CHAPTER 3: Installation
3. Installation
This section describes the jumper and switch functions for configuring the
RS-232↔485/422 Converter. See Figure 1 on the next page for the component
locations.
To install your RS-232↔485/422 Converter:
1. Set each of the ten jumpers/switches for your application.
2. Connect the RS-232↔485/422 Converter devices together as shown in
Figures 5 through 8 (pages 23–25).
3. Apply power. (PS154 or PS154E, depending on which RS-232↔485/422
Converter you have. See Chapter 1 for more information.)
3.1 Jumper and Switch Configuration
NOTE
As you read this section, refer to Tables 1 and 2. Table 1 (page 15) lists
DCE jumper settings, and Table 2 (page 20) lists DTE jumper settings.
3.1.1 DTE/DCE C
ONFIGURATION
A DIP shunt is used to select DTE or DCE configuration. For the RS-232↔485/422
Converter to appear as a DTE device, put the DIP shunt jumper in socket XW1B.
For the RS-232↔485/422 Converter to appear as a DCE device, put the DIP shunt
jumper in socket XW1A.

Jumper W7 ties signal ground to frame ground. The position is left open at the
factory. If signal ground is to be connected to frame ground, solder a 100-ohm,
1/2-watt resistor in location W7. A wire jumper may also be used. Care must be
taken to ensure that ground circulating currents are limited to acceptable levels.

Jumper W8 selects half-duplex or full-duplex operation. Set W8 to the HALF
position (B-C position) for half-duplex operation. Set W8 to the FULL position
(A-B position) for full-duplex operation.
