REDZ BKV series are cable-connected communication tools for local applications. All devices has USB Type A or USB Type C connections for local devices such as PCs. It has several options: USB to RS232 Converter or USB to RS485 Converter with built-in isolated 5V Power Output to easily connect field devices such as KMK114, USB 2.0 - 4 Port USB Type A Hub to extend USB connectivity for multiple USB devices like KMK116 series, USB to 2 Port Ethernet switch to connect field devices easier such as STG-LKM-CKL... series, USB to 868MHZ Wireless MBus Converter to get WMBus messages from the local device directly, USB to P1 Companion Protocol Meter Interface Converter to get Electricity meters data directly to local device.
All BKV Series devices have either USB Type A or Type C connection to local device such as PC.
BKV Series USB Communication Tools have very small form factor. Thus, it can be acted as just cable and there is no need for special mounting. Simply connect the USB Type A or Type C cable to PC and latets windows Systems will install driver automatically.
If driver installation fails, user may download driver from following link manually:
