Overview
Jinou serial port adapter is an intelligent wireless data transmission product developed by our
company. It supports the latest Bluetooth 5.0 protocol specification, and the overall performance is
more optimized.
Determined by the nature of low power consumption, BLE is mainly applied in the transmission of
small amount of data, different from BR/EDR (traditional Bluetooth) characterized by voice
transmission, or Bluetooth 3.0 characterized by high-speed data transmission. In order to ensure its
low power consumption, BLE simplifies handshake protocol and reduces wake-up time, which is
quite suitable for transmission of short-time and small data.
In order to ensure low power consumption, low power consumption simplifies handshake protocol
and reduces wake - up time. In this type of data transmission, the power consumption of the low -
power Bluetooth is only one - tenth of that of the traditional Bluetooth, while in the long - time
and large - data transmission, the handshake protocol and the wake - up time account for a lower
proportion in the data amount of the entire task and the total duration, and the advantage of low
power consumption is greatly reduced.
JINOU serial adapter adopts the low - power Bluetooth scheme of TI company, and supports the
BLE mode. Can be used in applications sensitive to power consumption, such as consumer health
care, mobile accessories, sports, and health applications.
The device implements the function of data transmission through RS232 interface and remote low-
power Bluetooth, and the device contains two different working states of data mode and
configuration mode.
Communication mode: The device can be connected to the remote BLE or searched connected by
the remote BLE. After the connection is finished, it can transmit data with the remote BLE
bidirectional data.
Configuration mode: the user can configure parameters such as device name, baud rate, etc. In this
state, the device cannot be found connected.

The BLE serial adapter provides standard RS - 232 interface and support multiple serial port
modes.
The equipment RS - 232 DB9 pin is capable of power supply and can be used for user - developed
equipment. 1. pin 9 is VCC, pin 5 is GND, 6 ~ 9VDC, 100mA rated current.
Power Interface:
6 VDC, 200mA rated current; internal positive and external negative.
The positive and negative poles of the power supply cannot be reversed or the products
will be burnt out.
Indicator:

Operation Indicator
Configuration Mode Off
The Slave Device Blink once every 2 seconds
The Master Device Blink once every 5 seconds
In the parameter setting state, press the CMD button again, and the device exits the parameter
4
setting status and enters the network working state.
Indicator:
The adapter has three indicator lights, power indicator (red), main/slave mode indicator (red), and
connection indicator (green).
When the BLE adapter is powered on, the power indicator (red light) will always on.
If the master/slave mode indicator (red light) flashes every few seconds, the adapter is working
properly. The time interval between the flashing lights can be used to determine whether the
device is the master device or the slave device. If it flashes once every 2 seconds, it is the slave
device. If it flashes once every 5seconds, it is the main device.
If the connection indicator (green light) is off, it means that a connection has been established with
other Bluetooth devices. If it flashes once every 1 second, it means no connection has been
established.
When the BLE adapter is working in parameter setting mode, the master/slave mode indicator
light and connection status indicator light extinguished.
Mode switch button:
After power on, BLE adapter is in data mode, master/slave mode indicator light and connection
status indicator light flash, press the switch button of mode, the device enters the parameter setting
state, master/slave mode indicator light and connection status indicator light extinguished, and
output "+OPEN" from the serial port. In the parameter setting state, the serial port parameter
remains 9600bps, 8-n-1. The device stops the network part and turns off the wireless signal. At
this time, only the device parameters can be set.

IV.
Operation Instruction
The default setting of this device is 9600bps baud rate, 8-n-1 communication mode, no flow
control, slave device, and matching code is 000000.
If need to change parameters, user should press the mode switch button to enable the adapter to
enter the parameter setting state. The two previously blinking indicator lights are off and relevant
parameters are set through the "AT command", such as the parameters of master/slave device,
baud rate, remote address, etc.
If 2pcs adapters need to communicate, user must set one as master device and another as salve
device. User can tell roles from operation indicator light.
Note: the parameters are stored in FLASH, so the values of the parameters will remain the same
even after the power is cut, and will not be lost.
After parameter modification, short press the mode switch button again to enable the adapter to
enter data mode.
The adapter should be in data mode when powered on. For the master device, if the address has
been memorized, the master device is directly connected to the memory device, which can be
cleared by the "AT+CLEARADDR" instruction.
For slave devices, wait to be queried and connected by other devices.
If the two adapters are connected successfully, the connection status indicator (green light) is off
and the master/slave mode indicator (red light) remains flashing. At this point, the user device is
just like a serial port connection, sending and receiving data directly.
Once the device is connected, our serial port adapter will not be automatically disconnected unless
the signal is poor or the other party's Bluetooth is actively disconnected, and the connection will
remain.
Note: the following frequently asked questions section gives an important supplement to the use of
the equipment and solutions to the problems that customers usually encounter. Please read this
section carefully before using.
V.
Description of the authentication mode
The BLE serial port adapter only stores the matching information of one master device at most.
Therefore, when the authentication function is enabled and matched with the master device (such
as IOS, Android phone or tablet), the matching connection with the new master device will first
clear the previous host matching information. Therefore, a rematch is required when the previous
master device connects to the BLE serial adapter again.
However, when some master devices (such as IOS Ipad) are connected again, because the
matching information of the BLE serial port adapter is saved before, the master device does not re-
initiate the match after receiving the BLE serial port adapter re-matching request, which will result
in authentication failure and thus disconnection. In the case of disconnection, first delete the BLE
serial port adapter matching information in the Bluetooth option of the master device's system
settings, and reconnect it again.

VI.
Parameter configuration
In parameters setting mode, default parameter is 9600bps, 8-N–1, no CTS RTS flow control.
The following < CR >, < LF > in tables represent ASCII code of the "Enter" and “line feed”.
Every AT command send to the module needs to end up with the two codes. Otherwise the AT
commands can not be recognized. As for < >, it is use to convenient reading. In fact there is no < >
in command.

In addition, Max shall not be less than min, timeout must be greater than the effective connection
interval, that is, connection gap * (1+latency); If the device is a slave device and enable is set,
whether the parameters can be updated successfully depends on the master device. For example,
for IOS devices, apple has some parameter range limits. If the limit is exceeded, the update will be
rejected by IOS devices. Please refer to the apple document for details.

OTA instructions
The module supports the air upgrade function, and you can use the APP nRF Connect provided by
the Nordic company to complete the firmware upgrade.
VIII.
Application examples
We used nRF Connect, an APP provided by the Nordic company, to test the sending and
receiving of data between mobile phones and BLE serial port adapters.
1. The BLE serial port adapter keeps the factory default parameters and connects to PC through the serial
port. Power on and enable it in the data communication mode.
2. Open the "nRF Connect" software and the phone will search the BLE Bluetooth devices nearby. The
device name "BLE0405C1P" will be shown, which is the default name of the BLE serial port adapter.
15
3. Click "CONNECT", and the interface will display the list of services included in the adapter
after successful connection, and the connection status indicator will be extinguished.
