The Simrad S9 Remote Control can be used for NFU steering through the J50 Junction Unit when the autopilot is in Standby mode and for course change in Auto mode. Non Follow Up steering means the rudder moves when the lever is held at the maximum left (port) or right (starboard) position.
Depending on how it is connected, the S9 will disengage the autopilot and operate the solenoids by direct override. When the S9 handle is pushed in, the autopilot will resume in Auto mode on the present heading.
It can be mounted indoor or outdoor and can be panel or bulkhead mounted.
