Electric connections
For proper functioning of weBBoat® Plus 5G, simply connect the antenna power
cable to a 9/30 Vdc source following the guidelines below.
Connect the red (positive) and the black wire (negative) coming out from the base of
weBBoat® Plus 5G to the battery through a twin lead power cable. The connection
can be made by soldering or with a crimp sleeve. It is advisable to have this
procedure carried out by a technician.
The power line which connects the two wires coming out from the base of
weBBoat® Plus 5G must have cables with a cross section of 1.5 mm² by a length
up to 10m, and 2.5 mm² for longer lengths. Minimum power supply voltage: 9
Vdc.
This unit is not protected against excessive current or short circuit. It is
recommended to use a 1amp fuse for protection purposes during installation.
NOTE: To prevent boat battery drain, we recommend attaching the weBBoat power
supply to a fuse panel that can be turned off when the unit is not in use.
The weBBoat® Plus 5G must be fixed to a mount by tightening the screw in
the weBBoat® Plus 5G base by means of a screwdriver (Fig. 3).
The installation of the weBBoat® Plus 5G near or above a flat metal surface may
result in significant reduction of the Wi-Fi and 3G/4G signal strength.
Do not mount the weBBoat® Plus 5G near metal obstructions that may interfere
with the Wi-Fi signal.
When using the weBBoat® Plus 5G on metal vessels, Wi-Fi signal can be very weak.
For this reason, it is necessary to use an access point (maximum of 16 APs can be
used) inside the vessel. These can be connected to an external network hub (optional)
which then connects to the router inside the weBBoat® Plus 5G radome via an Ethernet
cable (optional) using the LAN ports. WLAN port can be used to connect weBBoat® Plus
5G to the onboard satellite internet device/V-SAT.
