HLD-RAIS 100 Rudder Angle Indication System

The rudder angle transmitter is mechanically linked and synchronised to the rudder stock, to simultaneously transmit the rudder angle information to the connection unit. The connection unit process the rudder angle value and transmits rudder angle value to all connection indicators. The transmission is a chieved using with the latest can bus technology that allows self-synchronization of the indicators and ease of calibration of the system. An unlimited number of indicators can be connectd to the system. The systems also provides outputs in IEC61162 format for external equipment.
The Highlander rudder angle indicator (RAI) system accurately transfers the rudder stock angular position from steering gear room to wheelhouse.
Steering gear hardware consists of a microprocessor-based transmission unit (one per rudder) and a precision mechanical linkage assembly.
Wheelhouse indicators are a three-face 270° panoramic type for mounting to overhead along with a series of port-starboard dial devices in different enclosures for recessing in console or fixing with bracket to console surface or bulkhead. All RAIs are regulated in illumination by a separate dimmer.
The dial rudder angle indicator is available in three square sizes: 192 mm., 144 mm. and 96 mm. Rudder angle faceplates are available in three graduations: ±35°, ±45° and ±65°.
The RAI system is fed with electrical power from its central connection and distribution unit.
All devices are robust in construction and are highly tolerant of vibration and shock.
