Detailed description

The Navico BT-1 base station is the essential communication module for connecting the WR10 wireless remote to your autopilot system. Designed for universal compatibility with Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G equipment, it establishes a stable and secure Bluetooth link, allowing you to control your heading from anywhere on the boat with a range exceeding 30 meters. This specific part number (000-12359-001) refers to the base station only, without a connecting cable, making it an ideal replacement part for a repair or a custom integration into an existing network.

Network Integration and Performance

The BT-1 station is powered directly via the Micro-C (NMEA 2000) network with a voltage range of 9 to 16 V DC. Its power consumption is extremely low, less than 100 mA at 12 V DC, thus preserving your battery bank's autonomy. Network integration is simple and only requires an available Micro-C T-connector. Unlike older radio frequency remotes, Bluetooth technology offers simple pairing and a robust connection, free from common interference.

Robust Design for the Marine Environment

IPX7 certified, the BT-1 base station is fully waterproof and designed to withstand the harshest marine conditions. It operates within an extended temperature range, from -25°C to +60°C, and supports a humidity level of 95% at 66°C. Its compact design and low power consumption make it a reliable and discreet component of your electronic installation, ensuring precise control of your autopilot in all circumstances.

Expert opinion

Pol CONIN

Digital Manager

« BT-1: The essential Bluetooth gateway for the WR10 remote control »

The BT-1 base station is the essential communication hub for Navico's WR10 wireless remote control ecosystem. Its main strength lies in its seamless integration with B&G, Simrad, and Lowrance autopilot systems via a standard Micro-C connection. The choice of Bluetooth technology ensures simple pairing and a stable connection, with a range of over 30 meters which is more than sufficient for most sailboats and powerboats. On the technical side, its low power consumption of less than 100 mA is a major asset for long voyages. Its robustness, certified by IPX7 waterproofing and a wide operating temperature range, ensures long-term reliability even in exposed installations. This cable-free version is particularly relevant for replacing a faulty unit, avoiding the purchase of a complete kit and thus optimizing maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the BT-1 base station used for?

The BT-1 base station is a Bluetooth communication module. Its main role is to create a wireless link between the WR10 autopilot remote control and your autopilot system (Simrad, Lowrance, or B&G) connected to your boat's NMEA 2000 network.

How does the base station connect to the boat's network?

The BT-1 base station connects directly to your NMEA 2000 network via its Micro-C connector. Installation is simple by adding it to an available T-connector on your boat's main backbone.

Which autopilot brands is this station compatible with?

The BT-1 base station is designed to work with autopilot systems from Navico group brands. Compatibility is ensured with:

SimradLowranceB&GThe condition is that the system is equipped with an NMEA 2000 (Micro-C) network.

Is the BT-1 base station waterproof?

Yes, the base station has an IPX7 waterproof rating. This means it is protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes, making it perfectly suited for the marine environment.

What power supply does this device require?

The base station is powered directly by the NMEA 2000 network (via the Micro-C connector). It operates on a voltage range of 9 to 16 V DC and requires no external or separate power source.

What is the power consumption of the BT-1 station?

The electrical consumption of this device is very low. It is less than 100 mA at a voltage of 12 V DC, which helps preserve the battery life of your service batteries.

Can I use this base station with a remote control other than the WR10?

No, the BT-1 base station is specifically designed to communicate via Bluetooth with the Navico WR10 wireless remote control. It is not compatible with other remote control models.

What type of cable do I need to buy for installation?

Since this product is sold without a cable, you will need to purchase a Micro-C drop cable. The length will depend on the distance between your main NMEA 2000 network and the base station's mounting location.

Is the BT-1 base station compatible with a NMEA 2000 network?

Yes, absolutely. The BT-1 base station uses a Micro-C connector, which is the standard for NMEA 2000 networks. Its integration is therefore direct on this type of network.

Do I need a specific connector to add it to the network?

Yes, to integrate the base station into an existing NMEA 2000 network, you will need a Micro-C T-connector available on your backbone (main network line).

What communication technology is used between the base and the remote control?

Communication between the BT-1 base station and the WR10 remote control is done via Bluetooth wireless technology, which ensures simple pairing and a stable connection.

My autopilot is a B&G brand, will this product work?

Yes, the BT-1 base station is fully compatible with B&G autopilot systems that have an NMEA 2000 network with a Micro-C connector.

Is the installation complicated?

The installation is considered simple for anyone familiar with NMEA 2000 networks. It consists of physically connecting the base station to the network via a T-connector and a drop cable, then performing Bluetooth pairing with the remote control.

Is the BT-1 base station compatible with Lowrance systems?

Yes, this module is designed to work with Lowrance autopilots equipped with NMEA 2000 (Micro-C) network connectivity.

Where is it recommended to mount the base station?

For optimal Bluetooth link performance, it is recommended to mount the base station in a dry location, away from significant metallic obstructions that could interfere with the wireless signal. A high and clear position is ideal.

Does this product replace older radio frequency remotes?

Yes, this system based on the BT-1 base station and the WR10 remote control uses Bluetooth technology, which is more modern than older radio frequency (RF) remotes. Bluetooth offers simpler pairing and a connection less prone to interference.
