Baliză YB Tracking YB3i fixă - cablu 5 metri

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, 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 crucial for safety in the event of a 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 install 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 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 consuming 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 5-metre robust 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, exactly. With its wide input voltage 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 heavy seas.

Yes, the YB3i beacon can optionally support a 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, 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 (with 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, while the YB3i is designed for permanent fixed installation on board, connected to the vessel's power supply, while retaining a backup battery.
