PRE OWNED SIMRAD AP-22 SIMRAD AP-22 MARINE AUTOPILOT

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Simrad AP22 (P/N 22085849) is a dedicated autopilot controller known for its ultra-clear, high-contrast LCD and its intuitive four-button navigation interface. Designed for seamless integration with the J300X and J3000X junction units, the AP22 features advanced software that automatically filters out sea-state interference, ensuring precise course-keeping in various weather conditions.

Its compact, low-profile design allows it to be flush-mounted into consoles with limited space, yet it provides the full functionality of larger units, including "No Drift" steering and automated turn patterns. Because of its rugged construction and legacy reliability, the AP22 is a highly sought-after component for operators looking to maintain or restore existing Simrad Robertson systems.

KEY FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

-- Intensive Adaptive Steering: Uses proprietary algorithms to learn the vessel's hull characteristics and steering lag, optimizing rudder response to save fuel and reduce wear.

-- No Drift Mode: When connected to a GPS/Chartplotter, the AP22 can maintain a straight line over ground by automatically compensating for the effects of wind and current.

-- Multi-Station Support: Up to five AP22 or AP21 control heads can be networked together using the Robnet bus, allowing for control from the flybridge, aft deck, or interior helm.

-- Automated Turn Patterns: Features pre-programmed maneuvers such as U-turns and C-turns, making it ideal for search patterns or trolling.

-- Waypoint Arrival Alarm: Provides an audible and visual alert when the vessel reaches a target waypoint, requiring the operator to manually confirm the next leg of the journey.

-- Rudder Position Display: Provides a continuous digital readout of the rudder angle, essential for safe maneuvering in tight harbors or at slow speeds.

TYPICAL CONDITION (USED/REFURBISHED)

Our refurbished AP22 units from ship-recycling yards are meticulously bench-tested using a J300X master junction unit. We pay close attention to the LCD clarity, ensuring no missing pixels or "fading" common in older units. Each unit's Robnet communication ports are verified for signal integrity, and the front membrane keys are checked for tactile responsiveness. We also ensure that the internal memory successfully stores calibration and heading offset data after power is disconnected.

COMPATIBLE BRAND MODELS:
