The SeaHub interfaces are software configurable to drive long lines with ARCNET or RS485 as required by the individual sensors and RS232, RS422 or TTL via multiplexer channels. The unit may be mains or DC powered; if mains powered then a DC output is available to power connected equipment. If DC powered the output DC is a fused extension of the input supply. Front panel diagnostic LEDs show interface ports in use and their status. The SeaHub is fully compatible with Tritech Seanet Pro software suite and is automatically recognised in Windows if Seanet Pro is installed. Additionally the unit may be extended using the same Remote Access Terminal (RAT) found on the Surface Control Unit (SCU) to provide an ergonomic set of hardware controls that can operate all of the functionality provided by the Seanet Pro software. Connection to the RAT is via the front mounted DE-9 port. Head connections can be made via an AIF compatible DA-15 connector, DE-9 serial, or DIN-6. The SeaHub is available as either a 19” rack mount able unit, or as a portable desktop package.
