RS-485 CONNECTION
AR2-S-24VDC-MB1 has a selectable internal line termination for MODBUS line for easy commissioning that
can be activated easily with en external bridge connection. Please consult to the following documentation for
line termination details advised for a MODBUS RS-485 line;

CLAEANING
• Do not use any solvents (alcohol, thinners, benzine, acid, etc.) or corrosive substances to clean the device.
Use only a dry and clean non-abrasive cloth. Before cleaning, disconnect the power supply and mains
connections.
AR2-S-24VDC-MB1 has an internal line termination circuitry for the MODBUS RS-485 line that can be activated
easily with an external connection.
Internal line termination circuitry is composed of an “1nF” capacitor connected series with an “120 Ohm” resistor
connected in series. On end of the line termination circuitry is connected to (“-”) pin of MODBUS RS-485
connection internally. The other end is connected to (“LT”) pin for external activation.
In order to activate internal line termination circuitry, simply short circuit (“LT”) pin to (“+”) pin of MODBUS RS-485
line.
Line termination may be required only for the devices at the end of a RS-485 line (2 devices only). Line termination
is not done for the devices connected somewhere in between the two ends.
Internal line termination circuitry may not always give a good result for your application. Please check
communication performance before and after line termination is done.
