RUDDER ANGLE INDICATION SYSTEM HLD-RAIS 100-Highlander

Product Overview

The Rudder Angle Indication System (RAIS) is used to display the direction and angle of a vessel's rudder blade. Its working principle is as follows: the rudder angle transmitter converts the rudder blade angle signal into an electrical signal and sends it to the connection and distribution unit; the connection and distribution unit transmits the rudder angle information to each location where rudder angle display is required; and the indicating unit with a pointer then displays the rudder angle and direction. Rudder angle indicating units are normally installed in the steering gear room, engine control room, bridge, port and starboard wings, etc.

The HLD-RAIS 100 is a newly designed, fully digital rudder angle indication system. It converts all rudder angle information into standard IEC 61162 sentences for transmission between modules, and complies with relevant IMO regulations. It can be installed on various passenger and cargo ships, providing the crew with the current rudder angle and direction to assist in steering operations.

Product Features

Fully digital design

Fully digital design; standard IEC 61162 sentences are used for communication between modules, providing strong immunity to interference and high reliability.

Flexible & scalable configuration

Flexible and scalable configuration; meets the requirements of various vessel types such as container ships, bulk carriers, working boats, yachts and fishing boats; suitable for single-rudder and twin-rudder systems.

High precision indication

High indication accuracy and fast response.

Elegant appearance
