Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of XC4130 as the Bluetooth to Serial Adapter.
Featuring Bluetooth wireless technology, it is for replacement of standard RS232
cable perfectly, with standard RS232 interface, so it can be easily adopted for
industrial machines with RS232 interface. XC4130 is compatible with all Bluetooth
V.2.0-certified and is backward compatible with v1.1/1.2 devices. You can connect
your computers (Master) with RS232 devices (Slave) 100 meters away without
cables in your working environments.
Security of Bluetooth wireless communication is very strong because it uses the
frequency hopping and 128bit encryption in 2.4Ghz frequency range. Hardware
setting is very easy and simple. The maintenance is very convenient, too. One
pair of XC4130 will try to connect automatically whenever powered on after
finishing the device’s parameters configured. It does not require extra software for
operation. No installation of driver and application software needed.

Antenna Connector
The connector for antenna is standard Reverse SMA jack. Simply connect
to 2.0dBi dipole antenna and 50 Ohms impedance which can support
2.4GHz frequency. (The Antenna is changeable for high gain Antenna.)
Serial I/O Port of RS-232
Connect the serial I/O RS-232 port into the device as computers and serial
devices. (RS-232 RX/TX has been CROSS OVER)
Set-up Button
The purpose is for synchronizing between XC4130 device and “BT RS232
Config Tool” software. After finishing setup parameter of “BT RS232 Config
Tool” software, when you click icon of “Connect” in “BT RS232 Config Tool”
software, please use any point tip to push this button immediately on left
side of device. The icon of “Connect” will turn into “Disconnect” which
means the device is activated successfully.

LED Indicators
Red Color LED：
Power indicator
(When power on, the red color LED will be on all the time.)
Green Color LED：
Before connecting to synchronize between device and “BT RS232 Config
Tool” software, the green LED will be blinking.
After connecting to synchronize between device and “BT RS232 Config
Tool” software, the green & red LED will be blinking alternately.

XC4130 Hardware Installation
1. Connect XC4130 Bluetooth adapter to COM Port of PC and then to connect
DC power adapter and jack into power outlet and DC-in outlet. You will see
the red LED is going to be on and the green LCD will be blinked.
2. After running the BT RS232 Config Tool and finish configuration. Click the
icon of “Connect” in tool software and press the SET-UP button of XC4130
Bluetooth adapter immediately.
3. The green LED will be turn on. The E-BT232 Bluetooth adapter will be
activated. There are two types of RS232 devices in field. One is DTE - Data
Terminal Equipment (such as PC) and the other one is DCE - Data
Communication Equipment (such as Modem). You can setup your E-BT232
device as what type of the RS232 device you are going to connect in DTE or
DCE mode to work with it.
At DCE device side is meaning to connect DTE E-BT232 to the remote DCE
RS232 device (such as Modem). On the contrary, DTE device side to connect
DCE E-BT232 of any DTE device, such as computer device. For example,
you can connect remote modem with DTE E-BT232 and meanwhile at PC
side, you can either connect DCE E-BT232.

BT RS232 Config Tool Installation & Setup
When setting up XC4130 adapter for the first time, you have to install and run
“BT1.exe” as “BT RS232 config tool” first in your computer device. The utility CD
is enclosed in the device box. Before using XC4130 adapter, you have to pair it
with another E-BT232 device.
All the XC4130 Bluetooth to RS-232 Adapters must be configured before using.
The purpose of configuration is to pair two XC4130 devices for an exclusive
connection between them and pairing done by utilizing Bluetooth address and PIN
code.
l Tool Installation
When setting up XC4130 adapter for the first time, please install the utility
software of “BT RS232 config tool” first which is an executable program in
Windows 32 bit environments. XC4130 config tool is used to detect and

Equipment (such as PC). If the item of “Role” is “Slave” and device will
play like DCE - Data Communication Equipment (such as Modem).
You can setup your E-BT232 device as the type of RS232 device you
are going to connect in DTE or DCE mode to work with.
G. Discoverable
The item of discoverable is for allowing (or not) the device detected by
other Bluetooth devices.
H. Baud Rate
The item of baud rate is for the pack transmission speed. The baud
rate range from 1200 bps〜115.2K bps and depend on transmission
distance and environments. Normally, the parameter of baud rate is
sat around 9600 bps N, 8, 1.
I. Handshake(DSR/DTR)
The item of handshake sat at the “Disable” item.
J. Stop Bit
The item of stop bit sat at the “One Bit” item.
K. Parity
The item of parity sat at the “None” item.
