Thesensorsarewirelessradiode-
viceswithIP20casethatcommuni-
catewiththeMyBoat
control unit using 868 Mhz radio
frequency.Theyarettedwith3V
CR2 batteries guaranteeing their
operation for about 1 year (*). With
the MyBoat app, you can monitor
the state of the batteries of the
individual sensors, to foresee their
replacement.
The sensors integrate the anti-tam-
pering function and can be 3 types:
• magnetic for access control
• level for bilge control
• with“faston”connectorsand
fuse to control the battery volt-
age.

by metal structures. If this is not
possible,anoptionalexternalanten-
nawith3mcable(codeA-GPS)is
available.
