GHP Compact Reactor

Garmin Marine GHP Compact Reactor — Autopilot & Bridge Systems. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Autopilot System, and it is normally installed on the bridge with interfaces to the gyro or heading sensor, steering gear and navigation controls. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to command steering corrections that maintain a selected heading or track-related steering objective. Autopilot and heading-control variants differ in integration and control algorithms, but all close a steering loop using heading input, rudder feedback and steering commands. Within the supplied list, neighbouring variants are distinguished by their model designations and naming, while the source does not state further model-specific hardware differences. No additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

Heading-sensor or input failure causes wandering, unexpected rudder commands or heading alarms
Rudder-feedback faults cause hunting, overshoot or disagreement between commanded and actual rudder angle
Control-unit or software faults cause loss of automatic mode or repeated alarms
Steering-gear interface faults prevent commanded rudder movement despite normal bridge indication
Incorrect tuning or sea-state settings cause excessive rudder activity, poor course keeping or increased steering-gear wear

Service & Maintenance

Verify heading input, rudder feedback, mode selection, steering response, alarms and changeover to manual steering. Check interfaces to gyro, steering gear and navigation systems and review unexpected rudder activity or fault history. Test automatic and manual changeover under the approved bridge procedure. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for tuning and acceptance criteria.
