 SPECIFICATIONS OF MULTI-DISTRIBUTOR
MD-550

This equipment is used for distribution of navaid data from navigation equipment. It provides four
outputs each from two independent inputs or eight outputs from one input by changing an
internal setting. AD-10 format signal is also available to distribute four outputs from one input.

1. Port Input: 2 ports (data / shift lines)

Output: 8 ports (4 output for one input)
2. Type of Signal Serial Signal
Input: IEC 61162-1 or NMEA 0183 Ver. 1.5/2.0
(RS-422 or current loop)
Output: IEC 61162-1 (RS-422)
3. Transmission Rate 4800 bps to 38400 bps
4. Power Supply 12-24 VDC: 0.25-0.15 A
5. Coating Color 2.5G7/2 Newtone No.5
