With a double-core and non-stopinside design UT-1208H is
a RS-485 bus splitting hubspecially designed tomeet the requirements
of RS-485 undersophisticated electromagnetic fieldenvironment.
A transmissionrate as highas 115.2 KBPS is supported by this
product.What'smore photoelectrical isolation technology is
adopted for RS-485interface to avoidinduction of lightingor surge
into the converterand equipments tomake sure the safety and
reliability of signaltransmission. The built-inphotoelectrical
isolator and the1,500W surge protection circuit canprovide a
high isolation voltageof 2,500V for an efficient restriction of
lighting and ESD, and at the same time, lighting strike and
grounding interference can be reduced tothe least extent.This
product is suitable for outdoors engineering with adoptionof
outside switch powersupply.
Under RS-485 mode the determination circuit adopted can
determine the direct ion of the data streamand switch the control
circuit on a automatic basis for an very easy solution ofthe long-
existed transmission delayof RS-485. Thetransmission distance
is as far as 1,200 meters with a very stable performance. This
product is widelyused in expressway toll system road monitoring
system and electricitymonitoring system with nice performance
and competitive price.
RS-485 star topology bus connection is provided by UT-1208H
RS-485 HUB. Short circuit and opencircuit is providedfor all
the terminals. Photo electrical isolationof 2,500V isprovided.
Re-constru ction of RS-485 bus structure and network range
splitting can beeasily realized toimprove communication reliability.
In the caseof lighting strike or equipment failure the affected
range shall beisolated to make sure the normalfunction of other
ranges. This feature can increasegreatly the reliabilityof existing
RS-485 with achievementof shorter timefor network maintenance.
Proper application ofUT-1208H RS-485 HUB can help you with
a nice designof RS-48 system of high stability.

2. Applicationin expansion from existing RS-485 BUSto 8
RS-485 interface.A maximum of 128 RS-485hubs can be
connected simutaneously toRS-485 BUS.
3. Applicationsin connection from RS-232C serial portof main
control machine tomultiple RS-485 interfaces or in expansion
from existing RS-485BUS to multiple RS-485 interfaces and a
maximum of 128RS-485 hubs can be connected simutaneouslyto
RS-485 BUS.
Efficient solutions of RS-485 ports failures hall greatlyincrease
the liability of RS-485device connections. Theshort circuit protection
fuction of all the4 ports for subordinatemachine shall work under
turn-off mode.Any failure of anyspecific RS-485 port shallonly
influence the RS-485 BUSsystem connected to thatport all
systems connected to otherports will not beeffected. Failed ports
and other devices connectedcan be determined easilyfor solution
by users based onthe alarm indicators.
VI. Alarm and Protection of RS-485 Port Failures
Outside power suplyof DC9-48V/AC100-240V~60/50Hz is
adopted. Never userany other un-regulated power supply to
avoid damage causedto your products.
1,500W lighting strike protectionis available forall the RS-485
interfaces of UT-1208H for efficient restriction of lighting strike
and ESD. Groundinghas to be ensured for asafe and stable
communicationss.
