Thank you for choosing our product. These instructions will facilitate operating the device and enable safe use of the controller at its full capacity. Prior to the installation and startup of the device, please become familiar with these instructions. In the event of any additional questions, please contact our technical adviser.
(over the MODBUS-RTU protocol); (except for AR500) programmable digital input (except for AR500) for changing the operation mode of the meter: manual/automatic mode for the analog output, keypad block, stopping the display indications (HOLD function) analog output (except for AR500) 0/4÷20 mA or 0/2÷10 V (retransmission, alarm/control, manual)
− from the film keypad located on the front panel (in AR500 and AR503 the buttons are accessible after the front glass is taken out) − through the RS485 or the AR955 programmer and the ARSOFT-WZ1 free software (Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8)
LED display, variable display color in AR517 Signaling of alarms, messages, and errors Power supply (Usup) - 230 VAC (standard) 85 ÷ 260 V AC/ 3 VA (none in the AR500) - 24 VAC/DC (option) 20÷50 VAC/ 3 VA, 22÷72 VDC/ 3W, (standard in the AR500)
(PRG adapter connected) NOTE: For connecting the device with a computer through the PRG socket, use only the AR955 programmer (for AR500 and AR503 with an optional adapter). A connection made with a regular USB cable may cause damage to...
In AR500 and AR503, the PRG input is accessible from the top of the enclosure. Place the adapter in the opening in the enclosure with the USB socket facing the nearest wall of the enclosure. b) connection of a 2- and 3-wire transducer (Iout - output current, Uout - output voltage) 8.
9. BINARY INPUT Binary input BIN (not available in the AR500) performs a function that is programmable with parameter 15: Func (chapter 10). The binary input works with the bi-stable signal i.e. the supplied signal (voltage or switch) must be permanent (on/off type).

A detailed description of configuration of the operation of the analog output and the alarm is given in chapters 12.1÷ 12.3. The alarm can be signaled both through the analog output (not available in the AR500) and through 18: AcoL variable color of the display (parameter only in the AR517).
Communication with devices is effected using a protocol compatible with MODBUS-RTU (chapter 16). The following applications are available (on a CD supplied with the AR955 programmer or to be downloaded from the Internet at www.apar.pl, Download section, for operating systems Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8): Name...
- display and recording of current measurement data from a maximum of 30 channels ARSOFT-WZ2 at the same time (only from devices made by APAR) (payable) - the program requires communication with the meter via the RS485 or PRG (AR955) port The detailed descriptions of the aforementioned applications can be found in the installation folders.
