Description
The Actisense USG-2 turns a PC USB port into a bi-directional serial port suitable for connecting to a marine standard NMEA 0183 data bus. It provides a far safer connection than an ordinary USB-to-serial converter, using an OPTO-isolated input and an ISO-Drive isolated output to keep the PC and the boat's electronics electrically separate and free from the ground loops that damage connected equipment.
The isolated input uses Actisense OPTO-isolation circuitry to protect connected devices and can receive the very low level signals that a standard PC serial port often cannot. Fully NMEA 0183, RS422 and RS232 compatible, the USG-2 supports baud rates from 300 to 230400 bps, and its encapsulated, potted electronics give a high level of water and ingress protection.
A high quality shielded USB lead is included, mating with a high-retention USB socket for a secure, water-resistant connection, and a pluggable screwless connector with locking latch makes the NMEA side quick to wire. Three LEDs confirm power and data activity, and the unit mounts to a bulkhead with an optional DIN rail kit available.
