Actisense PRO-BUF-2 Professional NMEA 0183 Intelligent Buffer

Actisense PRO-BUF-2 Professional NMEA 0183 Intelligent Buffer

Two OPTO-isolated inputs and twelve ISO-Drive™isolated outputs. Offering device protection and excellent flexibility, all in one product.

Introducing the Actisense® PRO-BUF-2, the intelligent, type-approved PRO range buffer.

The PRO-BUF-2 is rugged, with a stainless steel housing, and provides isolation on all inputs and outputs. With two NMEA 0183 inputs, twelve NMEA 0183 outputs, a bi-directional serial port and an Ethernet port, the PRO-BUF-2 is a perfect solution for larger leisure vessels, commercial shipping and is a great addition for systems that require type-approved devices.

The PRO-BUF-2 is designed to suit the majority of NMEA 0183 systems and ready to go ‘out of the box’ by simply hard-wiring the two-mode inputs as required.

The Intelligent NMEA 0183 Buffer manually configurable basic modes of operation include variations of buffer modes, intelligent auto-switch, and combine modes.

For all other configurations, leaving the mode inputs floating selects the ‘User Configuration Mode’. The web-based configuration tool allows full customization of the PRO-BUF-2, and is compatible across all popular Operating Systems. Using the web-based configuration tool allows for fine-tuning of the data available on each output.

To make installation quick and simple the PROBUF-2 features 2-part pluggable connectors that allow the use of screw terminals*, and a professional DIN Rail mounting system (DIN Rail not included). The device can also be mounted directly to the bulkhead.

Helpful LEDs indicate power, data in, data out, and the alarm status to aid diagnostics.

Data statistics and load indication via the web tool provide a real-time view of data.

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.
