RUDDER INSTRUMENTATION / RUDDER ANGLE SENSORS MD61 RUDDER ANGLE SENSOR TRANSMITTER SKU: F061001 View Online › OVERVIEW The MD61 Rudder Angle Transmitter is a Rudder Angle Transducer for providing steering indication. Mounted in the steering compartment, it transmits the vessel’s Rudder Angle to a Marine Data Rudder Angle Indicator. The input shaft is mechanically linked to the vessel’s rudder stock by a fully adjustable linkage rod (supplied). The MD61 has dual outputs: 1. Digital NMEA 0183 and 2. Analogue Variable Voltage (via 5 KΩ geared potentiometer) FEATURES Ship’s Rudder Angle Sensor and Transmitter The Rudder Angle Transmitter is fully sealed and housed in a robust Digital NMEA 0183 Output (IEC 61162-1) gloss Powder coat to complement other marine navigation equipment. Analogue Variable Voltage Output 5 KΩ Potentiometer Built-in Rudder Indication LEDs for easy set-up Fully Adjustable Rudder Linkage Rod Proven Rugged Design aluminium alloy enclosure. Finished in Window Grey (RAL7040) SemiThe MD61 from Marine Data: flexible in application, easy to install and Transmits Rudder Angle data to a Marine Data Rudder Angle Indicator, VDR or Auto-Pilot at any convenient location RELATED PRODUCTS • MD94DDU - Data Distribution Unit with Dual NMEA Inputs for Dual Rudder Installations  The complete range of Rudder Angle Indicators from Marine Data MD/RDI Rudder Indication System – Wheelmark Approved
