SAFETY AND HAZARD

Do not operate your Yacht Router and/or add-on modules:

  • In areas where blasting is in progress.
  • Where explosive atmospheres may be present including refueling points, fuel depots, and chemical plants.
  • Near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of radio interference.

In such areas, the Yacht Router and add-on modules MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, they can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
In an aircraft, the Yacht Router and add-on modules MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the Yacht Router and addon modules can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft or disrupt the cellular network. Use of cellular and WIFI equipment in an aircraft is illegal in some jurisdictions. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, or legal action or both.

IMPORTANT : It is solely on the end-user to set the transmitting power value for WIFI Booster to comply with the regulations of the country where the product will be used. Regulations and online WIFI power calculators (EIRP – Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power) are widely available on the Internet. Locomarine Networks d.o.o. cannot by responsible by any means for improper setup. Transmission power is set and regulated via Yacht Router Control software.

IMPORTANT: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
63 cm minimum distance has to be maintained between the antenna and the occupational user and 142 cm to the general public. Under such a configuration, the FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for a population/uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.

List of approved antennas: Omni Directional (pole), model Locomarine MOB 7

ANTENNA INSTALLATION: antennas from other products MUST NOT BE CO-LOCATED within 20 cm range to each other to satisfy FCC regulations.

WARNING : It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that when using the authorized antennas in the United States (or where FCC rules apply); only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the output power level of antennas, according to country regulations and per antenna type. Professional installation is required of equipment with connectors to ensure compliance with health and safety issues.

**PORTS AND CONNECTORS

**

Locomarine-S6-Yacht-Router-Micro-FIG3

Yacht Router Micro is equipped with following ports and connectors.

**CONNECTING POWER SUPPLY

**

There are two ways to power Yacht Router Micro:

  • DC in 8-30 V connector directly from vessel battery (with supplied DC power cable with connector 2 m)
  • DC in 8-30 V connector using supplied AC/DC power adaptor

The most common way is to connect Yacht Router Micro directly to the vessel battery using 2 m supplied DC power cable. The power cable consist of RED and BLACK wires. Connect the RED wire to the positive (+) and BLACK wire to the negative (ground -) power source on your vessel power supply system (battery).

IMPORTANT

  • Wrongly connected DC power cable can damage the Yacht Router and void a warranty.
  • Voltage lower than 8 V and higher than 30 V can damage the Yacht Router and void a warranty.

INSTALLING ANTENNAS

Yacht Router Micro is equipped with four antennae. Connect two antennas to a WIFI connector and two antennas to Mobile connectors.
To significantly increase performance and maximum offshore connectivity distance we strongly suggest the installation of outdoor antennas. For more info about outdoor antennas please visit our website www.yachtrouter.com

INSERTING SIM CARDS

Yacht Router Micro is equipped with two SIM card slots for nano SIM card size. Push the SIM card gently into the slot until you hear a click sound.
