YB Tracking YB3i tvirtinamoji balizė – 5 m kabelis

The YB3i beacon is a professional fixed tracking system designed for ships and offshore sailboats. It uses the Iridium global satellite network to reliably transmit positions and data, even in harsh maritime conditions.

The YB3i beacon operates on the Iridium satellite network, which provides truly global coverage, pole-to-pole, ensuring uninterrupted tracking wherever you sail.

Yes, the YB3i is equipped with an internal backup battery. In the event of a main power failure on board, the system automatically switches to this battery to maintain transmission.

The internal backup battery allows the beacon to operate autonomously for up to two weeks without external power, which is critical for safety in case of major failure.

Yes. The housing is IP68 and IP69 certified. It is completely dustproof and designed to withstand prolonged immersion as well as the harshest marine environments.

The YB3i beacon housing is very compact. It measures 137 mm in diameter and 40 mm in height, making it easy to install on the deck or the boat's arch with minimal windage.

Yes, the beacon allows remote reconfiguration (Over-the-air). You can modify key parameters, such as the position transmission frequency, without physically accessing the device.

Power consumption is extremely controlled. The device requires a maximum of 500 mA during transmission and features an ultra-low power sleep mode drawing less than 30 mA.

The YB3i beacon is designed to operate in extreme conditions, with an operating temperature range from -30 °C to 60 °C.

This specific model comes with a robust 5-metre power cable, ideal for permanent installation aboard your vessel.

The beacon is designed to be connected directly to your vessel's electrical system. It accepts a DC input voltage ranging from 9 to 30V.

Yes, it is. Thanks to its wide input voltage range of 9 to 30V DC, it is fully compatible with both 12V and 24V onboard systems.

Yes, unlike portable beacons, the YB3i is specifically optimized for permanent outdoor installation. Its ruggedized housing protects it from weather, UV rays, and spray.

Yes, the YB3i tag can support an NMEA interface as an option, enabling seamless communication and integration with existing onboard electronics.

Yes, the beacon includes Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) connectivity, enabling easy communication with nearby compatible mobile devices or tablets.

The beacon is equipped with a high-quality Maxtena 1621 patch antenna, which ensures reliable data transmission to the satellite network, even in rough seas.

In addition to power, the beacon offers several wired communication interfaces depending on the configuration, including USB and Serial connections (UART / RS-232 / RS-485).

Yes, using the Iridium network requires subscribing to a monthly plan (no minimum commitment period) and purchasing communication credits for sending messages and positions.

The main difference lies in the use: the YB3 is a standalone portable beacon, while the YB3i is designed for fixed and permanent installation on board, connected to the vessel's power supply, while retaining a backup battery.
