Figure 3 – RS-232 and Battery connections

Connecting to a Personal Computer

The RS-232 port can be connected to a PC communications 

port  using  a  cable  conforming  to  the  following 

specification:

1.  A D-type female (socket) connector for the PC end of 

the cable

2.  A  minimum  of  3  cores  are  required  in  a  shielded 

cable. Higher quality cable will naturally yield higher 

performance  /  higher  Signal-to-Noise  Ratio  (SNR).  

Most typical cables have two twisted pairs inside. In 

this case, use one pair for the 

TX

 line and one for the 

RX

 line. Use the spare wire in each pair as ground, 

and  connect  the  cable  shield  to  ground  only  at  the 

computer end.

3.  The 

TX

  of  the  NDC-3  should  be  connected  to  the 

RX

  of  the  computer  (standard  D-type,  pin  2)  and 

the NDC-3 

RX

 should be connected to the 

TX

 of the 

computer (pin 3). The 

GND

 of the NDC-3 should be 

connected to the PC’s serial port ground (pin 5).

Connecting to the battery supply

The 

Actisense™

 NDC-3 should be wired to the vessel’s 

battery  supply  in  the  most  direct  manner  possible,  to 

minimize interference from other electronic devices. The 

cable  used  should  be  of  sufficient gauge to handle the

power requirements of the 

Actisense™

 NDC-3 (refer to 

the 

Specifications

 sections).
