Introduction
The PRO-BUF-1 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 manually congurable basic modes of operation include variations
of buffer modes, Autoswitch modes, and combine modes. For all other congurations, leaving the mode inputs
oating selects the ‘User Conguration Mode’. The web browser based conguration tool allows full customisation of
the PRO-BUF-1, and as the conguration tool is web based it is compatible across all popular Operating Systems.
The PRO-BUF-1 supports a direct Ethernet connection to a PC without the need for a specialised Ethernet
crossover cable.
Installation Warnings
All warnings and notices must be followed to ensure the correct operation of the PRO-BUF-1. Incorrect
installation may invalidate the guarantee.
It is highly recommended that all of the installation instructions are read before commencing the installation.
There are important warnings and notes throughout the manual that should be considered before the installation is
attempted.
Warning 1: Accuracy.
The Actisense PRO-BUF-1 is designed to accurately transfer data from input to output. When the PRO-BUF-1 is in a
Basic Mode no data integrity checking is performed, therefore any incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data received
on a PRO-BUF-1 input will be duplicated to the PRO-BUF-1 outputs. In contrast, PRO-BUF-1 Smart Modes do use the
sentence checksum (if available) to remove incomplete and corrupted data, however, the accuracy of the data elds in
a valid sentence still remains the responsibility of the NMEA Talker that generated the data.
Warning 2: Installation and Operation.
This product must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions provided. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury, damage to your boat and/or poor product performance.
Warning 3: Installation Code of Practice.
When wiring the power supply to the PRO-BUF-1 ensure the isolation switch is off. Wiring the PRO-BUF-1 while the
connection is live may damage the PRO-BUF-1 and is in breach of the guarantee. Any connection to a battery or power
supply must meet the mandatory essential safety requirements that may be imposed by local regulatory agencies.
All wiring should be in accordance with the requirements of the NMEA 0400 installation specication.
Warning 4: Mounting Requirements.
Select a at location to mount the PRO-BUF-1. Mounting on a contoured surface may cause damage to the case. Do
not mount the PRO-BUF-1 while the device is powered, or the cable harness is connected.
Note that the connectors are pluggable for easy disconnection when mounting or removing the PRO-BUF-1.
Software Updates
The PRO-BUF-1 units have built-in rmware which is held in ash memory, allowing quick and easy upgrades using the
latest Actisense Toolkit or ActiPatch. It is highly recommended that the rmware is kept up to date in the PRO-BUF-1.
The PRO-BUF-1 rmware version can be viewed on the PRO-BUF-1 Conguration Tool ‘Home’ page, in the ‘Main
Application’ section. Details of the latest PRO-BUF-1 rmware version released can be viewed on the Actisense
website’s PRO-BUF-1 ‘Downloads’ page, for the Actisense Toolkit or ActiPatch download.

Before getting started
The wire colours used in this manual are in accordance with the NMEA 0183 specication (v.4.10, June 2014) and are for
illustration purposes only. Please ensure you check the wiring colours in the installation instructions for the devices you
wish to interface to the PRO-BUF-1.
Terminals
The PRO-BUF-1 comes with two main choices for its 2-way and 3-way connectors: ‘screw’ (-R) or ‘screwless ’ (-S).
PRO-BUF-1 connectors are pluggable, meaning they can be easily removed for quick and simple wire installation
without the need to unmount the PRO-BUF-1 from its installed location.
Screw Connector
2-way: 3-way:
Screwless Connector
Open the clamp inside the screwless connector by
pressing down on the orange button with a small (2mm)
at headed screwdriver. This will allow the wire to
be inserted. For best connections do not twist the
wire strands.
Connections
Power Supply
The PRO-BUF-1 requires a power source providing
between 10 and 35 Volts DC.
The PRO-BUF-1 ‘+’ terminal should be connected to the
vessel power supply ‘+’ terminal via the correctly rated fuse
(in accordance with NMEA 0400).
The PRO-BUF-1 ‘-’ terminal should be connected
to the vessels DC ground plate.
The input supply connection has continuous reverse
polarity and ESD protection.
Release the orange button to lower the clamp on to the
wire strands for a secure termination.

NMEA 0183 Talker and Listener Designations
The NMEA have updated the NMEA 0183 specication to ensure a consistent naming convention is used for
labelling ports. The designation follows the same rules as used for Rx and Tx labelling but uses Talker and Listener
instead. The input / receiving (Rx) port will be labelled as a ‘Listener’ port. The output / transmitting (Tx) port will
be labelled as a ‘Talker’ port. When a port is labelled ‘Listener’ it is an input and when it is labelled ‘Talker’ it is an
output.
Connecting to NMEA Devices
The ‘A/+’ and ‘B/-’ of the NMEA 0183 device should be matched to the ‘A’ and ‘B’ on the PRO-BUF-1. If the NMEA
0183 device has a ground (GND) wire (and no ‘B/-’ wire), simply connect this to ‘B’ on the PRO-BUF-1.
OPTO Inputs
Connect the NMEA 0183 Talker to the PRO-BUF-1
Listener terminals as shown in the diagram.
RF Ground Connection
The shield from each Listener should be connected to the terminal on the PRO-BUF-1 ‘Isolated Talkers’ ports.
All terminals are connected internally and form a common bonding point at the RF ground stud.
The RF ground stud should be connected to the vessels RF ground plate using a minimum conductor size of 8 AWG
(10mm2) in accordance with NMEA 0400, (in version 3.1, this is in section 3.2).
ISO-Drive Outputs
Connect the NMEA 0183 Listener to the PRO-BUF-1
Talker terminals as shown in the diagram. Connect the
shield/drain wire of each Listener to the terminal.

The connections for a null modem cable are:
Ethernet
Either a standard Ethernet patch or crossover cable with an RJ45 plug can be used for a direct connection to a PC/
laptop, or the PRO-BUF-1 can be connected to an Ethernet network switch.
Insert the RJ45 plug in to the PRO-BUF-1 ‘Ethernet’ terminal until a click is heard. To remove the RJ45 plug, push down
on the locking clip and pull the cable away from the ‘Ethernet’ terminal.
Note: Transferring NMEA 0183 data via Ethernet is a feature planned for a future rmware release. Currently the
Ethernet connection is used to congure the PRO-BUF-1 and create ‘User Modes’ (via the Conguration Tool), and
update the PRO-BUF-1’s rmware.
Alarm
Connect to an Alarm input, indicator or monitoring equipment as required. Currently this feature is not available but
will become active through a rmware update for the Autoswitch modes initially.

Operating Modes
The PRO-BUF-1 can be congured manually using the ‘Mode’ pins (also referred to as ‘hard-wiring’) or user congured
via the Conguration Tool. Manually conguring the PRO-BUF-1 takes priority over any user conguration. The factory
default setting of the PRO-BUF-1 is ‘Buffer Mode 3’.
Hard-wiring the operating modes
For a list of modes and how to set them up, refer to the ‘Mode Table’ sheet included with the PRO-BUF-1 or available
from the PRO-BUF-1 ‘Downloads’ page on the Actisense website.

Direct connections or basic Ethernet networks
If the PRO-BUF-1 is connected directly to a PC (or the Ethernet network does not have a DHCP server), the PRO-BUF-1
will communicate using auto-IP by default. The auto-IP process can take up to 60 seconds to complete. The PC’s
“Local Area Connection” must also be setup to use auto-IP in order to communicate on this network most PCs are set
to do this by default. If needed, instructions for how to do this using Windows 7 are detailed below (other Windows
Operating Systems will be similar). Administrator privileges are required to carry out these instructions in full:

Conguration Tool
The default page displayed is the PRO-BUF-1 Conguration Tool ‘Home’ page. We strongly suggest bookmarking the
‘Home’ page in your web browser to allow quick and easy future access.
To access any of the PRO-BUF-1 setup pages, the user is required to log-in. This prevents unauthorised user access
from modifying the PRO-BUF-1 conguration. The factory default log-in is “admin” for username and “admin” for
password. A future rmware update will allow individual username and password log-ins to be remembered and used.
All modications to the PRO-BUF-1 settings, including any user dened ‘User Modes’ are automatically saved inside
the PRO-BUF-1.
Troubleshooting Guide
First level PRO-BUF-1 diagnostics / fault nding can be performed by observing the LED behavior. The normal
behavior of the PRO-BUF-1 LEDs is described below. If the LEDs are not behaving as expected, this will indicate a fault
in either the device connected to the PRO-BUF-1, the wiring/connections, or the PRO-BUF-1 itself.
LEDs
Name of LED and its Behaviour If LED does not light
Power (Blue ‘PWR’) LED
Pulses blue to indicate presence
of power. During power-on, this
LED will ash rapidly (5 times
per second) for 2 seconds to
indicate that the Bootloader is
active.
• Ensure that the power terminal plug is correctly located and seated.
• Ensure that the wires are securely connected to the plug.
• Ensure that positive power and ground wires have been connected with the
correct polarity.
• Ensure that any external power fuse has not blown and that the external power
isolation switch is closed.
• Ensure that the power supply meets the Voltage and Current requirements as
dened in the Specications.
Listener (Green ‘IN’) LEDs
In Basic Modes, this LED will
ash on receipt of any data (at
a rate determined by baud rate
and data load).
In Smart Modes, this LED will
ash when valid data is received
(at a rate determined by baud
rate and data load).
• Ensure that the PRO-BUF-1 has power, refer to “Power (Blue ‘PWR’) LED” above.
• Ensure that the (NMEA Talker) device connected to this input is powered and is
congured to output data.
• Ensure that the plug is correctly located and the wires are securely connected to
the plug, with the correct polarity.
• Ensure that two data wires are connected to the PRO-BUF-1 Listener terminals.
If the (NMEA Talker) device does not have a ‘negative’ data connection/wire,
connect its ground to the ‘B/-’ on the PRO-BUF-1 Listener terminal instead.
• If the (NMEA Talker) device is sending data at 38400 baud or less, the PRO-
BUF-1 will automatically match that baud rate by default. Check that this default
setting has not been changed to a ‘Manual’ baud rate instead.
