The CVT-232B-3
is a
compact, rugged, industrial-grade,
port-powered, 7-wire RS-232 Isolator. The unit
optically isolates
seven (7) RS-232 lines (TX,
RX, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR and GND),
which effectively protects your RS-232 devices from
ground
loops, noise problems, transient surges, remote lightning and spikes.
This
industrial 7-wire RS232 isolator
operates within a
temperature range of -40ºF to 185ºF (-40ºC to 85ºC),
and features 600W surge protection and 15kV static
protection.
The
unit is efficiently powered from the RS232 data line, it requires no
external power or software drivers, making the unit a
highly reliable and truly plug-and-play device
and an ideal solution for all types of installations.
The unit is
backed by our 30-day risk-free money-back guarantee and
5-year replacement warranty.
Baud
rates: 300 to 19.2K Baud.

TROUBLESHOOTING 7-WIRE RS232 OPTO-ISOLATOR
Loopback Test

- Connect the female
connector end of the isolator to your PC’s COM port and
connect the other end (male connector) to another of
your PC’s COM ports with a null-modem converter (or
connect pin 2 to 3, pin 3 to 2, pin 4 to 6, pin 6 to 4,
pin 7 to 8, pin 8 to 7, and pin 5 to 5 between the male
connector and your PC's RS232 connector).
- Run two instances
of the
232Analyzer FREE
version software on your computer.
-
Select "ASCII" for both the Send and Receive data
formats. Then send command and/or string such as
"CommFront" from one COM port. You should receive an
echo of the command/string sent ("CommFront") on the
other COM port. By performing a simple loopback test
like this, you can test both the transmitter and
receiver of the isolator. This is very helpful when you
are in doubt about the performance of your isolator.

Screenshot 1: Send
commands/signals from 1st instance of the 232Analyzer
software.

Screenshot 2: Receive
commands/signals from 2nd instance of the 232Analyzer
software.
232Analyzer is an advanced RS232 Serial Protocol Analyzer
software
that allows you to control, monitor and analyze serial port
(RS232 / RS485 / RS422 / TTL, etc.) activities.
Not just the data,
it also allows you to monitor or change RS-232's line
states: RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, and RI.

limitation) can be downloaded from
