PREFACE
The MGR100 is a high-efficient GSM remote
controller specially designed to use in nautical
applications. Built-in GSM module with
different interfaces enable simple and easy
control and management of complete yacht
electrical and electronic equipment through
GSM mobile phone. Built-in relays enable
remote control of different yacht devices. Alarm
inputs enable remote control of different yacht
systems like pumps, engines and other
systems, voltage measuring and measuring of
temperature and humidity. By the help of
optional GPS receiver the position
management and tracking are enable and
alarming in the case of leaving or approaching
to the hold position.
The control of the unit is possible by the help of
SMS text messages or by the help of tone
(DTMF) dialing. Alarming is possible by
receiving the SMS text messages or by alarm
calls or by the combination of both of them.
Interactive voice responder confirms the
requests during DTMF control or inform about
the kind of alarm when alarm occurs. The unit
enables also speaker and microphone
connection to remote communication.
Programming is possible by the help of SMS
text messages or with PC by the help of RS-
232 serial interface.
This GSM Remote Control Unit comes in three
versions, Basic, Advance and Reference,
every model is available also with GPS
receiver.

INSTALLATION
All the diagrams in this manual show the installation of the GSM Remote Control Unit, model
MGR100G REFERENCE.
Note:
The main DC power supply has to be switched off before installation.
Also refer to the instruction manual of the equipment to be connected.
The total power consumption of all sensors, relays and other devices supplied from the
unit has not exceed 500mA.
The MGR100 series remote control unit have to be installed near the control board. Avoid the
installation in engine room, extremely hot places and near appliances generating strong magnetic
fields. The installation have to be realize by a qualified personel.
Note:
The GSM and GPS antennas have to be connected before the unit is switched-on.
The SIM card have to be inserted before the unit is switched-on. The SIM location 3
(password) has to be empty. The PIN code request have to be disabled.
DC power supply and Accumulator connection
The power supply have to be connected to the DC terminal block connector with right polarity and
protected with a fuse (not included). The power supply voltage have to be from 12 - 30VDC. The
back-up accumulator have to be connected to the ACCU terminal block connector with right polarity
and also protected with a fuse (not included).
Note:
The declared accumulator voltage have to be the same as the DC power supply voltage.

Control connections
Relays connection*
The relay control outputs are suitable to control four different yacht electrical and electronic devices,
connected directly or through external relays. First two relays have NO and NC contacts, other two
relays have only NO contacts.
Note:
The total DC curent consumption of connected equipment to each relay must not exceed
1A when the equipment are controlled directly from the unit. The maximum voltage
connected to the relays must not exceed 30V.
Digital outputs connection*
The digital outputs are suitable to control four different yacht electrical and electronic devices
connected through external relays.
Note:
The total DC curent consumption of each connected relay must not exceed 100mA.
