Ockam Hardware
There are several handy auxillary inputs available for use with Ockam systems.

Loadcells
are sensitive devices that ensure optimal rig tension. In addition to the sensor, an amplifier is required to calibrate and digitize the signal for display. The T1, T2 or 066 Loadcell interface accept the digital signal from a loadcell amplifier for display.

The 067 Loadcell processor accepts a loadcell sensor directly, eliminating the need for a seperate amplifier.



Displacement
sensors monitor a multitude of things including rudder, tab and keels/center board(s), mast ram and cunningham.

The 069 Displacement interface connects these sensors to the Ockam system.



Depth
The T1, T2 or 028 Depth interface accept a smart depth sensor or the NMEA output from an external source. A second depth readout is available via the 099 2nd depth interface.

Custom interfaces

There are often requirements to measure and display some non-standard item. The 069 Displacement interface handles many of these jobs. But, sometimes, no standard interface is suitable. For those cases, Ockam provides the custom interface service. These products are grouped under the 099 part number. To date, we have produced over 150 such 1-off products.

A good example of such an interface is the 099DM1 displacement controller. This is a displacement interface with the added advantage of being able to control the item it is measuring. This device was developed to control a forward hydraulic rudder. It was produced in 2 weeks for $1500.
