USB Digital I/O ‑ SeaDAC
Item # 
Interface 32 optically isolated inputs via any USB 
connection with the 8223. Inputs can range from 5‑30VDC 
and provide 300V external isolation. Connection is made 
using convenient 3.5mm removable screw terminal 
connectors. To facilitate easy wiring, the inputs are grouped 
in 4‑bit segments that each share a common.
SeaDAC modules are housed in a rugged, attractive plastic 
enclosure and include a highly‑retentive USB Type B 
connector to prevent accidental disconnection. The 8223 is 
USB bus powered, so no external power supply is needed. 
Standard operating temperature range of SeaDAC modules 
is 0° C to 70° C and extended temperature range (‑40° C 
to +85° C) is optional.
The SeaMAX software suite supports the SeaDAC family 
and is designed to work with third party applications via 
the SeaMAX API. Installation and operation is easy using 
Windows 2000/XP and SeaMAX now supports the Windows 
Vista operating system. Download the updated driver below.
