Introduction
NAC-2 and NAC-3 autopilot computers
The NAC-2 and NAC-3 autopilot computers contain the electronics
needed to operate a hydraulic steering pump or mechanical drive
unit, while also interfacing with rudder feedback units and NMEA
2000 devices.
The NAC-2 is designed for boats up to 10 metres (33 feet) in length
and is suitable for low-current pumps, mechanical drive units, or
solenoid valves (8 A continuous/16 A peak).
The NAC-3 is designed for boats 10 metres (33 feet) or greater in
length and is rated to operate high-current pumps, mechanical
drive units, and solenoid valves (30 A continuous/50 A peak).
The user interface
Autopilot functions are presented a bit differently depending on the
device being used, for example multi-function displays (MFD) and
autopilot controllers (AP44 or AP48).
This manual shows screen examples from both an MFD running
NOS software and the AP48.
MFDs running NOS software and autopilot controller
displays
The instructions in this manual are for MFDs running NOS software
and autopilot controller displays like the AP48.
The screenshots in this manual are from an MFD running NOS
software and the AP48.
MFDs running NEON software
If the home page on your MFD looks similar to the following
illustration, then you have a NEON software based MFD.
To commission the autopilot connected to your NEON software
based system, select the Set up guide button on the home screen
and follow the prompts in the setup app. Alternatively, select the
settings button on the home page and navigate to the device set
up screen. Setting up connected devices is described in the
documentation available for the MFD running NEON software.

Autopilot controllers
The NAC can be controlled by various Navico control units. This can
be dedicated autopilot controllers, Multifunction displays (MFDs)
and autopilot remote controllers used in combination with
instrument systems, or any combination of the above.
Autopilot functions
NAC-2 and NAC-3 include a large range of functions, but not all
autopilot controllers have access to all options. E.g. autopilot
systems including only an autopilot remote controller (without
display unit) do not have access to turn patterns.
Autopilot computer setup
When the autopilot installation is completed, the setup of the
autopilot computer must be performed. Failure in setting up the
autopilot correctly may prohibit the autopilot from functioning
properly.
The setup of the autopilot computer is divided in two main steps:
•Installation settings
-Including dockside and seatrial commissioning. See "Dockside
setup" on page 13 and "Sea trial" on page 21
•User adjustment of autopilot settings
