AlphaLine Repeater A new generation of displays

A new standard Smart, clear, consistent, safe, just some of the ways to describe what the AlphaLine Repeater Display series of navigation and communication instruments bring to the bridge of the future. A full lineup of instruments that are easy to operate via an intuitive color touchscreen display, which is available in three standard sizes and two colors that form a well-aligned complete whole. A software-driven instrument line that will meet the requirements of information displays for use in the marine and offshore sector. Choose a display then software, or vice versa The nautical instruments...

The most suitable arrangement of instruments and screen sizes can be selected for every type of ship. Depending on the application or information required, the software can be installed for merchant or inland shipping. AlphaDepth Single AlphaTurn (optional rudder) AlphaWind (relative) AlphaMeteo (relative) v Repeater O IMO approved indicator v Repeater River D CCR-ZKR approved indicator The AlphaLine Repeater displays have all software versions of different instruments built in and at the time of installation a particular function can be selected. However, the AlphaLine "indicator" displays have...

Discover the software versions. On a single hardware platform. Shows the ship’s heading information from a standard ship’s compass. Shows the ship’s heading from a standard compass and an analog scale in tenths of degrees. Shows a digital read out of the analog magnetic compass. Shows a digital read out of the analog magnetic compass and with GPS connected true heading is available. Depth (River) Shows depth, shallow depth alarm and selectable depth scales and units. Shows two depth readings simultaneously from both transducers installed. Depth Single Shows, similar to the sea version, single...

Speed (River) Shows the ship’s speed in knots (either from single GPS antenna or speed log). Shows the ship’s speed in km/h (either from single GPS antenna or speed log). Speed log The speed log uses two GPS sensors (bow/stern) and a heading sensor (gyro) to calculate longitudinal and transversal ship speed, useful in docking and slow speed maneuvering. The system can also be used as a generic speed log repeater for showing SOG or STW info. Rudder (River) Shows the rudder angle (with needle up) is if required expandable with a rudder feedback unit. Shows the rudder angle (with needle down) is...

Uniform user interface With just one physical button on the display, the three display sizes may be the first thing you notice. But there is so much more. Our engineers have created a beautiful platform for the software driven instrument line. The three display sizes may be horizontal or vertical, regardless of which of the many different products software is installed. The graphical user interface is logical, easy to use and consistent throughout. This uniform approach and complete range of sophisticated display lines have been built from the ground up and inspired by JRC’s Multi Function Display...

Day, dusk, night and more All our instruments feature dim backlighting from 0 to 100% from a central dimming system and have a theme-option available from the menu. This theme-option has three backlight presets where contrast and color are set in a fixed value and can be easily adjusted to day, dusk and night. Within these presets, a customer is able to do manual dimming with small increments. Gloves Considering the working and environmental climate, we have opted for resistive touch displays, allowing operation while the display is wet or with gloved fingers.

Extensive interfacing Regardless of display size each display has a wide range of data inputs and outputs as standard. It features a LAN interface and four NMEA ports. All data ports are galvanically isolated, full duplex and supporting signals according to the NMEA standard. Also Modbus for serial communication with industrial controllers such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s) are supported. Next to this, all products are provided with a relay with normal open and closed contacts, a mini-USB port for connecting a trackpad and a mini-SD card port for software updates or maintenance. MF...

One PCB for all While developing the hardware we decided not to use a standard computer, but designed a dedicated computer board instead. This computer board is the same across the entire display line making maintenance easier and allows for a cost-effective approach throughout the display line. It also guarantees our ability to supply spare parts for many years. It is designed with many features that off the shelf industrial computers do not have. Think of 4 integrated IEC61162 ports, relay contact, wide power supply range and temperature stability from -25 to 70 degrees. The performance is...

Snap on mounting Standard in the box is our famous and unique snap on flush mount system, making it possible to fit the display without tools. After cutting a hole that fits the mounting frame, the display can easily be pushed into the frame and kept in position by a click/spring system. As a result a minimal amount of screws or mounting bolts are visible and allows for easy maintenance. Desktop and ceiling mounting Desktop or ceiling mounting for the 6.5-inch display is optionally possible using a ruggedized and watertight bracket.

MFS with joystick The MFS joystick system has been developed for special customer needs and is programmed to fit any need for a joystick system. This system could, for example, be used for a searchlight to control pan and tilt with the joystick and beam setting with the integrated rotary knob. Also think of camera control to pan and tilt of the camera with the joystick, zooming in and out with the integrated rotary knob. MFS with rotary encoder Reflecting the flexibility of AlphaBridge, it is easy to specify and personalize all control functions on demand using the 5-inch MF touch display with...
