In uart example the protocol used is RS232?

Question

I program the uart example in my board nRF51 dk. I put a osciloscope in pin 9 and the signal is a square wave between 0 al 30V. So i think that the protocol is RS232, is this correct?

No, RS232 is not used in the UART example, it uses TTL logic levels (0 - VDD). 
 With the RS-232 standard a logic high ('1') is represented by a negative voltage (from -3V to -25V), while a logic low ('0') is a positive voltage (from 3V to 25V). So if you want to use RS232, you need to add a RS232 transmitter/receiver, e.g. MAX232.
