{ with hardware handshake: For connecting a thermostat to the PC use 1:1 cable and not a null-
modem cable!
| without hardware handshake: the computer / PC must be set to the operating mode “without hard
ware handshake”.
− Use screened connecting cable.
− Connect screen to connector case.
− The connections are isolated from the remainder of the electronics.
− Any pins not in use must not be connected!
When a PC is connected up the RS232 interface can easily be tested using the Microsoft Windows
operating system. On Windows
®
95/ 98/ NT/ XP with the “Hyper Terminal” program.
7.15.2 Protocol RS 232
− The interface operates with one stop bit, no parity bit and 8 data bits.
− Transfer rate either 2400, 4800, 9600 (factory setting) or 19200 baud as selected.
− The RS232 interface can be operated with or without hardware handshake,
(RTS/CTS).
− The command from the computer must be terminated with CR, CRLF, or LFCR.
− The response of the thermostat is always terminated with CRLF.
CR = Carriage Return (Hex: 0D)
LF = Line Feed (Hex: 0A)
