The new Slow Mode gives you just a little more control, exactly when you need it.”Įach Dockmate Receiver integrates the proprietary communications protocol DockLink – an infinitely superior, state-of-the-art two-way FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) communication with handshake and GFSK (FM) modulation on the 868 MHz frequency band in Europe. “The entire purpose of the Dockmate system is to provide the ultimate confidence in your manoeuvering skills.

“We are continuously working with engine and thruster control manufacturers to add new compatibilities and capabilities to our system and as engine manufacturers add functionality, we update our system to capitalise on this innovation,” said Dirk Illegems, president, Dockmate.
#DOCKMATE MANUFACTURER SOFTWARE#
Dockmate’s Slow Mode software option enables users to activate and deactivate the boat’s respective slow mode. Rexroth and MAN use trolling, Caterpillar’s SPM reduces the engine RPMs, and Volvo Penta’s Low Speed mode uses a combination of both. For most applications a yacht’s idle speed is easy to manage, but for manoeuvring in exceptionally crowded harbors, boats with powerful engines are often fitted with some kind of slow mode feature for greater control at low speeds. In addition, Dockmate has expanded support for its Slow Mode software option. This type of engine throttle control allows the user to increase the engine RPMs to have a greater and safer amount of control of the boat in a marina when there is current or wind and idle speed is simply not enough to properly manoeuver the vessel. The Dockmate Engine Universal Speed Control Interface also enables smooth, fully proportional and variable speed throttle control on a wide variety of analogue engine controls. These new wireless interfaces use the exact same communication protocol as the receiver and remote controls.Boortmeerbeek, Belgium – Dockmate ®, manufacturer of advanced wireless remote controls for yachts, announced today expanded compatibility and new functionality for select engines.ĭockmate has expanded its list of compatible engine controls to include MTU CAN bus, Yanmar VC20 (Yanmar’s newest CAN bus controls) and Twin Disc EC300 Digital Control Head (Twin Disc’s new CAN bus system) and when configured with an Analogue Engine Universal Speed Control Interface, Dockmate now supports Suzuki Precision Control.

This eliminates the need to install a cable between the main helm and flybridge, which can be time-consuming and sometimes challenging. In addition to advances in the Dockmate receiver, the company has also announced the release of two new wireless interfaces for connections with Volvo Penta joysticks and their TJS Gateway. In the unlikely event that the signal is lost, the Dockmate remote control transmitter will sound three alarms: audible (buzzer), visual (flashing light), and tactile (vibration). With two-way communication between the remote (transceiver) and the receiver, the Dockmate system ensures the operator is always aware of communication status. The Dockmate signal reaches up to 165-feet, which is by far the longest range in the industry and does not require an expensive range repeater on boats over 80-feet, like competitive products.

The FHSS rolling code changes six times per second over six different channels, virtually eliminating any possible chance of interference. FHSS means that every Dockmate uses a unique set of channels in the entire band of 72 channels, and changes from one frequency to another. Additionally, installation is made easier with four newly incorporated outside mounting slots.Įach receiver integrates the proprietary communications protocol DockLink – an infinitely superior, state-of-the-art two-way FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) communication with handshake and GFSK (FM) modulation on the 433 MHz frequency band in North America. The receiver is made completely of aluminum, waterproof to IP67 rating, and measures a mere 9-inches by 8-inches by 3-inches. The new Dockmate receiver includes a modernized look and rugged design that is fully compatible with all electronic engines and thruster controls. Dockmate®, manufacturer of wireless remote controls for yachts, announced today its next generation of receivers that are built with advanced hardware and communication features.
