Honeywell RS232

Honeywell RS232 Serial Cable

The Honeywell RS232 cable is a high‑performance, 3‑meter serial interface designed for reliable data transmission in industrial and laboratory environments. With its robust construction and precise electrical characteristics, it ensures seamless communication between Honeywell devices such as the Voyager, Xenon, and Granit series.

Key Technical Specifications

• Length: 3 meters (10 feet) – providing ample flexibility for connecting devices at a comfortable distance.
• Connector Type: DB9 male to female – the industry standard for RS232 serial communication.
• Color: Black – a neutral, professional appearance that blends seamlessly into any setup.
• Signal Voltage: 5 V – compatible with Honeywell’s standard RS232 signal levels.
• Coiled Design: The cable is engineered with a coiled construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and improve durability during frequent handling.
• Construction Material: High‑quality copper conductors wrapped in durable insulation, ensuring long‑term reliability even under harsh conditions.

Compatibility and Use Cases

The cable is specifically engineered for use with Honeywell’s industrial equipment. It provides a reliable link between:

• Voyager series devices – enabling firmware updates, diagnostics, and data logging.
• Xenon series instruments – facilitating real‑time monitoring and control.
• Granit series systems – allowing seamless integration with existing serial networks.

Because of its standardized DB9 connectors, the cable can also be used in a wide range of other RS232 applications where a robust, 3‑meter connection is required.

Installation and Setup

1. Connect the male end to the device’s serial port and the female end to your computer or data acquisition system.
2. Configure the communication parameters (baud rate, parity, stop bits) to match the connected equipment. Typical settings for Honeywell devices are 9600 bps, no parity, one stop bit.
3. Verify the connection by sending a test command or performing a simple data transfer. A stable signal indicates proper installation.

Durability and Reliability

The cable’s coiled design protects against tangling and reduces strain on connectors during movement. The high‑grade copper conductors maintain low resistance, ensuring consistent signal integrity over the full 3‑meter length. Additionally, the robust insulation safeguards against moisture and dust, making it suitable for both laboratory and field deployments.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect connectors regularly for corrosion or wear; clean with a dry microfiber cloth if necessary.
• Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable’s specified radius to prevent internal damage.
• Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.

Conclusion

The Honeywell RS232 3‑meter serial cable is an essential component for anyone working with Honeywell’s Voyager, Xenon, or Granit equipment. Its combination of reliable signal transmission, durable construction, and straightforward compatibility makes it a dependable choice for industrial automation, data acquisition, and scientific instrumentation.

Whether you are setting up a new laboratory system or maintaining an existing production line, the Honeywell RS232 cable delivers consistent performance and peace of mind in every connection.
