INTRODUCTION
The TxLD is a simple to install, cost effective device for remote installation of a BBV Tx1000 Slave Keyboard
when the cable length for the keyboard serial data exceeds 50 metres. The communications data for the
keyboard is RS232, which will become unreliable at distances greater than 50M. The TxLD converts the
RS232 data to 4 wire RS422 and then back to RS232 at the opposite end, this enables the data to be
transmitted over cable lengths up tp 1200M. The TxLD’s are supplied with sticky pads for easy wall
mounting.
INSTALLATION
Mount the units in relevant positions close to the Tx1000 Base Unit and the Slave Keyboard, and
interconnect both units with twin twisted pair cable. Note that at the keyboard the TxLD uses the
Tx1000/KBD slave keyboard power supply and at the matrix the TxLD is powered from the Tx1000 via the
supplied cable.
Line Length
The TxLD will perform optimally over any length of cable up to 1200M using the recommended cable type
“BELDEN 9502”. Cables are easily connected to the 5 pin plug/socket screw connector, which plug into the
socket on the end of the unit. Ensure cable run is away from sources of interference and high current
carrying cables.
IMO Connectors
Connection of the twin twisted pair wires to the TxLD units is made
via the green IMO connectors located at the opposite end of the TxLD
to the D-type. It is important to maintain correct polarity and ensure
that RX and TX cross over.
