The DEIF XL144 (Art. No. 335095) is a robust, microprocessor-controlled rudder angle indicator specifically designed for marine bridge instrumentation. This unit utilizes DEIF’s patented X-coil technology to provide digital accuracy with traditional analogue readability, making it highly reliable for monitoring rudder position on ships.

Key Features & Technical Details

• Precision Technology: Unlike fragile traditional moving-coil systems, the X-coil technology provides superior accuracy (Class 0.5), improved response time with virtually no overshoot, and high shock resistance.
• Operational Inputs: This specific version (335095) is configured for a 10-0-10V signal input, allowing it to interface directly with existing rudder angle transmission systems (such as those used by Hatlapa).
• Rugged Design: The XL144 series is built for maritime environments. Its housing is designed for panel mounting and is capable of reaching IP66 protection levels to withstand moisture and vibration.
• Readability: It features direct pointer illumination for clear visibility on the bridge, even in low-light conditions.

Product Overview

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is X-coil technology? It is a proprietary DEIF system that replaces traditional magnetic coils with a microprocessor-controlled actuator. It offers much higher durability, better shock resistance, and more precise pointer movement.
• Is this indicator compatible with other rudder systems? While this specific unit (335095) is configured for 10-0-10V, DEIF’s XL series is available in various configurations to support 4-20mA current loops or CANbus connections. Always verify your system’s signal requirement before installation.
• How does it handle errors? The unit includes an internal error-warning LED. If the microprocessor detects a fault, a flashing amber-colored triangular LED in the corner of the scale alerts the operator that the unit is not providing accurate data.
