PRO-MUX-2 Professional NMEA 0183 Intelligent Multiplexer
Eight OPTO-isolated inputs and six ISO-Drive™isolated outputs. Offering device protection and excellent flexibility, all in one product.
Actisense introduces the Actisense® PRO-MUX-2, the intelligent, type-approved PRO range multiplexer.
The PRO-MUX-2 is rugged, with a stainless steel housing, and isolates all inputs and outputs. With eight NMEA 0183 inputs, six NMEA 0183 outputs, a bi-directional serial port and an Ethernet port, the PRO-MUX-2 is a perfect solution for larger leisure vessels and commercial shipping. It is an excellent addition for systems that require type-approved devices.
Due to its design, the PRO-MUX-2 will suit the majority of NMEA 0183 systems, from leisure to class vessels.
Overview
The eight NMEA 0183 inputs can be routed to any of the six NMEA 0183 outputs, providing a highly customisable network. A bi-directional serial and Ethernet ports allow for simple configuration and diagnostics using Actisense software.
The configuration tool is accessible via any popular web browser (using the Ethernet port), so there are no PC operating system compatibility issues. The web-based configuration tool will allow users to tune the exact data available on each output. The default setup is for all data to go to all outputs.
2-part pluggable connectors on the PRO-MUX-2 (screw or screwless terminals available) mean that users can easily install new devices without the need to remove the PRO-MUX-2 from its mounted location. A professional DIN rail mounting mechanism keeps the PRO-MUX-2 secure in high-vibration environments. Helpful LEDs indicate power, data in, data out and the alarm status to aid diagnostics.
