It measures 170 x 90 x 50 mm (6.7 x 3.5 x 2 in.) and carries an IEC 60529 IPX7 water rating for incidental exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the sensor module typically mounted below decks near the boat’s center so it can “feel” the boat’s movement without being influenced by steering gear vibration or magnetic fields. On the network side, it runs from the NMEA 2000 backbone (9 to 16 Vdc) and supports autopilot control and setup from a helm control such as the GHC 20, or from a compatible Garmin chartplotter on the same NMEA 2000 network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary autopilot sensor for Reactor 40 systems, measuring heading and rate of turn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMEA 2000 connection with 9 to 16 Vdc input and LEN 4 (200 mA) for network load planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIEC 60529 IPX7 water rating for incidental exposure up to 1 m for up to 30 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully gasketed, high-impact plastic housing for below-decks installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounts in any orientation when installed on a rigid surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCCU cable length is 5 m (16 ft.); the cable must not be cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range: -15 to 70 C (5 to 158 F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the CCU location like you would a compass: mount it in a non-submerged area and keep it away from magnetic interference. A handheld compass is a practical way to check a spot before drilling, and it helps catch issues from speakers, motors, or hidden steel behind panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a baseline, keep the mounting location at least 60 cm (2 ft.) away from iron, magnets, high-current wiring, and intermittently running pumps. Larger magnets, such as subwoofer speaker magnets, should be kept about 1.5 m (5 ft.) away. Mounting on a rigid surface matters, and if you use hardware other than the supplied screws, stainless or brass fasteners help avoid magnetic influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eNetwork and electrical integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CCU ties into the NMEA 2000 backbone through a standard drop and T-connector arrangement. If the boat is on a 24 V system, the NMEA 2000 network still needs to be powered in the 9 to 16 Vdc range, so confirm your network power feed is correct before commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePowering the NMEA 2000 backbone through a switch or ignition circuit helps prevent network devices from slowly draining the battery at the dock. In a typical Reactor 40 installation, the CCU cable routes back to the system electronics and also includes leads used for connections such as the alarm and Shadow Drive sensor, depending on the steering setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis CCU is intended for Reactor 40 autopilot builds where the CCU, helm control, and any compatible chartplotter share the same NMEA 2000 network. It is a good match for refits where you are replacing a failed CCU, or for new installs where you want a clean, interference-free sensor location before finalizing cable runs and network layout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269300121781,"sku":"QBP740984","price":1199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1299143_qbp740984.jpg?v=1771543132","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp740984","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
