No. It is not possible to connect more than one Talker to a Listeners input in any NMEA 0183 network. A multiplexer, such as the Actisense NDC-4, is required to combine multiple Talker outputs in to one...

Yes. The USG-2 will support up to eight Listeners (depending on the demand from the Listener). To ensure safe isolation of all Listeners and that enough power is available, we recommend the use of an Actisense NBF-3...

While a standard type B USB plug can be used with the USG-2, this is not recommended. Standard USB leads will not provide the same level of ingress protection that the Actisense USB lead has been designed to as it is provided with...

Yes, but there are several things to consider; firstly, each NBF-3 Talker port can drive up to 20mA. Check the sum of currents for all the NMEA Listener devices does not exceed 20mA. As a guide, the NMEA 0183 specification states that an...

When connecting an NMEA Talker device to the NBF-3 Listener port, it is possible to also power the NMEA Talker device from the NBF-3. This means only a single cable need be run between the NMEA Talker device and the NBF-3...

Yes, the NBF-3 will generate an identical copy of the electrical signal it receives on its input port to each of its output ports. The electrical signal must use RS422, RS485 or RS232 voltage levels for its ‘High’ and ‘Low’ data levels...
