Product description
The K-114 BT interface converter is recommended to communicate with digital products from KELLER, such as
pressure transmitters, manometers, or autonomous data loggers.
The interface converter supports two modes of operation:
– Communication via Bluetooth
– Communication via USB
The K-114 BT converter converts the serial signals of an RS485 interface into either Bluetooth or USB format. The
converter can be supplied with power autonomously, via the integrated battery, or via a USB interface. In this way,
the converter also supplies power to the connected devices. The battery can be charged via the USB interface.
The converter measures available supply voltage and power consumption of connected devices. These signals can
be evaluated and displayed using the supplied software. Bias or termination resistors may be activated if necessary
in order to improve communication via the RS485. The device is congured using the „K114_Cong“ software.
Bluetooth
General
The K-114 BT interface converter has a Bluetooth Classic 3.0 interface and a typical range of up to 10 m (device
class 2). The partner device (master/PC) must support Bluetooth Classic 2.1 or higher.
Function
When the device is switched on, the Bluetooth module is activated automatically and the interface converter is visi-
ble to other Bluetooth devices. The K-114 BT must be paired with the receiving device before a connection can be
established. Once a Bluetooth connection has been established, the interface converter can no longer be accessed
by other Bluetooth devices.
If you want to communicate via the USB interface of the converter, any existing Bluetooth connections must be
terminated. If Bluetooth communication is established, any existing USB connection is interrupted.

● The virtual COM port numbers generated can be found by navigating to „Devices and Printers“ /
„K-114 BT SNxxxx“.
Right-click on the logo under „Properties“ / „Services“ to nd the generated COM port.
➞This procedure need only be completed once. The generated virtual COM port remains available for further
sessions. In other words, as soon as this port is accessed, the BT connection is established automatically.
USB
General
In order to operate the interface converter via USB, the interface driver „Driver K-114“ must rst be installed on
the computer. The driver software is included on the KELLER software CD and can be downloaded for free from
www.keller-druck.com.
Communication
If the device is connected via Bluetooth, any communication via the USB interface is automatically interrupted. Once
the Bluetooth connection is deactivated, it is again possible to communicate via the USB interface.
Pairing/connecting via Bluetooth for the rst time
The computer must have an internal Bluetooth module or a Bluetooth USB dongle (Bluetooth Classic 2.1 or higher)
● To establish a Bluetooth connection with the K-114 BT, open the window „Devices and Printers“
in the Control Panel.
➞Ensure that the K-114 BT converter is switched on (Power LED is illuminated).
● Click on „ Add a device “ to search for Bluetooth devices. This may take a few minutes. The K-114 BT converter
with the correct serial number should appear in the list.
➞ The computer may not nd the converter on the rst attempt. If this happens, please check that the converter is
switched on and is not too far away from the computer.
●Double-clicking on the converter symbol opens a new window with the automatically generated
coupling code. Click on „Next“ to couple the K-114 BT converter with the computer. A virtual COM port is now
created that can be used to communicate with the connected device.

Battery/charging
In order to protect the battery in the device, the user should switch off the converter after use. In battery operation,
the K-114 BT switches off automatically after communication has been inactive for 30 minutes.
The battery can be charged via the USB interface. Care must be taken to ensure that the battery can be charged
both via a normal USB port and a DCP (dedicated charging port) or USB adapter. This has the benet that instead
of being charged with 500 mA or 100 mA (USB port), the battery can be charged with up to 1 A (DCP), reducing
the charging time.
Charging and operating times (90%):

For Bluetooth communication and the internal controller (bus address: 253), the converter supports the baud rate of
9600 baud (default) or 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. This transmission speed must be congu-
red on the master (PC) and on the K-114 BT.

Parity Odd, even, mark, space, no parity Yes
The K-114 BT converter communicates with the connected devices via an RS485 (half-duplex mode) bus. The
internal battery supplies power to the devices connected to the K-114 BT. KELLER products operate with fail-safe
drivers, which output a logical high at the receiver outlet in the event of short-circuited, open or non-terminated
inputs in order to avoid invalid signal states. KELLER products also feature slew rate limitation, which limits the edge
steepness of the driver output. This prevents high-frequency emissions from devices and data lines. A maximum of
128 bus devices can be connected to this RS485 master.

Voltage and current measurement
The latest conguration and measurements are continuously displayed and updated.
The RS485 connection to a connected device can be checked by pressing the button "Test communication".
No. Symbol Function Description
1 I-OUT Supply current to external consumers Range 0…150 mA
2 U-BAT Voltage of the internal battery 3,1…4,2 V
3 U-OUT Supply voltage to external consumers ~ 15 V
4U-IN Voltage input Range 0…12 VDC
Software K-114_Cong
The software K-114_Cong is a conguration and diagnostic tool for the converter K-114 BT. It can be used to
congure the baud rate of the converter, as well as to select the echo function and to switch on the bias resistors or
the termination resistor. If an end consumer is connected, a full diagnostic test can be run to determine the power
consumption and applied signal voltage and a communication test can be performed.
Installation
First, install the K-114 BT driver on your computer, then launch the K-114_Cong software. (Software CD included
in scope of delivery or available as a free download from www.keller-druck.com)
Execution
Launch the program "K-114_Cong" and select the corresponding COM port. Then navigate to the K-114 congu-
ration view (top-right of the tab).

The function „Download remote maintenance software“automatically begins the download of a remote desktop
program. Launch it once it has downloaded. After sending a connection code, our technical support team will log
into your computer and provide help directly on your screen.
Error analysis/support
If problems arise when using the converter, please refer to the chapter „Error analysis support“for help. If the
problem persists after you have followed the instructions in this chapter, please contact www.keller-druck.com
Warnings and messages in the software
The following warnings and messages in the „K-114 Cong“ software notify the user that an invalid state has arisen.
The message is displayed in the top line of the window „K-114 Conguration“.
Battery almost empty
If the charging capacity of the battery drops below 20%, the user is notied that the battery is low on power.
Battery low, connect charger
This nal warning appears when the capacity drops below 10% and instructs the user one last time to charge the
device before it switches off automatically.
U-OUT outside of range
This message appears if the voltage U-OUT is less than 14,25 VDC. As an initial measure, remove the external
devices until the error disappears.
Short circuit/overload at output
This message appears if the output current I-OUT exceeds 125 mA. This indicates that the load is too high: please
check the power supply connection. As an initial measure, remove the external devices until the error disappears.
U-IN outside of measurement range
The measurement range for U-IN is 0…12 VDC. The message informs the user that the upper limit of the measure-
ment range that can be represented (> 15VDC) has been reached. The measurement voltage U-IN actually applied
may therefore be greater than the displayed value.

Recording K-114 BT measurements
The measurements I-OUT, U-IN, U-OUT and U-BAT can be recorded and stored via the software ControlCenter-
Series30 (CCS30). Read the CCS30 manual to nd out more about this.
In order to display the data for the K-114 controller using the software, you must enter bus address 253 in CCS30
and start the search for the device. You can display and store measurements via the „New measurement“ function.
