waterproof rudder angle indicator gauge with rudder sensor 52mm (2") 12v/24v

The 52mm (2") marine waterproof rudder angle indicator gauge can be used on control panel voltages of 12V or 24V.When buy the gauge , can together with the rudder sensor. Rudder angle indicator is a device for measuring angles. The rudder angle indicator is an instrument that can indicate the actual steering angle, with lighting equipment inside and 350 engraved on the left and right sides. It can check the accuracy and sensitivity of the steering device and directly guide the steering action during manual steering. The rudder angle indicator always indicates the actual rudder angle. The rudder angle indicator consists of a potentiometer in the transmitter and a millivolt meter marked with the rudder angle scale. When the rudder drives the contact of the transmitting potentiometer to rotate, the resistance value of the two arms of the potentiometer changes, causing the receiver pointer to turn to the corresponding position, indicating the actual rudder angle. Feedback the true rotation of the rudder to the driver's cabin, rudder compartment, and main engine compartment. The error of the electric rudder angle indicator is generally very small, as long as the error is recorded. 

The four wires of rudder angle indicator are connected as follows: 1. The cab and its four rudder angle meters have the dimming function. The two wing rudder angle meters have their own dimming devices, and the two rudder angle meters' dimming Potentiometer in the cab are connected according to the voltage division connection. 2. Before powering on and debugging, remove all the wiring terminals of the rudder angle meter, measure and confirm the DC24V power line and rudder angle signal line, connect the DV24V power line, and keep the rudder angle signal line temporarily suspended.

The calibration of the rudder angle indicator is based on the indication angle of the mechanical rudder angle indicator. Check the electric rudder angle indicator, with an error of no more than ± 1o. However, when the rudder angle is in the zero degree position, each rudder angle indicator should have no error. The electrical limit of the rudder angle should be 35 ° to the left, and the maximum rudder angle should not exceed 37 °. The required time should not exceed 28 seconds. The servo, also known as RC server, is commonly used in robot projects and can also be found in remotely controlled aircraft models such as cars and airplanes. The size of the rudder angle depends on the influence of wind flow and the skills of the helmsman, and is not absolutely good. Good sea conditions and weather conditions, small rudder angles are sufficient; Of course, large rudder angles are necessary for strong winds and waves.
