YACHT DEVICES YDAB-01N, is a multifunctional NMEA 2000 alarm unit that connects to an external 16 mm button (included) which has an LED indicator and to a standard 4 or 8 ohm speaker (optional ). It contains a 10W sound amplifier with 28 different sound signals (horn, alarm, whistle, tone signals, etc.).
Using a Wi-Fi router or Wi-Fi gateway, you can control the alarms from a mobile phone or from a PC, without using special software. Six alarms (out of 28) from the unit can be controlled from a modern chartplotter with CZone support (B&G, Simrad, Lowrance, Furuno, Raymarine Axiom, eS and gS). Four alarms can be controlled from buttons connected to a switch controller, YDSC-04. Two or more YDAB-01 in digital switch mode work synchronously with factory settings, which can be used on large boats. Just set unique switch bank numbers.
YDAB-01 can be configured for one of the following functions:
- MOB button (default) . Pressing the connected button for two seconds causes an alarm and an AIS MOB message to be sent (mimicking messages received from EPIRBs and MOB units with AIS capability), with current GPS position. It creates a MOB marker on a chartplotter. Press a second time to stop sending the alarm. ATTENTION! The message sent from the YDAB-01 is not broadcast externally via VHF or AIS, but only to other devices on the NMEA 2000 network.
- Digital Switch Alarm Unit. The device functions as a NMEA 2000 switch bank with 28 channels. Each channel has a unique sound and LED flash. The channels (and associated sounds) can be turned on/off from other equipment, including our smart sensors or from a plotter. The button connected to the device ends the alarm.
- Motor monitoring. In this mode, the device produces audible alarms following the engine alarms, which are transmitted via an engine gateway in the NMEA 2000 network. This is useful on boats where the instrumentation may need to be replaced, or to facilitate and amplify faults that have occurred. The device can also be programmed to create a sound at a specific temperature, engine speed, etc.
The YDAB-01 is available in two versions:
