NMEA Data Multiplexer - NDC-4-A & NDC-4-A -USB

1. Five Opto-isolated inputs.
All inputs are of the differential opto-isolated type and
use the unique Actisense low current drain circuitry
(2mA @ 2.0v) to conform in full with the NMEA 0183
marine electronic device network communication
standard, and are exible enough to interface to most
fully and partially compliant devices.
2. Two ISO-Drive outputs.
The ISO-Drive outputs comprise of two connections:
‘+/A’ and ‘-/B‘ and conform in full to the NMEA 0183
standard.
3. RS232 compatible input/output option.
The ISO OUT 0 and OPTO IN 0 connections can
be used as a bi-directional RS232 compatible port
and is designed for direct connection to a Personal
Computer (PC) or other marine device capable of
interfacing to a standard RS232 port.
When a USB cable is powered and plugged into the
NDC-4, this port switches to output only - i.e. the
RS232 input (OPTO IN 0) no longer operates.
4. A USB input/output (NDC-4-A-USB Only).
The standard USB 1.1 port is designed for direct
connection to a PC’s USB port. Once the USB cable
is powered and plugged into the NDC-4, Port 0
switches to an output only mode - this allows the USB
port to take over bi-directional control of the NDC-4.
USB 2.0 is backwardly compatible with USB 1.1.
5. Battery supply input.
Standard battery power connections.
Note:
1. To complete the NMEA 0183 standard all device
interconnection NMEA cables used should meet the
two-conductor, shielded, twisted pair conguration
specication. The shield connection of these wires
should be connected at the instrument end only to
prevent ground loops.
2. Refer to the Specications section for the full details
on input/output specications.
