IMPORTANT TO KNOW
YS PRO collects real-time data from your boat and relays it via 3G/4G. During app activation you
will be asked to choose a 3G/4G subscription depending on your geographic location.
Price and detail of each subscription is shown page 27.
YS PRO can also be connected to a large number of wireless accessories. These accessories can
be added during installation or later. YS PRO is programmed to run only Yacht Sentinel© acces-
sories. List of accessories is shown page 20.
YS PRO can be powered by 12V, 24V or 48V. In case YS Pro is disconnected from the main bat-
tery, its internal battery lasts 24 to 48h.
When the boat is not in use, YS PRO has a low power consumption while monitoring 24/7:
• up to 2 battery banks
• integrated alarms
• up to 3 voltage detectors.
• all the wireless accessories
YS PRO has an internal relay to remotely update NMEA 2000 data on the app.
Please refer to page 23 for more details about the battery consumption.
When the boat is in use, YS PRO sends up to 5,000 messages/day to ensure a precise monitor-
ing.

GETTING STARTED
Before starting installation, make sure that you have all the included materials with you.
We recommend YS PRO to be installed in a covered area (in a cabinet if possible) where you can
have access to NMEA 2000 and to the distribution board. The screen will help you during set-up.
YS PRO is in “shipping mode” to save battery before its rst activation. The device will be activat-
ed when wired to a boat battery.
Internal GPS requires automatic calibration at the rst activation. No manual conguration is re-
quired, this operation may take a few hours.
All the connectors should be hand tightened. Do not use a tool to tight the connectors.

ATTACH YS PRO TO YOUR BOAT
We recommend that YS PRO is installed in a covered area (in a cabinet if possible) where you
can have access to NMEA 2000 and to the distribution board. Use the 4 included screws to attach
the YS PRO vertically as below. Make sure to leave enough space at the top (12cm / 5inch) for
the antennas and at the bottom (10cm / 4inch) for the cables.
ENGLISH

12
CONNECT THE CENTRAL UNIT TO NMEA 2000
We recommend connecting YS PRO to NMEA
2000. No manual set-up is required, It will automati-
cally identify the different NMEA sources and auto-
scale the information on the app.
Please refer to page 25 for the list of collected data.
CONNECT TO OTHER CAN BUSES (OPTION)
In addition to NMEA 2000, YS PRO is able to collect
data from a voltage detector or from four other proto-
cols: CAN Open, J1939, Ethernet and Modbus.
IMPORTANT: All protocols (including NMEA 2000) will
have to be registered later on the boat monitoring
menu. Please refer to the YS PRO menu page 18.

13
VOLTAGE DETECTOR SET-UP
The voltage detector is used to detect the voltage of electric devices such as bilge pumps, gener-
ators, water makers or engines. Voltage detection allows users to visualize 24/7 if the equipment
is on or off, how long it has been used, and noties you when maintenance is due.
Connect the red cable to the voltage detection and the black cable to the ground (battery (-)).
The connection will have to be registered later on the boat monitoring menu, Please refer to the
YS PRO menu page 18.
ETHERNET SET-UP
A water resistant ethernet mounting is provided to protect it from harsh environments.

POWER CONFIGURATION
The power cable is composed of 5 wires: black / red / white / green / yellow. YS PRO must be
wired to your main battery. Other congurations are optional, depending on the needs of you and
your boat. Please refer to the power diagram page 15.
1. Connect to main battery (required)
Plug the black and the red cable into your main battery. YS PRO average consumption stays un-
der 0,3W in low consumption mode. Main battery monitoring is available 24/7.
Find more information about the battery consumption page 23.
2. Monitor a second battery (option)
The white cable will allow you to monitor a second battery. No additional power consumption will
be drawn. Second battery monitoring is available 24/7.
3. NMEA 2000 Relay (option)
The NMEA instruments are usually powered down while the boat is not in navigation. To allow YS
PRO to collect data when away from your boat, the integrated relay has the ability to power the
NMEA from the user app. After 5 minutes of operation, the YS PRO will turn off the relay.
Please refer to the relay characteristics section page 15 for installation.
WARNING: The relay shall be installed by a trained and qualied installer.
