Transmit Enable mode is set at J1, with the time delay in milliseconds set at J2 if "AUTO DELAY"
mode is selected at J1-C. J2 can also set a fixed RTS/CTS delay for communications systems that
require a RS-232 RTS/CTS delay. The local (master) device will use J1-A (constant powered
drivers), and remote (slave) devices will use J1-B (RTS enables drivers).
For power cycling applications, install jumper J3, and connect TB1-3 to SBAT of the flow computer
or other control signal that provides a logic high for AON@.
Jumper J4 can be installed to provide indicator lights for troubleshooting purposes, but should be
removed during normal operation to conserve power.

For two-wire mode, connect the TX+ and TX- terminals of one RS-232 to RS-485 Converter to the TX+ and
TX- terminals of the other RS-232 to RS-485 converter. Install the following jumpers on the boards:
J1B (Drivers switched by RTS)
J5, J6 & J7 (2 Wire)
J9B at both sites, J10B at remote site & J11A at local site (DC termination)
J10 at the local site & J11 at the remote site may be removed to save power
J8 is not installed at both sites
Each end device must drive and switch the RS-232 signal RTS as this is a half-duplex or simplex mode.

1.2.9 Application #9 - Four-Wire Multidrop System via Modem with Power Cycling
A four-wire full-duplex multidrop system is shown in Figure 1.2.9. This configuration can be used with
Thermo Scientific V.22/212A Modems. Where it is desirable to conserve power at the remote sites (power
cycle mode) the RTS and DCD lines are connected as shown. Signal RTS at the master converter board
(modem end) is used to Awake-up@ the slave converter boards (flow computer or RTU) when connected as
input to DCD at all remote sites. The RS-485 TX signals at the master converter are connected to the RS485 RX signals at the slave converters. The RS-485 TX signals at each slave converter board are connected
to the RS-485 RX signals at the master converter board. Install the following jumpers:
J1B (Drivers switched by RTS)
J8B, J9B & J11B at master site (DC termination)
J8B, J9B & J10B at last slave site, J8, J9 & J10 removed at the other slave sites (DC termination)
J10 at the master converter site & J11 at the slave converter sites may be removed to save power
Each device (Host computer, flow computer or RTU) must drive and switch the RS-232 signal RTS.

Some applications require installation of bias resistor(s) to RS-485 signal(s). This is necessary to prevent
false signals at the RS-232 interface when the RS-485 drivers on all converter boards are off.
Connect a 100 K Ohm 1/8 Watt, 1% resistor between TB1-1 (signal PWR) and TB2-1 (signal RX+) of
master converter board(s) which have the RS-232 interface connected to a modem or cell phone.
Connect a 100 K Ohm 1/8 Watt, 1% resistor between TB1-1 (signal PWR) and TB2-7 (signal RTS+) of
master converter board(s) which use the RS-485 RTS signal to wake up remote flow computers when
connected to RS-485 signal DCD.
Connect a 100 K Ohm 1/8 Watt, 1% resistor between TB1-1 (signal PWR) and TB2-5 (signal DCD+) of
the first master converter in a dual master configuration.
The 232/485 converter board has transient/ surge protection circuits, which must be grounded properly as
follows:
Connect a 14 AWG or larger stranded wire from E1 on the converter board to the enclosure unit ground
terminal.
Connect a 12 AWG or larger stranded wire from the unit unit ground terminal to the Earth Ground.
Wiring should be as short as possible.
