1.0 DESCRIPTION
This device is typically used to store frac or pumping unit parameters (see example
file on following page). The data is provided from a serial input. No characters
such as line feed or carriage return are added by the data recorder except the
header record (if selected – refer to section 3.2).
The data is stored in a DOS text file format onto a 512MB compact flash card.
The device is certified for use in a zone 2 or Class 1 Div 2 area. It is certified to an
ATEX standard (see certification document on last page).

3.0 OPERATING AND SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 MOUNTING
To mount the box, first remove the lid. Locate the hole in each of the four
corners (refer to section 2.0). Insert ¼” socket head screws into these holes.
The screws can then attach it to a plate or screw into matched drilled holes.
3.2 SET THE HEADER RECORD JUMPER
Jumper J2 on the PCB board (see below) determines if the header block
(refer to section 4) is written at the beginning of each date file.
Jumper J1 is used for programming and must remain on for operation.
