The Simrad OP12 Autopilot Control from Nomadic Supply Company® is the low-profile wired autopilot keypad for Simrad autopilot systems, providing intuitive pushbutton mode control, course adjustments, and power steering — compatible with AC12, AC42, NAC-2, and NAC-3 autopilot computers and Simrad GO, NSS, and NSO evo2/3 multifunction displays.
Designed to complement the low-profile design of Simrad glass bridge instruments and displays, the OP12 can be combined with the IS42 Colour Instrument Display to create a standalone autopilot controller, or used as a dedicated autopilot keypad for GO, NSS, and NSO evo2 multifunction displays. Its 8 mm surface-mount profile enables installation almost anywhere at the helm.
Simrad OP12 Autopilot Control Features:
- Intuitive Pushbutton Operation. Simple pushbutton interface operates reliably with wet or gloved hands — dedicated auto and standby buttons engage or disengage the autopilot with a single press, and dual port/starboard buttons enable 1° or 10° course adjustments.
- Standalone Autopilot Station. Combine with the Simrad IS42 Colour Instrument Display to create a complete, standalone autopilot control station — ideal for dual-helm vessels or as the primary autopilot controller at any location aboard.
- Broad Autopilot Compatibility. Compatible with Simrad AC12, AC42, NAC-2, and NAC-3 autopilot computers, covering the full range of Simrad autopilot systems for vessels of all sizes.
- MFD Integration. Use alongside Simrad NSS and NSO evo2/3 multifunction displays as a dedicated autopilot controller — adds dedicated physical autopilot buttons to any glass helm layout.
- Low-Profile Glass Helm Design. At just 8 mm surface-mount depth and a compact 60 × 115 mm footprint, the OP12 fits cleanly in any glass helm layout alongside Simrad instruments and displays.
- Low Power Consumption. Draws just 1.4W for minimal load on the vessel’s electrical system — suitable for continuous use on any autopilot system.
