1. Introduction
Yacht Controller, developed by Micro Device S.r.l., is an electronic remote control wireless, able
to control a boat the basic manuvering and mororing fuctions.
The first prototype, was developed in 1998, and since then “Yacht Controller” has undergone a
continuous evolution. Various types of electronic components have been tested for reliabilty and
saftey including such as the switches of the transmitter and the relays of the receiver, in order
to satisfy the most rigid military norms.
The system uses special propriatary microprocessors programmed directly in Micro Device
S.r.l’s laboratory thereby.; preventing interference with passerelas, gangways or anchor radio
controls which may be available and in use on the market. The range of contol of Yacht
Controller is limited and the transmission protocol, codified to the owner, makes interference
between the same or different systems working in the same zone impossible.
Severe and rugged tests conducted on various types of vessels, have proven the resistance
and the reliability of Yacht Controller in marine environment, addidtionally the Yacht Controller
has been subjected to a battery of laboratory tests in order to further ensure proper operation.
With Yacht Controller is possible to easily control, , the bow thruster, stern thruster, either
engine, multiple anchors or winches using simple switches
“Yacht Controller” is electronically safe because, it is linked in parallel with the existing controls,
thereby allowing uninteruppted full manual contol of them should the need arise. In fact, if the
communication between theYacht Contoller transmitter and the receiver were to stop for any
reason, an acoustic signal immediately informs the user about the necessity of manually taking
the control of the boat again.
IMPORTANT:
Further information concerning the complete system, including the transmitter and the
correspondent receiver, are available in the installation manual.
1.1. General transmitter features
The transmission unit, similar to a remote control, is supplied with switches (two, three or four or
more according to the models) for the radio transmission of the controls..
Some models also include pressure switches on the front of the device for ancor, wich or
passerella controls
Every transmitter has a uniques and different code programmed in the factory, and chosen from
more than 65.000 combinations.
