The ZigBoat™ app must be installed and the Gateway’s QR code must be scanned on each mobile device that wishes to receive notifications.

SMS notifications:

You can add up to 5 different GSM numbers to receive SMS notifications using the optional 3G Dongle.

Yes, you can ask for that if it is accepted as extra protection in your insurance policy.

No, you cannot. All sensors connected to the same Gateway must be installed to the same boat.

You will receive a push notification on your mobile device when an update is available.

No, the sensors are not waterproof and should be mounted inside to avoid damage.

The ZigBoat™ app uses the same language as your mobile device. To change the app language you need to change your mobile device operating system language.

No, unfortunately notifications are not customizable.

The Gateway should be placed in a central area on the boat to have better coverage conditions.

It is not recommended to install the Gateway in the engine room or in wet or damp places.

Yes, all push notifications are logged on your Gateway. You can read the last 100 notifications from the “Info” tab in your ZigBoat™ app. Your mobile device must be connected to the Gateway to read this list.

Minimum iOS 11 or higher is required

Minimum Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher is required

Unlimited.

The ZigBee^®sensors operate worldwide on the 2.4 GHz band.

No, you do not receive a notification when the battery of the sensor is low. Please read the LOW BATTERY section in the sensor’s manual.

The average battery life of a sensor is around 3 years under normal use.

Remember that the battery life can vary according to ambient conditions (high temperature, humidity, etc.).

The consumption of the Gateway is:

Without the 3G USB dongle (if using Wi-Fi for internet connection) 250 mA on 12V systems.

With the 3G USB dongle plugged in the Gateway (if using 3G for internet connection) 800 mA on 12V systems.

Yes, you can call +39 0544 1935902  during normal business hours between 08:30-12:30 and 13:30-17:30 (GMT +1) for any customer support issues.

The sensor probe must be located above the highest position of the bilge pump float switch.

Yes, it’s possible to install the sensors on GRP, metal, wood surfaces using the supplied 3M adhesive tape. For more permanent mounting, you can use screws. (not supplied)

Yes, you can but remember that you void the warranty when the cable is cut, or the probe is opened.

Normally not. It can be possible if the contacts inside the probe remain wet. In such case you can remove the sensor and let the probe dry in a ventilated area for a short period and then reinstall it for proper usage.

The engine oil is an insulator so it will not trigger the sensor.

Yes, they can be installed on steal doors. It does not cause any magnetic problems.

Yes, you can use door sensor for any storage locker. It is however suggested to install the sensor inside of the locker for better water resistance.

The Battery Sensor is set by default to 12V mode. To switch to 24V mode, please move the switch as indicated in the info sticker placed on the sensor.

No, the sensor is not damaged if you select the wrong voltage mode but it will not work until the right voltage selection is made.

Yes, you can download the app for iOS and Android devices for free.

Unfortunately no. Only Zigbee^®sensors customized by Glomex are compatible with ZigBoat™ due to the communication and interaction with the Zigboat app.

weBBoat 4G Plus is a 3G/4G/Wi-Fi Dual Sim integrated system for high speed and stable internet connection while you are on your boat.

weBBoat 4G Plus with its two high gain and wide bandwidth 4G antennas and two Wi-Fi antennas, receive the signals and redirect them boosted to the devices on board.

According the test result, the range is around 20 mile away from the coast. Remember that the signal quality and the strength are affected also by many factors like weather, distance, obstacles etc.

You can connect up to 32 devices to your weBBoat 4G Plus while the connection limit is between 3 to 5 devices at a time with cell phone internet sharing.

weBBoat 4G Plus uses Micro SIM card. If you have a smaller SIM card (Nano) than Micro card, you need to use a SIM adapter.

Absolutely no. weBBoat 4G Plus is a plug and play product. All you need is to power supply it and insert your SIM card. Then you are done.

weBBoat 4G Plus should be installed far away from metal obstacles that can affect the signal quality and at the highest point possible for best signal reception. Do not install the weBBoat 4G Plus on top of the masthead.

weBBoat 4G Plus is equipped by two SIM card slots to give you the possibility to have a backup plan while you are boating.

It is normal to have some signal losses with metal obstruction around. You can use Glomex access points (cod. ITAP001) on your metal boat to extend and amplify your Wi-Fi signals on board.

Yes it works worldwide for 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and there are two versions for cellular connection

• IT1004PLUS/EU for EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and South America market
• IT1004PLUS/US for North America market (US and Canada)

If you think you have the proper APN of your Internet Service Provider, you can always insert it by using the Custom APN button. If you still have problems please contact us at service@webboat.it for assistance.

It is highly recommended that you change the Wi-Fi network name and especially password for the network from Wi-Fi configuration page. Do not use spaces or special characters in the name of the Wi-Fi network (SSID) and password.

You do not have to do anything special. weBBoat 4G Plus can switch automatically from cellular connection to Wi-Fi or vice versa with its automatic switch function.

weBBoat 4G Plus has an integrated 1 Amp fuse against short circuits, but it is also suggested to make the power connection to an external fuse board for better protection.

You do not need to look for anything. When firmware update is available, it will appear a notification symbol at the top right corner on home screen of your app. Just push this symbol and follow the instruction on the app to perform the upgrade and wait for a few minutes for the restart.
