    1. General features Maximo is an electronic control system capable of controlling the left and right engines, the bow and stern thrusters, anchor winches and any accessories of any boat in a simple and intuitive way. The system consists of a receiver and a transmitter for remote control. There are three transmitter models available: with keys, with levers or with Joystick.

    2. Installation and connection 2.1. Installation of the receiver The receiver MUST be installed away from devices capable of electromagnetic interference fields for the radio signal emitted by the transmitter (for example: UHF transmitters, inverters or electric power cables, etc.). Also avoid installations where the ambient temperature can exceed 50 ° C. It is therefore forbidden to install the receiver in the engine room as this environment is subject to environmental disturbances and significant temperature changes.
