In other words, it can happen that a crane receiver does not get a clean signal due to some interferences, and the only logical behaviour that the engineers can program in these devices for handling this occurrence is that the crane does nothing at all and remains in the same status. But, there are no ways known to mankind to be always 100% sure that the received DOES understand the signal sent by the transmitter, and acts accordingly. This is the good news, and the reason why there are wireless devices rated for critical industrial applications: accidents due to the fact that a heavy crane operator sent a "lift" command with the transmitter, and the crane actually lowered its load instead, are unheard of. There are very safe ways to avoid the receiver doing something different from what the person with the transmitter meant to do - at least with a well designed device built with quality components and embedded redundancies, as the YC is. The compact Dockmate receiver measures 8.75 x 8.75 x 2.5-inches, allowing for discrete installation, is compatible with both 12- and 24-volt systems with power redundancy for added safety, and sports a modular construction for quick customization and installation of additional control modules.Click to expand.Just take this FWIW, but it's something I learnt from an engineer involved in the development of these devices for industrial applications - hence arguably even more critical than for pleasure boating. The transmitter will automatically shut down after 30 minutes of non-use to optimize the performance of its built-in rechargeable lithium polymer battery. The device now has an enhanced range of 150 feet (50 meters) and offers users visual and audible confirmation on the receiver’s status. The powerful, waterproof, floating transmitter’s two-way communication ensures faultless operation with a five-channel Frequency Hopping Spectrum System (FHSS), which is a wireless technology that spreads a signal over rapidly changing frequencies for uninterruptible transmissions. With our enhanced remote controls boaters can move around any vessel for better visibility when maneuvering and enjoy complete confidence in even the tightest of waterways.”Įach Dockmate system includes a rugged wireless, handheld transmitter with an easy-grip rubber finish, lanyard and wireless charger, as well as a plug-and-play receiver compatible with most brands of engines and thrusters. “After many years of building prototypes and extensive testing, we have developed a system that is highly-reliable, intuitive and most of all, affordable. “As yachtsmen with over 40 years of experience, we had searched for an affordable wireless remote-control system that would simplify the oftentimes difficult and stressful docking experience,” said Brian Sheehan, Dockmate U.S. Using the included software, installers can make adjustments to throttle, to ensure improved response time and boat handling to meet challenging docking conditions, such as high winds or strong currents.
A pocket-sized extension of a boat’s controls, Dockmate can mimic a compatible accessory’s response time and feel for a seamless user experience or be customized to meet the specific preferences of individual boaters.
