| Product Description T80.01 - T80.03
The T80.01 and T80.03 autopilots with intelligent, self-tuning software, (and rate gyro compass with T80.01) offer all the features you need for accuate course-holding and performance reliability in any sea conditions. Both pilots are suitable for either power or sailing vessels from 6m - 40m.
The difference between the two models comes down to whether you prefer to turn a knob to change course (T80.03) or to press buttons on a touch-control panel (T80.01).
The rate gyro compass maximises autopilot performance and minimises the effects of acceleration, roll and pitch. The combination of these two features means that T80.01 is able to steer a more accurate course with less rudder movement resulting in lower power consumption and less wear and tear on the vessel's steering system.
Simple to operate, the T80.01 offers skippers the convenience and reliability of an extra hand on the helm.
Both unit have all the features you need to hold course in all sea conditions.
All settings are automatically saved to nonvolatile memory.
The T80.03 works on both 12 and 24 VDC systems and with its large display digits draws only 0.035 amps and only 0.075 amps with full backlighting.

AUTOMATIC SENTENCE SELECTION
For navigation inputs, the system looks for groups of sentences in this order:
The search stops when the first sentence in the list is found. If it reaches BOD/XTE, and only one of these is present, the autopilot operates from the data in that sentence.
For wind vane inputs, the system looks for sentences in this order:
Note that the MWV sentence should contain the symbol R following the wind angle field.
For a digital heading input, the system looks either for the HDG or HDT sentence,
depending on which one is selected in the Menu 3 option. Variation and deviation
fields are not read.
OUTPUT DATA
The system outputs heading data in either the IIHDG sentence (without deviation or
variation data) or as IIHDT, using the magnetic variation set within the autopilot. The
repetition rate is a minimum of 8 per second.
