The Deif Nabtesco XL96 is a precision RPM indicator designed for marine engine speed monitoring within vessel control and automation systems. Covering a bidirectional range of 120-0-120 min⁻¹ ahead and astern, this panel-mounted meter provides continuous, real-time feedback on main engine or shaft rotational speed, making it an essential component within the Marine Control System. Accurate RPM indication is critical to safe manoeuvring, engine load management, and compliance with operational procedures across a wide range of commercial and industrial vessel types.
Key Features
✓ Bidirectional RPM display spanning 120-0-120 min⁻¹, supporting both ahead and astern engine operation for complete shaft speed visibility.
✓ Single analogue voltage input rated at -10 to 0 to +10 V with a load impedance greater than 10 kΩ, ensuring compatibility with standard signal conditioning outputs typical in marine automation systems.
✓ Compass safe distance of 0.3 m, meeting standard bridge and control room installation requirements where magnetic instrument interference must be managed.
✓ Panel-mount format suitable for integration into engine control consoles, bridge instrument panels, or ECR display systems; exact enclosure dimensions and IP rating subject to confirmation from nameplate or datasheet.
✓ Manufactured under the Deif Nabtesco product range, a recognised supplier of marine control and monitoring instrumentation; certifications and approvals applicable to this unit should be confirmed against vessel class requirements.
Marine Applications
✓ Main engine RPM monitoring on merchant vessels, tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships where precise speed indication supports safe navigation and manoeuvring.
✓ Engine control room (ECR) and bridge console installations requiring bidirectional shaft speed readout during arrival, departure, and port manoeuvring operations.
✓ Integration within propulsion control and telegraph systems on RoRo ferries, offshore support vessels, and tug boats where ahead/astern transitions are frequent.
✓ Retrofit or replacement of existing RPM indicators in ageing control panels where the original unit has failed or requires recalibration to maintain system accuracy.
✓ Auxiliary engine or bow thruster speed monitoring applications where a compact, analogue-input RPM meter is required within a secondary control station.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The Deif Nabtesco XL96 RPM meter is valued for its straightforward analogue voltage interface, bidirectional measurement capability, and suitability for panel integration in demanding marine control environments where reliable engine speed indication directly supports safe vessel operation.
Ideal For
Merchant vessels, offshore support vessels, ferries, tugs, bulk carriers, tankers, and any commercial or industrial marine platform requiring accurate, panel-mounted bidirectional RPM indication within an existing or upgraded Marine Control System.
Technical Support & Compliance
Remote troubleshooting guidance, integration support, and commissioning advice are available to assist with installation of this unit into existing control panels or upgraded systems. Retrofit and replacement support can be provided subject to review of the existing installation. To confirm compatibility and suitability for your vessel, buyers are encouraged to share nameplate photographs, the full part or order number, panel or system drawings, the control system model and software version where applicable, and vessel name or IMO number. All compatibility and approval claims are subject to confirmation based on documentation provided.
