Description
DEIF A/S
DQ96-XC (240°)
AMPERE METER
ORDER NO.: 30071-133
SCALE: 0-150 A
MALEOMRADE: 0-60mV
The DEIF DQ96-XC is a panel-mount analogue ampere meter designed for accurate electrical current monitoring within marine control and power management systems. With a 240° arc scale spanning 0–150 A and a shunt input range of 0–60 mV, this instrument provides clear, reliable current readout at the switchboard or distribution panel. As a core component within marine control system installations, it plays a critical role in allowing engineers and operators to monitor load conditions, detect abnormal current draw, and maintain safe electrical system operation across a wide range of vessel types.
Key Features
✓ Analogue panel-mount current meter with a 240° scale arc and 0–150 A measurement range, offering clear readability under typical bridge and engine room lighting conditions.
✓ Shunt input range of 0–60 mV as specified; additional electrical ratings and certifications are subject to confirmation based on the full product datasheet and vessel installation requirements.
✓ DQ96 series form factor is commonly used with DEIF switchboard panels and power management control systems; compatibility with specific controllers or panels should be confirmed against the installed system configuration.
✓ Designed for flush panel mounting in dry instrumentation enclosures typical of main switchboards, emergency switchboards, and distribution control panels onboard commercial and working vessels.
✓ Replacement of this meter should be carried out with reference to the original panel drawing and shunt specifications to ensure correct scaling and safe integration into the existing metering circuit.
Marine Applications
✓ Main and emergency switchboard current monitoring on cargo vessels, tankers, and offshore support vessels where continuous load oversight is operationally critical.
✓ Generator and bus-tie feeder panels in marine power management systems requiring local analogue indication of current draw.
✓ Electrical distribution control boards on ferries, ro-ro vessels, and passenger ships where panel instrumentation must remain legible and reliable at all times.
✓ Retrofit and replacement installations in ageing switchboard panels where original DEIF analogue instrumentation requires like-for-like substitution to maintain system integrity.
✓ Auxiliary machinery control panels and motor starter boards on workboats, dredgers, and naval auxiliary vessels requiring robust, straightforward current indication.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
DEIF analogue panel instruments such as the DQ96-XC are valued for their straightforward installation, clear scale readability, and compatibility within established DEIF power management and switchboard ecosystems — making them a reliable choice for both original equipment and direct replacement applications.
Ideal For
Cargo ships, tankers, offshore support vessels, ferries, passenger vessels, ro-ro ships, workboats, dredgers, and any commercial or auxiliary vessel operating DEIF-equipped switchboards or marine control system panels.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available to support remote troubleshooting, installation guidance, onboard commissioning, and retrofit or upgrade planning for this and related DEIF instrumentation. Repair and bench testing services may be available subject to confirmation. To confirm compatibility and suitability for your installation, buyers are advised to share nameplate photographs, the original order or part number, panel arrangement drawings, the switchboard or control system model and version, shunt specifications, and vessel name or IMO number where relevant. All compatibility and specification claims are subject to confirmation against the actual installed system.
