About Yacht Sentinel 

The Yacht Sentinel uses the very latest low consumption components to help you to monitor the safety 
and security of your vessel from wherever you are in the world. The device comprises of a GPS receiver, 
patch antenna, wireless GSM module, a LiPO back up battery, and 15 ports for attaching external inputs 
and outputs. 

The device is designed to be directly linked to a 12v or 24v power supply whilst drawing very little power 
from it, enabling the device to be attached for long periods of time without draining the boat battery. 

The Yacht Sentinel operates using a standard PAYG SIM which allows you to check your boat remotely. 
The phone number registered to the SIM is the contact number of the device, this is the number you 
should use to change the device settings and request status updates, as will be described in this user 
guide. 

In the UK we provide a low cost SIM card, but the Yacht Sentinel accepts any standard 2G SIM card so 
international users can buy a local SIM.  

Your device can communicate with up to three numbers pre-registered by the main user, sending alerts 
and alarms to these numbers to give you the best opportunity to respond in an emergency as well as to 
have full access to the number of enjoyable leisure features the device offers.
