| Re-program Actisense DST modules and Active
transducers using an RS485 to RS232 adapter... |
This product is no longer in production. There is no
direct replacement available, however, the USG-1-485 offers
RS485 to USB conversion with the added benefit of full galvanic isolation.
The Actisense® RS485 to RS232 adapter cable (RS485-1)
contains a full RS485 bi-directional, half duplex (automatic change over
between receive and transmit) interface, with protection against electrostatic
discharge included. This does not provide the complete protection of the Actisense® Opto-isolator
OPTO-1 device, as the ground connection is common, but it will protect
a PC against most common noise spikes present on a boat.
Designed primarily for use in re-programming the Actisense® DST-2
modules and the Actisense® Active
transducers (TDR).
When new software becomes available on the Actisense® website,
this adapter cable enables the flash update ActiPatch software
to connect to the sensor and download new software.
No external power supply is required as the cable takes all necessary power
from the RS232/PC port. Simple installation requires wiring the open end
to the NMEA device, and plugging the D-type connector into the PC serial
port.
