1. RULES OF SAFE USE

 

Before using the device, carefully read this manual and ensure proper working conditions, in accordance with technical 
data (chapter 4, humidity, temperature, etc.), also do not expose the recorder and measurement probe to direct and 
strong influence of thermal radiation. 

The device has been designed to provide an adequate level of resistance to most of the disturbances that can occur in 
working environments. However, in environments with an unknown level of interference, it is recommended to use the 
following measures to prevent any possible disruption of the device's operation: 

a)

 avoid routing the measuring probe in the immediate vicinity and parallel to the power and supply lines 

b)

 avoid proximity of devices with radio communication, high power, with phase or group power control and other 

devices generating large electromagnetic, conducted and radiated interference  

c)

 ground or neutralize the metal rails on which the rail devices are mounted  

Before starting working with the device, remove the protective foil of the LCD display. 

 

2. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RECORDERS

 

 

registration of humidity and/or temperature of air or other neutral gases with display of measurements 

 

available models: 

AR236.B

 (relative humidity and temperature measurement), 

AR232.B

 (temperature measurement) 

 

configurable architecture enabling use in many fields and applications (for industrial, office and residential 
environments, inside and outside buildings, e.g. warehousing, production, transport, food sector, pharmacy, 
medicine, gardening, laboratories and others) 

 

saving data in a standard text file located in the internal memory of the recorder in the FAT system with the option of 
reading through the USB interface and available software and editing in any spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel or 
OpenOffice Calc 

 

high quality and accuracy digital relative humidity (%RH) and/or temperature (°C/°F) sensor with a protective filter 
(measuring probe integrated with the casing or external one on the cable) 

 

tight casing (IP65 protection level) ensures high operational reliability due to high resistance against penetration of 
water and dust and harmful condensation of steam inside the device 

 

portable casing with a handle for easy mounting on vertical and horizontal surfaces (after using an additional table 
base or other user's solutions) 

 

two-line readable LCD display with icons and measuring units, showing measured values, operating and memory 
status of the device, battery level and other diagnostic messages 

 

the possibility of presenting current measurements (relative humidity and/or temperature), calculated values 
(dew/frost point [°C/°F] and absolute humidity [g/m3]), measurement statistics (maximum, minimum, average) and 
clock, available HOLD function (stopping measurements) 

 

power supply from durable AA lithium battery with easy replacement 

 

long working time on a new battery - up to 15 years, depending on the recording interval, device operating 
temperature, presence and method of alarm signalling and Bluetooth Low Energy radio communication status (BLE) 

 

internal clock with the possibility of precise correction of real time counting 

 

F button for quick selection of one of the programmed functions: date and time display, memory status, 
measurement statistics, measured or calculated values, START/STOP button blocking, alarm memory clearing, 
switching on/off the Bluetooth wireless communication (BLE, optional equipment) 

 

programmable function of START/STOP button: measurement refresh only, start/stop or pause/resume of recording 
(with or without HOLD function), presentation of memory status (recording method, number of occupied memory 
and how long will it be enough for) 

 

a wide range of ways to start recording (continuous, limited by date and time, periodic daily, only during an alarm or 
manually controlled with the START/STOP button) 

 

recording in endless mode (when the memory is full, the oldest archives are deleted) or until the memory is full 
(registration is stopped), total capacity up to 104/94 thousand (AR232.B/AR236.B) records 

 

programmable archive file size for endless record (number of records) 

 

included free software (for Windows 7/8/10) enabling reading and graphical or text presentation of recorded results 
(ARSOFT-LOG) and configuration and copying of device parameters (ARSOFT-CFG), updates available on the website 

 

free application for mobile devices (smartphone or tablet) to read measurements via the Bluetooth Low Energy 
interface (MyAmbience for

 Android

 to be downloaded from Google Play and for iOS from the App Store, for 

SHT31 

Smart Gadget

 from Sensirion, English version)
