 the operating time depends on the measuring period, the presence of the LCD and ambient temperature. Exemplary, approximate operating times 

at 20÷30°C, with undisturbed radio transmission and 

 inactive retransmitter function

 (increasing the range): 

Measurement period 

1 min  

5 min 

10 min 

20 min 

40 min 

60 min 

working time with / 

without LCD 

7/5 months (also when no 

communication with AR40x) 

12/8 months 

20/11 months 

32/13 months 

45/14 months 

51/16 

months 

- using an accessory USB power adapter may extend the battery life of up to 8 years. 

The USB power adapter should be also used in retransmitter mode

 

(increasing the range), then the battery operates only as a standby power supply (sufficient for 1÷3 weeks of continuous operation)
