What Is the DEIF XLS6 RPM Indicator?

The DEIF XLS6 is an analog tachometer designed to display the rotational speed (RPM) of marine diesel engines, generators, propulsion shafts, or other rotating machinery. It receives an electrical signal from an engine speed transmitter or automation system and converts it into an accurate needle indication.

Unlike digital displays, analog RPM indicators allow engineers to recognize rapid speed changes at a glance, making them especially valuable during maneuvering, synchronization, engine testing, and fault diagnosis.

These instruments are widely installed on engine control consoles, switchboards, engine room control panels, bridge propulsion panels, and generator synchronization systems.

SM MARINE SERVICE™ provides genuine and replacement DEIF instrumentation for marine automation systems, including RPM indicators, synchroscopes, frequency meters, voltmeters, ammeters, power meters, multifunction meters, and engine monitoring equipment.
