Description
The Kongsberg RAi-16 (Part Number: 8100148) is a marine-grade remote analog input distributed processing unit utilized within the DataChief C20 and K-Chief automation architectures. Engineered to handle data collection in demanding marine environments, this card features 16 highly configurable analog channels capable of processing voltage, current, and resistance inputs directly from shipboard sensors, alongside a dedicated high-speed counter loop.
- Condition: New Original (Factory Sealed Surplus)
- Availability: Stocked at maritime logistics hubs near major international shipping ports
- Lead Time: 1 to 2 business days for immediate express dispatch
- Warranty: 12-month standard industrial warranty

When deploying the RAi-16 inside a generator or engine superstructure enclosure, keep in mind that this card provides no galvanic isolation between its analog input channels. The module’s metallic chassis serves as the common 0 V reference point for all connected sensor loops. In our experience, failing to verify clean grounding contacts before commissioning will overlay massive electrical noise on your RTD channels, frequently masking true values with erratic trend lines.
Well, technically it accommodates software-based scaling parameters stored internally to completely bypass manual hardware trimmers, but you must ensure your system’s head-end unit recognizes the exact module firmware revision (such as Rev E1 or F1) to handle the timestamped CANopen packets accurately. Clean out all debris from the pluggable screw terminals prior to securing the locking screws.
Global Logistics and Customs Compliance Information
Procuring critical marine automation equipment requires fast transit execution to prevent vessels from incurring costly port detention fines.
Compliance and Tariff Coding
- HS Code: 85319000 (Parts of electrical sound or visual signaling apparatus for marine ships/systems)
- ECCN: EAR99 (Standard commercial marine equipment, clear for export to non-embargoed countries)
Marine Freight Execution & Incoterms
We regularly handle emergency vessel supply orders under FCA (Free Carrier) or DAP (Delivered at Place) terms, coordinating directly with international air couriers like DHL Express or FedEx to deliver parts directly to port agents or shipyards. Since these modules are subject to engine room vibration standards up to 4G, they are packed inside anti-static shielding bags and secured within impact-resistant, multi-wall corrugated cardboard packaging to preserve component integrity during flight transit.
