Simrad FU80 Follow UP remote unit with 1.7-inch display that can be used to change course, heading, rudder angle or autopilot mode changes anywhere on board. Adding a remote control to your system can provide dedicated steering controls for your fully integrated autopilot system to complement the touchscreen controls on your multifunction display. Remotes can also enable autopilot control from multiple stations: perfect for fly-bridges and other setups with two rudder arms.
Your Simrad autopilot not only keeps you on course, but also lets you steer from any onboard autopilot station. The FU80 offers intuitive Follow Up steering with a lever that can be rotated 70 degrees to port or starboard from the center position. As you move the lever, your rudder moves to the corresponding angle. The lever and rudder remain in place until a new rudder angle is set. The commanded rudder angle is clearly displayed on the FU80's integrated display and is also indicated by the position of the lever.
This wired remote control can be mounted almost anywhere. A simple design allows flush mounting using the included accessories, or external mounting on a desktop or bulkhead via an optional mounting kit. The remote control connects to your Simrad autopilot system via a single NMEA 2000® cable in your existing network, offering plug-and-play installation without complex wiring.
