Osculati Instrumentation Indicators and Sensors

Gauges and sensors are essential for monitoring your vessel's performance and operating conditions. Osculati offers a wide range of measuring instruments designed to ensure precise and reliable monitoring of all critical onboard parameters, such as speed, depth, temperature, and pressure.

🔹 Types of Osculated Indicators and Sensors

1️⃣ Instrumentation Indicators

The gauges provide real-time readings on the vessel's vital parameters, such as speed, fuel level, engine temperature and much more.

Most common indicators :

• Speed ​​indicators : They measure the speed of the boat through a transducer installed on the bow.
• Fuel level indicators : Allow you to accurately monitor the fuel level in the tank, avoiding the risk of running out.
• Temperature gauges : Detect the temperature of the engine or cooling system to prevent overheating.
• Pressure Gauges : Used to monitor oil pressure or fuel pressure, which are essential to ensure proper engine operation.

2️⃣ Instrumentation Sensors

Sensors detect specific parameters and send information to displays or monitoring systems, allowing for precise data for optimal boat management.

Most common sensors :

• Depth sensors : Essential to avoid damage to the hull, they measure the distance between the bottom and the boat.
• Water temperature sensors : Monitor the temperature of the water in which the boat is sailing, useful for optimizing the engine and navigation.
• Wind sensors : Detect wind direction and speed, which are essential for sailing.
• Bilge Water Level Sensors : Detect the level of accumulated water in the bilge, to warn you before it becomes a problem.
• Battery level sensors : Monitor battery charge to prevent over-discharge.

3️⃣ Digital Monitoring Tools

Many marine instrumentation devices include digital displays , which provide a clear and detailed view of sensor readings, often with additional features such as historical data logging, alarms in the event of anomalies, and the ability to integrate multiple sensors.

Common features :

• LCD/LED Display : Easy to read even in bright light conditions.
• Remote Monitoring : Some advanced systems allow monitoring via mobile app or Wi-Fi connection.
• Ease of installation : Compatible with various types of boats and easily integrated with other nautical instruments.
