Ultraflex ROD-5 Rudder Angle Sensor

Product description:

The Ultraflex ROD-5 Sender is a specialized transmitter designed to work with rudder angle indicators, mainly used in steering systems of watercraft. The device is mounted directly on the steering mechanism, where it precisely records the rudder angle and transmits the signal to the indicator installed on the control panel. This allows the boat operator to receive immediate information about the current rudder position, which is crucial for safe and precise maneuvering. The ROD-5 transmitter features a robust construction, resistance to marine conditions, and high measurement accuracy. Installation is intuitive – the device is equipped with dedicated mounts, and electrical connection is made using standard cables compatible with Ultraflex systems. The product is used both in recreational yachts and commercial vessels where reliability and quick steering system response are required. The ROD-5 is compatible with a wide range of Ultraflex indicators, enabling integration with various control panels and rudder position monitoring systems.
