Fully Isolated RS485 Communications.
Compatible with all Innotech RS485 devices.
Provides remote dial in access through the use of an attached modem.
Operates on 9VAC or 9VDC.
All wire connections by removable terminals.
LED indication of network traffic.

The CONV 232 connects to the RS232 serial port of a computer or modem, and converts its signals to RS485 format. In this way it can be used to link the PC directly to a Genesis RS485 network. Isolated RS485 circuitry prevents voltage irregularities on the comms cabling from damaging the computer, and reduces the likelihood of communication errors.

Wiring

DO NOT connect 240V AC to any terminals.
The cable used for RS485 Comms must be shielded single twisted pair, 120 ohms characteristic impedance, 36 to 45pF per metre capacitance between conductors.
The Comms cable must be organised as a bus topology. That is, starting at one end, devices are connected to it until the other end of the cable is reached. No “stubs” are allowed. To connect a device to the cable, a cut is made in the cable at the point where the device is to be situated along it. Then, the two new ends of the cable are wired into the device. The shields from the two new ends are then terminated into the terminals marked SHLD1 and SHLD2 respectively. Refer to the Genesis System Network Installation Instructions for further
