5.1 DR75 Digital Repeater (NMEA)

Introduction

DR75 is a four digit, digital heading repeater. It is powered from 24 VDC, which is derived from the ships supply. Power consumption is low typically 10 watts.

The display gives a resolution and an accuracy to one tenth of a degree. The display is visible to three meters over an arc of ninety degrees from its centre.

The repeater can either be console mounted or bulkhead mounted with its supplied trunnion bracket.

The internal components are housed in a robust splashproof aluminium enclosure.

In addition to the heading display this repeater has an additional display which can be used to indicate rate of turn or to indicate the desired course to be steered. These features are selectable by buttons on the front.
