Garmin GHP™ Reactor 40 Autopilot Pack for Sailing Boats
With GHC50 display and Type A Hydraulic Linear Actuator
All in one, all included, both Reactor Retrofit package and Linear Hydraulic Actuator.
Solid-state 9-axis AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference System) compass.
Reduction of deviation and course errors, rudder movement and lower electrical consumption, for precise and comfortable navigation.
Designed to be installed without orientation constraints.
Significantly reduced calibration and initial setup times.
Heading and wind angle hold (gWind™ transducer required) with tacking and gybing functions.
Garmin, with the innovative GHP Reactor series of autopilots, offers advanced technology for sailing and powerboats. GHP Reactor is one of the most sensitive and responsive systems on the market.
GHP Reactor autopilots include features such as heading hold, wind angle hold with tack and gybe functions and much more.
The GHP Reactor is an extremely versatile system. Compatible with hydraulic, mechanical and solenoid steering systems, it is ideal for both sailing and motor boats. It represents an indispensable aid during navigation when you need to leave the helm to dedicate yourself to other activities or to the control of other on-board devices.
AHRS System - 9-axis solid state compass
The GHP Reactor delivers unprecedented performance through the use of a 9-axis solid-state compass and a chartplotter reference system (AHRS) that minimizes course and heading errors, thus limiting rudder movement and vessel power consumption, ensuring precise and comfortable course keeping.
Reactive in every situation
This extraordinary autopilot adapts to any sea condition to allow you to maintain the course. The GHP Reactor is able to perfectly maintain the set course even in case of rolling and pitching in rough seas.
Significantly reduced calibration and initial setup times
All autopilots require commissioning and calibration. The new Reactor autopilots have simpler processes than previous versions and setup and calibration times have been significantly reduced, from 20 to 5 minutes.
Full integration with Garmin chartplotters
With a compatible Garmin network chartplotter, you can have total control of the GHP Reactor directly from the display. With BlueChart® g2 Vision cartography (sold separately), you can exploit the potential of the innovative Autoguidance function, automatically following the best route to reach a point on the GPS. The GHP Reactor, in addition to holding the course in any sea conditions, can easily perform numerous pre-programmed procedures, such as search and trolling.
Installation
The GHP Reactor autopilot can be installed on sailing and powerboats that use CR hydraulic, mechanical, solenoid and reversible pump actuators from other manufacturers. It can also be used for refitting on boats with existing systems.
Linear Actuators
Mechanical Linear Actuator for Sailboats - Type A: The linear actuators, resistant, compact and lightweight, are designed for prolonged use. Extremely efficient, they allow to minimize the energy consumption of the vessel. The Type A actuator can be used on vessels with a displacement of up to 13 tons equipped with mechanical steering. Mounted below deck, they move the rudder axis directly by acting on the predisposed arm or on the appropriate sector.
Hydraulic Linear Actuator for Sailboats - Type A: Type A hydraulic linear actuators are designed for vessels with a displacement of up to 22 tons and consist of a hydraulic cylinder with clutch. The Type A actuator connects to the rudder stock via an independent arm.
Hydraulic Linear Actuator for Sailboats - Type B: Type B hydraulic linear actuators are designed for vessels with a displacement of up to 35 tons and consist of a hydraulic cylinder with clutch, a reversible pump and a reservoir. The Type B actuator connects to the rudder stock via an independent arm.
Connecting to network devices
The GHP Reactor autopilot connects to the Garmin Marine Network via NMEA 2000®, allowing data to be shared with compatible chartplotters. It supports up to 3 GHC™ 50 control heads for data viewing, which can also be controlled via an optional wireless remote control or with quatix®, the world's first GPS watch for marine navigation.
GRF™ 10 Sensor
The GHP Reactor for mechanical/hydraulic/solenoid steering systems requires, when not included in the actuator, a Garmin GRF 10 sensor to obtain rudder position data and increase course stability while underway.
