1Introduction
IPEX PH422REPi™ is a RS-422 Repeater and Amplifier. If it is needed to have RS-422 network with more than
1200m length or to have more than 32 nodes, using a PH422REPi™ helps you to increase the network length up
to 2400m and also to have up to 64 devices connected to it. PH422REPi™ is compatible with RS-422 standard
devices differential TX+, TX-, RX+ and RX- signals and is fully Plug & Play. It works with a wide range of +10V up
to +30V DC power supply with low (about 45mA) consumption. PH422REPi™ is designed for industrial usage
and is useful for Industrial Automation, Telecommunications, SCADA Systems, and DCS Systems …
Protection against Surge, ESD and EMI is considered in its design and also has 3kV isolation between RS-422
sides. PH422REPi™ is Full-Duplex converter and supports Point-to-Point and Multidrop RS-422 network
topologies.

2) Installation CD-ROM
3) #2 Phonix 7Pin Green terminals
NOTE: Notify your sales representative if any of the above items is missing or damaged.
4Top Panel
Green LED: It is turned ON, when the power supply connects to +VS and GND correctly.
Yellow LED: It is blinking if there is a data stream from right to left side of the repeater.
Blue LED: It is blinking if there is a data stream from left to right side of the repeater.
5Power Supply
Connect a DC voltage in range of +10V to +30V, between +VS and GND terminals. If the power supply connects
correctly, the Green LED should be ON.
NOTE: It is not required to connect GND signal from one side to GND signal of other side.
