Detailed description

Satelliidiseade Yellow Brick YB3 tootjalt YB Tracking on satelliidijälgimissüsteem, mis on loodud töötamiseks kõige karmimate mere- ja maismaatingimuste korral. Kasutades Iridiumi satelliitkonstellatsiooni läbi oma 9602 modemiga, tagab see kogu maailma katvus põhja- ja lõunapooluseni ilma varjutsoonideta, pakkudes tugevat alternatiivi tarbijaseadmetele.

Asukoha ja side jõudlus

Varustatud GPS uBlox 50-kanalilise kiibiga ja Iridiumi võrgu jaoks Maxtena spiraalantenniga, pakub see seade erakordselt täpse asukohatäpsuse. Uuenduste sagedus võib ulatuda kuni 4 Hz-ni, soojast starti aeg on alla ühe sekundi ja külma starti aeg alla 60 sekundit. GPS tundlikkus -160 dBm tagab signaali haaramise ka rasketes tingimustes. Kasutajaliidesel on 26 x 35 mm OLED-ekraan, mis on selge ja loetav igal ajal. Bluetoothi ühenduse abil on võimalik lihtsalt ühendada mobiilseadmeid, samal ajal kui standardne USB-port tagab laadimise ja andmete ülekande.

Kõva konstruktsioon ja autonoomia

Eriti vastupidavaks loodud YB3 seade vastab sõjaväe MIL-STD-810G standarditele löögi- ja vibratsioonikindluse osas. Täielikult tolmu- ja veekindel IP67 sertifikaadiga korpus talub vee alla sukeldumist kuni 1 meetri sügavuseni. Töötamiseks võimaldab see temperatuurivahemikus -30°C kuni 60°C. Seade kasutab suurema mahutavusega 5,3 Ah LiPo akut. Voolutarve on kontrollitud, maksimaalne võimsus on 8W saatmisel/vastuvõtul. Kaaluga 305 grammi ja kompaktsete mõõtmetega 144 x 76 x 36 mm (antennita) sobib see seade hõlpsasti päästevarustusse või laeva roolijooksule.

Frequently asked questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the Yellow Brick YB3 beacon?

The Yellow Brick YB3 beacon is a professional satellite tracking system designed by YB Tracking. It enables geolocation of people or vessels in the most extreme marine and terrestrial environments, where standard mobile networks no longer operate.

Which satellite network is used by the YB3 beacon?

It relies on the Iridium satellite constellation via its 9602 modem. This provides truly global coverage, pole-to-pole, with no dead zones.

Is the YB3 tag fully waterproof?

Yes, it holds an IP67 rating. It is fully dustproof and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter deep, making it ideal for marine use.

What is the capacity of the built-in battery?

The beacon integrates a high-capacity 5.3Ah LiPo battery. Its power consumption is perfectly controlled (8W maximum during transmission/reception), providing excellent battery life for long expeditions.

How to recharge the YB3 beacon?

Recharging is done very simply via its standard USB port (5V input voltage). You can plug it into any standard USB charger, a computer, or a power bank.

What are the dimensions and weight of the device?

The device is designed to be compact and easily portable:

Dimensions: 144 x 76 x 36 mm (excluding antenna)Weight: 305 grams

Does the tag have a screen to read the information?

Yes, it is equipped with a 26 x 35 mm monochrome OLED display. It is designed to be clear and readable in all conditions, even in strong light.

What is the accuracy of the built-in GPS?

It is equipped with a uBlox 50-channel GPS chip with a sensitivity of -160dBm. This ensures extremely precise and reliable signal acquisition, even in harsh weather conditions.

How does satellite communication billing work?

The system is based on a monthly subscription (Basic, Standard, Pro or Corporate plans) combined with a prepaid credit system. Credits are deducted each time the beacon sends a position report or a text message.

Where should the beacon be installed on a boat?

For optimal performance, the beacon must be placed in a location with a clear view of the sky (e.g., at the helm or on deck). This ensures the GPS and Iridium antennas can receive signals without interference.

What type of cable is required for data transfer?

A standard USB cable is sufficient. The beacon's USB port is used both for charging the battery and for data transfer with a computer.

Is the YB3 beacon suitable for land use?

Yes, although it is highly valued in the nautical sector, it is designed to operate in the harshest terrestrial environments (deserts, mountains, jungles) thanks to its robustness and global coverage.

What is the GPS position refresh rate?

The position update rate (Update Rate) is highly performant and can reach up to 4Hz depending on the selected configuration.

What does the MIL-STD-810G standard guarantee for this product?

The MIL-STD-810G military certification ensures the beacon has been tested and validated to withstand extreme shocks and vibrations. This is a reliability guarantee for use on high-speed vessels or in highly rough conditions.

Should the tag be configured before heading out to sea?

Yes, it is essential to prepare the tag before departure. You must ensure your subscription is active, that you have sufficient credits, and configure the position transmission frequency via the interface or mobile application.

What type of antenna does the YB3 beacon have?

It is equipped with a Maxtena helical antenna, specifically designed to optimize communication with the Iridium satellite network, ensuring seamless data transmission.

Can text messages be sent with the YB3 tag?

Yes. By pairing the tag with your smartphone via Bluetooth, you can use the dedicated app to write and send short text messages via the satellite network, using your communication credits.
