Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the BTS-1000A Bluetooth to Serial Adapter. The
BTS-1000A replaces standard RS-232 cables by utilizing Bluetooth wireless
technology. The BTS-1000A uses standard RS-232 interface, so it can be easily
adapted for industrial machines with RS-232 connection.The BTS-1000A is fully
compatible with Bluetooth v2.0 and is backward compatible with v1.1/1.2 devices.
With the BTS-1000A, you can easily connect your computers (Master) to RS-232
devices (Slave) 100 meters away without needing cables in your working
environments.
The BTS-1000A uses the frequency hopping and 128bit encryption in the 2.4 GHz
frequency range to ensure a secure connection.Configuration and setup is very
simple with the BTS-1000A.Once paired, a pair of BTS-1000A will try to
automatically connect when powered on. The BTS-1000A does not require
driver installation or extra software to operate.

BTS-1000A Product View
DC-In Power Outlet
The BTS-1000A Bluetooth to Serial Adapter is powered by a single 5V DC
(Inner positive / outer negative) power supply and 200mA of current. A
suitable power supply adapter is included in the packaging. Connect the
power line to the power connector next to the antenna connector and plug
the power adapter into a power outlet. If power is properly supplied, the
red LED will turn on.

Antenna Connector
The antenna connector is a standard Reverse SMA jack.The 2.0 dBi
dipole antenna has 50 Ohms impedance and can support 2.4GHz frequency.
(The Antenna is changeable for higher gain Antennas)
Serial I/O Port of RS-232
Connect the serial I/O RS-232 connector into devices like computers and
other serial devices. (RS-232 RX/TX has been CROSSED OVER)
Synchronous Button
The Sync button is used to synchronize BTS-1000A devices using the BT
RS232 Config Tool software. After setting the desired parameters and
clicking the “Connect” button in the BT RS232 Config Tool software, use any
point tip to push this button (located on the left side of the device)
immediately. You will see the “Connect” button turn into “Disconnect”,
which means you successfully activated the device.

Power indicator (When the power is on, the red color LED stay lit.
Green Color LED
：
Before connecting to synchronize between the device and the BT RS232
Config Tool software, the green LED will be blinking.
After connecting to synchronize between the device and the BT RS232
Config Tool software, the green & red LED will blink alternately.

connect the DC power adapter jack into a power outlet and DC-in outlet.
You will see the red LED turn on and the green LED will blink.
2. After running the BT RS232 Config Tool and finishing configurations. Click
“Connect” and press the Sync button on the BTS-1000A Bluetooth adapter
immediately.
3. The green LED will turn on. The BTS-1000A Bluetooth adapter is now
active.

BT RS232 Config Tool Installation & Setup
When setting up the BTS-1000A adapter for the first time, you have to install and
run the BT RS232 Config Tool (BT1.EXE) first in your computer device. The utility
CD is enclosed in the packaging. Before you use the BTS-1000A adapter, you
have to pair the unit with another BTS-1000A device.
All BTS-1000A Bluetooth to Serial Adapters must be configured first before using.
The purpose of configuration is to pair the two BTS-1000A devices for an
exclusive connection between them. Pairing is done by utilizing a Bluetooth
address and PIN code.
Tool Installation
When setting up the BTS-1000A adapter for the first time, you have to install
the BT RS232 Config Tool utility software in your computer first which is an
executable program in Windows 32-bit environments. The config tool is
used to detect and setup the BTS-1000A.

10
BT RS232 Config Tool Parameter Configuration
Running the BT RS232 Config Tool, the configuration screen will
pop-up as depicted above.
A. COM Port
Select a COM Port number, you have to avoid the ports that conflict
with other devices in your computer and only use available ports.
B. Device Name
Select a Device Name to identify each device.
C. Local Address
The Local Address will be automatically changed after finishing the
parameter configuration.
D. Peer Address
The Peer Address is used for two or more devices to communicate in
the same network address.

11
E. PIN Code
The PIN Code is used for security like a pass key. The device uses
this “PIN Code” to identify itself when connecting and establishing
communication.
F. Role
The Role is used to identify the role of the device as either a master or
slave. When the “Role” is set to “Master”, the device will function in
DTE mode - Data Terminal Equipment (e.g. a PC).If the “Role” is
set to “Slave”, the device will function in DCE mode - Data
Communication Equipment (e.g. a Modem).
G. Discoverable
The Discoverable option is used to either allowing or disallow the
device from being detected by other Bluetooth devices.
H. Baud Rate
The Baud Rate option is used for setting transmission speed. The
Baud Rate ranges from 1200bps ~ 115.2Kbps depending on
transmission distance and environments. Normally, the Baud Rate is
set at around 9600 bps 8, 1, N.
I. Handshake(DSR/DTR)
The default setting for Handshake is set to “Disable.”
J. Stop Bit
The default setting for Stop Bit is set to “One Bit.”
K. Parity
The default setting for Parity is set to “None.”

12
Apply “Connect”
After configuring the parameters, click the “Connect” button while
immediately pressing the Sync button located on the left side of the device.
On the following screen, the “Connect” button should change to
“Disconnect.” The “Read” and “Write” button will now be active on the
bottom of the BT RS232 Config Tool screen.

13
Apply “Write”
Clicking “Write” will save all parameters configured using the BT RS232
Config Tool.
Apply “Read”
Clicking “Read” will load all parameters saved previously. The local
address will be updated from the real device address initially.
