EMC GUIDELINES
The guidelines given here describe the conditions
for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may
not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To
ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the
constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum
separation possible between dierent items of electrical equipment.
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever
possible:
FELL equipment and the cables connected to it are:
• At least 3 ft. (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables
carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas.
In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to
7 ft. (2 m).
• More than 7 ft. (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar
beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above
and below the radiating element.
• If possible the product is supplied from a separate battery
from that used for engine start. Power supply voltages below
the minimum specied 7V power source, and starter motor
transients, can cause the product to reset. This will not damage
the product, but may cause inability to start the engine.
• FELL specied cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these
cables can compromise EMC performance and must be
avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.

WARNING
Disconnect battery cables at battery before attempting to install
this product
Read all instructions carefully before use of this product.
FELL Marine equipment and accessories are designed to
the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine
environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the
appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations, but
correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not
compromised. Please see section EMC Installation Guidelines in the
User Manual for optimum EMC conditions.
CAUTION
Within the wireless range MOB+ will not shut down the engine
automatically e.g. if you fall in your boat within the wireless range the
engine will not stop automatically. In this event, you can shut down
the engine by pressing the button on your MOB+ xFOB or on the
MOB+ xHUB. Always check your wireless range before use.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
MAN OVER BOARD
MOB Mode (Man Overboard Mode) is the safety mode of the
system. MOB+ will automatically activate shut down of the engine
when the STOP FOB is submersed in 4 inches (10 cm) of water or
travels out of range from the xHUB. After 6 seconds, the system
automatically activates Override Mode. In Override Mode any
passenger or crew on board can restart the engine without the need
to interact with the MOB+ system. This allows for a quick recovery of
the missing person in the water and enhances safety.
ALARM FUNCTION: If any of the ALARM FOBs falls overboard
the xHUB will NOT stop the engine(s), but sound the MOB Alarm,
ashing on the xFOB Connection Indicator on the xHUB and blink
red in the light circle. The alarm continues until the STOP button on
the xHUB is pushed to disengage the alarm.
MOB EVENT RECONNECT: In an MOB event where the STOP FOB
falls overboard, the person returning from the water can reconnect
the xFOB by one click to disable MOB Mode, followed by one more
click on the xFOB to reconnect. Alternatively, remaining passengers
with an ALARM FOB can choose to connect one of their xFOBs.
OVERRIDE MODE
In the event that you forget your xFOB or if
it´s out of battery - don´t worry. You can easily
override MOB+ by holding the button on the
xHUB for 10 seconds. The xHUB will give a
sound signal and a yellow light signal every 30
seconds to indicate Override Mode is activated
so you can start the engine(s).
MOBP17003
MOBP17004
The xFOB is waterproof down to 10 ft./3m and can be reused after
MOB event. After an MOB-event, the engine can easily be restarted
by;
• dStart - 6 seconds after a MOB Event the system lets
passenger restart the engine to pick up the missing person in
the water. The engine can be started without reconnecting the
xFOB. No interaction with xHUB necessary.
• Reconnect with the xFOB by clicking once on the xFOB to
deactivate dStart and once more to connect.

dStart
™
dStart is the direct restart feature in the
MOB+ system. 6 seconds after an MOB event
with a STOP FOB, the MOB+ automatically
activates Override Mode to allow any remaining
passengers in the boat to restart the engine(s)
directly, without interacting with the system.
The Override Mode ashes yellow and gives a
sound feedback every 30 seconds.
MOBP17005
TIME-OUT FUNCTIONS
Connected: 20h Time-Out: The normal xFOB to xHUB
connection will automatically time-out after 20h and shut down
your engine(s). This is to prevent unnecessary battery drainage of
the xFOB battery. Click xFOB again to reconnect.
Override Mode: 8h Time-Out: Override Mode automatically times
out after 8h and shuts down your engine(s) to prevent engine start
if the boat is left unobserved.
MOB Mode: 2h Time-Out: MOB Mode automatically times out
after 2h shuts down your engine(s). This is to prevent engine
start if the boat is left unobserved after leaving the boat without
disconnecting the xFOB.

FAQs
• How can I override the system if the system fails or if I
have lost the xFOB?
-If the system fails use the End Cap Connector attached to the
main xHUB cable to mechanically override the system.
-If you have lost your xFOB press and hold the button on the
xHUB for 10 seconds to put the system in Override Mode.
• I already have an existing kill switch. Can I install MOB+?
-Yes. MOB+ is installed using wires from your existing kill
switch. Please see installation guide for instructions
• I have a boat made from metal. Can I install MOB+?
-Actual signal reduction, if any, will vary from boat to boat.
Should the signal be noticeably worse, we recommend
using an external antenna to put on the top side of the helm,
supplied from FELL Marine.
• Can passengers start the boat if I were to fall over board?
-Yes, this is one of the main features of MOB+. 6 seconds
after a MOB Event the system lets passenger restart the
engine to pick up the missing person in the water.

GENERAL USE AND INSTALLATION SECTION
INSTALLATION
The installation is simple and below you will
nd a quick guide. See next page for wiring
instructions.
1
For more information, visit our website
www.fellmarine.com/support
Place the xHUB with the
antenna at least
~ 10” / 30cm from other
electronics equipment
transmitting EMI. The
antenna should be in as
!
free space as possible, but
where necessary it can be
bent up to 45 degrees.

xFOB INITIAL PAIRING
After proper installation, pair the xFOB and the xHUB as
described below. The xHUB remembers the 20 last paired
xFOBs. Pairing saves the ID of xFOBs in the memory of the
xHUB. Pairing is only done the rst time you use an xFOB
2
with an xHUB. Remember, four xFOBs can be connected at
the same time. One as a STOP FOB, three as ALARM FOBs.
1
HOLD 3 SEC
Pairing is only necessary the rst time you
use your MOB+. Press and hold the button
on your xHUB.
BLUE LIGHT
Release the button when the xHUB starts
ashing blue and gives a sound signal
indicating Pairing Mode.
2
HOLD 3 SEC
Immediately after releasing the button on
the xHUB, press and hold the button on your
xFOB.
YOUR ENGINE
Connect the signal wires to the
existing kill switch wires and the
power wires to power.
IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE ENGINES: SEE BELOW
2-1/16” / 52MM HOLE
Drill a 2-1/16” / 52mm hole in a
suitable place adjacent to the
drivers position.
MOUNT xHUB
Insert the xHUB to the predrilled hole and tighten the nut.
Do not push with
force on the button
when inserting the
xHUB. This may cause
damage to the device.
CABLE & ANTENNA
Connect the cables and the
antenna to the xHUB.
GREEN LIGHT
The xHUB will give a sound signal and a
green light to indicate a successful pairing.
INSTALLING MOB+ IN A METAL BOAT
If your helm is made out of conducting materials the wireless signals
from MOB+ may be degraded. The amount of signal degradation
experienced may vary from across boats and must be tested for each
case. If the signal is very poor you can install a separate external
antenna outside of your helm to increase the signal strength. Go to
www.fellmarine.com for more information.
DRILLING THE HOLE
The xHUB measures:
Ø=51,5mm / 2.03 in
Drill a 52mm / 2-1/16” hole
Be sure not to drill through any existing cables
or equipment mounted or situated on the
backside of your intended xHUB position!
MOBP17013
IMPORTANT
We recommend that the installation of the MOB+
in your boat is performed by skilled personnel
familiar with electric wiring, or by a professional
mechanic or electrician. This is to prevent any
malfunction of the device related to installation.
MARCH 2018 REV200-0318
xFOB BATTERY
xHUB will indicate low battery on the xFOB by
blinking the light bar respective to the connected
xFOB. Change the battery within 15 hours when
the light bar blinks. FELL recommends using
Panasonic or Sony CR2032 coin cell batteries.
