Getting Started
1
Model 422CFCR, RS-232 to RS-422 converter converts
unbalanced RS-232 signals to balanced RS-422 signals.
The RS-422 Standard uses a balanced voltage digital
interface to allow communications of 90k bits per second on
cable lengths of 4000 feet (1200 m). Ten receivers can be
connected to any one driver for use in multi-drop systems.
Product Overview
Polarity
2
The polarity of the two RS-422 lines must be correct. With
no data being sent, the RS-232 line should be negative and
the RS-422 “A” terminal should be negative with respect to
the “B” terminal. (If your equipment uses A + and - naming
scheme, in most cases, the A line will be connected to the
“-”, and the B line will be connected to the “+”.)

Termination Resistor
3
The wire recommended in the RS-422 Standard is number
24 AWG copper conductor, twisted-pair telephone cable with
a shunt capacitance of 16pF per foot.
For long runs and/or high rates (more than 200k bits per
second), it is recommended that the wires be terminated
with a resistor at the receive end. The twisted pair usually
used has an impedance of about 100 Ohms, therefore a 100
Ohm resistor is normally used for the termination. In no case
should the resistive termination be less than 90 Ohms.
The RS-422 driver has the ability to drive 10 RS-422 receivers
connected in parallel. A system of multiple receivers may require
some experimentation with resistors, line lengths, grounding, etc.
Protective Ground
4
422CFCR Schematic Diagram
The RS-422 Standard recommends that Protective
Ground (pin 1) be connected to a good “green wire”
ground. This may be already connected in your RS-232
equipment.
Protective Ground and Signal Ground should be
connected through to each end of the system and be
connected to each other using a 100 Ohm 1/2 Watt
resistor at one end only. If a shielded twisted pair is used
the shield should be connected to Protective Ground.
