Host computer

Isolated RS-232/RS-485 Converter

ADAM module

2. Install ADAM-4000-5000 utility in host computer
3.Wiring for ADAM-4000 module
Move hardware switch to Initial mode (For some older Adam models, use an exter-
nal wire to connect the INIT* terminal to the GND terminal. Booting the module
while connecting the INIT* terminal with the module's GND terminal forces the config-
uration into a known state called the INIT* state.)
INIT* state defaults:
Baud rate:
Address:
Checksum:
Forcing the module in INIT* state does not change any parameters in the module's
EEPROM. When the module is in the INIT* state with its INIT* and GND terminals
shorted, all configuration settings can be changed, and the module will respond to all
other commands normally.
Caution! Init Mode
When the switch is set to the initial mode, the module will operate with
its factory settings. (Address 0 with data format 9600, N, 8, 1).
Normal Mode
When the switch is set to the normal mode, the module will operate
with user-defined settings. A power reset will not alter these settings.
