Evolution Autopilots EV-1 Sensor Core

A New Level of Autopilot Control

Race, cruise or fish - Evolution will take command

No fuss, easy to install and robust - the Evolution autopilot combines Raymarine's autopilot expertise, FLIR Systems' R&D, and advanced aerospace guidance technology to create Evolution Ai control algorithms that deliver a new level of accurate autopilot control.

Key Features

• Automagic^TM - No lengthy calibration procedures to perform. No compass calibration required. Plug and play connections
• Easy to install - Freedom from the restrictions of conventional heading sensors. EV sensor core can be installed above or below deck. Install upside-down or off the vessel's centre line
• Aerospace technology - 9-axis precision monitoring of pitch, roll, yaw and heading
• Fuel efficient - Evolution autopilots steer so accurately they will save fuel and get you to your destination faster

Race Performance

When only the best will do. Razor sharp course keeping. Fine-tuned for racers!

Cruising Performance

Superb course keeping and crisp turns in all conditions - the Raymarine skippers choice

Leisure Performance

For relaxed boating, when soaking up the sun is more attractive than precise course keeping

Your Evolution autopilot system

EV-1 Cockpit and Inboard Autopilots

EV-1 autopilots consist of a Control Head, EV-1 Sensor, Autopilot Control Unit (ACU) and drive unit. The drive unit (inboard mechanical/ hydraulic or cockpit mounted) and correct ACU for your vessel is dependent on the steering system and displacement of the vessel itself.

The EV Sensor Core

At the centre of every Evolution system is the intelligent EV sensor core, a 9-axis sensor that monitors vessel motion in all three dimensions. The innovative EV sensor core combines advanced solid-state sensors with the Evolution autopilot processor into a single easy-to-install housing.

Mount the EV sensor core above or below decks, the rugged enclosure is fully sealed and built to IPX6 and IPX7 waterproofing and submersion standards.

EV Sensor Core Benefits

• Precision monitoring of heading, pitch, roll, and yaw allowing the autopilot to evolve instantly as sea conditions and vessel dynamics change
• Flexible installation options. Mount above or below deck
• Simple SeaTalk^ng connectivity to the control head and ACU
• Solid state sensor technology delivers dynamic accuracy to within 2 degrees in all conditions
• Auto-compensation for on board magnetic fields and reliable heading accuracy in the northern and southern extremes
• Fast and reliable heading data for MARPA, radar overlay, and heading modes on Raymarine multifunction displays
