What is ISO-Drive?

Proudly engineered by Actisense, ISO-Drive™ technology is unique to our products and ensures each ‘Talker’ output is protected. ISO-Drive™ provides an isolated output, making installation simple and free from ground loops. This substantially reduces the risk of damage and hazards in connected equipment.

The ISO-Drive™ output is compatible with all connection types (RS422, RS485 & RS232), making for easy installation of an NMEA 0183 data bus system.

Outputs are separately isolated from each other and the input (Listener) circuit and can ‘float’ safely up to 1500 volts D.C from system ground.
