It runs on 12\/24 V DC (with a +30% \/ -10% supply tolerance) and fits a footprint of about 211 x 196 x 65.5 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt supports steering to Heading, Wind, or Waypoint, with wind steering options that include apparent, true, and polar modes. Response features like Gust Response, Recovery, and High Wind Response are built in to help the pilot hold a steady course when conditions change quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12\/24 V DC power and drive support, with a recommended 30 A fused supply for the high-current drive output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMEA 2000 connectivity via a single CAN terminal (1 LEN) for integration with an H5000 network backbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMEA 0183 input support for common navigation and heading sentences, plus output options for heading at up to 10 Hz and rudder angle (RSA) at up to 5 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable steering modes: Heading, Wind, or Waypoint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWind steering modes that include apparent, true, and polar options for sail-specific control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive outputs for typical autopilot actuators, including reversible pump, rotary drive motor, hydraulic ram setups, and solenoid valve control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRudder feedback support for RF300, RF45X, RF25N, and RF70 sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal alarm and external I\/O connections for tying the pilot into onboard alerting and control wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pilot computer is meant to be part of the B\u0026amp;G H5000 family and connects into the H5000 network over an NMEA 2000 Micro-C style backbone. If your boat already has an H5000 network in place, it installs as another device on the backbone using a T-connector and drop cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor boats mixing older instruments with newer networks, the NMEA 0183 input and output ports make it possible to exchange key navigation and heading data with devices that are not on NMEA 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan for a below-decks location that stays dry, is easy to reach for service, and keeps high-current drive wiring runs practical. Power is typically brought in through a dedicated, fused feed, and the unit provides polarity indication to help confirm wiring before commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen wiring solenoid valves, note that the pilot computer is intended to power 12 V DC or 24 V DC solenoids directly. If a valve set is externally powered, isolating relays are required so the pilot computer is not switching a live external supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unit is a good match for performance sailboats that want wind-aware steering modes, as well as short-handed cruisers who rely on an autopilot for long upwind legs and downwind runs. It is also a solid fit when you need both network integration and hardwired NMEA 0183 data paths in the same steering system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH5000 Pilot Computer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixing screws (3.5 x 19 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro-C drop cable (male)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro-C T-Joiner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 A fuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026G","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269422543029,"sku":"QBP800755","price":2599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300165_qbp800755.jpg?v=1771543808","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp800755","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
