Before you begin installing your module, please make 
sure that the following materials have been shipped:

If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact 
your distributor or sales representative immediately.

CE/FCC Notification

ADAM-4510, ADAM-4510S and ADAM-4520 devel-
oped by Advantech Co., Ltd. has passed the CE and 
FCC test for environmental specifications. The test 
conditions for passing including the equipment being 
operated within an industrial enclosure. Therefore, in 
order to protect the ADAM module from being dam-
aged by ESD, we strongly recommend that the use of 
CE-compliant industrial enclosure products

Most industrial computer systems come with RS-232 
serial ports. Though widely accepted, RS-232 has lim-
ited transmission speed, range and networking capa-
bilities. The RS-422 and RS-485 standards overcome 
these limitations by using differential voltage lines for 
data and control signals. 

ADAM-4520 is a isolated converter for systems origi-
nally equipped with RS-232. It transparently converts 
RS-232 signals into isolated RS-422 or RS-485 sig-
nals. You don't need to change your PC's hardware or 
your software. The ADAM-4520 lets you easily build 
an industrial grade, long distance communication sys-
tem with standard PC hardware.

The ADAM-4510 and ADAM-4510S repeaters simply 
amplify, or boost, existing RS-485 signals to enable 
them to cover longer distances. They extend the com-
munication distance by 4000 ft (1200 m) or extends 
the number of connected nodes by 32.

Intelligent RS-485 Control

The RS-485 standard supports half-duplex communi-
cation. This means that just two wires are needed to 
both transmit and receive data. Handshaking signals 
(such as RTS, Request To Send) are normally used to 
control the direction of the data flow. A special I/O cir-
cuit in ADAM-4510, ADAM-4510S, and ADAM-4520 
automatically senses the direction of the data flow and 
switches the transmission direction. No handshaking 
signals are necessary. So you can build an RS-485 
network with just two wires. This RS-485 control is 
completely transparent to the user. Software written 
for half-duplex RS-232 works without modification.

Isolation (ADAM-4510S/4520 only)

ADAM-4510S and ADAM-4520's Opto-isolators pro-
vide 3000 V

DC

 isolation to protect the host computer 

from ground loops and destructive voltage spikes on 
the RS-485 data lines.

Surge Protection (RS-485 only)

ADAM-4510/4510S and ADAM-4520 offer internal 
surge-protection on their data lines. Internal high 
speed transient suppressors on each data line protect 
the modules from dangerous voltages levels or spikes.

Tough Industrial Design

You can power ADAM-4510, ADAM-4510S and 
ADAM-4520 with any unregulated power source 
b10 and +30 V

DC

.  Their industrial-grade 

plastic shells can be mounted on a DIN-rail, panel or in 
a piggybacked stack. You make signal connections 
through plug-in screw terminal blocks, guaranteeing 
easy installation, maintenance and modification
