PRO NMEA 0183 Buffer - 2 OPTO Inputs, 12 ISO-Drive Outputs, Serial Port, Ethernet Port, Pluggable Screw Terminal

Two OPTO-isolated inputs and twelve ISO-Drive™ isolated outputs. Offering device protection and excellent flexibility, all in one product - 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 is ready to go ‘out of the box’ by simply hard-wiring the two-mode inputs as required.

The Intelligent NMEA 0183 Buffer's 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 customisation 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 PRO-BUF-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.

Amazing fiberglass restoration.
So easy to use and fabulous results. A few years back I had tried Maguires products to restore the shine on a 5th wheel. That was so labor intensive and the results were struggled to achieve faded quickly. I hesitated to Poli Glow due to the cost and our prior attempts lackluster results. I was able to get the restoration kit at a discount on Black Friday through the stores website and tackled the camper with the temps between 60-90 as instructed. I bought 2 of those kits just to find out that due to the climate and UV exposure the number of coats I would need for the Poli Glow was going to exceed the amount I had on hand through the 2 restoration kits. So I had to scramble to buy another bottle of Poli Glow. Applying this product is just time consuming and not difficult. Make sure to properly prepare the surface before using poliglow. The whole system turn a badly oxidized camper into a shiny finish. I am truly shocked. Hopeful the results will last a while. 5th wheel camper 40 foot long. I have used 3 poliglow bottles (12 coats), 1 bottle poli ox, 1.5 bottles of Poli wash (of course, not in that order). I potentially need 1 more bottle of Poli Glow to finish nose cone/basement area (basement area is still in good condition so may not do this area if I can get the nose cone with the remainder of the Poli glow I have.)

Worth the time and effort.
After proper surface prep and 6 applications, my badly sun damaged RV shined like new, with many compliments. However, after a few months under the cover, the fiberglass surfaces that were in contact with the occasionally wet cover in the Florida sun discolored badly, and will have to be wet sanded and the coating re-applied. Also, the polish does not hold up well where boat fenders rub against the coating, and it wears away in cockpit areas that are heavy hand traffic, like hatchways and around handrails. Overall a decent product, I will probably re-apply in a couple seasons.

Brings old paint back to life.
Best product for fiberglass oxidation. Tried many different wax’s and compounds. Poly Glow did what the wax could not do.

Wish I Had Used This Sooner – Stop Debating and Just Buy It!
Size: Powder Poli Ox - Pack of 6
Wish I Had Used This Sooner – Stop Debating and Just Buy It! After a lot of debate, extensive research, and way too many hours spent using other products trying to restore and protect my RV's fiberglass that never fully delivered the results I was after, I finally tried the Poli Glow Deluxe Kit—and I am extremely happy I did. My only regret is not using it sooner instead of letting other people's opinions talk me out of it. The 6-in-1 complete kit is the right way to tackle fiberglass restoration from start to finish—eliminating oxidation, restoring the shine, and then protecting it long term all in one comprehensive system. The difference in how my RV looks after going through the full Poli Glow process is genuinely impressive and far beyond what any single product or traditional buffing method I tried before could deliver. The oxidation came off cleanly, the restored shine is deep and glossy, and the long-lasting protection gives real peace of mind knowing the fiberglass is shielded from UV damage and the elements going forward—especially important in the brutal Las Vegas sun. For anyone who has been going back and forth on whether to invest in the full Poli Glow Deluxe Kit—stop debating, stop listening to everyone else's opinion, and just do it. The complete system delivers complete results, and I won't be using anything else on my RV going forward. Highest possible recommendation.
