Odašiljač YB Tracking YB3i fiksni – kabel duljine 3 metra

The YB3i beacon is a satellite tracking system designed for fixed installation on ships and professional vehicles. It reliably transmits your GPS position via the global Iridium network.

Unlike the YB3 model, which is portable and runs on a rechargeable battery, the YB3i is designed for permanent installation. It is powered directly by your boat's electrical system, providing unlimited autonomy without the need to worry about recharging.

The YB3i beacon uses the Iridium satellite constellation. This network provides global coverage from pole to pole, ensuring data transmission even in the most remote maritime areas.

Yes, it has an IP69 waterproof certification. This means it is completely dust-tight and can withstand high-pressure water jets, making it ideal for extreme marine environments.

The YB3i beacon is compatible with 12V and 24V DC (direct current) onboard systems. It therefore easily adapts to the vast majority of battery banks found on recreational boats and commercial vessels.

This specific model comes with a 3-metre power cable. This allows for direct and easy connection to your vessel's electrical system during installation.

To ensure optimal transmission to Iridium satellites, it is strongly recommended to install the beacon outdoors, in an area clear of any metal obstacles. Mounting on a pushpit, coachroof, or mast is ideal.

No, the YB3i beacon has its own GPS and Iridium antennas integrated under its dome. There is no need to install or cable an additional external antenna.

The beacon itself is very lightweight and compact, weighing only 0.35 kg. Its total weight with the 3-meter cable and accessories is approximately 0.86 kg.

Yes, as with any satellite communication device, a subscription or data plan (credits) is required with YB Tracking to transmit GPS positions via the Iridium network.

Absolutely. With its continuous wired power supply and exceptional robustness (IP69), it eliminates the need for battery charging. It is a preferred choice for fleet tracking and safety during offshore races.

Yes, although it is very popular in the marine industry, the YB3i tag is perfectly suited for installation on land-based professional vehicles operating in dead zones without cellular coverage.

The beacon is designed to be screwed or bolted permanently onto a flat surface. Its design ensures a secure fit to withstand strong vibrations and sudden boat movements.

Yes, the positioning data transmitted by the YB3i beacon can be viewed on an online mapping interface or via YB Tracking's dedicated applications, allowing your relatives or team to track you in real time.

The YB3i beacon is equipped with an internal backup battery that automatically takes over. It can continue to transmit its position for 720 hours in the event of a loss of the boat's main power supply.

Physical installation is very simple, consisting of electrical connection and mechanical mounting. Frequency configuration (tracking) is easily done via a mobile app over Bluetooth or from your online account.

It is possible to adapt the wiring to your installation, but it is crucial to strictly respect the polarities and ensure perfect watertightness of the connections to avoid compromising the device's operation in a marine environment.

Yes, the Iridium constellation is the only satellite network to provide true 100% global coverage, including oceans, southern seas, and polar regions (Arctic and Antarctic).

The YB3i is primarily an automatic tracker. However, when paired with a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth and the YB Connect app, it allows sending and receiving short text messages (SMS or emails).

The beacon's power consumption is extremely low, particularly in standby mode between position transmissions. It will therefore have a negligible impact on your vessel's battery bank, even during very long passages.
