Astel Marine Lighting and Remote Yacht Controllers
Remote Controllers
Every skipper or owner of a watercraft has encountered the problem of
manoeuvring the vessel during docking in a marina or anchoring. Poor
communication with other members of the crew may cause difficulties
leading to damage of his own or other vessels, and, in the worst case,
to bodily injuries. Thanks to the wireless remote control system for
motor yachts, such problems are now a thing of the past.
With the use of the remote control device the skipper has control over his vessel from any spot on the yacht. High-quality switches and keys are used to control both engines, the bow and the stern thrusters as well as the anchor windlass during anchoring. The remote control unit is encased in an ergonomically designed, watertight housing ensuring simple operation and portability.
During anchoring, complete control of the vessel is possible from the bow, which allows the skipper to precisely determine the position of the anchor and avoid any underwater obstacles. During the weighing of the anchor, proper manoeuvring of the vessel is possible right from its bow, thus avoiding any overloads on the anchor windlass and possible entanglement with another anchor.
This remote control device comes in three versions. Version MYW868B/CP-3 controls the vessel’s engines and anchor windlass; version MYW868B/CP-4 controls the vessel’s engines, anchor windlass and bow thruster; and version MYW868B/CP-5, in addition to engine and bow thruster control, also features stern thruster control.
Lighting and Underwater Lighting
The new ASTRA series of compact LED lights designed with 1, 3 and 6
high-power LEDs with electronic driver is built-in waterproof anodized
aluminium casing for surface mounting. Innovative electronic design with
built-in microprocessor enables network connections and remote control
with digital dimming. Advanced optical system with reflector and
holographic diffuser allows perfect light spread.
The INTENSA series of compact LED lights feature multi-color RGBW compact LED light with built-in driver is designed by using 6 high-power LEDs to offer the best illumination quality of different white lighting (CRI 97) and microprocessor-controlled changing of white and all other colors of lighting manually or automatically through the complete rainbow spectrum.
The ARCUS series is a very innovative multi-color RGB LED light
built-in waterproof stainless steel casing with different front shapes
and lighting angles. It is suitable for using as interior and exterior
downlight and step or staircase light. The most advanced electronic
design with built-in microprocessor enables network connection and
simple control of complete group of the lights. The ARCUS series is
designed to light to floor under the angle of 45 degrees or straight.
The main feature is that ARCUS allows changing of the color of lighting
manually or automatically through the complete rainbow spectrum.
Astel Underwater Lights
The EQUATOR series is a new and world’s first compact ultra-thin LED underwater light with built-in driver. The main feature is that it can be installed on the stern and both sides of the hull under waterline. The thickness is only 9 mm and to install the EQUATOR the max. diameter of the hole through the hull is 8 mm.The light is already patented and design is registered at the Office of Harmonization for the Internal Market (OHIM). The newest multi-color version of EQUATOR series allows changing the color of lighting manually or automatically through the complete rainbow spectrum. The most advanced electronic design with built-in microprocessor enables network connection and simple control of complete group of lights with dimming.
The CONUS series slope-truncated cone designed underwater lights using high-power LEDs can be installed under water line on the stern of the hull of the yacht. By the help of slope-truncated cone designed casing the CONUS can be installed on the hull to light in different directions. The CONUS is the only underwater light which can be positioned to lights to the sea ground that can be very welcome when anchoring and docking in clear and low waters. The design is registered at the Office of Harmonization for the Internal Market (OHIM).
The CONVEX series underwater LED lights is designed for standard surface-mount or thru-hull installation on the stern of the hull. The surface-mount and thru-hull designed casings enable very simple installation on the hull under water line with only few screws and without making any bigger holes through the hull under water line.
The PLAQUE series underwater LED lights is designed for flush-mount installation where the most important are low-profile casings to avoid high water resistance and quality materials to assure very reliability installation and operation.
