1. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES The device is designed so as to ensure an appropriate level of immunity to most interferences that may occur in industrial environments. In environments of unknown level of interferences, it is recommended to implement the following measures so as to prevent potential interference with the operation of the device: use shielded sensor, and signal cables, whereby the earthing of the shield should be single-point and located as close to the device as possible;...
protection against incorrect battery polarity; available accessories: − a lithium battery, 3.6 V, type AA (R6), 2450 mAh (e.g. SAFT LS14500); − an SD memory card (2 GB); − SD/MMC card reader; − a stabilized power supply, 5 V/150 mA; NOTE: −...

7. CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER AND INSTALLATION OF DRIVERS After the first connection, the Windows (XP/Vista/7/8/10) system detects the recorder named “APAR USB DEVICE” and demands installation of drivers. In the find new device wizard, manually indicate the location of the drivers on a CD-ROM, the DRIVERS catalog).
...) and two exchangeable disks: internal memory 4 MB with the AR234 label and SD/MMC memory (available after the card is put in the “SD/MMC CARD” slot). In the internal memory the configuration text file AR234.cfg can be seen (chapter 9).

NOTE: − before disconnecting the device from a computer, press the Disconnect device button − in the event of no response: − in the Software options, check the number of the COM port − make sure that the serial port drivers have been installed correctly (chapter 7) −...
9.1. TIME AND DATE The current time and date are used as time stamps for recording. Their review and modification are possible only from the level of the ARSOFT-CFG WZ1 software (item 1 of chapter 9). Table 9.1. Parameters of the real time clock (RTC) Parameter Range of variability of the parameter Time (hh:mm:ss)
SD card authorization demand is off 15:Prot saving to an archive is possible only on a card that contains SD card authorization the AR234.cfg configuration file with a conforming password demand (14:Pass) an individual device number entered into the initial records in the 16:ID (identification 0 ÷...
9.5. DISPLAY OPTIONS The display can work in one of the following two modes: economic (when parameter 17LCDmod=economic, Table 9.5) or continuous (LCDmod=continuous). In the economy mode, the display is switched on for several seconds after each measurement is performed in the recording mode or manually after the “COPY” button is pressed. This mode operation reduces the use of the battery to a minimum, thus extending the time of operation of the recorder without the need to change the battery.
SD/MMC card. The file name contains the device type (AR234), the identification number 16:ID, and the date and time of creation of the file, e.g. „AR234_1_2009-11-30_10-57-16.csv”. The format of a single data record is the following: “sequential number of the event;date;time;identifier of the event;measurement;internal...
− disconnection from the USB port (1, “USB;DISCONNEC”) − loading of new configuration parameters (3, “NEW;ON-LINE” or “NEW;OFF-LINE” ) − creation of a new “csv” file (4, “ID;xxxx”, where xxxx - value of parameter 16:ID of the device) − low battery voltage, below 3.35 V (6, “LVBAT;x.xx”, where x.xx - battery voltage [V]) To make a presentation of recorded results in a graphic form or as a text, and to print them, the ARSOFT-WZ3 software must be used;...
(internal memory or the SD/MMC card) and during operation of the ARSOFT-CFG WZ1 software. − keep a copy of the current configuration file (AR234.cfg) in external memory (SD/MMC card, computer disk, etc.) for the purpose of archiving and future off-line configuration.
