Serial Line Splitter family of navigational signal distributors

SLS

The devices are designed for the distribution of navigational signals in the NMEA standard as well as other serial transmission signals carried out via RS-422 interfaces at speeds of up to 2MBit/s. The primary application is to receive, amplify, galvanically isolate and distribute navigational signals from sensors/receivers (GPS, log, compass, echo sounder, clock, wind gauge, etc.) and deliver them to multiple receiving points – repeaters, recorders, displays and other navigational devices, with overvoltage and interference protection ensuring reliable operation and cooperation of shipborne navigational equipment.

The devices ensure continuity of navigational information delivery, thanks to the ability to connect two signal sources of the same type, e.g. two GPS receivers – primary and backup, with automatic connection of the backup source in the event of transmission loss from the primary source and restoration of communication from the primary source after its restart.

Characteristics

  • Distribution of navigational signals in the NMEA standard.

  • Serial transmission via RS-422 interfaces at speeds of up to 2 MBit/s.

  • Ensuring continuity of navigational information delivery.

  • Connection of a backup navigational information source in the event of transmission loss from the primary source.

Each of the models features

  • two power supply circuits (primary and backup) DC 12-36V

  • two RS-422 (NMEA) signal inputs, primary and backup, automatically switched, with primary output preference

  • galvanic isolation of power circuits – 1.5kV

  • individual line amplifiers on each of the output channels

  • high-impact industrial housing, designed for DIN TH-35 rail mounting

  • disconnect terminals

  • power indicators, input and output signal presence indicators, active input selection indicators
