Initial Setup - CVX-1300 Converter
The CVX-1300 will support many different input and output formats.
The CVX-1300 replaces the CVX-1200 and many of the standard Cypress CVT series of
converters (e.g. CVT-2232 CVT-9102).
A DIP switch determines which conversion process will be used.
A “Legacy” cross reference chart is provided to quickly determine which settings to use for standard
Cypress converter numbers. In most cases several baud rate options are available to expand the
capabilities of existing converters. The Legacy cross reference chart will list the converter CVT
number and the CVX numbers and the DIP switch setting that will apply. Use the converter
numbers to find the DIP switch settings on the CVX-1300 application charts.
Setting up the CVX-1300 converter:
1. First determine which converter (conversion process) is required for the application. This may be
one of the standard Cypress converters or one of the new converters that are now part of the
CVX-1300 library. All of the different conversion processes are described in detail in this manual.
Each process will have a wiring diagram and specification sheet to describe the wiring connections
and operation.
2. Set the DIP switch to the setting called out in the CVX application chart.
3. Refer to the wiring diagram for the particular converter that is being used. The wiring diagrams
are different depending upon the type of conversion being performed.
4. Connect power to the CVX-1300 board.
5. If the diagnostic indicator LED flashes Green slowly, a valid converter number has been selected.
If the diagnostic indicator is illuminated a solid Red color, an invalid DIP switch
setting has been made.
6. Connect peripheral devices (Readers, Panel, Switches etc.) according to the appropriate wiring
diagram.
LEGACY CONVERTER EXAMPLE: You need a CVT-2232 that operates at 2400 Baud.
The Legacy Compatibility chart calls out CVX numbers 1,2, and 3.
Looking at the CVX application charts for #1,#2,and #3 lists 3 baud rates.
Selecting the 2400 Baud rate for CVX converter #2 would yield a DIP switch setting of:
1 OFF, 2 ON , 3 OFF, 4 OFF, 5 OFF, 6 OFF, 7 OFF, 8 OFF
The wiring diagram would reference the Wiegand to Serial connections.
NOTE: The CVX-1300 does not use an onboard DB type connector for RS-232 serial signals.
Serial connections can be made directly to the 12 position connector.
An optional patch cord is available with a Female DB-9 connector and flying leads.
The wiring diagrams indicate the equivalent DB-9 connections to the CVX-1300 J3 connector.
Electrical and Environmental Specifications
Temperature/Voltage de-rating curve
The CVX-1300 units should be operated with a filtered 12 Volt nominal DC supply.
Any voltage between 8 and 16 volts can be utilized by following the temperature /voltage
derating curve. Voltage should not exceed 16 VDC under normal operating conditions.

The Cypress CVX-1300 is based on the CVX-1200 series converter. For most legacy converter
functions, the DIP switch settings will be set the same as with the Cypress CVX-1200.
This document provides detailed wiring information and a reference to DIP switch settings for the
converter. Detailed conversion descriptions are provided in chapters organized for each type of
conversion function. i.e. Wiegand to Serial functions will have a chapter, Serial to Strobed will have
a chapter etc. Each chapter is a separate document and is available at www.cypressoworld.com
A Diagnostic LED is provided to provide operational status of the converter:
Diagnostic LED OFF - No power
Diagnostic LED Blinking Green - Unit is operating
Diagnostic LED Red - Undefined DIP Switch Setting
CVX-1300 Serial data and RS485
The CVX-1300 can support both RS-232 and RS-485 signals for transmitting and receiving
serial data. For most converters utilizing serial data, both interfaces are always active and may
be used by making the appropriate connections to the converter. Either the RS-232 or RS-485
interface may be used, but a loss of data will occur if both interfaces have active data at the
same time.
Examples:
The CVT-2232 function will provide a serial input and convert to a Wiegand output.
Serial data can be read from either the RS-232 or RS-485 interface. The baud rate will be
determined by the DIP switch setting.
The CVT-9110 function will provide a Wiegand input and a serial output. Serial data will be
output on the RS-232 and RS-485 interface.
NOTE: Some of the CVX-1300 converters may not support both RS-232 and RS-485
interfaces. Converters that do not support both interfaces will be noted in the specific converter
specification.
