CONNECTIONS

RS232

The RS232 connector on the F485 converter accepts a standard 9-pin computer cable. See wiring diagram for pin assignments.

RS485

The RS485 terminals accept a standard shielded twisted pair (such as Beldon 9841) and provide connections for a "+", "-" and a shield. The RS485 terminals have a terminating network installed internally and therefore, no external terminating network is required. Observe correct polarity.

POWER JACK

Connect the supplied power adapter to this input if power is not supplied via the terminals. The power adapter steps down 120/220 VAC to 9 VAC.

FIBER

The fiber input/output will accept 50/125, 62.5/125 and 100/140um fiber sizes using ST terminated cables. Care should be taken when removing the protective caps to prevent dust from entering the connectors.

POWER TERMINALS

The power terminals accept either 9 VAC or 9 VDC to power the F485 converter instead of using the power adapter. The GND terminal must be connected to ground to ensure adaquate protection against transients. Pin 4 is the main transient ground for the converter.

CONFIGURATION

The converter box is configured via two internal dip switch banks which are accessible by removing the converter box cover. Switches A1-A8 are used to set the baud rate for RS485 communications and determine whether the converter is DTE (RS232 direct) or DCE (RS232 modem). Switches B1-B6 are used to select the interface type. The designator for each switch is clearly marked on the printed circuit board. The tables shown below provide a description of each switch within the switch banks.
