SeaDAC Hardware Description

SeaDAC Module Common Features

SeaDAC models include a high-retention Type B USB connector that prevents
accidental disconnection of the USB cable. The orange, ruggedized connector
provides up to two times the removal resistance to the cable than standard USB
connectors.

Status LEDs are also included on the front of all SeaDAC devices to indicate the
following information:

 Communicati on (Yellow) – Blinks when data is transmitted
 Fault (Red) – Lights when there is a problem with the device
 Status (Green) – Blinks when the device is enumerated by the USB port

SeaDAC Power Requirements

Sealevel SeaDAC modules are powered by the USB host interface and require 5VDC
@ 500mA to be available on the USB port. Most computers and powered USB hubs
are capable of meeting this requirement, while passive USB hubs and some laptops
running on batteries may not. Check the product manual that shipped with your
system or hub if you are uncertain. You can also contact Sealevel technical support
for assistance.

The maximum power requirements for each SeaDAC device are shown below.

Item# Description mA

8221 16 Isolated Inputs / 16 Reed Relay Outputs 340
8222 16 Isolated Inputs / 8 Form C Relay Outputs 460
