   The following table is FourStar electronic use different gain antenna measured distance from the Bluetooth communication:

Need to note is that data in a table is in open zone environment measured, Indoors or have a barrier of circumstances, the Bluetooth communication range has a larger decrease, the actual situation is complex, needs to be measured according to a live environment.

Actual application should reduce barrier, maximize pairing two Bluetooth module

Mutual “can see” visible. As far as possible don't install a product metal in order to prevent signal inside the cabinet is shielded, can use electric cable blue tooth string is proper to go together with machine derivation of the gearing is in the cabinet outside, or use sucker antenna to arrive antenna derivation to outside in the cabinet.

Indicator light: the product palette with four LED indicators, the status of its work as follows:

RS232 outlet： RS232 receptacle for the standard DB9M needle seat, its signal is defined as follows:

RS485/422 and power terminals: for the European3.81 plug-in terminals whose signal is defined as follows:

RS232 outlet (DB9M) signal definition RS485/422 Terminal signals defined

when users choose to use RS232、 RS485、RS422 one of three interfaces, you can then use direct wiring, and do not need to switch or jumper settings for trouble, such as internal logic will automatically identify which interface you are using, this is a major characteristic of the product.

If RS485/422 the cable length exceeded 50m required in the bus only one installation of a 120 terminal resistor, Europe will not repeat them here, users can have access to Fourstar electronic RS485-related product information or refer to EIA-RS485 standard specification.

Mode selection switches: of the switch selectable FS-BT485A ' second work mode:

DATA mod:  data transfer mode, i.e. the Bluetooth serial port adapter's normal working mode.

SET mod:  parameters setup mode, set the software on at this time using FS-BT485A conducted parameter settings.

FS-BT485A The settings and used

FS-BT485A a “ 1 master a from ” pairing use ,before using conducted according to the fact that you want the parameter settings, regarding the data read with the product CD in the Bluetooth serial port setting software BT232Set use statements documentation and setting software from the official website of the four star electronic download. The following an instance to illustrate how to set up and use.

       Suppose you have A、B of the two pieces of equipment  RS232 or RS485 or RS422 be used between interface for data communication cables, and its serial baud rate to 115.2Kbps , data format:8 data bit, no parity bit, 1 a stop bit (" 8N1 ), are required to get rid of the cable into the Bluetooth wireless transmission of data shown in the following figure:

To FS-BT485A mode selection switch dial to “set ”, with the product's serial cable connection FS-BT485A and computer RS232 serial port, use BT232Set Settings software on the second FS-BT485A make the following settings:

Connection A devices FS-BT485A Set the as follows:

       The master device

    Bind an address from = ends as from the device's Bluetooth module addresses (you can first by the settings are read from the software) from the device

PIN = 00000000 codes (or other numbers, but must be bound by the from the device the same for the PIN code linking) paired

    Baud rate of = 115200

    Parity bit= NENO no

    Stop bits = 1

    The device name = FOURSTAR (can be set up a device name you like)

    Cancel serial tips

Connection B devices FS-BT485A Set the as follows:

       From the device

PIN = 00000000 codes (or other numbers, but must be the master device is the same as PIN to pairing establish codes)

    Baud rate of = 115200

    Parity bit= NENO no

    Stop bits = 1

    The device name = FOURSTAR (can be set up a device name you like)

    Cancel serial tips

Is set on completion, will second FS-BT485A mode selection switch dial to “data ” location, Bluetooth master device will automatically locate, paired and connected equipment from the end of the binding; but the Bluetooth device is always in standby mode, waiting for the master device-side sponsor find, pairing and connections, this process takes about 2～5 seconds, while blue indicator link Flash. Once you master-slave module connection is successful, indicator becomes a link-on, when the master-slave Bluetooth module just like a conductor, built in this State called “built chain  ” .The second after the chain Bluetooth module can be carried out between serial ports of bi-directional data transfer transparent serial port, and do not need to modify the original device communication protocols and software.

A Bluetooth master device works only with an address to which it is binding and PIN code built from the device with the same, so each chain of production chain pairing a Bluetooth module and other kin chain pairings effect between Bluetooth modules, just like a different cable!

       In fact two Bluetooth module can be set to different baud rate and data formats, as long as the guarantee Bluetooth and connect serial baud rate and data of the same format, use Bluetooth serial port adapter of this, the available second FS-BT485A composition baud rate converter or serial port parameters converter. You can apply different baud rate, and serial data format of the device is attached to the same RS485 network.

Other applications diagram

RS485 multipoint networking communication:

       traditional slave RS485 netting multipoint communication, as shown in the following figure, the main station take the initiative to send commands calls each from station, have received from the station master station with a command and related to themselves the address of the internal setting, if they are equal compare the main station from the station and for data transfer, if not equal answer from the station shall withhold.

       Use FS-BT485A to implement RS485 Bluetooth wireless multipoint networking communication plan, as shown in the following figure, this scenario than Bluetooth itself achievable 1 master bind 7 from the multipoint communication scenarios clearer and easy to use, each pair binds pairing FS-BT485A effects between, that is bind pairing a Bluetooth module after like a between conductors. This scenario does not need to change the original RS485 communications protocols and software, and RS485 site quantity is not restricted, and the same original cable communications.
