Noland Engineering - SX14 NMEA 0183 Expander

Noland SX14 NMEA 0183 Expander 

The SX14 Expander is an advanced version of its predecessor (XP15) with very low power consumption, hi-speed operation to 38,400 baud, and outputs that withstand indefinite short circuits. It provides a single opto-isolated input and four independent differential (RS-422) outputs which are also compatible with RS-232 listeners.

Many marine instruments, although compliant with the NMEA 0183 specification, do not provide sufficient drive capability for multiple listeners. To overcome this, the SX14 has four outputs, each of which can drive multiple listeners, both RS-422 and/or RS-232, as needed. All outputs are isolated from each other, so that shorting one will not affect the others. A green data LED and a yellow fault LED indicate the unit is operating and connected properly.

As your needs change - a child wants a new bed, or maybe a sibling arrives - the bed can keep up with the new needs.

Choose the bed you want to convert and see the conversion options in the bed converter.

We guarantee a five-year availability of the standard conversion kits for all convertible beds from the date of purchase.

Tested and approved according to safety standard EN 747-1:2012+A1:2015.

According to EN 747 loft beds and the upper bed of bunk beds are not suitable for children under 6 years due to the risk of injury from falls.

A smaller child can sleep in the lower bed of bunk beds, possibly with a bed guard for extra safety.
