SAFETY AND HAZARD
Do not operate your Yacht Router and/or add-on modules:
• In areas where blasng is in progress.
• Where explosive atmospheres may be present including refuelling points, fuel depots, and chemical plants.
• Near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment which may be suscepble to any form of radio interference.
In such areas, Yacht Router and add-on modules MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, they can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
In an aircra, 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 on-
board systems and may be dangerous to the operaon of the aircra or disrupt the cellular network. Use of cellular and WIFI equipment in an aircra is illegal in some jurisdicons. Failure
to observe this instrucon may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the oender, or legal acon or both.
IMPORTANT: It is solely on end-user to set transming power value for WIFI Booster to comply with regulaons of country where product will be used. Regulaons 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. Trans-
mion power is set and regulated via Yacht Router Control soware.
IMPORTANT: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiaon.
63 cm minimum distance has to be maintained between the antenna and the occupaonal user and 142 cm to general public. Under such conguraon, the FCC radiaon exposure limits
set forth for an populaon/uncontrolled environment can be sased.
List of approved antennas:
Omni Direconal (pole), model Locomarine MOB 7
ANTENNA INSTALLATION: antennas from other products MUST NOT BE CO-LOCATED within 20 cm range to each other to sasfy FCC regulaons.
WARNING: It is installer’s responsibility to ensure that when using the authorized antennas in the United States (or where FCC rules apply); only those antennas cered with the product
are used. The use of any antenna other than those cered with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should congure the output
power level of antennas, according to country regulaons and per antenna type. Professional installaon is required of equipment with connectors to ensure compliance with health and
safety issues.

2.1. CONNECTING POWER SUPPLY
There are few ways to power Mobile Expander:
• DC in 8-30 V connector directly from Yacht Router DC out (with supplied DC power cable with connectors 0.3 m)
• 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
• PWR 5V connector using standard mobile phone charger with micro USB connector (not supplied)
• ETH POE IN 12-57 V connector using POE (Power-Over-Ethernet) injector
Most common way is to connect Mobile Expander directly from the Yacht Router DC out port as it will provide stabilized DC power.
If you plan to install Mobile Expander on a remote locaon away from Yacht Router, you can power it using PoE injector and Ethernet LAN cable. That is very useful when you want to use
outdoor antennas with Mobile Expander with minimum coax cable length between antennas and Mobile Expander.
You can also power Mobile Expander directly from vessel baery using 2 m supplied DC power cable. Power cable consist of RED and BLACK wire. Connect RED wire to posive (+) and
BLACK wire to negave (ground -) power source on your vessel power supply system (baery).
IMPORTANT
Never connect more than one power source at the same time. Connecting multiple power supplies at the same time can damage Mobile Expander and void a warranty.
Wrongly connected DC power cable can damage Mobile Expander and void a warranty.
Voltage lower than 8 V and higher than 30 V can damage Mobile Expander and void a warranty.

2.2. CONNECTING MOBILE EXPANDER TO YACHT ROUTER STANDARD
There are two most common ways to connect Mobile Expander to the Yacht Router Standard.
IMPORTANT It is important to connect Mobile Expander via Ethernet cable to any Backbone port on the Yacht Router.
On the following photo Mobile Expander is powered using supplied 0.3 m cable directly from the Yacht Router. Mobile Expander in protected with a DC out fuse on a Yacht Router.
CHAPTER 2 - INSTALLATION

13
CHAPTER 2 - INSTALLATION
On the following photo Mobile Expander is powered using Power-over-Ethernet injector (supplied with the Mobile Expander). This method is very useful when you want to install Mobile
Expander on a remote locaon (e.g. close to the radar arch to minimize coax cable loss between Mobile Expander and outdoor antennas).
You can connect maximum two Mobile Expanders to the Yacht Router Standard.
IMPORTANT When using two Mobile Expanders with Yacht Router Standard only one GPS antenna should be connected.

2.3. INSTALLING ANTENNAS
Mobile Expander is equipped with two mobile antennas and one GPS antenna.
GPS antenna
GPS antenna is equipped with 5 m cable. Antenna is waterproof so you can install it outdoor if necessary.
Mobile antennas
To achieve best performance both mobile antennas should be connected.
To signicantly increase performance and maximum connecvity distance we strongly suggest installaon of outdoor antennas.
