2. Use of the system
The commands on the receiver are activated by the respective transmitter’s buttons. The
transmitter cyclically transfers the state of the buttons to the receiver.
The command will remain active as long as the corresponding button is pressed.
In case of communication failure between the transmitter and receiver, the receiver is
automatically deactivated, signaling the anomalous condition with an acoustic alarm signal.
IMPORTANT:
It is not possible to command
simultaneously
the same receiver from several
transmitters. In fact, the periodic transmissions of the radio controls would cause
interferences and improper activation of the commands.
ATTENTION:
The information for checking during operation can be viewed on Smartphone, PC etc.
through a Wi-Fi connection.
It is also visible on the new generation’s chartplotters.
The procedure for Wi-Fi connection with the receiver and the description of the menus
and all Maximo screens are contained in the installation manual of the receiver.
2.1. Warnings
DANGER:
•
MAXIMO should only be used by adults with all the qualifications necessary for the
proper operation and management of the boat.
•
The transmitter must always be secured outside the range of children on board.
•
During use, pay the maximum attention that the bow of the boat reproduced on the
front panel of the transmitter always coincides with that of the boat. If not, the
commands must be exactly the opposite of those desired.
WARNING:
•
Always use the transmitter in the range of action of the receiver. If you leave the
range, the transmitter will warn you by vibrating and the receiver will emit an
alarm tone. For safety, the receiver will interrupt the previous commands,
putting itself in safety mode. To resume the command, return to the range.
•
Also in the nearby presence of other Yacht Controller devices, operating at the
same time on adjacent boats, improper activations are not possible because the
transmitters continuously modify the communication frequency with the
receivers.
•
Never use the transmitter if you are not on board the boat which you are
commanding. Remember that the abandon of a vessel in Italy and in other
Countries is illegal and it is a punishable crime.
•
If the transmitter battery charge LED indicates that the battery is low, recharge
the transmitter as soon as possible.
The Wi-Fi network we use needs at least a 4G connection (preferably 5G) if it is tethered to a
smartphone. The same also applies if it is connected to an access point on the boat with a
SIM to connect to the cellular network. Otherwise if it is connected to the marina Wi-Fi it is
better to connect it not to the 2.4 GHz (which has only 11 channels with limited bandwidth) but
to the 5 GHz (which has more than 23 channels with extended bandwidth and more than 100
narrow-band channels).
