Inverse-polarity protection 2.1 Method of operation ARS31-UMB determines the freezing temperature of a liquid on the road surface by means of active cooling and heating. ARS31-UMB allows precise determination of the freezing temperature in the absence of accurate knowledge of the type or mixture of salt.
2) In the next measurement cycle, at the time 25 min GT 2 is determined and issued. So TG1 was issued for 10 minutes. 3) In the next measurement cycle, at the time 25 min GT 3 determined and issued. So TG2 was issued for 30 minutes. G. Lufft Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH, Fellbach, Germany...

ARS31-UMB 3.4 Commissioning and testing After the device has been installed and connected correctly, the ARS31-UMB is initialized and measurement begins. The first measurements are available after approximately 1 minute; after approximately 20 minutes, the measurements for freezing temperature and saline concentration are available (provided that the ambient conditions allow such measurements).
The threads of the fixing screws must be greased. First the screws are attached loosely and then tightened cross-wise (torque 2 Nm). G. Lufft Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH, Fellbach, Germany...
4.2.1 Cable See Section 3.3 Installation – Connecting the cable 4.2.1.1 Power supply The ARS31-UMB power supply is 24DC (9..36V VDC). The power supply unit used must be approved for operating devices of protection class III (SELV). 4.2.1.2 RS485 interface...
After loading an ARS31-UMB configuration, all relevant settings and values can be adjusted. If several ARS31-UMB devices are operated on a UMB network, the ID must be changed before connection to the network, as each device requires a unique ID. IDs are allocated in ascending order, beginning with number one.

New firmware is uploaded via the RS485 interface. It is not necessary to open the housing for this purpose. However, firmware uploads must take place at a temperature between 0 and 60°C. The update is controlled by means of PC software. G. Lufft Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH, Fellbach, Germany...
The protocol is based on meteorological sensor communications protocol. This contains bus-compatible binary protocol which requires a strict master-slave principle and is enabled on delivery. The ARS31-UMB is a slave and only responds to requests. AN ASCII protocol is available for rudimentary measurement polling only.

However, this only makes sense if there is only one device of this class on the bus. 6.1.3 Examples for creating addresses If, for example, an ARS31-UMB is to be given device address ID 0001, this is done as follows: Class ID for ARS is 4d = 4h Device ID is e.g.
+ 1 (LSB first mode) Start value: FFFFh (Attention: Contrary to earlier Lufft protocols, the start value for CRC calculations is not 0h but rather FFFFh in accordance with CCITT) Further information is available in the description of a CRC calculation in UMB Protocol.

The reason for this output is that in the (German) “Bundesdatenverteiler” (12/2010) the TLS compliant combination of 0°C freezing temperature and 0% residual salt are causing errors in the visualization.
