SIMRAD RF40 Rudder Feedback Unit

The RF40 is a medium-duty rudder feedback unit for use with NAC-1 and NAC-2 autopilot systems. Rudder feedbacks measure and report actual rudder angle to your autopilot computer, enabling precise rudder control for smooth and accurate steering.

The RF40 is designed for direct connection to NAC-1 and NAC-2 autopilot computers, with variable voltage output and an attached 15 meter (49 foot) cable with plug-and-play connector. The connector can be easily removed for use in other applications. Its extended cable and direct connection make the RF40 an ideal alternative to NMEA 2000® connected sensors, such as the RF25N, in situations where it is impractical or otherwise unnecessary to extend a vessel’s NMEA 2000® network within reach of the rudder.
