Overview English
The LINDY RS232 <> 422/485 interface converter is an optically isolated
bi-directional converter. It converts full or half-duplex serial RS232C
signals to optically isolated, balanced, full or half duplex RS422 or RS485
signals at baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. It suppresses surges from the
RS422/485 lines. It has built-in photoelectric isolators for high voltage
(3500VRMS 500VDC) protection. A rapid transient voltage suppressor
circuit can protect up to a certain level of lightning (600W) and 15kV
ESD.
It features send data control circuitry so no software control of handshake
lines is required in RS485 mode. It provides Point-to-Point, Multi-Drop
(up to 32 devices) and Simplex Operation and can be powered from a
DC 9V to 12V > 200mA power adapter.
A single slide switch is used to configure to either RS422 or RS485
mode. Support for both half duplex and full duplex, latter only for 4 wire
transmissions. RS422/485 connection cable can be attached either by an
RJ11 cable or via the screw terminal block.
Another slide switch configures the unit for either DTE or DCE mode.

• Switch the converter either to DTE or DCE mode
o Switch to DCE position if the converter is connected to a PC
serial port (DTE interface definition); switch to DTE position if it is
connected to other RS-232 devices (DCE interface definition).
When the toggle switch on the left of the converter is on DCE
position, the inner definition of DB9 female RS232 interface is:
PIN2 is TXD, PIN3 is RXD. When the toggle switch on its left is
on DTE position, the inner definition of DB9 female RS232
interface is: PIN2 is RXD, PIN3 is TXD.
• Connect the power supply
• Connect the RS422/482 connection cable according to the above
schematics. Use UTP twisted pair cable to achieve optimum data
transmission.
• 3x LED status information:
TD: yellow = transmit / sending data active
RD: green = receiving data active
PW: red = power OK

Recycling Information
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment),
Recycling of Electronic Products
United Kingdom
In 2006 the European Union introduced regulations (WEEE) for the collection and
recycling of all waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is no longer permitted to
simply throw away electrical and electronic equipment. Instead, these products must enter
the recycling process.
Each individual EU member state has implemented the WEEE regulations into national
law in slightly different ways. Please follow your national law when you want to dispose of
any electrical or electronic products.
More details can be obtained from your national WEEE recycling agency.
Germany
Die Europäische Union hat mit der WEEE Direktive umfassende Regelungen für die
Verschrottung und das Recycling von Elektro- und Elektronikprodukten geschaffen. Diese
wurden im Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz - ElektroG in deutsches Recht umgesetzt.
Dieses Gesetz verbietet das Entsorgen von entsprechenden, auch alten, Elektro- und
Elektronikgeräten über die Hausmülltonne! Diese Geräte müssen den lokalen
Sammelsystemen bzw. örtlichen Sammelstellen zugeführt werden! Dort werden sie
kostenlos entgegen genommen. Die Kosten für den weiteren Recyclingprozess übernimmt
die Gesamtheit der Gerätehersteller.
France
En 2006, l'union Européenne a introduit la nouvelle réglementation (DEEE) pour le
recyclage de tout équipement électrique et électronique.
Chaque Etat membre de l’Union Européenne a mis en application la nouvelle
réglementation DEEE de manières légèrement différentes. Veuillez suivre le décret
d’application correspondant à l’élimination des déchets électriques ou électroniques de
votre pays.
Italy
Nel 2006 l’unione europea ha introdotto regolamentazioni (WEEE) per la raccolta e il
riciclo di apparecchi elettrici ed elettronici. Non è più consentito semplicemente gettare
queste apparecchiature, devono essere riciclate.
Ogni stato membro dell’ EU ha tramutato le direttive WEEE in leggi statali in varie misure.
Fare riferimento alle leggi del proprio Stato quando si dispone di un apparecchio elettrico
o elettronico.
Per ulteriori dettagli fare riferimento alla direttiva WEEE sul riciclaggio del proprio Stato.
