ESCRIPTION
The 7180 Rudder Angle Indicator is a smaller version of the popular Kobelt 7175 Rudder Angle
Indicator. The 7180 is available in Master and Slave configurations in both 12 VDC and 24 VDC
offerings. Both the Master and Slave contain a backlight to illuminate the indicator during
dark operating hours.
The 7180 Rudder Angle Indicators will provide you with real-time visual display of the position
of your rudder while your vessel is underway. Whether you are manoeuvring, or your
autopilot is commanding your vessels, an accurate readout of your rudder position will be
displayed on this tri-colour two-inch diameter display indicator.
The unit indicates the PORT direction of travel in Red and the STBD direction of travel in
Green for easy and quick identification while steering. The system supports one Master
Indicator with up to a maximum of 5 Slave Indicators (or “repeater stations”) commanded by
a single input signal. The indicators are driven by a position transducer such as the Kobelt
7163, 7168, or 7174 Rudder Feedback Units (RFU).
