General
Introduction
The TP10, TP22, and TP32 Tillerpilots from Simrad are suitable for a
wide variety of tiller-steered sailing yachts up to 12 m (39ft) overall
length.
Combining highly sophisticated electronics with advanced software
and a powerful mechanical drive, they are capable of providing
reliable and accurate steering performance under a variety of
different conditions with minimal current consumption.
The Tillerpilots have been designed so that, while they represent the
state-of-the-art in marine autopilots with many advanced features,
they remain very simple to operate, using only five keys to access all
functions.
Sophisticated functions of the TP22 and TP32 include Steer To Wind
mode and Nav mode (Steer To GPS) using external equipment
linked directly to the Tillerpilots via the SimNet high-speed bus, or
through the built-in NMEA 0183 interface. There is also the option to
operate the Tillerpilots remotely using a remote controller. For more
details please refer to our website: www.simrad-yachting.com.
To ensure the best results from your Tillerpilot, it is essential that the
unit is installed correctly. Please read this manual thoroughly before
installation.
