Using the Click 421

The Click 421 serial to Bluetooth radio converts half-duplex two-wire RS-232 and 485 communication to Bluetooth 

and vice versa. Use this device in a cabinet to transfer data from a sensor to your computer via a wireless 

Bluetooth connection.

Communication Ports

The back of the Click 421 features a 5-position connector that plugs into a T-bus connector and provides power and 

RS-485 communication to the device. It also passes that RS-485 communication to all other devices on the T-bus.

The top of the device has two pluggable screw terminal blocks. The first block features -485, +485 and two 

ground screw terminals for wiring RS-485 communication. (It will not be necessary, however, to wire RS-485 

through the screw terminal block if the device is connected to a T-bus with uninterrupted RS-485 communication.)
