The DEIF TRI-2 Panorama Rudder Angle Indicator (Part Number 603661.10) is a robust and highly visible marine-grade instrument designed to provide accurate, simultaneous rudder position feedback to multiple locations on the vessel’s bridge.
As a key “Three Face Panorama” unit, it features three independent mechanical pointers driven by a single, reliable 10VDC input signal from the ship’s rudder feedback system. This configuration is specifically engineered for installation on the center console and both bridge wings, ensuring the helmsman and officers have a clear, unambiguous view of the rudder angle from any control station.
Core Features & Specifications:
-
Model: TRI-2 (Panorama Three-Face Indicator)
-
Part Number: 603661.10
-
Input Supply: 10 VDC (for the indicator’s internal lighting/synchronization).
-
Input Signal: Receives a DC voltage signal (typically 0-10VDC or resistance) from a master rudder angle transmitter or repeater.
-
Display: Three synchronized, high-contrast 270° mechanical dials. The large, luminous pointers and clear scale ensure excellent visibility day and night.
-
Scale Range: Standard marine scale showing rudder angles from 35° Port to 35° Starboard, with clear markings at mid-ship (0°) and hard-over positions.
-
Design: Rugged, waterproof (IP rating as per marine standards) construction built to withstand the harsh shipboard environment, including vibration, salt spray, and temperature variations.
-
Mounting: Flush panel mounting. The three faces are mechanically linked to ensure perfect synchronization without needing individual calibration.
