| The asynchronous LH-4VLWL line splitter divides
a multi-mode fibre optic connection into a RS485/
RS422/ V.24 interface and a further fibre optic interface.
For example, the line splitter enables several
RS485/ RS422 networks some distance apart to be
combined by a 2-.bre .bre-optic interface to form
a common station, or it enables several addressed
input devices, distributed in different buildings, to
be connected to a common network.
The direction of data .ow supports any master/
slave networks and Multimaster networks (tokenpassing).
The information contents and protocols are
not affected by the short device running times. At
the RS232/ V.24 interface the line splitter supports
speeds of up to 100 kbits/s, and for the RS422/RS485
interface speeds of up to 1 Mbits/s. After each
line splitter the data are reproduced in regenerated
form. The distance between two LH-4VLWL’s may be
up to 3 km, the data connection being galvanically
insulated by the .bre optics and being insensitive to
electromagnetic interferences such as overvoltages
and lightning. The RS485/RS422/V.24 interface is
protected by a transient protection against interferences.
The LH-4VLWL is suitable for assembly on a 35 mm
DIN mounting rail, and the converter is mounted
on the bar by means of an assembly base. This
base consists of a retaining device for the rail and a
screw terminal strip for the RS485/RS422/V.24 interface
connection. The interface converter is placed
directly on the assembly base, contact with the connections
being made automatically. This assembly
base guarantees simple installation or replacement
of devices. The line splitter is operated with a supply
voltage of 24V DC, and the signal status is displayed
by means of LED’s (Power, TD, RD and DCD) on the
front panel.
The LH-4VLWL meets the most stringent requirements
regarding reliability, operation and performance,
and because of their simple handling the
devices can be installed without problem.

| Maximum transfer distance: 0-1200 m at 0-1 MBit/s. Use pair twisted,
unscreened cables. The transfer characteristics deteriorate as the capacitance increases
and the cable cross-section is reduced. Use screened cables in heavy interference environment
but consider that higher capacitances reduce the transmission distance.
