Product Overview
Wire the 485OP
3 Set the Jumpers
Set the Jumpers for 2 or 4-wire and for baud rate. Default
on both sides is 2-Wire, 9600. If you want to set the unit
for 4-Wire or change the baud rate, you will need a screw-
driver. Remove the 4 screws and open the unit. Set jumpers
as shown below.

If you set the unit for 38.4 it will usually work at higher
baud rates. If you need a specific turnaround time go to:

Power the Unit
You can perform a loopback test by connecting the 485OP
to an RS-422 to an RS-422/485 converter, or by connect-
ing it to a USB to RS-422/485 converter.
Set the 485OP for Full duplex on both sides with the
jumpers (See step 2). Attach the 232 to 422/485 or USB
converter to 1 side of the 485OP. Jump Data In A to Data
Out A and Data in B to Data Out B on the other side
Using HyperTerminal or similar program, connect to the
appropriate COM port. Turn off Hyper Terminal local echo.
Set baud rate to 9600. Transmit data. If you can see the
data you are typing the test is successful.
