2 Rethink the Pilot Plug The best Pilot Plug adapter at an attractive price After over two years joint development with German pilots, including extensive evaluation of prototypes (beta tests on ships, simulation for optimisation of the rate of turn (ROT) etc.), we can now proudly claim that we have constructed the best Pilot Plug adapter. Designed, developed and made in Germany Since 2011, TRENZ in Bremen, Germany has equipped all German pilots with a Pilot Information Service (PIA). The PIA system was developed in close collaboration with pilots and under realistic conditions to cater precisely to their requirements. At the same time, TRENZ helps provide pilots with Pilot Plug connectors, which are critical to their workflow, by acting as a reseller. Pilot Plugs are available in a broad price range; all devices have their advantages and disadvantages. However, through dialogues with those concerned, we know that no device available on the market sufficiently fulfils the high standards demanded by pilots. Criticisms expressed are, amongst other concerns: Limited wireless range Connection terminations Poor battery lifespan and capacity Damages due to poor material quality Missing configuration options Limited service provided by manufacturers Our offering achieves at least the performance data of the current best devices on the market, but in fact exceeds them in most features while maintaining at a highly attractive price. 2

3 The TRENZ Pilot Plug offers: TOP FEATURES High range with WiFi and Bluetooth (Triple E class tested) Low weight with very small dimensions (180g, 125mm x 72mm x 27mm) Full personalisation and customisation; can be calibrated locally and updated Sensors: acceleration sensor, gyroscopic sensor and magnetic sensor, including rate of turn (ROT) with high accuracy with slow rotations and heading A-GPS receiver supports global positioning standards Multi-client capable for several PPUs and simultaneous operation of WiFi and Bluetooth Easy software updates Compatible with all piloting solutions (SeaIQ, OrcaG2, Transas-Pilot, Qastor,...) Convenient features In addition, the device offers convenient features such as: Dual USB Type C connectors for charging and AIS data Magnet on the rear side of the housing Buzzer (sounds when the connection is terminated), to keep you from accidentally leaving the Pilot Plug behind Hardware polarity correction Clever design with joystick operation Micro SD card slot exporting data streams 3

4 Technical data Connectivity WIFI Completely configurable Low-power mode with intelligent automatic feature Standard: WIFI b/g/n Transmission power: up to 17 dbm Up to 32 clients can be simultaneously connected BLUETOOTH Bluetooth 4.2 module with 12 dbm transmission power and a -96 dbm high reception strength Bluetooth Standard 2.0 to 4.2 guarantees high compatibility to PPUs Automatic reconnect through the Bluetooth module to clients configurable Multi-client functionality Our own antenna design ensures a reliable connection and high radius of action Coexistence mode retains a reliable connection even with many other wireless network devices USB Two USB Type C connectors the new standard for mobile devices Anti-rotation feature and easy to lock in place no fiddling or rotating required AIS data and charging function possible via both connections Sensors RATE OF TURN Axis drift-compensated 9-axis sensor (gyroscope, acceleration sensor, magnetic sensor) Highly accurate and reliable rate of turn signal, even with slow rotations Multiple calibration presets GPS Internal (and optional external) antenna for precise and fast positioning Many standards for global positioning (GPS, GLONASS, BEIDOU and GALILEO) Extremely fast GPS, typical warm start time between 1 and 15 seconds A-GPS (assisted GPS) and D-GPS (differential GPS) are supported Data stream logger Standards: WAAS, EGNOS, SBAS, GAGAN AIS IMPLEMENTATION The integrated hardware wiring guarantees the reliable and user-friendly polarity detection of the AIS signal 4

5 Battery and memory BATTERY 4,000 mah lithium-ion battery with voltage monitoring and battery charge indicator Up to 60 hours running time with active connectivity (Bluetooth and AIS reception) Charging possible while in use MEMORY Internal MicroSD card slot Recording of data streams (AIS, ROT, battery status, GPS position, connectivity) Operation, display & signal OPERATION User configurable 2-axis joystick with push button in order to control the functions DISPLAY 4 user-configurable colourised LEDs 3 LED s to indicate power and charging status SIGNAL An integrated buzzer can be enabled for different applications, for example in order to acoustically signal disconnection of the device Dimensions, weight and certifications DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT Dimensions 108mm x 69mm x 20mm (L x W x H) Weight approx. 180g CERTIFICATIONS 5

6 Customisation options The TRENZ Pilot Plug is immediately ready for operation, however, you have many options to personalize and customise the device: Configuration via app The Pilot Plug configuration app is available for ios, Android and Windows It allows the user to download configuration profiles from the online database Those profiles can be previewed and then applied to a connected Pilot Plug via WiFi Sensors such as GPS or Rate of turn can be toggled on or off Configuration via website ACTIVATION The user enters their serial number and can thus activate the device for themselves and manage it immediately via app and website functions. One-time registration is required for activation. CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW Any number of configurations can be created and processed per device. In the overview, a default configuration can be selected. This configuration is pushed from the app to the device. CONFIGURATION SCREEN This allows you to set individual values, which are later applied on the device. Register your Pilot Plug: 6
