1. A circuit for converting data of a signal line in the form of logical pulses of current to RS 232 level voltages between an air-conditioner and a computer comprising:
- a plurality of opto-couplers each having a phototransistor and a photodiode for inverting and electrically isolating the signals received from the signal line of the air conditioner;
one or more resistors;
a diode for protecting the photodiode against an accidental of reverse voltage;
a serial port for receiving an output voltage from the circuit to be connected to the computer; and
a light emitting diode for indicating the presence of the signals in the circuit.
