Application/Limitation
The rudder angle indicators may be used with other rudder angle transmitters to be type-tested
according to ISO 20673 (2007) and IEC 61162-1 (2016).
The rate-of-turn indicators MD67ROT and MD77ROT/MD77ROT120 are identical with MD67RDI and
MD77RDI, respectively except an upside-down scale and mounting and may be used with rate-of-turn
sensors to be type-tested according to ISO 20672 (2007) and IEC 61162-1 (2016).

Tests carried out

 Environmental and EMC testing: IEC 60945 (2002) incl. Corrigendum 1 (2008)
 Interface testing: IEC 61162-1 (2016) and IEC 61162-2 (1998)
 Presentation testing: IEC 62288 (2014)
 Performance testing: ISO 20673 (2007)
Note: The rudder angle indicators do not issue alerts, hence, testing according to IEC 62923-1/-2 is
deemed as not being applicable.
