Model: rdc232iso 
Non-powered EIA/RS-232 Isolator 
(3-wire: Txd, Rxd, Signal Gnd) 
The rdc232iso safely connects two RS-232 
devices without danger of ground loops and 
damaging surges.  The RS-232 signals and g
optical isolation with coating.   
The data li
round have 5000-volt 
nes Txd & Rxd are fully isolated, plus over 1 million ohms 
 
and 
of resistance is added to the ground path.  This effectively 
decouples the signal grounds, preventing ground loops and
common-mode surge currents.  The rdc232iso has one DTE 
one DCE 9-pin d-shell with computer-style pin-outs.

Application Details: 
Contrary to what some vendors imply, RS-232 was never designed 
 recommend that all 
 
to “power” external devices.  Current from compliant RS-232 chips 
varies between vendors, but stays in the range of 1mA to 15mA.  
This is not very much power.  Thus the performance of any self-
power device is greatly affected by the chips used in the driving 
device.  You will find the rdc232iso (or any “self-powered” device
works better with some equipment than others. 
To get maximum performance and reliability, we
driven signals be connected.  This is Txd, DTR, and RTS on the 
DCE side and Rxd, DSR, CTS, and DCD on the DTE side.  While
the rdc232iso often operates with only the power from the transmit 
pin, the more driver signals you connect, the better it performs.  The 
rdc232iso works whether the control signals are low or high.   
When to use an isolator? 
ook to industrial equipment 
• 
radio or wire modems (lightning/surge 
• 
When connecting a noteb
• 
When connecting equipment from 2 different vendors 
• 
When connecting control room to factory floor devices 
• 
When connecting UPS powered devices to non-UPS 
powered devices 
When connecting 
attractors) to most other equipment.

Cable recommended
by device maker for
connection to a 
9-pin computer port.  
However, if you need 
DSR or CTS input
you'll need to do this
at the remote device.

Note: 
The desire to maximize the power available for a cleaner 
RS-232 signal means you don’t want to connect receive 
pins at attached device unless required.
