The Oceanic Systems 3165 Rudder Angle Adaptor allows standard European or American resistive rudder angle senders to transmit their rudder position over the NMEA2000® network. The unit is designed to greatly simplify installation with NO user setup or calibration required and NO display menus to struggle through. In multiple rudder installations, the sender type selection and the device instance setup are simply done with the small rotary switch on the unit. NMEA2000® network standard 3165 has a red port LED and a green starboard LED that flashes to indicate the unit is transmitting The 3165 has a red port LED and a green starboard LED that flashes to indicate the unit is transmitting the appropriate rudder position. The mechanical setup of the rudder angle sender is greatly simplified by setting the rudder midships and then adjusting the linkage to the sender until both LEDs illuminate when the sender is also at midships. It comes with a 1-meter NMEA2000® cable and a 2-meter rudder sensor cable to allow the unit to be placed in a convenient location. It is fully waterproof to IP67 and ruggedly constructed for years of reliable and accurate service. The unit comes with a detailed user manual and is manufactured to the NMEA2000® network standard.

Despite the significant damage done to the UK economy from COVID-19 this year, Oceanic Systems UK Ltd has reported record figures for the year.  Managing Director, Bruce Coward said: “Like so many companies earlier this year we went into lockdown and suspended production, but as the orders kept coming in we took steps to ensure we were Covid-secure and restarted production after just a month to fulfill the backlog that was building up. This was well received by our customers and with this quarter’s sales orders increasing by 93.8% over the last quarter, Oceanic currently has its largest ever open order book of more than £400k.” New product announcements Coward added: “With the success of Poseidon in both the leisure and the commercial marketplaces, in conjunction with exciting new products such as our dedicated Navigation Light Controller, our worldwide active customers have increased by 21.4% year to date which adds to these figures." To meet this increased demand, Oceanic has installed a second surface mount production line and hired extra team members. They also have a series of new product announcements over the next six months to increase the capability of the Poseidon system units for larger superyachts with more complex monitoring and control systems and full marine CCTV systems with some very innovative features.
