Before starting the work on the device, remove the protective film securing the LCD display window (if present). AR431/432/433/434/435/436: the devices may be hung using the holes in the rear wall; in case of wall mounting - to make the fixing holes, you may remove the rear wall of the housing (chapter 13) and use it as a template. -

7. CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER AND INSTALLATION OF DRIVERS After you connect the device for the first time, the Windows system (XP/Vista/7/8/10) detects the sensor as "APAR USB DEVICE" and demands installation of drivers of the virtual COM serial port (MODBUS-RTU protocol, also used by ARSOFT-CFG-WZ1 software). -

10.4. ALARM CONFIGURATION (APPLIES TO AR432/434/436) When displaying the measured values, the sensor also enables the alarm signalling with short blinking of "LED - alarm" LEDs repeated every 1 second. The alarm characteristics and values of alarm thresholds for the measured value define the lower and upper alarms (chapters 10.2 and 10.3). -

12. IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES. TROUBLESHOOTING For the trouble-free and optimum operation of the measuring set consisting of wireless sensors and AR40x base unit (AR407/AR406), carefully read the operating instructions for these devices. In case of normal, undisturbed transmission, the sensors activate cyclically to send the current measurement data at the request of AR40x. -
Page 13: Battery Change
During the battery change, the real time clock (RTC) is reset and requires re-setting with ARSOFT- CFG-WZ1 software - the remaining parameters remain unchanged. AR431/432/433/434/435/436 (prepare a flat screwdriver) - remove the rear wall of the housing (as shown in Fig. 13.1), successively prying the latches - carefully remove the sensor control board from the housing (Fig. -
