SMS Text Module - North America
Maretron's SMS200 is a cellular modem that offers text message notifications from your vessel’s NMEA 2000® network to your phone. The SMS200 works together with Maretron's dedicated displays – DSM Series Displays or N2KView® based software running on either the MBB Series Black Box, TSM Series Touchscreen Displays, or a PC, to define programmable alert conditions from sensors interconnected on an NMEA 2000® network. The DSM Displays or N2KView® software instructs the SMS200 to connect to the cellular network and transmit an alert message to selected telephone numbers. Whether it is high bilge water, low battery voltage, unplugged shore power, or an opened hatch or door, the SMS200 quickly alerts you to conditions on board your vessel that require attention anywhere you have cellular network coverage.
You can also send a text message to your vessel and, with the proper sensors installed, the SMS200 will respond with status information including the vessel’s position, bilge status, battery voltage, shore power voltage, wind speed, inside temperature, and outside temperature. Additionally, N2KView can be configured to respond to text messages with more complex sentences to allow you to query virtually any NMEA 2000 parameter. You can specify command strings and the text of the corresponding response messages with parameters that are replaced dynamically by their values when the response message is sent.
The SMS200 works with most LTE services in North America, Mexico, and the Caribbean (consult cellular service providers for coverage details).
