4-20MA
The DEIF DQ96-C is a panel-mounted load meter designed to display generator or power output load within a 0–10 load range, accepting a 4–20mA input signal. As part of DEIF’s instrumentation range, this analogue indicating meter is a fundamental component within marine control systems, providing engine room and switchboard operators with a clear, continuous visual indication of electrical load. Accurate load monitoring is operationally critical for managing generator performance, load sharing, and preventing overload conditions aboard vessels of all types.
Key Features
✓ Displays load in the 0–10 range via a 4–20mA analogue input signal, providing straightforward integration with standard generator monitoring and control loops.
✓ Panel-mount 96mm square (DQ96 format) instrument, suitable for flush mounting in switchboard panels, engine control consoles, and generator control panels — installation details subject to confirmation against site drawings.
✓ Compatible with DEIF generator controllers, power management systems, and third-party control panels that output a 4–20mA load signal — system compatibility should be confirmed against existing configuration.
✓ Designed for installation in sheltered onboard environments typical of engine rooms and control rooms; suitability for specific environmental ratings or certifications should be verified against vessel requirements.
✓ Serves as a direct replacement instrument for switchboard refurbishment, panel upgrade, or meter failure scenarios — confirm part number 1200021421B against nameplate data before ordering.
Marine Applications
✓ Generator load monitoring on main and emergency switchboards across cargo vessels, tankers, and offshore support vessels.
✓ Power management and load sharing panels on vessels operating multiple generator sets requiring continuous load indication.
✓ Engine control room instrumentation on bulk carriers, RoRo ferries, and cruise ships where clear panel readouts are operationally essential.
✓ Retrofit and switchboard modernisation projects where ageing analogue meters require like-for-like replacement with current DEIF instrumentation.
✓ Offshore platform and DP vessel control systems where reliable, real-time load display supports power system management and operational safety.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The DEIF DQ96-C is a well-established panel instrument from a manufacturer with a strong reputation in marine power management. Its standard 96mm format and 4–20mA compatibility make it a practical, reliable choice for both direct replacement and switchboard upgrade applications where accurate load indication is required.
Ideal For
Cargo vessels, tankers, bulk carriers, offshore support vessels, DP ships, RoRo ferries, cruise ships, and any commercial or working vessel operating DEIF-based or compatible generator control and power management systems.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available to support identification, commissioning, integration, and retrofit of this instrument within existing marine control systems. Support may include remote troubleshooting, guidance on panel wiring, signal loop configuration, and compatibility verification — all subject to confirmation based on your specific installation. To confirm suitability, buyers are encouraged to share nameplate photographs, the full part number, existing panel drawings or schematics, the generator controller model and software version, vessel name, IMO number, and a clear description of the intended application and scope of work. Compatibility and fitness for purpose are subject to confirmation against the above documentation.
