IMPORTANT TO KNOW
YS PRO collects real-time data from your boat and share them via 3G/4G. During the installation,
you will be asked to choose a 3G/4G subscription depending on your geographic location.
The list of the subscriptions is given p27.
YS PRO can also be connected to a large number of additional sensors or accessories. These ac-
cessories are wireless and can be added during the installation or after. YS PRO is programmed
to run only Yacht Sentinel © accessories.
The list of the accessories is given p20.
YS PRO casing is waterproof and has an integrated battery to ensure the ability to send alerts in
any conditions. If the power is shut down, you will be alerted instantly.
YS PRO can be connected to 12V, 24V or even 48V.
While sailing and NMEA on, a high frequency data acquisition ensures precise monitoring. When
out of the boat, power and NMEA off, YS PRO enters in a super low consumption mode. Only ac-
cessories, batteries and power status are shared. However, YS PRO integrates a digital switch
feature allowing you to turn on NMEA 2000 for a brief instant from the app. Therefore, you will be
able to monitor the whole range of data anywhere at any time without impacting your electric con-
sumption.

GETTING STARTED
Before starting the installation, make sure that you have all the included materials with you.
Choose a spot where you will install your YS PRO. A wired connection to the distribution board
and NMEA is needed. The screen will help you during the conguration. After that, all the system
is monitored through the app, a direct access to the YS PRO after installation is therefore not nec-
essary. This is why we recommend if possible to install your YS PRO in your distribution cabinet.
The 4 screw slots will help you x the YS PRO on any surface.
Before its rst conguration, YS PRO is in a “shipping mode” to save battery. The device will be
activated when rst wired to a boat battery.
See p22 for more information about YS PRO modes.
