Driver Pre-Installation  

If you are using Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, or 2000 - the USB drivers can be 
installed before the RS-485 converter is connected to the PC’s USB port.  After 
the drivers are installed, Windows will automatically detect the converter when 
it is connected to a USB port and complete the setup. 

To pre-install the drivers, run 

Setup.exe

 from the included CD and 

follow the on-screen prompts.  The CD 
will auto-run this fi le if the Windows 
Autorun feature is enabled for your CD 
drive.  The setup.exe is a utility that 
will determine your operating system 
and run the correct installer. Click the 

Install RS-485 Converter USB drivers...  

button to pre-install the drivers. The 
driver installer will guide you through 
the setup process. 

Installers can also be run manually from the CD using 

\

x86\DPInstx86.exe

 for 32 

bit operating systems or 

x\64\DPInstx64.exe

 for 64 bit operating systems.

RS-485 Convert Setup Utility

Run the setup utility before 
connecting to the USB port.
