akYtecs Panel Meters ITP15-M and ITP17 enable fast, accurate onboard signal visualization by converting process data into a clear backlit bar graph or numeric readout. Users can assess system status at a glance with color transitions in green, yellow and red based on set thresholds. These compact units integrate smoothly into control panels. By minimizing operator errors through intuitive displays and consistent interfaces, they improve safety and efficiency in critical marine operations.
Reliable Onboard Monitoring of Ballast Water, Cooling, Power Systems
Onboard systems rely on these meters to monitor ballast water management, cooling and ventilation power distribution, propulsion units, steam networks with accuracy. Real-time readings for temperature, fluid level, pressure, and humidity are displayed at the installation site, enabling immediate awareness of system conditions. Whenever parameters exceed predefined thresholds, integrated switching outputs automatically trigger alarms or control actions. This streamlined process accelerates operator response times and minimizes maintenance efforts across critical shipboard operations.
Standard cutout compatibility ensures robust IP65-rated panel meter operation
These devices are designed to seamlessly integrate into standard 22.5 mm cutouts and feature a compact front panel measuring 48 à 26 mm with overall dimensions of 48 à 26 à 72 mm. The robust front housing meets IP65 protection, safeguarding against dust ingress and water jets, while the rear enclosure meets IP20. Rated to operate within a broad temperature range from -40 °C to +60 °C, they maintain reliable performance even in the most demanding environmental conditions encountered onboard vessels.
ITP15-M Features 10-Segment Backlit Display With Customizable Three-Color Zones
The ITP15-M uses a compact LED ten-segment display to present 0-100% with programmable green, yellow, and red zones, clearly indicating safe to critical levels. An optional blinking mode signals alarm conditions. Its NPN transistor output supports up to 200 mA at 42 VDC for direct control. Input flexibility uniquely covers current (0-5 mA, 0(4)-20 mA), voltage (0-10 V, 0-1 V, ±50 mV), and RTD or thermocouple robust sensors. Device power is 24 VDC (10-30 VDC range).
ITP17 Four-Digit Display Provides Customizable Color Thresholds And Logic
The ITP17 features a four-digit 7-segment display with green, yellow and red color changes for clear reading of measured values. Individual color thresholds and alarm logic can be configured to match application requirements. An NPN transistor output handles automated switching tasks up to 200 mA at 42 VDC. Input channels support current, voltage, RTDs and thermocouples. The unit operates from a 24 VDC supply (10-30 VDC) for consistent performance.
Configure settings quickly via Micro-USB using akYtec Tool Pro
All device parameters can be configured easily via a Micro-USB connection and the complimentary akYtec Tool Pro software. Users can rapidly define limit values, adjust blinking behavior and set alarm logics through an intuitive interface. This streamlined setup ensures that panel meters become operational quickly without any extensive system modifications. The process requires minimal technical expertise, reducing commissioning time and enabling immediate deployment within existing control architectures with maximum simplicity.
akYtec ITP15-M and ITP17 Enhance Maritime Process Monitoring Efficiency
The ITP15-M and ITP17 units provide maritime crews with an intuitive color-coded representation of critical process parameters, significantly reducing misinterpretations in shipboard operations. Designed with a rugged compact enclosure, these devices accommodate various input types including current, voltage, RTDs and thermocouples. Integration and configuration are simplified through a Micro-USB port and software. Their robust construction and adaptable signal handling enhance both operational safety and maintenance efficiency across marine control systems.
