Discover the precision engineering behind seamless navigation with the Raymarine EV-1 Sensor Core, the intelligent 9-axis heart of every Evolution autopilot system. This compact powerhouse tracks your vessel's motion across heading, roll, pitch, and yaw in real-time, using advanced solid-state sensors that deliver unmatched accuracy even in rough seas. Whether you're cruising coastal waters or venturing offshore, the EV-1 ensures your autopilot responds instantly to changing conditions, keeping you on course without the fuss of traditional fluxgate compasses.
What sets the EV-1 apart is its all-in-one design: solid-state gyros, accelerometers, and compass fused with the autopilot processor in a single, rugged unit. No more complex calibrations or vulnerability to onboard interference—auto-compensation handles magnetic fields, delivering reliable performance from the poles to the equator.
Imagine docking in a crosswind or holding a tight waypoint in choppy swells—the EV-1's solid-state tech eliminates the lag and drift of older sensors. Boaters report smoother autopilot responses, reduced helm fatigue, and pinpoint accuracy during long passages. It's not just a sensor; it's your vessel's sixth sense, auto-adapting to heel angles on sailboats or high-speed planing on powercraft.
Compared to mechanical gyros, the EV-1 is lighter (0.29kg), smaller (140mm diameter), and maintenance-free. Pair it with hydraulic pumps for larger vessels or tiller drives for dinghies—versatility defines it. For racing sailors, the roll and pitch data sharpens wind instruments; for fishermen, stable radar overlays spot targets effortlessly.

Getting the EV-1 up and running is straightforward: Secure the mounting tray in a stable, forward-facing spot away from ferrous metals and speakers. Connect the spur cable to your SeaTalkng backbone, power up via the ACU, and run the intuitive SeaTalk calibration wizard from any compatible control head. Pro tip: Align it parallel to the vessel's centerline for best compass performance, and test in open water to verify auto-learn features kick in seamlessly.
For retrofits, it integrates plug-and-play with existing Raymarine networks, minimizing downtime. Always double-check polarity on extended runs to avoid gremlins.
Unlike fluxgate compasses, the EV-1 uses solid-state 9-axis sensors for 2° accuracy without moving parts, auto-compensating for interference and delivering real-time roll, pitch, yaw, and heading data.
Yes, its IPX6/IPX7 sealed enclosure allows mounting above or below decks, as long as it's level and away from magnetic influences.
It connects via SeaTalkng, which is fully compatible with NMEA 2000 using standard adapters, sharing data across your marine electronics.
Designed exclusively for Raymarine Evolution series autopilots, from tiller pilots to hydraulic systems on larger vessels.
It provides dynamic accuracy to within 2° in all sea conditions, with reliable performance at high latitudes due to gyro-assisted stabilization.
The sensor core, 1m SeaTalkng spur cable, mounting tray, trim bezel, and documentation for quick setup.
Absolutely—its pitch and roll sensing excels in heeling conditions, providing stable autopilot control for tacking and gybing.
The EV-1 Sensor Core is at the center of every Evolution system is the intelligent EV sensor core, a 9-axis sensor that monitors vessel motion in all three dimensions. The innovative EV sensor core combines advanced solid-state sensors with the Evolution autopilot processor into a single easy-to-install housing. Mount the EV sensor core above or below decks, the rugged enclosure is fully sealed and built to IPX6 and IPX7 waterproofing and submersion standards. Solid state sensor technology delivers dynamic accuracy to within 2 Degree in all conditions. Auto-compensation for on board magnetic fields and reliable heading accuracy in the northern and southern extremes. Fast and reliable heading data for MARPA, radar overlay, and heading modes on Raymarine multifunction displays.
