Actisense USG-2 Isolated USB To Serial Gateway For Use w/NMEA0183, RS422 and RS232 [USG-2]

USG-2 Isolated USB To Serial Gateway For Use w/NMEA0183, RS422 And RS232The USG-2 ensures safety and reliability when connecting a PC to your NMEA 0183 network.The USG-2 converts a 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 when compared to standard USB to serial converters.Electrical isolation is provided by the ISO-Drive output and OPTO-isolated input making installation simple and free from ground loops.The input uses the Actisense OPTO-isolation circuitry to protect any connected equipment from the most common system faults. The input can receive very low-level signals that are often too small to be received by a PC serial port.The USG-2 is the safest way to connect a boats data network to an on-board PC.Features:NMEA 0183, RS422 & RS232 compatibleISO-Drive technologyPluggable screwless connector with locking latch & strain reliefEncapsulated electronicsHigh retention USB socketDiagnostic & power LEDsBaud rates from 300 to 230400 bpsBulkhead mount, with optional DIN rail mount kitPluggable screwless connectorInputs & outputs protected against over voltage, ESD & short circuitsSimple installationProtects PC from damageEliminates ground loopsTechnical Specifications:Power Supply (USB)Power Source – Bus poweredMaximum Bus Current – 50mANMEA 0183 Port Talker & Listener Number of Listener/Input Ports – One isolated NMEA 0183 ListenerNumber of Talker/Output ports – One isolated NMEA 0183 TalkerCompatibility – Fully NMEA 0183, RS422 & RS232 compatible.
