The SE-001 is a device that can be used to extend a standard COM port or a USB serial port over long distances, up to 4000’, over a high speed RS-485 link. The device does not alter the data in any way, but does allow for different baud rates and port settings for each connection.
LEDs: LEDs are numbered left to right. 1. RS485: Flashes on RS485 data traffic 2. RS232: Flashes on RS232 data traffic 3. USB: Flashes on USB data traffic 4. CPU: Flashes when powered on and operating normally Dip Switch: Down is active, up is inactive. They are numbered left to right, and the number is under the switch. 1: Device A or B Implements the correct crossover between the devices that are linked.
To use, set both devices to TEST mode by setting dip switch 3 down, and connect and power the devices via the RS485 cable. The RS485 LED will be solid on during TEST mode. Each device will send a packet every .5s. The receive device will flash the USB LED when it receives the packet, and the TEST device will flash the RS232 LED when it sends the data.
