Actisense 0183 to N2K Gateway w/PC Interface, ISO

The Actisense NGX-1 is a versatile and intelligent gateway designed for marine enthusiasts seeking seamless integration between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 devices. Whether you're upgrading your vessel's electronics or maintaining existing equipment, the NGX-1 ensures efficient data sharing and enhanced connectivity on your boat.

Product Overview

The NGX-1 facilitates bi-directional data conversion between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 standards, allowing you to bridge the gap between older and newer marine electronics. This flexibility enables you to gradually transition to the advanced NMEA 2000 network while retaining your reliable NMEA 0183 devices, effectively managing upgrade costs.

Variants and Connectivity

ISO Variant

The ISO variant of the NGX-1 is engineered for robust and safe connections to NMEA 0183 devices. It features dedicated transmit and receive data wires, enabling bidirectional data flow when needed. Key technologies include:

• OPTOIsolation: Protects your devices by isolating the input to prevent electrical noise and interference.
• ISO-Drive™ Technology: Safeguards your equipment from hazardous ground loops, ensuring reliable performance.

USB Variant

The USB variant offers straightforward connectivity to a PC, making it ideal for running software applications that require NMEA 0183 data. This variant is perfect for integrating with marine PC systems and enhancing your vessel's digital capabilities.

Power and Installation

Designed for low power consumption, the NGX-1 is powered directly from the NMEA 2000 network. This eliminates the need for a separate power supply, simplifying installation and reducing clutter on your vessel's electrical system.

The device comes with an integrated 0.75m ISO cable, ensuring quick and easy setup. Additionally, diagnostic LEDs on both input and output provide real-time status updates, making troubleshooting straightforward.

Enhanced Functionality

The Actisense NGX-1 not only bridges NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 networks but also acts as a powerful NMEA 2000 to PC Gateway. This functionality allows you to:

• Send and receive NMEA 2000 data safely between your PC and the marine network.
• Utilize feature-rich software applications to replace or complement dedicated hardware like Multifunction Displays (MFDs) or Chart Plotters.
• Control data flow with a rule-enforcing firewall, granting you full authority over which data is transmitted or blocked.
• Transfer every currently available NMEA 2000 PGN to your PC applications, ensuring comprehensive data access.
