  • Page 4: Installation Warnings

    Warning 1: Accuracy The Actisense NDC-5 is designed to accurately transfer data from input to output. When the NDC-5 is in a Basic Mode no data integrity checking is performed, therefore any incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data received on a NDC-5 input will be duplicated to the NDC-5 outputs.

  • Page 5: Ndc-5 Intro & Features

    NMEA 0183 interconnectivity headaches. The five NMEA 0183 inputs can be routed to any of the two NMEA 0183 outputs, as well as the serial and Ethernet ports* providing a highly customisable network. The bi-directional serial port and Ethernet port also allow for simple configuration and diagnostics using Actisense software.

  • Page 6: Before Getting Started

    Connecting to NMEA Devices The ‘A/+’ and ‘B/-’ of the NMEA 0183 device should be matched to the ‘A’ and ‘B’ on the NDC-5. If the NMEA 0183 device has a ground (GND) wire (and no ‘B/-’ wire), simply connect this to ‘B’ on the NDC-5.

    NDC-5 in place. Bulkhead Mounting Actisense recommends the NDC-5 is installed using the DIN rail supplied for the most secure installation. However, the NDC-5 can be secured to a bulkhead using the two screw catches on the reverse of the NDC- 5 shown in the diagram below.

  • Page 9: Web Browser Configuration Tool

    NMEA 0183 Multiplexer - NDC-5 Web Browser Configuration Tool The Configuration Tool for the NDC-5 is built-in and can be accessed via the Ethernet connection. As the Configuration Tool is web based it is compatible with all popular web browsers and Operating Systems.

  • Page 10: Direct Connections Or Basic Ethernet Networks

    Direct connections or basic Ethernet networks If the NDC-5 is connected directly to a PC (or the Ethernet network does not have a DHCP server), the NDC-5 will communicate using auto-IP by default. The auto-IP process can take up to 60 seconds to complete.
  • Page 11 NMEA 0183 Multiplexer - NDC-5 First level NDC-5 diagnostics / fault finding can be performed by observing the LED behavior. The normal behavior of the NDC-5 LEDs is described in the table below. If the LEDs are not behaving as expected, this will indicate a fault in either the device connected to the NDC-5, the wiring/connections, or the NDC-5 itself.

  • Page 12: Technical Support And The Returns Procedure

    Actisense Technical Support to help trace the issue before considering the return of the product. If the Actisense support engineer concludes that the NDC-5 unit should be returned to Actisense, a ‘Return Merchandise Authorisation’ (RMA) number will be issued by the support engineer.
