    Convert RS-485 to USB Laptop Metering Information Log Energy Usage Billing #17
    EKM-Blink -- USB to RS-485 Converter

    Our USB Converter, translates the RS-485 signal from our kWh meters to a signal that can be understood by your computer and our EKM Dash software. This is an inexpensive device that will work well if you want to read your meters locally on-site. You can daisy-chain connect up to 256 meters, on up to 4000 feet of twisted pair wire, to this converter.

    This converter uses a chip that is manufactured by FTDI, which is much more robust, reliable, and easier to use than competing chips.
    • Just install the drivers, plug the USB converter into an available USB port, and begin communicating with your EKM Meters or RS-485 devices.
    • Blue and Red LEDs indicate data sent and data received.
    • We ship these USPS First Class Mail unless they are purchased with one of our other items, which will then ship with USPS Priority Mail.
    30 day Money-back Satisfaction Guarantee — If it doesn't work for you, return it! Two Year Warranty
