Description
DEIF A/S
TYPE: XL96
RPM METER
ART NO.: 11215
ORDER NO.: 400056194.10
RANGE: 0-350 RPM
INPUT: 4..20MA SINGLE
LOAD: <50 OHM
COMPASS SAFE DISTANCE: 0.3M
The DEIF XL96 is a panel-mounted RPM meter designed for continuous engine speed monitoring in marine control system applications. Operating on a 4–20mA single input signal with a load of less than 50 ohm, it displays rotational speed across a 0–350 RPM range — making it well suited to slow and medium-speed main engines, auxiliary engines, and shaft line monitoring installations. With a compass safe distance of 0.3 metres, it is compatible with placement in bridge and engine control room panels where magnetic interference constraints apply. Reliable shaft and engine speed indication is fundamental to safe vessel operation, machinery load management, and regulatory compliance.
Key Features
✓ Measures engine or shaft rotational speed across a 0–350 RPM range using a 4–20mA single-channel analogue input signal.
✓ Input load requirement of less than 50 ohm ensures compatibility with standard 4–20mA current loop transmitters typical in marine instrumentation loops.
✓ Compass safe distance of 0.3 metres allows installation in bridge consoles and ECR panels where proximity to magnetic compasses must be controlled per class requirements.
✓ XL96 panel format is designed for 96mm DIN-standard cutout mounting, suitable for integration into existing instrument panels — subject to confirmation of specific panel and system compatibility.
✓ Manufactured by DEIF A/S, a recognised supplier of marine and industrial control instrumentation, supporting retrofit and direct replacement in DEIF-based monitoring and control systems.
Marine Applications
✓ Main engine speed monitoring on bulk carriers, tankers, container vessels, and general cargo ships operating slow or medium-speed diesel engines.
✓ Auxiliary engine and generator set speed indication in engine control rooms and local control panels.
✓ Shaft RPM display in propulsion monitoring systems where 4–20mA speed transmitters are already installed.
✓ Integration within DEIF marine control and alarm monitoring systems, including engine telegraphs and remote monitoring consoles.
✓ Offshore support vessels, tugs, and ferries requiring accurate low-range RPM readout for manoeuvring and operational control.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The DEIF XL96 RPM Meter delivers straightforward, reliable analogue speed indication using a well-established 4–20mA input standard, making it a practical replacement or retrofit instrument for vessels with existing DEIF instrumentation or compatible current-loop signal sources — with minimal reconfiguration required.
Ideal For
Suitable for ocean-going merchant vessels, offshore support vessels, tugs, ferries, and workboats requiring dependable engine or shaft speed monitoring within bridge, ECR, or local engine control panel installations.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available to support identification, compatibility verification, installation guidance, and commissioning of this RPM meter within your vessel’s control system. Support covers retrofit assessment, loop signal verification, and integration into existing DEIF or third-party monitoring panels — subject to confirmation of system configuration. To confirm compatibility and suitability, buyers are advised to share nameplate photographs, the existing part or order number, panel drawings or cutout dimensions, the control system model and software version where applicable, and vessel name or IMO number along with the intended scope of installation or replacement.
