SeaDAC Lite™ USB digital I/O modules provide a low I/O count solution in a small,
rugged enclosure. Models are available with optically isolated inputs, Reed or Form
C relay and TTL outputs. SeaDAC Lite modules are powered by the USB port,
eliminating external power supplies.
SeaDAC Lite modules integrate a SeaLATCH™ USB port that provides a secure
metal-to-metal connection and prevents accidental cable disconnection. SeaLATCH
connectors are fully compatible with standard USB cables.
For easy software integration, application programs or 3rd party software can use
Sealevel’s SeaMAX library that includes a variety of helpful diagnostic utilities and
sample programs. SeaDAC Lite modules are supported under Windows 2000, XP
and Vista™ operating systems.
For embedded system solutions, SeaDAC Lite modules are available in iPorthole™
versions with the “Intelligent Porthole” family of USB digital I/O products. Simply
design the 3.2” x 3.1” Porthole mounting footprint into your enclosure to mix and
match iPorthole USB I/O modules for maximum configurability. The Porthole
footprint offers a standard method for interfacing real-world I/O connections.
SeaDAC Lite modules are USB 1.1 compliant, USB 2.0 compatible, and are powered
by the USB port, eliminating external power supplies. OEM versions without
enclosures or Porthole mounting plates are also available.
Sealevel SeaDAC Lite modules are available in various I/O configurations, each
designed for maximum flexibility and easy field wiring. SeaDAC Lite modules offer
system designers a compact, low-cost alternative for interfacing any USB equipped
computer with real world signals. SeaDAC Lite modules are designed to work with
third party applications via the Sealevel SeaMAX API. For maximum reliability, all
SeaDAC Lite modules include Sealevel’s innovative SeaLATCH locking USB
connector design that prevents accidental cable disconnection.

SeaDAC Lite 8111 modules provide 4 optically isolated inputs and 4 Reed relay
outputs. Inputs can range from 5-30VDC, while the Reed relays provide long life
switch closures that are well suited for low current applications. Each Reed relay has
a discrete common and each pair of inputs share a common. Status LEDs display I/O
activity and field wiring is simplified via removable 3.5mm terminal blocks.
