About YS PRO
What is YS PRO ?
YS PRO combines a boat security system, Wi-Fi hotspot, digital switching technology and big data analytics. YS Pro can collect any data from Ethernet, Modbus, NMEA2000, J1939 and 2 other CAN buses. An internal relay allows users to remotely turn on NMEA 2000 or other CAN buses for a short period of time, even when they are turned off, to collect data and update the app.
Internal alarms include geofencing, battery, tilt, temperature and G-shock alarms. Each alert received includes boat name, date and map where they occurred.
YS Pro includes a high-end touch screen for ease of use and setup. It is super easy to enter a code to arm/disarm the system or check its status (armed/disarmed/pairing mode), connections (4G, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee), names/types of sensors paired, sensors battery level or to simply scan a QR code to connect to Wi-Fi.
A large variety of wireless sensors can easily be paired to YS Pro. These sensors are then automatically added to the end-user app, which auto-scale based on the number of sensors paired and the type of data received.
Who is it for?
YS PRO can be installed on any boat or any size. It is aimed at all boat users, shipyards and boat rental companies wishing to benefit from an innovative technology on board. YS PRO has been designed to meet the needs of individual boat owners or professionals, including marina operators, boat rental/charter companies. Its price, ease of installation, power consumption
(<0.3W) and multiple functions make it attractive to any boat owner, sail or power.

What data does YS Pro collect and send?
YS PRO only sends data when it has a 3G/4G signal. All data can be recorded for months and sent later if it is out of range. YS Pro collect 5 types of data:
1/ Internal YS Pro data
It includes internal alarms (geofencing, battery, tilt, temperature and G-shock alarms), 3G/4G & GPS signal strength and Wi-Fi statistics and settings. These data are collected and sent 24/7.
2/ Data from power cable and voltage detector cable(s)
YS Pro power cable can monitor the voltage of up to 3 batteries. Alarms can be configured if the voltage in any of these 3 batteries drop below a pre-set level. Each voltage detector cable can detect if the electric appliance it is wired to (typically bilge pump, water maker, generator or engine) is in use or not. Statistics about past usage is then shown on the app and can be used for maintenance purposes. These data are collected and sent 24/7.
3/ Data from optional wireless sensors
Any triggers from a sensor would result in an alarm being sent by YS Pro to the app (and the Partner Platform if applicable). YS Pro also collects the Zigbee signal strength and the battery level of each sensor multiple times per day. These data are collected and sent 24/7.
4/ Data from NMEA 2000 or other CAN bus
If connected to a CAN bus (NMEA 2000, CANOPEN, J1939), YS Pro collects any data from the bus when the bus is turned on. It includes:
– Engine data
– Battery data
– Temperature and humidity data
– Fluid levels data
– GPS coordinates, heading, ground & water speeds
– Wind force & direction, water depth
If the bus is turned off and YS Pro relay is connected to the NMEA network, users can click on the “update” button on the app, which will automatically turn on the CAN bus for a few minutes, collect the data and turn the CAN bus off.
5/ Video footage from Sentinel Cam 2
If a sim card is inserted in YS Pro, YS Pro can act as a Wi-Fi router and send a short video to the app if Sentinel Cam 2 detects an intrusion.
How is YS Pro powered?
YS PRO can be connected to 12V, 24V or even 48V. In case YS Pro is disconnected from the main battery, its internal battery lasts 24 to 48h.
YS PRO can monitor two separate battery banks and remotely turn on/off the NMEA 2000 network via its internal relay.
The power cable is equipped with 5 smaller cables: black / red / white / green / yellow. YS PRO requires it to be connected to your main battery, the others configurations are optional. (See user manual for set-up)
Required: Connect to main battery
Plug the black and the red cable to your main battery as the power diagram. YS PRO will keep a consumption under 0,3W in low consumption mode and will have a permanent monitoring of the battery.
Optional: Monitor a second battery
The white cable will allow you to monitor a second battery. No additional power consumption will be drawn. If a second battery isn’t monitored we recommend you to cut this wire short and cover it with electrical tape.
Optional: NMEA 2000 Relay
By plugging the green and yellow cable to the NMEA 2000 relay, you will be able to remotely turn on the NMEA 2000 for a few minutes when away to update the app. If you don’t use the relay, we recommend you cut the wires short and cover them with electrical tape.
Can I monitor multiple boats under the same account?
YS Pro and YS Pro app were specifically designed to easily monitor multiple boats at the same time, under a single account. Boats can easily be added or deleted by clicking on the top left menu > Settings > Boats.

What does YS Pro monitor?
YS PRO can monitor 24/7 two separate battery banks and remotely turn on/off the NMEA 2000 network via its internal relay.
The voltage detector cable is used to detect the voltage of an electric device via the distribution board, typically bilge pumps, generator, water maker or engine. Voltage detection allows users to visualize in the YS Pro app if this device is on or off, for how long it’s been used for the last 24h/since inception and to notify when maintenance is due if the maintenance settings have been filled in.
The central unit does not need any external sensors to operate. Key features included in YS Pro central unit include:
Boat Status
The most critical information about your boat can be monitored any time, from wherever you are in the world. Information includes battery voltage, temperature, speed, course and GPS coordinates.
Map
This feature allows you to view the exact position of your boat any time, and see where it’s been at any given time (“trips”).
Geofencing
A virtual perimeter can be set around your boat, so an alert is triggered if your boat moves outside of this preset area.
Battery alarm
An alert is triggered if the voltage of the boat’s battery falls below a pre-set voltage, or the internal battery integrated in the central unit starts running low.
Tilt Alarm
An alert is sent if the angle of the tilt becomes critical. 2 different types of tilt levels can be set – “At anchor” or “At sea”.
Shock Alarm
An alarm is triggered if a mild or severe shock is detected by the central unit, for example if your boat hit something or was hit by something. 2 different types of shock levels can be set – mild shocks and severe shocks.
Weather information
Available weather and tide information, based on the last known position of your boat, can be accessed any time.
Temperature alarm
The inbuilt temperature sensor will alert you of any increases or decreases in your set temperature limit
What is the warranty period for YS PRO?
