USB TO RS232/485/TTL

User Manual

Overview

This is an industrial USB to RS232/485/TTL isolated converter with original FT232RL

inside. It features embedded protection circuits such as power isolation, ADI magnetical

isolation, and TVS diode, etc. What's more, the USB TO RS232/485/TTL comes with an

aluminium alloy enclosure, make it solid and durable to work.

The USB TO RS232/485/TTL is very easy to use, fully automatic transceiving without

delay. Due to its fast communication, stability, reliability, and safety, it is an ideal choice

for industrial control equipments and/or applications with high communication

requirement.
