Application
The converter CRS-50 is used to link an instrument net RS-485 to an
interface RS-232 of the PC.

Electrical test

Test voltage:
UAX = 2060Vca/Vcc = 1,5kV/1 min. 60Hz
between auxiliary power supply and others
Test voltage:
UAX = 85265Vca/90300Vcc = 2,5kV/1 min. 60Hz
Between auxiliary power supply and others

Construction and mounting

* The maximum length is 1200 meters and it is possible to use up to
31 devices at the network.
*In case of shielded cable, connect one side of it to ground.

Additional Information

The following items contain tips and cautions to be observed

by the user for a good functional performance, as well as the
maintenance of the instrument and the safety of the
installations.

Cautions
Uax=Power supply
Connector DB9 connected to PC

Be sure that the voltage and current to be connected to the

instrument, are compatible.
Loosen all connections from the instrument before removing
it from the installation.

Mounting Instructions

Dimensional
Dimensions in mm

Observe the ambient temperature range. At the place of

installation, values for vibration, dust, dirt and humidity,
which must remain between the limits, established by the
protection class of the housing and the climatic group,
specified in this data sheet, have to be observed.

For mounting on DIN rail, use the snap-in device on the rear of the
instrument.
The connections can be made with pin for shaped cable shoes.

Instructions for Use

When connections have been made, switch on the power

supply and check at the output the functioning of the
transducer
