4 Product Panel Views Description Product Views Serial I/O Port RS422/485 DC-In Power Outlet Sync Button Serial I/O Port RS-232 Antenna LED Indicators DC-In Power Outlet This Bluetooth To Serial Converter is powered by a single 9V DC (Inner positive/outer negative) power supply and 200mA of current. A suitable power supply adapter is part of the package. Connect the power line to the power outlet beside of antenna connector and put the adapter into the socket.
Antenna Connector Antenna The antenna is a standard SMA jack. Simply connect it to a 2.0dBi dipole antenna (Standard Rubber Duck) and it is 50 Ohms impedance and can support 2.4GHz frequency. Serial I/O Port Serial I/O Port RS-485/RS-422 Serial I/O Port RS232 Terminator Serial I/O Port of RS232&RS422/485 Connect the serial data cable between the converter and the serial device.
Follow the parameter setup procedures to configure the converter (see the following chapters). Terminator The purpose is for compensating signal attenuation in long distance connection at RS-485/RS-422 I/O. If the switch 1 & 2 are set in “ON” position, the signal compensation will be activated. To disable the function, just to push switch 1 & 2 to opposite position. Set Button Set Button The purpose is for synchronizing between this Bluetooth To Serial Converter and “BT RS232 Config Tool” software.
