Intelligent Type Approved NMEA 0183 Multiplexer/NMEA 2000 Gateway

Interconnectivity, reimagined! The PRO-NDC-1E2K is much more than an NMEA 0183 Multiplexer…Rugged, Robust, Type Approved Multiplexer with built-in NMEA 2000 connectivity, high-speed Ethernet streaming of data, flexible configuration, auto-switching and sentence-level filtering.

Managing and routing your NMEA data is straightforward forward, hassle-free using the PRO-NDC-1E2K:

• Auto-switching between inputs to allow for a primary, secondary, or tertiary priority input.
• Configurable baud rates to allow 38400 and 4800 baud devices to operate through the same multiplexer.
• Sentence filtering to block unwanted sentences from specific outputs helps to limit bandwidth consumption.
• Easy to configure using the web-based UI, no need to manually enter and edit strings of text.
• RINA-type approved device means the multiplexer is fit for leisure, commercial, and class/type installations.
• Multiple LEDs allow for ‘quick glance’ diagnostics to ensure everything is operating correctly.
• Certified NMEA 2000 device connectivity allows for the conversion and output of data onto the NMEA 2000 network.
• Bi-directional conversion to and from the N2K Network allows for seamless integration between legacy and new equipment.
• NMEA 0183 data streaming over Ethernet enables connectivity to existing Ethernet devices and systems.
• NMEA 2000 data streaming over Ethernet.
• 5 OPTO-Isolated NMEA 0183 inputs and 2 ISO-Drive NMEA 0183 outputs protect all connected instruments.

Multiplexers are typically used to combine multiple instruments’ data output into a smaller number of outputs. As you can’t connect two talkers to one listener directly, a multiplexer allows for the data to be output through one talker connection.

An example of this could be on a commercial vessel with multiple NMEA 0183 GPS, wind, AIS, and depth instruments. To get all of this data combined and sent to an NMEA 0183 display, the multiple talker inputs can be combined into one output on the PRO-NDC-1E2K. If the data is needed on an NMEA 2000 network, the 1E2K can convert and output this data onto a connected N2K network thanks to the conversion matrix within the product and the incorporated NMEA2000 connectivity.  

With the PRO-NDC-1E2K, the data can be filtered, passed or blocked and monitored, giving greater flexibility and control over all instrument data. 

The device also carries the ability to stream NMEA data in various formats over Ethernet, meaning it can connect to other existing Ethernet Systems and share vessel data to connected applications or third-party devices.

0183 to N2K Gateway with PC Interface, USB

The NGX-1 is an intelligent gateway that converts NMEA 0183 data to NMEA 2000 (and vice versa), allowing you to share information between devices from the two standards. This creates the possibility of upgrading some of the vessel’s electronics to NMEA 2000 and keeping the remaining NMEA 0183 devices. This can help spread the cost of transitioning to NMEA 2000, reducing the initial upgrade cost to accommodate a new NMEA 2000 device. 

The ISO variant connects easily to NMEA 0183 devices with a dedicated pair of data wires for transmit and receive, allowing the NGX-1 to share data bi-directionally if required. OPTOIsolation is included on the input and groundbreaking ISO-DriveTM technology is on the output to keep your devices safe from hazardous ground loops. 

The USB Variant allows for quick and easy connectivity to a PC running software that requires NMEA 0183 data.

Thanks to the device being low power, it is powered directly from the NMEA 2000 network, removing the requirement for an independent power supply. 

The Actisense NGX-1 also makes it possible to send and receive NMEA 2000 data safely between a PC and an NMEA 2000 network. This creates the possibility of feature-rich software applications replacing or complementing dedicated hardware such as a Multifunction Display (MFD) or Chart Plotter. 

Acting as an NMEA 2000 to PC Gateway allows the device to act as a rule-enforcing firewall between the PC and the network, giving the user full control over what data is passed and blocked. The NGX is capable of transferring every currently available NMEA 2000 PGN from the network to a PC application.

Features:

• Vital NMEA 2000 diagnostic tool.
• USB version is fully isolated to prevent dangerous ground loops.
• Up to 230,400 baud rate data transfer rate.
• Integrated 1.8m USB cable.
• Diagnostic LEDs on both input and output.

NMEA 2000® Rib Starter Kit

An expandable solution for smaller boat users that wish to install an NMEA 2000 network.

Installing small NMEA 2000 networks is quicker and easier than it’s ever been with this NMEA 2000 Starter Kit (A2K-KIT-3) from Actisense.

The equivalent of four T-pieces in a single case provides a significant time and space saving with no more connecting multiple T-pieces together. Termination resistors are included and as they are removable, the network can be extended if needed.

The Micro power cord provides a unique solution to quickly power your network that is easy to install, taking ‘Plug & Play’ to the next level.

The NMEA 2000 Starter Kit 3 contains:

A2K-SBN-2 Small Boat 8 Way Self-Contained Boat Network N2K

Installing small NMEA 2000® networks is quicker and easier than it’s ever been with the Self-contained Boat Network (SBN) from Actisense.

The equivalent of eight T-pieces in a single case provides a significant time and space saving with no more connecting multiple T-pieces together. Termination resistors are built in which increases the saving on time and space.

Once the attached 3 metre cable is connected to the boats power supply, an NMEA 2000 network for up to eight devices is ready to use, taking ‘plug & play’ to the next level.

Features:

• Self-contained NMEA 2000 Network

Small Boat N2K Network Kit

Installing compact sized NMEA2000® networks is now quicker and easier with the introduction of the Small Boat Network from Actisense. This "backbone in a box" is the equivalent of four T-pieces, two terminators and a power tap, all molded into a single, compact case. This innovative design provides a significant cost, time and space savings compared to traditional NMEA2000® starter kits.

Cables are easily connected/disconnected after mounting thanks to the ambidextrous, molded-in screw locations and the built-in standoff. Once the integral 3 meter power cord is connected to the vessel’s power supply, an NMEA2000® network for up to four devices is ready to use, truly taking ‘plug & play’ to the next level. The Small Boat Network can even be expanded, as long as all NMEA2000® installation requirements are properly observed.

Micro 4-Way Instrument Drop

The Actisense 4-way drop makes it easier to reach up to four devices with a single cable.

Typically, when four devices need to be connected to an NMEA 2000 backbone, a T-piece and individual cable is required for each one. This can either mean excessive cabling demands or moving the backbone closer to your devices.

The 4-way drop makes it possible to shorten the length of each cable needed before reaching a T-piece.
