• Converts RS-232 to RS-422/485
• Includes 9 pin to 5 pin Terminal Block adapter
• Surge Protection ESD with 15KV of all lines
• Surge Protection with 2.5KV
• Product colour: Black
• Weight: 0.2 kg

How to use

Connect your RS-232 cable to the corresponding port on the converter and attach the RS-422/485 side or the included terminal block adapter to your target network or device. Ensure all wiring is secure and correctly assigned to the respective pins before powering on the connected equipment. The device operates transparently to facilitate continuous data flow between the different interfaces.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing hardware utilizes RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial interfaces
• Check the wiring requirements and ensure compatibility with the included 9-pin to 5-pin terminal block adapter
• Assess the physical installation environment to ensure the 0.2 kg unit weight and compact housing meet your space constraints

Usage recommendations

Always disconnect power from your serial devices before connecting or disconnecting the converter to prevent accidental electrical damage. Ensure proper grounding in industrial environments to maximize the effectiveness of the built-in ESD and surge protection features.
