Conguration via DIP switch

Select the operating mode using the two DIP switches SW1 and SW2:

SW1 SW2 Communication mode

OFF OFF RS422 mode, RS485 4-wire mode

OFF ON

ON OFF RS485 2-wire mode (non-echo)

ON ON RS485 2-wire mode (echo)

If the RS422 or RS485 4-wire mode is selected, the DIP switches SW3 and SW4 are used

to activate/deactivate the terminating resistor (activate at the beginning and at the end of the

wiring):

SW3 Activate/deactivate the terminating resistor for 4-wire mode at the

receiver side

OFF Terminating resistor deactivated

ON Terminating resistor activated

SW4 Activate/deactivate the terminating resistor for 4-wire mode at the

transmitter side

OFF Terminating resistor deactivated

ON Terminating resistor activated

If the RS485 2-wire mode is selected, the DIP switch SW4 is used to activate/deactivate the

terminating resistor:

SW4 Activate/deactivate the terminating resistor for 2-wire mode at the

receiver and the transmitter side

OFF Terminating resistor deactivated

ON Terminating resistor activated

Transmission speed/cable length

The achievable baud rate may differ from the following tables depending on the

cable, ambient conditions, etc. The use of shielded cables is recommended for EIA-

422 and EIA-485 (CAT5, EIA/TIA/ANSI-568).

The tables were created using a CAT5e UTP cable at room temperature.

Using the terminals

The wire of the connection cable is pushed straight into a connection terminal (stripping the

cable about 6 - 7 mm).

In order to remove the wire from the terminal, press the corresponding white release button by

using for example a at screwdriver while pulling the wire out of the terminal simultaneously. Do

not use force when pulling out the wire or pressing the release button.

Operating instructions

RS232 to RS422/RS485 Converter

Item no. 1693714

Intended use

This product is used for the connection of a device with RS422/RS485 interface to a RS232

port.

The voltage/power is supplied either via RS232 or via the two “PWR” terminals.

For safety and compliance reasons, the product must not be converted or modied in any way.

If you use the product for other purposes than those described above, the product may be dam-

aged. Moreover, improper use involves risks such as short-circuits, re, electric shocks, etc.

Please read the operating instructions carefully and do not discard them. Please include these

operating instructions when you pass the product on to a third party.

Voltage/power supply

a) Via RS232

The converter can be powered via RS232 (TXD, RTS, DTR connection) (follow information

on the RS232 interface you are using). Power LED “ ” on the converter lights up, if voltage/

power properly supplied.

If a number of RS422 / RS485 devices are connected to the converter, voltage/

power should be supplied via the terminals, see b).

b) Via terminals

6 terminals are located on the back of the converter. An external voltage/power supply is con-

nected via the two “PWR” terminals (5 - 9 V/DC, polarity irrelevant). Power LED “

” on the

converter lights up, if voltage/power properly supplied.

Connection

• Congure the DIP switches rst.

• Next do the wiring.

• Connect the converter to your RS232 interface. If used, connect the extension cable 1: 1. The

knurled-head screws on the side of the converter are used to fasten the converter securely

to the RS232 port.

• LED “

” lights up when voltage/power supply is correct.

• LED “T” is lit or ashes during data transmission (T = “Transmitting”).

• LED “R” is lit or ashes when data is received (R = “Receiving”).

Care and cleaning

• Disconnect the product from the mains supply before each cleaning procedure.

• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product.

• Never use abrasive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, since these

could damage the casing or even impair operation.

Disposal

Electronic devices are recyclable materials and do not belong in the household

waste. Dispose of an unserviceable product in accordance with the relevant statu-

tory regulations. That way you full your statutory obligations and contribute to the

protection of the environment.
