Note 1: The compressor must be in remote to accept the start and stop commands that are sent through serial
communications, and the Slide Valve must be in remote to accept load and unload commands that are sent.
Note 2: A write message for more than one element is allowed for the Allen Bradley N119:10 address. A maximum size of 10
elements can be written to. An invalid setting sent with a Write Message is ignored.
Note 3: Command Values need tenths field added. For example, to start the compressor, the table above states that 1 = Start.
However, being that one decimal place is assumed, a value of 10 actually needs to be sent.
Note 4: The address to allow the reading and writing of the proper Temperature/Pressure units can be found at Frick® Address
4566.

typical RS-232 serial protocol to either RS-422 or RS-485
serial protocols. The module will also work converting RS- The following diagram (Figure 3) shows the circuit board:
422 or RS-485 to RS-232 (bi-directional). Due to the tight
mounting restrictions in many existing control panels, this
module provides the ultimate solution for field
communications upgrades or modifications. No drilling is
required, and no valuable space is lost. The only
requirement is an external source of 24 volt DC power.

For easy reference, the DIP switch position functions are

provided on the board. For the purpose of clarity however,

Mounting the module
This module can be mounted on the standard din rail that

is available in most control panels.
1. Find an open area of the din rail (5/8 inch

Locking minimum, for the width of the module), and
Tabs preferably as far away from any inductive loads
(relays, contactors, etc.) as possible.
2. Module orientation is not critical, however, try to

mount it so that all wiring connections can be
made neatly, and according to any applicable
local codes.

Although typical RS-485 communications requires a

12 TX feature that handles this handshaking internally, without
the user needing to provide it. It is a true two-wire system.
1. Locate a suitable source for the +24 volt DC Refer to Figure 7 for the pin connections showing how to
power. Using a minimum of 18 AWG stranded attach a 2-wire RS-485 cable directly to the Frick®
wire, connect the MINUS wire to terminal # 7. Communications Converter Module:
Connect the PLUS wire to terminal # 8.
