TROUBLESHOOTING

If problems occur with the use of the converter, check the following points:

PROBLEM

CHECK

The “POWER” LED does not come on

Check that the PC's USB socket provides for the supply 

of the 5 V needed to power the instrument

The “Rx” led remains on continuously

Check that the RS485 cables have not been swapped.

The received data is incorrect

Check the communication speed

The S107USB and K107USB products, constitute an interface able to realize an asynchronous RS485 serial, 
using a USB port present on the PC. 
Thanks to the driver provided, the serial interface is treated by the operating system as a standard system serial 
port, allowing the use of the product directly through any software capable of communicating with the standard 
serial ports provided by the operating system (COM1, COM2, etc).
The RS485 port is also electrically isolated from the USB port, allowing eliminating many problems of electrical 
noise that can occur for example when the connected equipment is very far from the PC.
