1. General information about the product
1.1. Purpose of the product
1.1.1. The converter RS-BL (hereinafter referred to as the converter) is intended for
tuning the communication interfaces of the detector and control panel when adjusting and
testing the detector’s operability.
The converter is designed for interoperability with the FMC series detectors devices
(and Tribo-M detector over the wire communication line only).
A personal computer (PC) or an Android based device may be used as the control
panel.
1.1.2. The converter consists of two independent converters:
- Converter RS-485 in a USB (hereinafter referred to as RS), ensuring the connection
of the detector to the PC or Android device over the wire communication line;
- Converter RS-485 in Bluetooth (BL), ensuring the connection of the detector to the
Android device over the wireless network.
1.1.3. The RS power supply is provided from the PC’s or Android device’s USB port.
1.1.4. The BL power supply is provided from the embedded lithium polymer battery or
from an external AC power source.
A standard 5V network adapter or the PC’s USB port may be used for charging the
battery.

1.3. Completeness
1.3.1. The full set of delivery of the transformer is provided in Table 2
Table 2 – The delivery set
1.4. Installation and operation
1.4.1. The converter’s operation principle
The RS converter converts the electrical and time-based characteristics of the RS-485
interface into the signals of the universal consecutive bus of the USB.
The BL converter transforms the electrical and time-based characteristics of the RS-
485 interface into signals of the Bluetooth wireless personal network.
2. Operating instructions
2.1 . Structure
2.1.1. The view of the transformer’s front and back panels is shown on the figure
below.

2.1.3. The RS converter’s light indicators show the following information:
- The connection of the RS to the PC is indicated by triple synchronous flashes of both
indicators;
- The rare flashes of both indicators show the receipt and transmission of data along the line
of interface RS-485.
2.1.4. The light indicators of converter RS-BL show the following information:
– RS – shows the exchange of data along the line of interface RS-485 (rare flashing
indicates the absence of connection to the RS-485, constant lighting means the proper
connection to the RS-485):
– BL - shows the exchange of data along the Bluetooth line interface (rare flashing
indicates the absence of connection to Bluetooth, constant lighting means the proper
connection to Bluetooth).
The proper power supply to BL is indicated by periodic synchronous flashings of
both indicators (in case of absence of exchange along the respective lines).
During the battery’s discharge the RS and BL indicators are lighted in succession.
2.1.5. The CHG light indicator of the charging device (the red indicator) reflects
the state of the battery during the charging (if the light is constantly on – the battery is under
charging, if the light turns off – the charging is completed).
2.2. The converter’s operation
2.2.1. For wireless connection of the Android control panel to the detector it is
necessary to do the following:
- Connect the FMC – RS cable (it is applied in a set) to the “А-В” terminals of the BL
converter (a red wire – A, black – B);
- Connect the plug of the FMC – RS cable to the signalling device’s RS-485 socket:
- Power up the converter by pushing the power button;
- Turn on the Android application, search for the RS 485-BL*** (serial number on the
product case) device and establish the connection.
The BL indicator must turn on.

2.2.2. While the battery is being discharged, the indicators RS and BL will light in
succession.
In order to avoid deep discharge of the battery and, as the consequence, reduction of
its life cycle, it is necessary to disconnect the battery (press the button one more time). If it is
necessary to continue the operation, the power should be provided to the terminals as per
Paragraph 2.2.3.
In order to charge the battery, it is necessary to connect the standard +5V network
adapter with the permissible current load no less than 500 мА.
After the charging is completed, the CHG will turn off.
2.2.3. It is possible to feed the converter from an external source of 8…30 V. The
external source must be connected to the terminals “ + ” and ” – “.
2.2.4. For connecting the control panel to the detector with the help of wire connection
it is necessary to do the following:
- Connect the FMC – RS cable (it is applied in a set) to the RS converter’s terminals
“a-b” (a red wire – a, black – b);
- Connect the plug of the FMC – RS cable to the detector’s RS-485 socket;
- Connect the micro USB – USB cable to the socket of the USB converter RS-USB;
- Connect the opposite cable plug to the PC’s USB port or to the Android device;
- Wait till the drive activates (working with “Windows”);
- Activate the application.
