Principle of operation (expand/collapse)

The RCP48WU converter, due to the galvanic isolation between the computer and the network of readers, is powered from both sides. From the side of the readers (RS485), apart from the communication signals A and B, the 12V power supply is supplied – the same that supplies the main readers. On the computer side, special, energy-saving electronic systems were used, which made it possible to power this part of the reader system directly from the computer port – without the need for a separate power supply. Converter connection details – see the drawing below. In the converter operation mode, the converter works fully automatically without any service from the system operator. In the case of entering ID codes into the system, the operator’s task is to place the given identifier on the reader housing, activate the appropriate function in the RCP58 computer program and remove the identifier from the reader after a message on the screen.

Product description (expand/collapse)

The RCP48WU converter is equipped with an electronic microprocessor system. It has a built-in USB / RS485 converter. Inside the plastic housing there is an antenna for the head that reads the codes of proximity transponders. Thanks to galvanic isolation, the computer is protected against the effects of surges that may appear on the sometimes very long cables connecting the RCPX8 system readers. On the back of the housing there are two connector sockets: USB type B to the USB port in the computer and RJ12 to the LPS1 box of the RCPX8 system. The sockets with the attached cables allow you to connect the device to the computer and to the network of RCPX8 system readers safely and without mistakes .
