WCS-232  Bluetooth to RS232 Serial Converter

WCS-232

 

 

WCS-232

The WCS-232 Bluetooth Serial RS232 Adapter allows you to replace serial communication cables. Bluetooth is an industry standard wireless communications protocol that provides short range, up to 100 metres, communications without wires. 

 

The new WCS-232 version 4.0 uses an external antenna to give serial communication up to 1Km

There is a low power mode for battery operation. A battery box is available.

The WCS-232 supports Bluetooth RS232 communication between controllers/devices that have a RS232 serial port interface. The WCS-232 Bluetooth RS232 Serial Port Converter Adapter communicates up to 100 metres/300 feet with up to 115.2Kps speed.

The WCS-232 Bluetooth Wireless to Serial RS232 Serial Port Adapter  Adapter eliminates cables.

The WCS-232 Bluetooth Wireless to Serial RS232 can be used either singly or in pairs.

Single WCS-232 adapter will communicate with any Bluetooth Wireless Cordless enabled equipment (PC, PDA, etc.) that supports SPP (Serial Port Protocol).

Point to Point 2.4GHz RF Communication Compliant with  Bluetooth Spec. V1.2

Bluetooth Class 1. Up to 100 metres with standard antenna. Up to 1 Km with optional antenna.

Fully compatible with PC serial COM ports

Reduced cabling expenses

Applicable to Portable Devices (The lightness of 33g and the small size)

USB port can be used for power supply

Communication status can be monitored through LEDs 

Stability, Noise-free and reliability through wireless communication.

Supplied as a matching pair of Serial RS232 to Bluetooth Adapters they can be used with any Serial RS232 equipment to eliminate the cable. There is no need to install additional programs in your computer or communication devices to use the WCS-232 Bluetooth Wireless Cordless to RS232 Serial Port Converter Adapter. Connect the WCS-232 Bluetooth Wireless to RS232 Serial Port Converter Adaptor to a serial port at your computer or communication device and supply it with power. A Bluetooth Cordless connection between two devices is automatically established when both WCS-232s are powered on. Then you can easily access it as if you were using the existing serial port. More than one pair can be used in the same area.

Included in the package is a mains power adapter and a USB power lead. For portable applications the WCS-232 Bluetooth Wireless Cordless to RS232 Serial Port Converter Adapter can be powered from a battery.

The WCS-232 Bluetooth Cordless to RS232 Serial Port Converter Adaptor can be powered by the following methods: DC Power supply, PC USB Port through USB cable, Pin 9 of DB9 connector (only if special serial port used) or external battery.

Using a program like HyperTerminal, the WCS-232 Serial RS232 to Bluetooth Wireless Converter Adapter can easily be set up.
The WCS-232 has a SETUP switch. When it the normal ACTIVE mode it is impossible for stray serial characters to re-program it. This is a major benefit over most of its competitors.
