The receiver is made completely of aluminum, waterproof to IP67 rating and measures a mere 9-inches by 8-inches by 3-inches. Additionally, installation is made easier with four newly-incorporated outside mounting slots.Įach receiver integrates the proprietary communications protocol DockLink – a 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. 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.

The FHSS rolling code changes six times per second over six different channels, virtually eliminating any possible chance of interference. The Dockmate signal reaches up to 165-feet. With two-way communication between the remote (transceiver) and the receiver, the Dockmate system ensures the operator is always aware of communication status.
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). 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.

This eliminates the need to install a cable between the main helm and flybridge, which can be time-consuming and sometimes challenging. These new wireless interfaces use the exact same communication protocol as the receiver and remote controls.ĭockmate has also recently developed an Engine Universal Speed Control Interface which enables smooth, fully-proportional and variable-speed throttle control on a wide variety of analog engine controls. There is also an automatic shut off after 30 minutes of non-use.This type of engine throttle control allows the user to increase the engine RPMs to have a greater and safer amount control of the boat in a marina when there is current or wind and idle speed is simply not enough to properly maneuver the vessel. If the Single and Twin transmitters somehow slip out of your hands, then all systems immediately drop to neutral. Operation is easy, accurate, safe and reliable, and can be done from any location aboard the boat. The system can be extended modularly to also control the bow thruster, stern thruster and windlass. In our most simple configuration, the Single and Twin transmitters send a coded digital signal to the receiver which operates the engine(s) and horn. They are only the size of an iPhone and have a very simple, clear layout. Our Single and Twin transmitters, preferably worn with the included neck strap, are completely waterproof and float. The Dockmate® Single and Twin offer a wireless extension of the above controls with the exact same feeling and response time!Īll boats with electronic engine controls can be equipped with the Dockmate® system, regardless of the length or type of the boat. 3 Year Manufacturer's Warranty and 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee.You can flawlessly operate with the tips of your fingers. The Twist transmitter can be recharged wirelessly! The receiver is mounted behind the dashboard and measures about 8.75” x 8.75.” Each Dockmate® system is unique and will not be disturbed by any other Dockmate®. The Dockmate® signal reaches up to 150 feet (50 meters). There is also an automatic shut off after 30 minutes of non-use.
