Connecting Over USB
(Windows Only)
The PL-485-BT requires drivers on the computer for it to function. The
drivers are included along with the Prolon Focus Application. If your
computer still cannot locate the drivers, please direct it to manually
search in the Prolon installation folder, in the 'Drivers' subfolder.
Power & Charging
The PL-485-BT is equipped with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. It
charges via the USB port. It is also equipped with an ON/OFF button.
The switch must be in the ON position for the converter to operate as
a communications device (Bluetooth or USB). When the converter is
not being used, switch to the OFF position to conserve battery life. The
converter's battery can still be charged even when the switch is in the
OFF position.
Upon Power-Up, the POWER LED will be ORANGE for a brief period
of time (approx. 45 sec) while the battery level is being calculated
internally. After this period, the POWER LED will be:
• Blinking RED when USB unplugged
• Solid RED when USB plugged and charging
• Solid GREEN when USB plugged and the battery has been fully
charged

polarity on the RS485 bus, using appropriate RS485 cabling. Connect
the GND screw terminal to RS485 GND reference as needed.
