RANGE: % PITCH : ASTERN 100-0-100 AHEAD
ADJ ±10%
INPUT: 10…0…10V
LOAD > 9KΩ
The Norcontrol DEIF DLQ96-PC-NB is a panel-mounted pitch indicator designed to provide continuous visual readout of controllable pitch propeller (CPP) position, displaying percentage pitch across the full astern-to-ahead range. Referenced under part number 73417-3, this instrument accepts a ±10V analogue input signal and operates into a load impedance greater than 9KΩ, making it directly compatible with standard CPP control system signal outputs. As a core component within the Marine Control System category, it enables bridge and engine room operators to monitor propeller pitch status accurately during manoeuvring, transit, and dynamic positioning operations.
Key Features
✓ Displays controllable pitch propeller position across a full ASTERN 100-0-100 AHEAD percentage range, with ±10% adjustment capability for calibration to system requirements.
✓ Analogue voltage input of 10…0…10V with a load impedance greater than 9KΩ, ensuring compatibility with standard CPP control system signal outputs — further electrical specifications subject to confirmation.
✓ DLQ96 panel-format instrument developed under the Norcontrol and DEIF collaboration, intended for integration within Norcontrol-branded propulsion control and manoeuvring consoles — system compatibility should be confirmed against vessel drawings.
✓ Designed for panel mounting in enclosed bridge or control room environments; installation details including cutout dimensions and environmental ratings are subject to confirmation from nameplate and documentation review.
✓ Direct replacement or service spare for Norcontrol CPP control systems; correct fitment should be verified against the original system model, software version, and wiring configuration before installation.
Marine Applications
✓ Controllable pitch propeller (CPP) propulsion systems requiring continuous pitch position monitoring at the bridge or engine control room console.
✓ Norcontrol-equipped vessels where pitch indication is integrated into the main manoeuvring and propulsion control panel.
✓ Offshore supply vessels, platform support vessels, and ferries operating with CPP systems where accurate pitch feedback is critical to safe manoeuvring.
✓ Engine control room installations on cargo vessels, RoRo ships, and naval auxiliaries utilising Norcontrol or DEIF automation and control architecture.
✓ Retrofit and panel refurbishment projects where an existing DLQ96-series indicator requires direct replacement to restore system functionality.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The DLQ96-PC-NB pitch indicator is a purpose-built instrument that delivers reliable analogue pitch readout within established Norcontrol control system architectures. Its defined input range and adjustment capability allow it to be calibrated to the vessel’s specific CPP configuration, maintaining operational accuracy across the full pitch range during critical manoeuvring phases.
Ideal For
Offshore support vessels, ferries, RoRo carriers, cargo vessels, and any commercial or naval platform equipped with Norcontrol or DEIF controllable pitch propeller control systems requiring bridge or ECR pitch indication.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available for remote troubleshooting, onboard support coordination, testing and commissioning guidance, repair assessment, retrofit integration, and control system compatibility review — all subject to confirmation based on vessel-specific configuration. To confirm suitability, buyers are advised to share nameplate photographs, the original part number and reference drawing, the Norcontrol system model and software version, vessel name and IMO number, and a description of the intended scope of installation or replacement. Compatibility and drop-in fitment are subject to confirmation upon review of this information.
