Actisense NMEA2000 Smart Universal Micro Terminator (Part A2K-TER-U)

NMEA2000 Smart Universal Micro Terminator

Terminate your NMEA 2000 network regardless of whether a male or female connection is required and use the TER-Us smart functionality to easily diagnose any power or voltage issues on your NMEA 2000 bus.

The TER-U can be fitted directly at the end of your network or used as an in-line terminator in difficult-to-access locations.

The TER-U acts as an intelligentdiagnosticterminator, providing instant feedback on the state of the NMEA 2000 bus onboard. It is also auniversalterminator which can be used as an inline terminator or else as either a Male or Female terminator, as it comes supplied with blanking caps.

It has a built-in high-accuracy voltage monitoring circuit, which continuously monitors the bus voltage, and will illuminate its internal LEDs when it detects that the bus voltage is of the correct polarity. If it detects that the voltage is within the minimum required range, it will indicate GREEN immediately, providing continuous, valuable feedback as to the state of the bus.

If the voltage falls below the minimum required level of 9.0V, then the LEDs will illuminate RED, showing there is a potential problem with the NMEA 2000 bus power. Similarly, if the LEDs do not illuminate at all, this would indicate that there was no power or that the polarity was incorrect. This monitoring function happens continuously and remains permanent.

Because these terminators are illuminated, they instantly provide feedback that the terminator is actually present (i.e., able to identify that there are two terminators present) especially helpful in difficult-to-reach locations.

This smart universal micro-terminator can be used as either a male or female terminator or even as a feed-through terminator for applications at the top of masts, making it truly universal.

The Actisense NMEA2000 Smart Universal Micro Terminator is an essential component for ensuring reliable communication within your NMEA 2000 network. Designed for versatility, this intelligent terminator can be used as a male or female connection, or as a feed-through at difficult-to-access locations such as mast tops, providing maximum flexibility for your marine electronics setup. Its built-in smart functionality allows for real-time diagnostics, instantly alerting you to power or voltage issues with integrated LED indicators that communicate the bus voltage status clearly and accurately.

Equipped with high-precision voltage monitoring, the Actisense TER-U continuously tracks the bus voltage, illuminating green when the voltage is within the proper range and red when it drops below the minimum threshold of 9.0V. If there is no power or the polarity is incorrect, the LEDs remain off, providing immediate feedback for troubleshooting. This real-time monitoring helps prevent communication failures, ensuring your marine electronics operate smoothly and reliably.

Constructed with durable materials, including brass and phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, the TER-U is rated IP67 for protection against dust and water ingress when mated. Its robust design features a black PVC housing, M12 threading for secure connections, and compatibility with standard M12-A polarization, making it suitable for various marine and industrial applications. With a rated current of 4A and operating voltage of 36VDC, it offers dependable performance in demanding environments. Its compact weight of less than an ounce makes it easy to install in tight spaces or remote locations, such as on masts or in engine compartments.
