BM-1 Bluetooth Battery Monitor
BM-1 Bluetooth battery monitor BM-1 (BT) Bluetooth Battery Monitor for Android*
When you need a battery monitor but don’t have space for the display or routing the cables would be a nightmare, there is now a solution. The BM-1(BT) will monitor your boat or caravan’s lead-acid batteries and transmit the data directly to your mobile phone, or tablet, wirelessly by bluetooth.
A simple Android app, freely available from the Google Play Store, (requires Android V4.3 or later) shows your service battery voltage, current flowing in or out, state of charge and time to charge or discharge the battery. An audible alarm warns if the battery level gets dangerously low. It will also show the starter battery voltage.
For Apple users a more sophisticated app, with additional features can be purchased from the Apple app store. Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Offers Apple Watch App for iPhone. (Requires iOS 9.0 or later)
The monitor, which draws a meagre 2 mA, is supplied with a 100 amp shunt and a pre-made cable assembly to simplify connection to your service battery.
Android app – Google Play Store
*Optional Apple app at €9.99 – Apple app store

H Vector Navtex Antenna
Conventional navtex antennas respond to the electrical component associated with the navtex radio signal. They usually perform well at sea where electrical interference is low but can sometimes be overwhelmed with interference especially when in harbour and connected to shore power.
In most small craft the electrical system acts as an effective ground for the antenna but it can also be a source of interference conducted from other electrical equipment on board. Electrical interference can result in poor reception especially in a marina where the ambient level is high or at sea when poorly suppressed electrical equipment is in use.
The omnidirectional H-Vector antenna is not sensitive to electric fields but to the magnetic component of the navtex signal. As a result it is less sensitive to locally generated interference and, as it does not need a ground, it is not affected by conducted ground interference whether in harbour or at sea.
The net result is that, under adverse conditions, the H-Vector antenna can deliver a significant improvement to navtex reception. The mushroom shaped antenna is compatible with the Clipper navtex, series 2 Target navtex and with the navtex engine. It can be mounted on a cabin roof or rail mounted using an appropriate threaded antenna base.
Clipper Wireless Wind
The Clipper wireless wind is supplied with a wireless masthead transmitter, a base unit and a Clipper Wind display unit. The wireless masthead transmitter is powered by an internal battery which is charged from ambient light using a small solar panel. A few dull days will not affect performance. When fully charged, it is capable of two thousand hours of full operation in total darkness. The masthead transmitter sends data wirelessly to the base unit, which is powered by the vessel’s 12 Volt supply, the base unit receives wind speed and direction data from the masthead transmitter and sends it to the Clipper Wind display or any other compatible NMEA display unit.
The Clipper Wind display is in the industry standard 110mm square case. Exceptionally large and clear display with 60 segments for full 360 degree direction indication.
- Wireless wind speed and direction data to any compatible NMEA display
- Easy installation with mast in place – no wires to run down
- Simple masthead alignment through base unit
- Light mast unit weight – 190 grams
