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 refuelling points, fuel depots, and chemical plants.
• Near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible 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 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 on-board
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 end-user to set transmitting power value for WIFI Booster to comply with regulations of country where 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. Transmittion
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 general public. Under such conguration, the FCC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an population/uncontrolled environment can be satised.
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 installer’s responsibility to ensure that when using the authorized antennas in the United States (or where FCC rules apply); only those antennas certied with the product are used.
The use of any antenna other than those certi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 regulations and per antenna type. Professional installation is required of equipment with connectors to ensure compliance with health and safety issues.

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1. ABOUT YACHT ROUTER MINI S6
Yacht Router Mini s6 (Yacht Router Mini in further text) is designed for installation on vessels with single satellite Internet sources. It will provide the ability to establish two vessel networks (e.g.
Owner, Crew) as WIFI and cable version. Each Vessel Network can be simultaneously connected to same or different Internet source. For example: you can connect Owner network to the internet
via VSAT (using additional satellite equipment), while in the same time Crew network can access Internet over mobile 3G/4G/5G network. For larger vessels where single WIFI access point is
not enough to cover all vessel areas, multiple Network Extender modules can be installed.

SAT 1 port
Satellite equipment input ports (VSAT, FBB, Iridium etc). It can also be used for any other Internet source equipment like ADSL or mobile router (2G/3G/4G).
Vessel Networks 1-2 ports
Ethernet LAN ports for various devices (e.g. computers, printers, IP cameras) that you want to integrate with dedicated Vessel Network. Each port dedication can be changed on demand (e.g.
Vessel Network 1 LAN port can be set to Backbone network).
Backbone ports
Backbone ports are part of Backbone network. Backbone network is network dedicated for communication between various Yacht Router equipment like Mobile Expander, WIFI Booster, Network
Extender etc. Backbone network cannot provide Internet access. Each port dedication can be changed on demand (e.g. Backbone LAN port 2 can be set to Vessel network 2).
CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

2.1. CONNECTING POWER SUPPLY
There are two ways to power Yacht Router Mini:
• Power in 10-28 V connector directly from vessel battery (with supplied DC power cable without connector 2 m)
• Power in 10-28 V connector using supplied AC/DC power adaptor
Most common way is to connect Yacht Router Micro directly to vessel battery using 2 m supplied DC power cable. Power cable consist of RED and BLACK wire. Connect RED wire to positive (+)
and BLACK wire to negative (ground -) power source on your vessel power supply system (battery).
If you are using supplied AC/DC adapter connect BLACK wire (marked with +) is positive DC and BLACK with WHITE STRIPE wire is negative DC.
IMPORTANT Wrongly connected DC power cable can damage Yacht Router and void a warranty.
Voltage lower than 10 V and higher than 28 V can damage Yacht Router and void a warranty.
CHAPTER 2 - INSTALLATION

2.2. CONNECTING ADDITIONAL MODULES AND DEVICES
You can upgrade your Yacht Router with following equipment:
WIFI Booster
It is device for long-range WIFI connection to shore WIFI networks (e.g. marina Hotspot). WIFI Booster is waterproof Power-Over-Ethernet device that you can install directly on a mast or radar
arch. As you can attach WIFI antenna directly to the WIFI Booster there is no coax cable signal loss. With optional high gain outdoor antenna, you can expect up to 10 NM connection, even
further in ideal conditions.
Mobile Expander
It is device that will give you possibility to connect Yacht Router to 3G/4G mobile networks. It is equipped with high power modem and with additional outdoor antennas it is possible to get 30+
NM offshore connection. Mobile Expander is equipped with GPS receiver and miniature GPS antenna for Remote Tracking and Anchor alarm service.
Network Extender
Network Extender is a device that will help you to extend Vessel Networks WIFI coverage on larger boats or yachts. It is designed to work both on 2.4 and 5 GHz (b/g/n + a/n/ac) frequency
range. It is connected to Yacht Router via single PoE (Power over Ethernet) cable for simultaneous power and data transfer. Each Network Extender is equipped with four additional LAN ports so
you can easily connect more Network Extenders or other devices. Network Extender is essential component in installations on larger yachts and vessels. It signicantly simplies installations
resulting in huge saving of Ethernet cables and labour.
NMEA0183 to LAN converter
It will convert any NMEA0183 data to TCP so you can receive it on your WIFI or LAN connected device. It is perfect solution in a combination with any Yacht Router as it will give you ability to
receive all NMEA data (depth, speed, wind etc.) inside your navigation software on your wireless or wired device. In a combination with Cloud Service, you will be able to receive NMEA data
remotely to check your boat position, wind speed, COG, SOG etc. NMEA0183 to LAN converter is compatible with every navigation software that can receive NMEA data over TCP protocol.
Touch Screen Controller
Touch Screen Controller is a dedicated device that will give you ability to setup Yacht router and easily control wireless networks and Internet connections on your vessel. It is embedded device
with the same level of functionality as control software that is used on a computer running Windows OS that control Yacht Routers with addition of several features regarding built-in upgrade and
software version control functionality.

CHAPTER 2 - INSTALLATION
2.3. INSTALLING ANTENNAS
Yacht Router Mini is equipped with ten mobile/WIFI antennas, 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 necesarry.
Mobile/WIFI antennas
To achieve best performance all antennas should be connected.
To signicantly increase performance and maximum offshore 3G/4G/5G mobile connectivity distance we strongly suggest installation of outdoor mobile antennas.
2.4. INSTALLING MOBILE OUTDOOR ANTENNAS
Yacht Router Mini is equipped with very sophisticated 3G/4G/5G modem featuring 4x4 MIMO antenna. To acheive best long distance offshore 3G/4G/5G mobile connectivity we strongly
suggest installation of outdoor antennas.
There are eight antennas connectors on the router. Each connectors is dedicated to antenna that will cover some mobile frequencies.
Mobile connectors antenna mapping:
