U-485G USB Installation and User Manual

Software Installation:

- Support Windows 2000/XP


- USB V.1.1 and USB CDC V1.1
- USB supply power for the converter
- 300bps~1Mbps, auto tuning
- Every PC support 1 U-485G

Installation of USB Converter:


1) Insert the Drive CD-Rom into the CD-Rom Drive
2) Plug in the converter into your computer’s USB port
3) Your computer system will ask you for this device’s driver location. Please point the location
of the driver file as the CD-Rom
4) Computer system will update the driver list and install the USB converter automatically.
This will create a virtual com port on your PC. When USB converter is connected to
computer, the USB port is there.
5) To check if the USB converter is installed successfully or not, please follow the next step.
1) go to your computer’s Control Panel
2) click on System
3) click on Hardware
4) click on Device Manager
5) click on Ports (COM & LPT)
6) while there, unplug the USB device you just installed. If a Comp Port disappear under
the Port (COM & LPT), then you installed the USB converter successfully. Make sure to
note which COM # is the USB converter.

Uninstall the USB Converter;


1) unplug the USB converter from the computer
2) got to Add and Remove Software panel from your Control panel. Choose
“FOURSTAR USB Serial Converter Drivers” and click on Remove.

Converter Application:
U-485G can be used in point to point or to multiple point network. Beside can
connection to other RS-485/422 connection, it can also connection up to 32 PC’s USB
converter to make a RS-485/422 network.

2 Wire Half Duplex RS-485 Network:


On U-485G converter, switch the dip switch K1 to “485”. The Network starting and
terminating resistor K2 should be on “R”. Other U-485G converter in the network
Terminating resistor K2 should be “OFF”. Please see below picture.

4 Wire Full Duplex RS-422 Network

On U-485G converter, switch the dip switch K1 to “422”. The Network starting and
terminating resistor K2 should be on “R”. Other U-485G converter in the network
Terminating resistor K2 should be “OFF”. Please see below picture.

Notes:
1) For wiring, wire diameter should be more than 0.5m or above, should have at least

120ohm resistance.
2) The length of the cable from point to point should not be longer than 15M.
3) When using U-485G and other RS485/422 connection, pls make sure the last
RS485/422 device use a 120ohm terminating resistor and two 1K resistor. Please see
the below picture.
