“The brand’s drive-by-wire engine control systems pair effortlessly with our plug-and-play remote controls combining to give our customers incredible power and control over their vessels in tight quarter maneuvering.”īased in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Dockmate manufactures the latest in advanced, yet very affordable wireless remote-control technology. “Our focus on creating a stress-free docking experience is perfectly aligned with Volvo’s ‘easy boating’ philosophy,” said Brian Sheehan, Dockmate U.S. Building on its highly successful partnership, the Dockmate system is now approved to integrate fluidly with Volvo’s complete line of drive-by-wire steering systems such as the Volvo Inboard Performance Systems (IPS), Aquamatic and Inboard systems. Dockmate is the only wireless control manufacturer that has authorization to do so.ĭelivering plug-and-play connectivity with engine and thruster systems, Dockmate’s wireless remote control allows users to remain in command of their boat’s movement while away from the helm, where visibility is often limited. After extensive testing for any potential compatibility issues, Dockmate has obtained approval to connect to the Volvo Penta electronic vessel control EVC-E and EVC-2. “The Dockmate system is an effective slow-speed maneuvering system, and our receivers give customers the most affordable and reliable solution available.”įor more information please visit of Wireless Yacht Remote Controls Now Compatible with Volvo’s EVC Gatewayįort Lauderdale, Fla. – Dockmate, manufacturer of advanced wireless remote controls for yachts, announced today it has received official factory approval from Volvo Penta. “We design our products to be the safest remote control systems on the market,” said Brian Sheehan, Dockmate U.S. 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 maneuver the vessel. New Dockmate Interfaces for Volvo Penta joysticks & TJS Gatewayĭockmate 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. These new wireless interfaces use the exact same communication protocol as the receiver and remote controls. 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 engine and thruster controls. – Dockmate®, manufacturer of wireless remote controls for yachts, announced its next generation of receivers that are built with advanced hardware and communication features.
