In the world of superyacht operations, the importance of reliable and safe anchoring cannot be overstated. The recent launch of AnchorGuardian (AGU) has sparked a wave of questions among superyacht captains eager to adopt this technological novelty. This blog post will address some of the most common inquiries regarding the compatibility and performance of AnchorGuardian, helping you understand how this innovative solution integrates seamlessly into your existing anchoring system.

Do I Require a Specific Type of Anchor, Chain, or Swivel to Use AnchorGuardian

One of the most common questions we receive is about the compatibility of AnchorGuardian with different types of anchors and chains. The good news is that AnchorGuardian is designed to work with any type of anchor or chain, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of superyachts.

Our solution includes an integrated class-certified swivel that replaces your existing/planned one. This swivel is crafted from duplex steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion—significantly more so than the widely used 316L stainless steel. This means that not only does AnchorGuardian fit seamlessly into your current setup, but it also enhances the durability and performance of your overall anchoring system.

How Is the Anchor Module Charged, and How Long Does the Battery Last

Another critical aspect of AnchorGuardian’s functionality is its power management. The anchor module is equipped with a wireless charging module that charges inductively when the anchor is stowed. This cutting-edge proprietary technology ensures that the charging process is both efficient and unobtrusive.

Once fully charged, the anchor module has an operational battery life of around 48 hours. However, to extend the battery’s longevity, the module also features a sleep mode, which conserves energy when the system is not in active use. This balance between performance and power efficiency is designed to meet the demands of extended yachting trips, providing peace of mind that your anchor monitoring system will remain operational when you need it most.

What Are the Voltage Requirements for the Charging Module

The charging module for AnchorGuardian is designed with flexibility in mind, accommodating different power setups commonly found on superyachts. It can be connected to either a 230Vac or 24Vdc power source, with a maximum power consumption of just 500 watts. This low power requirement ensures that integrating the charging module into your yacht’s existing electrical system is straightforward and does not impose a significant load on your power resources.

AnchorGuardian is a comprehensive anchor monitoring solution that is compatible with a wide range of anchoring arrangements, offering advanced features like wireless charging and power-efficient operation. Whether you’re concerned about anchor compatibility or the durability of your anchoring system, AnchorGuardian is designed to meet and exceed your expectations, providing a robust, reliable, and intelligent solution for safe and secure anchoring.
