TYPE: BRW-1 NB
RUDDER INDICATOR FOR BRIDGE WINGS
ORDER NO.: 401636.10
RANGE: 70-0-70 PORT / STBD
INPUT: 5-0-5 V
LOAD: > 5KOHM
The Deif Anschütz BRW-1 NB is a dedicated rudder angle indicator designed specifically for bridge wing installations aboard commercial and professional vessels. As part of the vessel’s marine control system, it provides helmsmen and officers with a clear, real-time visual readout of rudder position across a full 70-0-70 degree port-to-starboard range. Accurate rudder angle feedback at the bridge wings is essential for safe manoeuvring in confined waters, port approaches, and during docking operations, where conning officers positioned away from the main console require immediate positional data without relying on communication with the wheelhouse.
Key Features
✓ Displays rudder angle across a 70-0-70 degree port/starboard range, providing full-deflection visibility for conning officers at the bridge wings.
✓ Operates on a 5-0-5 V analogue input signal with a load impedance of greater than 5 kΩ, as specified in the original product data; additional electrical ratings are subject to confirmation from nameplate or documentation.
✓ Designed for integration with Anschütz steering and autopilot control systems as a remote repeater display; compatibility with specific panels or controllers should be confirmed against the vessel’s system configuration.
✓ Intended for bridge wing mounting, typically in a sheltered or semi-exposed console environment; installation requirements including enclosure rating and fixing arrangement are subject to confirmation from installation drawings.
✓ Serves as a direct replacement or spare for vessels already fitted with Anschütz bridge wing rudder indicator systems, supporting like-for-like substitution and minimising reconfiguration during maintenance.
Marine Applications
✓ Merchant vessels including container ships, bulk carriers, and tankers where bridge wing conning positions require independent rudder angle readout during port manoeuvres.
✓ Passenger vessels and ferries where officer visibility from the bridge wings is critical to safe berthing and departure operations in busy terminals.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels manoeuvring in dynamic positioning or manual modes around offshore structures.
✓ Naval auxiliary and government vessels fitted with Anschütz steering control systems requiring repeater instrumentation at secondary conning stations.
✓ Vessels undergoing bridge wing console refit, instrumentation upgrade, or replacement of damaged or obsolete rudder indicator units within existing Anschütz control architectures.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The Anschütz BRW-1 NB is a purpose-built instrument carrying the Deif Anschütz lineage of precision marine navigation and steering equipment. Its straightforward analogue input interface and defined load characteristics make it a reliable, low-maintenance component for bridge wing installations where readability and signal integrity directly influence manoeuvring safety.
Ideal For
Commercial cargo vessels, tankers, passenger ships, ferries, offshore support vessels, and any deepwater or coastal trading vessel equipped with Anschütz steering or autopilot systems requiring bridge wing rudder angle repeater displays.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available to support installation, commissioning, signal loop verification, and integration of this rudder indicator within existing onboard steering control systems. Retrofit and like-for-like replacement guidance can be provided, and remote troubleshooting support is available where the vessel’s system configuration details are known. To confirm compatibility and suitability for a specific vessel or installation, buyers are encouraged to share the equipment nameplate photograph, order number 401636.10, any relevant wiring diagrams or installation drawings, the steering system model and software version where applicable, and the vessel name or IMO number. All compatibility and fitment assessments are subject to confirmation based on the information provided.
