The Actisense USG-2 converts a USB port into a bi-directional serial port suitable for connection to a marine standard NMEA 0183 data bus. For secure, reliable and easy connection of your NMEA 0183, RS422 and RS232 devices to your PC's USB port. It provides a much safer connection compared to standard USB to serial converters.
Electrical isolation is provided by the ISO-DriveTM output and OPTO-isolated input making installation simple and free of ground loops.
The input uses Actisense OPTO isolation circuitry to protect all 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 high-quality, shielded USB cable included with the USG-2 makes connection to a PC easy while providing a high level of water protection when connected to the custom-designed USB connector.
The pluggable screwless connector makes installation quick and easy, and the specially designed DIN-rail mounting option provides a reliable secure bulkhead mount for the USG-2.
Multiple LEDs make diagnosing connection problems quick and easy. The blue power LED illuminates solid blue when the USB driver is successfully loaded and powering the USG-2, while a green (receiving) LED and an orange (transmitting) LED indicate whether data is present.
