485BAT3-3903-1/2
Model 485BAT3
Battery Powered RS-232 to RS-422/485 Converter CE
Model 485BAT3 features power versatility, making it perfect for field testing solutions. It converts unbalanced RS-232 signals to balanced RS-422 or RS485 signals. RS-485 is an enhanced version of the RS-422 standard, allowing multiple drivers and receivers on a two-wire system.
Power
The 485BAT3 can be powered in three ways: batteries, port powered, or power supply. Use the battery power option when you have a low power RS-232 port (found on many laptops today) or no handshake lines or when it is inconvenient to use a power supply.
