ESCRIPTION
The 7178 Rudder Angle Indicator responds to signals from a Rudder Feedback Unit or
alternative signal sources such as control levers. The signal commands the needle position on
the Indicator. This position can be calibrated to correspond to physical rudder position or the
position of an alternative signal source.
The 7178 Analog Indicator displays rudder angle position, on three scales to provide 230
degrees of viewing angle within the Vessel’s bri
dge. The indicator is driven by a position
transducer such as the Kobelt 7163, 7168, or 7174 Rudder Feedback Units (RFU).
