMO operational modes to meet different steering system configurations and navigation requirements. Whether installed on a commercial vessel or a large pleasure craft, the NAVpilot-1000 delivers precise and adaptive steering performance for vessels up to 100 M.(max 10.000 GT)

NavPilot for Commercial Vessels and Luxury Yachts

The NavPilot 1000 is an ideal autopilot for commercial vessels and luxury yachts. It can be connected to analog or electromagnetic steering systems and features both IMO and non-IMO modes to meet all steering types and operating requirements. The smooth TURN mode ensures confident maneuvering with an advanced steering algorithm specifically designed for larger vessels.

The NavPilot 1000 comes with an easy-to-read control unit that displays key navigation data on a bright 5.7-inch color LCD screen. The robust rotary knob is comfortable to turn and press, even in challenging weather conditions. The NavPilot 1000 connects via NMEA2000 to the NavNet TZtouch series of Multi Function Displays (MFDs) and can be activated and configured from any MFD on the network.

FEATURES

Straight Steering with AUTO Mode
The NAVpilot-1000 uses an advanced steering algorithm tailored for larger vessels. Features like TURN Mode help you execute smooth, confident turns.
Designed for vessels up to 100 meters.

• Work Profiles
  Since sea conditions and steering preferences vary by weather, location, and operator, the NAVpilot-1000 can store six different Work Profiles. Each profile saves settings from Auto Tuning or manual adjustments, allowing easy selection based on the day, location, or user.
• Auto Tuning
  Before use, Auto Tuning fine-tunes the control settings. During this process, the vessel zig-zags toward the set heading, automatically adjusting rudder gain, counter rudder, and turn rate to fit the vessel’s handling.

IMO Type-Approved
The NAVpilot-1000 is certified with Type Approval This certification confirms that the product complies with international marine safety, quality, and reliability standards.

Clear and Durable Controls
The NAVpilot-1000 features a 5.7” color display with large, high-contrast characters for easy reading. Its sturdy rotary knob and buttons provide smooth operation, even in rough seas.

Follow Routes Easily with NAV Mode
The NAVpilot-1000 assists in steering vessels along monitored or active routes using NAV mode.
＊Available in Non-IMO mode only.

• MFD Connectivity
  Connect the NAVpilot-1000 to FURUNO NavNet TZtouch MFDs＊1 via NMEA2000. You can activate AUTO and NAV modes and adjust the course directly from the MFD screen.
