Did you know
- The Tokimec PR-6000 Autopilot series, also known as SEAVANS PR-6000, is compatible with Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS). Tokyo Keiki Inc. (formerly Tokimec) issued a recall notice for some PR-6000 control boxes supplied between November 2004 and June 2009, indicating the system was in production and use during this period.
- The PR-6000 series is an advanced autopilot system that has reached its end-of-life but is still supported. It precedes the PR-8000 and PR-9000 autopilot models, which incorporate newer technologies like color LCD displays and enhanced adaptive control systems. The PR-2000 is an earlier, best-selling model designed for small and medium vessels, with over 15,000 units sold.
- The PR-6000 autopilot was designed with an emphasis on expanding helm functions, thorough safety considerations, and improved reliability with intelligent maintenance features. It offers flexible configuration options, compatible with various gyro compass types and multiple power unit configurations. A key feature is its "Straight Leg Course Control (ACE)" which creates an optimal route, reducing deviation and rudder usage, leading to fuel savings.
