Gearmo GM-1015-B Optoelectronic Isolator
Overview
GM-1015-B is an optoelectronic isolator. It adopts advanced optoelectronic isolation technology, this greatly protects R-232 serial devices from ground loop circuit, surge, lightning, ESD, and hot plug damage. 90% damage reasons of RS-23 2 port are on ground loop circuit, surge, lightning, ESD, and hot plug, electromagnetic interference, etc. Such as device A connects with device B via RS-232, if the voltage difference of ground wire between A & B is over 50V (normally will be over 80V), the RS-232 communication will be abnormal, RS-232 ports will raise 2,500Vrms in sudden, and continuous 500VDC submit value difference. GM-1015-B can absorb ESD and electromagnetic interference, so as to protect RS-232 ports from the devices. The optoelectronic technology makes GM-1015-B fully isolated the loop between electric and ground of both RS-232 ports; it changes the electrical signal into optic signal from one side, and transmits it to another side, then converts to electrical signal. This can protect the communication devices from ground loop and surge interference, which greatly improve the stability and reliability of the communication system. GM-1015-B is widely used in the field of power, insurance, telecom, railway, post office, finance, bank, and stock market, etc, applications such as point to point RS-232 communication system, UNIX multi-user system, monitoring con trol system, switch toll system, satellite receiver, ATM, etc.

Model choosing
Connection
GM-1015-B is allowed to connect between RS-232 connecting cable and RS-232
ports of the device at any sides (pay attention to: TO DTE and TO DCE
direction). Generally speaking, PC and multi-user belong to DTE device; MODEM,
terminal belong to DCE device. The final way to distinguish DTE or DCE device
should be based on the RS-232 pin signals. So if two DTE devices (such like
terminal and multi-user) are crossing via cross RS-232 cable, when using
GM-1015-B, no matter it is on which side, terminal device should be connected
on TO DTE side, cable should be on TO DCE side.
Application
- UNIX multi-user system
- Long distance switch
- Toll terminal
- Satellite receiver
- Non-common ground RS-232 ATM
- Modem, router
