Finally, there's
an autopilot that meets your needs of Simplicity, Reliability,
Accuracy and Flexibility
|
|
The Gladiator is simple to
operate
|
With the Gladiator's patented Shadow Drive™
technology, if you know how to steer your boat, you know how to
run the Gladiator. It is simpler than your TV remote. When you
change headings with the turn of the helm, the Gladiator
automatically engages. No buttons to press!
The Shadow Drive™ will accommodate
multiple helms, and is a standard feature.
The Gladiator is very easy to use. Just
point, press, and release. |

The Gladiator is Reliable
|
No rudder feedback transducers to install:
Rudder feedback transducers are the
weakest link with autopilots. This is a huge determination in
the reliability of autopilots. TR-1 autopilots do not need
rudder feedback transducers. This is now a thing of the past.
The TR-1 Gladiator provides the right solution. TR-1 has
perfected an autopilot without rudder feedback transducers.
There are no transducers to constantly maintain or replace.
With patented mathematical algorithms
and tachometry, the TR-1 Gladiator steers to maintain a constant
magnetic heading. The TR-1 Gladiator forms a rudder rate command
from a combination of the compass, gyro and engine tachometer
inputs. The rudder rate is calculated and is sent to the pump
controller 20 times a second assuring unsurpassed reliability
and quicker response to wind, waves and current to keep you
straight on course.
Waterproof components
like the handheld/remote, deckmount switch and the Electronic
Control Unit, with its filled electronic grade potting compound
and its gold waterproof pico connectors make for a system sure
to withstand the toughest saltwater environment. |

|
The Gladiator is Accurate
|
The Gladiator responds instantaneously to the rotation of the
boat. Unparalleled performance!
The Gladiators aviation engineering roots give you the most
precise autopilot on the market today. The Gladiator is an
autopilot that you can depend on. TR-1 precision, reliability,
performance & features are unmatched by any other autopilot in
the world.
Low Speed Autopilot:

The Gladiator has flexibility
and Multistation Operation
|
The Gladiator is capable of having three or more handhelds. This
gives you the flexibility and convenience you need as you move
from one station to another. The Gladiator is also capable of
steering commands using the optional
wireless remote,
which gives you the freedom to move about the boat without being
tethered to a cord. |

|
The Gladiator is intelligent
|
Auto Tune: The Gladiator has an autotune feature for
simplified setup, which is unique in the autopilot industry.
Tunes itself automatically, or allows you the option to tune it
yourself. This is a standard feature.
|
|
GPS Functions
|
The TR-1 Gladiator can interface with any GPS system and tie
into your complete navigation format. We stay on waypoints and
connect to new ones automatically. The Gladiator will
communicate with most marine devices via NMEA 0183. (NMEA (0183)
2 inputs, 1 output) |
- Course over ground:
If you press and release the GPS button when the
autopilot is in heading hold and the GPS does not have an
active route, the pilot will maintain the GPS course over
ground instead of the magnetic heading.
|
- Steer to waypoint (s):
If you press and release the GPS button when the autopilot
is in heading hold and the GPS has an active route, the
pilot will steer to the selected waypoint.
