1. SAFETY RULES

Before using the device, please carefully read this instruction manual.

in order to avoid electric shock or damage to the device, mechanical

and electrical installation shall be carried out by qualified personnel

before turning on the power supply, make sure that all cables are connected correctly

before making any modifications to the wiring connections, turn off the power supply

to the device

ensure proper working conditions in accordance with the technical data of the device (power supply

voltage,

humidity, temperature, chapter 5)

2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

The device is designed to provide an adequate level of resistance to most disturbances that may occur in

the industrial environment. In environments with unknown levels of interference, the following

preventive measures are recommended to prevent possible interference with the device:

Do not operate the unit from the same lines as high-power units without using appropriate

network filters

use shielding of power and signal cables, whereby the screen should be grounded

single-point, as close to the device as possible

avoid routing the signal cables in the immediate vicinity of and parallel to

power cables

it is advisable to twist the signal cables in pairs

avoid proximity to remote-controlled equipment, electromagnetic meters, high-power loads

phase-controlled or grouped loads and other equipment which generates

high impulse disturbances

ground or reset the metal rails on which the rail-mounted devices are installed

Remove the protective foil from the LED display screen before starting to operate the unit.

VIEW FROM THE SIDE OF

a) button functions in setpoint display mode (normal mode)

Button

Description[and the corresponding symbol in the manual].

[UP] or [DOWN]:

Increase or decrease the setpoint of the output signal by the set

change value ( parameter 6:, chapter 10 )

[SET] + [UP]:

- incremental (extreme) change of the setpoint value of the output signal -

highest

value of the indication range (parameter 3:) or limiting the setting (5:)

[SET] + [DOWN]:

- incremental (extreme) change of the setpoint value of the output signal - lowest

value of the indication range (parameter 2:) or limiting the setting (4:)

[UP] and [DOWN] (simultaneously): entering the parameter configuration menu

(hold pressed for more than 1 sec.) If parameter 13:=(password protection

is enabled) enter the password (chapter 10)

[SET]

Start/stop the soft start/stop function

(hold pressed for more than 1.5 seconds). If parameter 8: and 9: = 

the function is inactive (chapter 11)

(b) button functions in the parameter configuration menu (Chapter 10)

Button

Description

[SET]

- editing the current parameter

- confirm and save the edited parameter value

[UP] or [DOWN]:

- move to the next or previous parameter name

- change the value of the edited parameter

[UP] and [DOWN] (simultaneously):

- cancelling changes in the edited value (return to parameter name)

Return to the setpoint display mode (hold pressed for > 0.5s).

9. CHANGING THE OUTPUT SETPOINT

Pressing the [UP] or [DOWN] button in the setpoint value display mode causes to change the value by a

step (parameter 6:, chapter 10, Table 10). Changes in the output signal are proportional to the

changes in the displayed value. Using a combination of buttons[SET]+[DOWN] instantly sets the output

level to the lowest possible value (2: or 4:) while [SET]+[UP] sets it to the highest possible value

(3: or 5:). In addition, the output signal can be also set in the parameter programming mode

(parameter 7:) and via the serial interface RS485/RS232 or AR955 programmer (Chapter 15, Table 15).

Additionally, it is possible to set the value to a level which exceeds the range of parameters 2: and

3:. The value of the overdrive for buttons is ±5% for the 4÷20mA (2÷10V) output and +6.2% for the

remaining outputs.

10. SETTING CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS

All configuration parameters of the device are contained in EEPROM internal memory.

There are two ways to configure the parameters:

1. With IP65 foil keypad on the front panel of the device:

- enter the configuration menu from the setpoint display mode (by simultaneously pressing

[UP] and [DOWN] for a time greater than 1 sec.) If parameter 13: =  (password protection

on) the following message will appear on the display, followed by  with the first digit

blinking, using the [UP] or [DOWN] button, enter the access password (by default, parameter

12: = ), moving across positions and entering the code can be done with the [SET]

button.

- after entering the configuration menu, the mnemonic names of the parameters are displayed

( <->

 <->  <-> itd. ), pressing the [UP] button allows to move to the next parameter, while

pressing the [DOWN] button moves to

the previous parameter (for a consolidated list of configuration parameters, see Table 10)

- in order to change or preview the value of the current parameter press the [SET] button

- by pressing [UP] or[DOWN] you can change the value of the edited parameter

- the modified value of a parameter can be confirmed by pressing the [SET] button or cancelled by

pressing [UP] and [DOWN]

(simultaneously), which will in turn display the name of the parameter

2. Via RS485/RS232 portor the AR955 programming set and the ARSOFT-WZ1 computer software:

- connect the referencing-unit to the computer port and start the ARSOFT-WZ1 application

- after the connection has been established, the current setpoint is displayed in the program

window.

- setting and previewing the parameters of the device is available in the parameter configuration

window.

the new parameter values must be confirmed by pressing Approve changes

- the current configuration can be saved to a file, values can be also loaded from a file

CAUTION:

Do not use both the RS485/RS232 port and the AR955 programming set at the same time, because

this will cause communication errors.

To restore the factory settings when turning the device on simultaneously press[UP]and [DOWN] buttons

until the password entry menu appears (), and then enter the code . Alternatively, you can use

the default configuration file in ARSOFT-WZ1.

11. SOFT START/STOP AND TRIANGLE WAVE GENERATOR

The device is equipped with the function of a ramp (soft start and stop) operating according to the

diagrams below (Figures 11.1, 11.2, 11.3). In order to start the function, the soft start time (ascending

slope, parameter 8) must be configured:Chapter 10) or of the soft stop (falling slope, 9:) and

the method of triggering (triggering, 10: ). If both times are non-zero (8:and 9: ) a

periodical triangle wave is generated at the outputs. The limit values (amplitudes) of the output signals

are defined by the following parameters 2:, 3:, 4: and 5:.

This function is activated automatically after the power supply is switched on (when parameter 10:

= ) or manually (10: = ) with the [SET] button (hold pressed for longer than 1.5 sec). In

addition, the ramp can be stopped and restarted at any time by pressing the [SET]button (a momentary

message  appears for start or  - for stop).

Output status in this mode is automatically updated 4 times per second.
