Furuno - SafeHelm2 Sensor/Adaptor Pack

Enhance Your NavPilot with Extra Safety and Versatility

The Furuno SafeHelm2 Sensor/Adaptor Pack offers an invaluable upgrade to your NavPilot system, providing enhanced safety and control for your vessel. Specifically designed for the NavPilot 300/700/711C series, the SafeHelm2 ensures seamless manual steering whenever needed, without the hassle of disengaging the autopilot.

Instant Manual Control When You Need It

SafeHelm2 is a revolutionary sensor that detects when the operator takes manual control of the helm while the autopilot is engaged. It temporarily switches the NavPilot to manual steering, giving you full control for a set time. This feature is essential for quick course adjustments to avoid obstacles or sudden changes in navigation without deactivating the autopilot. Once the obstacle is cleared, the system automatically re-engages the autopilot mode.

Key Features and Benefits

• Seamless Transition to Manual Steering: Allows immediate manual control without disengaging the autopilot.
• Automatic Re-engagement: Resumes automatic steering after the manual steering interval lapses.
• Hydraulic Helm Compatibility: Suitable for any hydraulic helm vessel with a reversing pump autopilot drive system.
• Flexible Mounting Options: No specific orientation required; mounts in any direction.
• Enhanced Tactile Feedback: Mimics the sensation of hydraulic drag at the helm for realistic feedback.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
