General Information

The Signal Controller Ti98 is a robust, user-friendly, and cost-effective solution for both whistle and Morse light operations. Designed for easy installation on various vessel types, it combines reliability with efficiency. Its key features include a membrane key panel and an LCD matrix display that presents all vital information at a glance. The panel illumination, which uses red light, is adjustable through dimmer buttons for optimal visibility. Additional key features are:

• “Whistle activated” output
• General Emergency Alarm (GEA) input
• External push-button input for activating selected outputs
• Separate power supplies for whistle and Morse light/lantern
• Options for automatic or manual control of signal characters
• Customizable signal characters for automatic mode

Automatic and Manual Signaling

The Ti98 controller supports automatic signaling with five pre-set signal characters, and users can enable up to five more through the software. These signal characters can be applied to the whistle, Morse light, or both, allowing flexible operation. The signal period time can be set to 60, 90, or 120 seconds. If the automatics are active, pressing the manual button on the panel or an external button will immediately deactivate them. You can adjust the characters and period time with the automatics either on or off, with an LED indicator showing the current status.
 
In manual mode, the push button on the panel activates the selected outputs displayed on the screen. This action deactivates the automatic mode instantly.
 

Additional Functions

The “Whistle active” function not only triggers a potential-free relay output when the whistle operates but also facilitates seamless integration with systems like Kockum Sonics’ S90 Sound Signal Surveillance System. This feature proves particularly useful, as it can mute the ship’s whistle when necessary. Furthermore, the GEA function, which is controlled by an external relay, immediately halts the automatics and activates all connected signals, while displaying “EXTERNAL ALARM.” Once the final signal is activated, a 5-second timeout occurs before the unit smoothly transitions back to normal operations.
