AlphaLine Repeater

A new generation of displays
A new standard

Smart, clear, consistent, safe, just some of the ways to describe what the AlphaLine Repeater Display series of navigation and communication instruments bring to the bridge of the future. A full lineup instruments that are easy to operate via an intuitive color touchscreen display, which is available in three standard sizes and two colors that form a well-aligned complete whole. A software-driven instrument line that will meet the requirements of information displays for use in the marine and offshore sector.

Choose a display then software,
or vice versa

The nautical instruments can act as a standalone indicator or as a repeater for measurements such as speed, depth, time, wind speed and direction. In the AlphaLine displays we offer a complete series of sophisticated instruments typified by uniform design and simple operation. Besides touchscreen control we also have a version supported by a multifunctional rotary knob or joystick operation whenever more functionality is needed.

The TFT displays can also be used outside according to DNV 2.4 standard, front IP56 and rear IP22. The touch screens can be easily read during daylight but also in darkness, with excellent clarity, even when viewed from a wide angle.



Uniform user interface

With just one physical button on the display, the three display sizes may be the first thing you notice. But there is so much more. Our engineers have created a beautiful platform for the software driven instrument line. The three display sizes may be horizontal or vertical, regardless of which of the many different products software is installed. The graphical user interface is logical, easy to use and consistent throughout.

This uniform approach and complete range of sophisticated display lines have been built from the ground up and inspired by JRC’s Multi Function Display (MFD). Think of logic of operation, finding menu buttons and even the color palette have been shared to create a consistent bridge and operational approach. This allows the operator to familiarize easily with our product range, whether it is the AlphaLine Repeater, JRC’s MFD or any of the navigation and communication products that will be introduced in the near future.





Day, dusk, night and more

All our instruments feature dim backlighting from 0 to 100% from a central dimming system and have a theme-option available from the menu. This theme-option has three backlight presets where contrast and color are set in a fixed value and can be easily adjusted to day, dusk and night. Within these presets, a customer is able to do manual dimming with small increments.





Snap on mounting

Standard in the box is our famous and unique snap on flush mount system, making it possible to fit the display without tools. After cutting a hole that fits the mounting frame, the display can easily be pushed into the frame and kept in position by a click/spring system. As a result a minimal amount of screws or mounting bolts are visible and allows for easy maintenance.





Desktop and ceiling mounting

Desktop or ceiling mounting for the 6.5-inch display is optionally possible using a ruggedized and watertight bracket.

Display sizes

The most suitable arrangement of instruments and screen sizes can be selected for every type of ship. Depending on the application or information required, the software can be installed for merchant or inland shipping.

The AlphaLine Repeater displays have all software versions of different instruments built in and at the time of installation a particular function can be selected. However, the AlphaLine "indicator" displays have dedicated software for a particular application which cannot be changed and is as such certified and MED approved as part of a complete system.



Discover the software versions


The AlphaLine displays offer a complete series of sophisticated instruments typified by uniform design and simple operation on a single hardware platform.

Heading

Shows the ship’s heading information from a standard ship’s compass.

Heading+

Shows the ship’s heading from a standard compass and an analog scale in tenths of degrees.

TMC

Shows a digital read out of the analog magnetic compass.

TMC+

Shows a digital read out of the analog magnetic compass and with GPS connected true heading is available.

Depth (Sea)

Shows depth, shallow depth alarm and selectable depth scales and units.

Depth (River)

Shows two depth readings simultaneously from both transducers installed.

Depth Single

Shows, similar to the sea version, single depth information.

Speed (Sea)

Shows the ship’s speed in knots (either from single GPS antenna or speed log).

Speed (River)

Shows the ship’s speed in km/h (either from single GPS antenna or speed log).

Speed log

The speed log uses two GPS sensors (bow/stern) and a heading sensor (gyro) to calculate longitudinal and transversal ship speed, useful in docking and slow speed maneuvering. The system can also be used as a generic speed log repeater for showing SOG or STW info.

Rudder (Sea)

Shows the rudder angle (with needle up) is if required expandable with a rudder feedback unit.

Rudder (River)

Shows the rudder angle (with needle down) is if required expandable with a rudder feedback unit.

Turn (Sea)

Shows the ship’s Rate of Turn (ROT) from a standard ship’s compass.

Turn (River)

Shows the ship’s Rate of Turn (ROT) mandatory for all inland vessels, which have also installed a river radar.

RudderTurn

Shows the Rudder and Rate of Turn (ROT) on a single screen, particularly useful while maneuvering.

Time

Shows the actual date and time, can also be connected to GPS for time synchronization.

Wind (Sea/Relative)

Shows the relative and/or true wind info received from compatible wind sensor.

Wind (River)

Shows the relative wind info received from compatible wind sensor.

Meteo (Sea/Relative)

Shows true and/or relative wind and meteo info such as atmospheric pressure and temperature.

Meteo (River)

Shows relative wind and meteo info such as atmospheric pressure and temperature.
