  • Isolated interface converter for RS232 to RS422 (4-wire, full-duplex) point-to-point communications, at distances up to 4000 ft. and data rates up to 115.2Kbps.

  • Galvanic (Opto/Xformer) Isolation helps eliminate noise, and protects equipment from destructive transients found in industrial applications.

General Description:

The IRS422 is an Async bi-directional RS232 to RS422 interface converter for 4-wire RS485/RS422 applications (full-duplex point-to-point). The unit has fixed light bias on the RS485/RS422 receiver, jumper selectable termination, and RS232 DTE/DCE selection. The unit has 3 LED indicators, screw terminals, and an onboard switching regulator. The unit will operate at speeds up to 115.2Kbps.

The IRS422 is designed for office and/or isolated industrial applications, and is used for 4-wire full-duplex, point-to-point applications (remote sign control, RS232 "extension core"). The IRS422 can be used in outdoor applications; however, many factors can affect reliable operations. Please call for additional information and/or peruse our Fiber Optic product line (compatible with our "copper" converters).

Need something special? Please contact us. We have additional isolated and non-isolated converters, repeaters, and repeater hubs. Units are generally stock to 2-3 business days for shipment. We design and manufacturer our entire product line, and offer technical support for our units, and can offer system recommendations for your application. Please give us a call: 513-874-4796
