Stacja bazowa BT-1 WR10 (bez kabla)

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

The BT-1 base station connects directly to your NMEA 2000 network via its Micro-C connector. Installation is straightforward: simply add it to a T-connector available on your boat’s main backbone network.

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

Simrad, Lowrance, B&G. The system must be equipped with an NMEA 2000 network (Micro-C).

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 to a marine environment.

The base station is powered directly from the NMEA 2000 network (via the Micro-C connector). It operates within a voltage range of 9 to 16 V DC and does not require any external or separate power source.

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

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.

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 mounting location of the base station.

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

Communication between the BT-1 base station and the WR10 remote control uses Bluetooth wireless technology, ensuring simple pairing and a stable connection.

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

Installation is considered straightforward for anyone familiar with NMEA 2000 networks. It involves physically connecting the base station to the network via a T-connector and a drop cable, then pairing the Bluetooth remote control.

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

For optimal Bluetooth performance, mount the base station in a dry location, away from significant metal obstructions that could interfere with the wireless signal. A high, unobstructed position is ideal.

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