THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE PROLON PL-485-BT. The PL-485-BT is a Bluetooth 4.0 to RS485 converter. Its main purpose is to wirelessly transmit the messages generated by the ProLon Focus software via Bluetooth to a standard RS485 network. This allows any smartphone or tablet to view and configure a ProLon Control System directly, without requiring Wi-Fi or Ethernet access to the system.
Bluetooth 4.0 LE connections only and cannot connect over USB. The PL-485-BT is the ideal tool for contractors and end users due to its simplicity and ease of use. The PL-485-BT can be used as a portable, battery-powered communication tool, or it can be fixed in place and powered via USB for permanent installation.
