Product Features

• This auto transmit unit features Bi-directional serial conversion from RS232 to RS485 in 2 wire half-duplex communications mode.

• Optimized for non-isolated office/indoor point to point or multi-drop systems.

• Transparent to all asynchronous data, with any combination of data, parity, and stop bits, at data rates up to 115.2Kbps. 

• Fast auto turn-around, from transmit to receive mode, requires no software delays and eliminates timing problems and data collisions. A special jumper(J9) can further shorten the turn-around time to accommodate fast responding target devices. We pioneered this leading edge technology long before our competition.

• The RS485 driver, with 22 Ohm isolation resistors and built in electro-static protection, allows 32 standard loads at 4000 ft. and data rates up to 115.2 Kbps.

• Jumpers allow the RS485 termination and bias resistors, and the RS232 DTE/DCE mode to be user configured. Jumper J10 will place the unit in Loop-back mode for self test. 

• Edge mounted LEDs display power and data activity.

• A polarity protected linear power regulator accepts supply voltages from 8 to 15 VDC, at 0.5 Watts max. 

• Broad environmental range. Temperature: -40C to +85C(-40F to +185F). Humidity: 10 to 90% RH(non-condensing)

• Four(4) easy mount through hole standoffs, which accept #6 hardware, are provided on the circuit board.

• User connections are an RJ11/12 telephone style for the RS232, a 3 pin removable screw terminal strip for the RS485 port, and a 2.1 mm barrel connector, or a 3 pin screw terminal strip for the power. Specify type of power connector when ordering.

• Accessories available are a 12VDC Switching Power Supply(Wall Wart), an enclosure, and a 7ft DB9F to RJ11/12 RS232 cable.

• Conformal Coating, cable, and connectors, are factory options. Contact us for options help.

• R E Smith also provides several functionally identical units with different connectors and LEDs: ASC24R, ASC24W, RSFC24R, RSFC24W, and ASC24TS.

• R E Smith Inc makes a wide variety of isolated converters that address the electrical noise problems that contribute to unreliable communications, and product failure.  If what you see here is not exactly what you need, don't hesitate in calling us at 513-874-4796.

• WARNING: Do NOT connect this device to a telephone system under any circumstances. Damage could result to the circuit board and/or your telephone system.

About R E Smith, Inc:

R E Smith, Inc. engineers and manufactures a comprehensive line of isolated and non-isolated converters, repeaters, multiport repeater hubs, fiber optic based products, and I/O boards. All our products are designed, built, tested, and shipped from our facility in the Greater Cincinnati Ohio area. We ship small quantities of most products from stock the same day, and larger quantities in a few business days.

We listen to you. We are customer driven. Many of our products were developed and improved due to suggestions and feedback from our word-wide customer base. They are being used at the South Pole, at the bottom of the sea, at the edge of space, and everywhere in between. Typical uses are very large networks, monitor and control of elevators, machinery, lighting, security, fire and alarm, access, cameras, military ground support, and much more. We provide free technical support, no-argument warranty repairs, and recommendations for your application. Challenge us with your communications problem. We may already have the solution. If your system keeps failing, or is unreliable, we have isolated, doubly isolated, noise resistant, cost effective, and proven solutions for difficult environments.
