MAX232 converterts the RS232 signal to 5v levels. Very common interface.

Wouldn't it be possbile to access the system using a modem and phoneline? It shows this in the manual and in the software.

RFXCOM Serial module also has MAX232. Let's see if that will fit into the Visonic [:o)]

I have the Rfxcom version...that one will not fit..

I think the Visonic rs232 print is not worth the money, it's only for programming the panel and once you programmed it, it probably takes ages when you use it again

You can rent mine for 10 euro/day

One thing you are able to do only via the software configuration, at least I think so, is to replace the 5 generic zone names to more meaning full names.

Dear all,

I have now also a Visonic powermax+ system from marktplaats and already reset it( for the install code so that now standaard). Download the installationguide from the visonic site. But I can't get out of it.

Now is my question is the rs232 module with the software easier to config the system? because than I can order so module or maybe somebody living close to me how have time and wants to help me ( tegen betaling uiteraard ) I living in the middel of Breda and Roosendaal.

Or maybe somebody have a easy quickguide for Visonic systems ??

Thanx already for you help guys..

you can download the software and try.
uploading to powermax is not possible without the interface.
It's not the most easy interface

<br />I have downloaded : Remote_Programmer_3_0_37_6.zip

But it's password procteded. ( I try : visonic,Visonic,Powermax,powermax )
But no go.
Or must I used a other link / program?

Hi,

Has anyone built the Serial Cable ?
I wil try to build one next week.

regards,
m

I have the interface...looks not easy to self build
When installing the interface I saw also a PC interface direct on the Powermax pro..not sure what this is..

Hello,

Found this: http://www.homesecuritystore.com/ezstor ... uctID=1135

Only has one RJ-45 connector (unlike the one in the photos). Can anyone post some photos of the "one-plugged" interface?

And after I've assembled the RS-232 module, will add a bluetooth transmiter

@marunga: This is for the PowerMax, the previous photo is the interface required for the Powermax Pro.

Rene.

[:D] Yep, just found up... and this is the one I want:Powermax+
Does anyone have one of these and post some "zoomed" photos ? or better, a schematic [;)]

Is the some on ther have the cable wire diagram from the rs-232 print to the pc it is a rj-45 to dj-9 it is for the powermax pro.

Concerning the wiring-diagram, have a look at the MAX-232 datasheet. Looking at pictures of the PCB the circuit-board is a very standard TTL <--> RS-232 convertor.

When blu-tooth was not mainstream, you had those adapter-cables for plugging your mobile-phone into your PC. If you have one of those you could use that.

Looking again at the PCB:

1: +5V
2: RX from PowerMax to external
3+4: TX/DTR from external to Powermax

All signals TTL level

I could not find GND (picture too dark), but that can be found very easily using a multi-meter.
