The IC-485S and IC-485SI are a series of a
rectional interface converters for RS-232 and
bi-di-
RS-
485. The IC-485SI has built-in isolators for high
voltage
(2OOOV)
ic-485s & IC-485SI,
protection. With the IC-485 series,
it provides Point-to-Point,
Multidrop and Simplex operations. The IC-485s
provides an extra Monitoring function.
The IC-485 can be powered from the following two
ways:
1)
a DC
9V, 2OOmA
power adapter
2) the pin #9 of the RS-232 connecter
Two slide switches are used to configure its op-
eration mode, contention control, and assignment of
the RS-232. Following figure is the IC-485’s exter-
nal view.

2-1 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Before installing the IC-485 you will need a
wire cable. This cable must go from your location to
the place you want to connect to.
Installation Procedure:
1
Before installing the IC-485 to the PC, decide
one of the 6 possible configurations suitable
for your application. Please check Chapter 3
OPERATION for correct slide switch settings
and phone wires connection, then connect
IC-
485 to the PC.
For IC-485SI: Connect a wire from the
Grounding Tab to the earth
ground.
2.
Turn on PCs.
3.
Insert the adapter’s plug into the POWER
JACK in the right side.
4.
Plug the power adapter into an AC outlet. The
unit is now ready for operation.
