Boat and Yacht

Many position sensors are used on the leisure cruiser boat or the yacht and our products have been used by the following applications.

1 Flying Bridge / Pilot House

a. Engine Control

Engine Control is a controller for manipulating the engine speed and forward- neutral- backward of the boat.Our angle position sensor has been installed for angle sensing of the levers of the controller.

Sensor Example

QP-3HB	CP-3HABS	CP-2HA
UV-JHA	CP-1Hx	CP-2Hx

b. Fish-Finder

Fish-Finder is a device used for detection the school of fish and also for acknowledging the depth and condition of the bottom of the sea. It is used for boat fishing and fishing boat.In order to irradiate ultrasonic wave to the right under the boat on the waves, our tilt sensor is used to keep the vertical of the irradiated surface of the Fish-Finder.

Sensor Example

UV Series

PMP-STH

THD2000Z

2 Motor / Rudder

a. Outboard Motor

The angle position sensors are installed in the shift actuator and throttle actuator connected to the outboard motor. The angle sensors are used as feedback sensors to check whether those actuators would work correctly with the signal from the controller.

Also, the angle sensors are installed in the power tilt & trim lift which adjusts the position angle of the outboard motor as well as measures and monitors the tilt/trim angle of the outboard motor.

b. Rudder Angle / Auto Pilot

Our angle position sensor is used for measuring or monitoring the angle of the rudder.

Sensor Example

QP-3HB	CP-3HABS	CP-2HA
CP-2FABSJ	CP-1Hx	CP-2Hx
UV-JHA	CP-45F	CP-2FJ

3   Others

a. Maritime Satellite Antenna (INMARSAT)

On the shipboard, you can use the internet and phone call via a stationary satellite. In order to direct the antenna to the direction of the satellite correctly on the waves, our inclinometer is used to keep the horizontal level of the boat.
