The A2004 is a dedicated autopilot controller designed to meet
the needs of professional mariners aboard a variety of commercial vessels. It
features a proven Simrad interface, presented on a wide-angle and zero-fog
colour display. Engineered for responsiveness and ease of use, the A2004 pairs
a precision rotary control dial with dedicated buttons for instant access to
steering modes, a custom-configurable Work mode, and automated turn patterns.
The A2004 builds upon the proven user interface and keypad
layout of the Simrad AP70 and AP80 professional autopilot controllers, and
delivers consistency with the latest generation of Simrad radar, sonar, and
ECDIS displays.A large aluminium rotary control dial enables quick but precise
steering adjustments, while dedicated keys offer instant access to steering
modes, a custom-configurable Work mode, and automated turn patterns. All
built-in controls are designed for ease of use with wet or gloved hands, in
commercial settings such as fishing vessels and workboats. The A2004 also
supports a wide range of Simrad autopilot remotes and steering levers.
Every Simrad steering innovation builds upon a legacy
encompassing over sixty years of autopilot development, which continues to this
day. This legacy is exemplified by the Continuum algorithm: the software behind
Simrad steering technology. Continuum steering distils years of research and
on-water testing into a flexible software solution, capable of delivering
reliable auto-steering performance tuned specifically to match a vessel’s
control characteristics. With a comprehensive range of hardware and interface
modules, Simrad autopilot solutions can be tailored to suit a wide range of
commercial vessels and applications.
To ensure optimal visibility in all conditions, the A2004’s
colour LCD panel is optically bonded to its protective glass covering —
eliminating the possibility of internal condensation. Transflective LCD
technology makes use of reflected sunlight to brighten rather than obscure the
screen, delivering superior day-time visibility and lower power consumption
compared to traditional backlit displays. An ultra-wide 170 degree viewing
angle means key autopilot information is clearly visible at a glance, from
anywhere in sight of the display.
The A2004 enables autopilot control of a single thruster via an
optional AD80 or SD80 interface module. The thruster can be set to engage
automatically below a user-defined speed threshold, and configured separately
for normal and Work modes. The A2004 also supports specialized heavy-duty
rudder feedback units designed for reliable operation aboard commercial
vessels.
