Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Nav-Tracker Global Tracking system for
your yacht. This guide will instruct the user how to use the basic functions of the system.
Before proceeding, please make sure that your antenna has been activated and you have
received a login name and password from Paradox Marine. If this has not been done,
please contact your dealer for the paperwork to activate your antenna with Paradox
Marine.
Getting Started
The two primary components to the Nav-Tracker system are the control unit and
antenna (Figure 1). The control unit supplies constant power to the antenna and controls
the Disarm/Arm State. It is usually mounted underneath your helm or in a similar secure
location. The antenna is the device that tracks your vessel globally over the inmarsat
network. The once daily position reports are sent out from this unit as well as geofence
and alarm messages (when applicable). It is mounted at a relatively high point on your
vessel with a clear view of the sky.
Figure 1
The geofence is a 500ft diameter circle that surrounds your vessel when armed.
Should your vessel move outside this 500ft circle, it will begin sending out coordinates,
speed, and direction every fifteen minutes. It will do this until the geofence is turned off
or the vessel is returned back within the initial area. Reference Figures 2 and 3 below to
see an example of the geofence operation.
