Pływak śledzący YB Tracking YB3i stały – kabel 5 metrów

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

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

Yes, the YB3i is equipped with an internal backup battery. In case 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.

Absolutely. The housing is IP68 and IP69 certified. It is fully dustproof and designed to withstand prolonged immersion as well as the most extreme marine environments.

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

Yes, the beacon allows remote reconfiguration (Over-the-air). You can modify key parameters, such as 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-meter power cable, ideal for a fixed 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, absolutely. With its wide input range of 9 to 30V DC, it is fully compatible with 12V and 24V onboard systems.

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

Yes, the YB3i beacon can support an optional NMEA interface, enabling seamless communication and integration with existing onboard electronics.

Yes, the beacon integrates 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, ensuring 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 usage: the YB3 is a standalone portable beacon, whereas the YB3i is designed for fixed and permanent installation onboard, connected to the vessel's power supply, while retaining a backup battery.
