All built-in controls are designed for ease of use with wet or gloved hands, in commercial settings such as fishing vessels and workboats. The A2004 also supports a wide range of Simrad autopilot remotes and steering levers. Continuum Steering Technology Every Simrad steering innovation builds upon a legacy encompassing over sixty years of autopilot development, which continues to this day. This legacy is exemplified by the Continuum algorithm: the software behind Simrad steering technology. Continuum steering distils years of research and on-water testing into a flexible software solution, capable of delivering reliable auto-steering performance tuned specifically to match a vessel’s control characteristics. With a comprehensive range of hardware and interface modules, Simrad autopilot solutions can be tailored to suit a wide range of commercial vessels and applications. Optically Bonded 4.1-inch Color Display To ensure optimal visibility in all conditions, the A2004’s colour LCD panel is optically bonded to its protective glass covering – eliminating the possibility of internal condensation. Transflective LCD technology makes use of reflected sunlight to brighten rather than obscure the screen, delivering superior day-time visibility and lower power consumption compared to traditional backlit displays. An ultra-wide 170 degree viewing angle means key autopilot information is clearly visible at a glance, from anywhere in sight of the display. Thruster Integration & Rudder Feedback Support The A2004 enables autopilot control of a single thruster via an optional AD80 or SD80 interface module. The thruster can be set to engage automatically below a user-defined speed threshold, and configured separately for normal and Work modes. The A2004 also supports specialized heavy-duty rudder feedback units designed for reliable operation aboard commercial vessels.
