Description
DEIF
TYPE: XL96
RUDDER ANGLE METER
600034474.10
ART. NO.: 335093
INPUT: 10-0-10V SINGLE
The DEIF XL96 is a panel-mounted rudder angle meter designed to provide clear, accurate visual indication of rudder position within a vessel’s steering control system. As a core component of the marine control system, it receives a 10-0-10V single input signal from the rudder feedback unit and displays the corresponding port or starboard angle to the bridge operator. Reliable rudder angle indication is essential for safe navigation, helmsman situational awareness, and compliance with steering gear monitoring requirements onboard commercial and working vessels.
Key Features
✓ Operates on a 10-0-10V single input signal, providing centre-zero rudder angle display for direct port and starboard position readout.
✓ XL96 panel format suits standard 96mm DIN cutout installations — typical for bridge consoles, steering gear panels, and integrated control desks; exact panel depth and mounting details subject to confirmation.
✓ Compatible with DEIF marine control and steering systems; integration with other panels, controllers, or third-party feedback units should be confirmed against system configuration and drawing documentation.
✓ Suited to installation in protected bridge or control room environments; suitability for exposed or classified locations should be verified against applicable vessel requirements.
✓ Replacement of this meter restores critical steering feedback visibility — part number 600034474.10 / Art. No. 335093 should be confirmed against the vessel’s original equipment documentation before ordering.
Marine Applications
✓ Bridge steering consoles on cargo vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers requiring continuous rudder position monitoring during manoeuvring and open-sea navigation.
✓ Integrated steering gear control panels on offshore support vessels, platform supply vessels, and anchor handling tugs where precise rudder feedback is operationally critical.
✓ Ferry and RoRo vessel wheelhouses where helmsman visibility of rudder angle supports frequent port approach and berthing operations.
✓ Autopilot and manual steering changeover systems where accurate rudder angle indication is required to confirm helm response during control mode transitions.
✓ Retrofit and panel upgrade projects on vessels modernising existing DEIF-based or compatible marine control system installations.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The DEIF XL96 Rudder Angle Meter is a well-established instrument in marine steering system panels, valued for its straightforward analogue display, standard panel format, and direct compatibility with common 10-0-10V feedback transducer circuits — reducing complexity during installation and servicing at sea or in port.
Ideal For
Cargo ships, tankers, bulk carriers, offshore support vessels, ferries, RoRo vessels, fishing vessels, and any commercial or working vessel requiring a reliable panel-mounted rudder angle indicator within a DEIF or compatible marine control system.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available to support remote troubleshooting, onboard diagnostics, commissioning, and retrofit or integration projects involving this instrument — subject to confirmation. To confirm compatibility and suitability, buyers should provide nameplate photographs, the full part number and article number, system panel drawings or schematics, the vessel name and IMO number, and details of the existing steering control system model and software version where applicable. All compatibility assessments are subject to confirmation based on documentation provided.
