The DEIF DLQ96-PC-NB is a panel-mounted starting air pressure meter designed to display air pressure within the starting air system of marine diesel engines. Operating on a 4–20 mA analogue input signal with a load of less than 5 Ω and a measurement range of 0 to 40 bar, this instrument provides accurate, real-time pressure indication critical to safe and reliable engine starting operations. As a component within a Marine Control System, it is typically integrated into engine control panels or automation consoles where continuous monitoring of starting air pressure is essential to operational readiness.
Key Features
✓ Analogue panel meter accepting a 4–20 mA input signal with a load requirement of less than 5 Ω, providing accurate pressure display across a 0 to 40 bar measurement range.
✓ DLQ96-PC-NB format indicates a 96 mm panel-cut instrument; exact voltage supply and additional electrical ratings should be confirmed against the nameplate and installation documentation.
✓ Designed for integration with NORCONTROL and DEIF marine automation and monitoring systems; compatibility with specific panels or controllers is subject to confirmation based on system configuration.
✓ Suitable for installation in engine control rooms and machinery spaces where clear, reliable pressure indication supports watch-keeping and engine management duties.
✓ Replacement of this meter restores accurate starting air pressure visibility, supporting planned maintenance schedules and minimising unplanned downtime during critical engine start sequences.
Marine Applications
✓ Main engine starting air system monitoring aboard ocean-going cargo vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers.
✓ Auxiliary engine control panels on vessels equipped with DEIF or NORCONTROL integrated automation systems.
✓ Engine control room instrumentation panels on offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels.
✓ Starting air pressure display in machinery control systems on passenger ferries and ro-ro vessels requiring reliable engine readiness indication.
✓ Retrofit and replacement applications in ageing automation consoles where original DEIF panel meters require like-for-like substitution.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The DEIF DLQ96-PC-NB is a purpose-built marine instrument that delivers dependable analogue pressure indication within a compact 96 mm panel format. Its standard 4–20 mA input ensures straightforward integration with existing signal loops, and its focused 0–40 bar range makes it well suited to starting air system requirements without oversizing or signal compromise.
Ideal For
Merchant cargo ships, bulk carriers, tankers, offshore support vessels, platform supply vessels, passenger ferries, and any vessel operating DEIF or NORCONTROL engine automation and monitoring systems requiring starting air pressure instrumentation.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available to support troubleshooting, commissioning, and integration of this instrument into existing marine control systems. Services may include remote diagnostic guidance, onboard support coordination, loop testing, and retrofit consultation — all subject to confirmation based on the specific installation. To verify compatibility and ensure correct supply, buyers are encouraged to share nameplate photographs, the original part number, wiring diagrams or loop drawings, the panel or system model and software version, vessel name, IMO number, and the intended scope of the replacement or upgrade. All compatibility assessments are subject to confirmation upon review of the provided documentation.
