Supports both the Genesis II DDC (Digital Direct Controller), MPC II (Mid Points Controller) and other RS485 network devices.
Provides remote network dial in access via modem.
Operates on 9VAC, 9VDC or 2x AA Alkaline cells.
All wire connections by removable terminals.
LED indication of network traffic and battery condition.
Auto Power-up when communication initiated and Auto Power-Down when finished.
Auto Battery-Disconnection when external power applied.

The GenII Converter NT 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.

Power Supply

2 x AA Alkaline Batteries or
9VAC ±10% @ 50/60Hz or
9VDC ±10%
Power Consumption: 0.8W Max.

The operating voltage must meet the requirements of Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) to EN60730. The transformer used must be a Class 2 safety transfomer that has the energy and voltage limiting characteritics as described in the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70. It must also be sized and fused in compliance with local safety regulations.

Battery Life Expectancy: 6 hours continuous activation.
Note: Battery life is dependent on the amount of time that the unit is actually communicating. The unit only consumes power during periods when data is being transferred.
