SAFETY NOTES
Warning: Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside the apparatus, or dis-
connection of the protective earth terminal is likely to make the apparatus dangerous
under some fault conditions. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
Warning: Live sensors: The unit is designed to operate if the temperature sensor is connected
directly to an electrical heating element. It must be ensured that service personnel
do not touch connections to such inputs whilst the inputs are live. With live sensors,
all cables, connections and switches for connecting the sensor must be mains rated
for use in 240V Cat II.
Warning: Grounding the temperature sensor shield: Where it is common practice to replace
the temperature sensor whilst the instrument is live, it is recommended that the
shield of the temperature sensor be grounded to safety earth, as an additional
protection against electric shock.
Warning: The instrument must not be wired to a three-phase supply with an unearthed star
connection, because, under fault conditions, such a supply could rise above 240V
RMS with respect to ground, thus rendering the instrument unsafe.
Note: Safety requirements for permanently connected equipment state:
a. A switch or circuit breaker shall be included in the building installation
b. It shall be in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator.
c. It shall be marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment.
Note: Recommended external fuse ratings are: 2A Type T 250V.

nanodac RECORDER/CONTROLLER: USER GUIDE
Page 2 HA030554 Issue 9 Mar 15
1. This instrument is intended for industrial temperature and process control applications within the require-
ments of the European directives on safety and EMC.
2. Installation may be carried out only by qualified personnel.
3. To prevent hands or metal tools coming into contact with parts that are electrically live the instrument
must be installed in an enclosure.
4. Where conductive pollution (e.g. condensation, carbon dust) is likely, adequate air conditioning/filtering/
sealing etc. must be installed in the enclosure.
5. The mains supply fuse within the power supply is not replaceable. If it is suspected that the fuse is faulty,
the manufacturer’s local service centre should be contacted for advice.
6. Whenever it is likely that protection has been impaired, the unit shall be made inoperative, and secured
against accidental operation. The manufacturer’s nearest service centre should be contacted for advice.
7. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment might be impaired.
8. The unit must be wired according to the instructions in this manual.
9. Before any other connection is made, the protective earth terminal shall be connected to a protective con-
ductor. The mains (supply voltage) wiring must be terminated in such a way that, should it slip, the Earth
wire would be the last wire to become disconnected. The protective earth terminal must remain con-
nected (even if the equipment is isolated from the mains supply), if any of the I/O circuits are connected to
hazardous voltages*.
The protective earth connection must always be the first to be connected and the last to be disconnected.
Wiring must comply with all local wiring regulations, e.g. in the UK, the latest IEEE wiring regulations
(BS7671) and in the USA, NEC class 1 wiring methods.
10. Signal and supply voltage wiring should be kept separate from one another. Where this is impractical,
shielded cables should be used for the signal wiring.SAFETY NOTES (Cont.)
11.
The maximum continuous voltage applied between any of the following terminals must not exceed 240Vac.
1.Relay output to logic, dc or sensor input connections
2.Any connection to ground.
The ac supply must not be connected to sensor input or low-level inputs or outputs.
12. Over temperature protection: A separate over-temperature protection unit (with an independent tempera-
ture sensor) should be fitted to isolate the process heating circuit should a fault condition arise.
Alarm relays within the recorder/controller do not give protection under all fault conditions/
13. In order to allow the power supply capacitors to discharge to a safe voltage, the supply must be discon-
nected at least two minutes before the instrument is removed from its sleeve. The touching of the
exposed electronics of an instrument which has been removed from its sleeve should be avoided.
14. Instrument labels may be cleaned using iso-propyl alcohol, or water or water-based products. A mild
soap solution may be used to clean other exterior surfaces.
* A full definition of ‘Hazardous’ voltages appears under ‘Hazardous live’ in BS EN61010. Briefly, under nor-
mal operating conditions, hazardous voltages are defined as being > 30V RMS (42.2V peak) or > 60V dc.

USB DEVICE PRECAUTIONS
1. Precautions against electrostatic discharge should be taken when the instrument terminals are being
accessed. The USB and Ethernet connections are particularly vulnerable.
2. Ideally, the USB device should be plugged directly into the instrument, as the use of extension leads may
compromise the instrument’s ESD compliance. Where the instrument is being used in an electrically
‘noisy’ environment however, it is recommended that the user brings the USB socket to the front of the
panel using a short extension lead. This is because the USB may ‘lock up’ or reset in noisy environments
and the only means of recovery is to remove the device, then re-insert it. For memory sticks, EMC-related
failure during a write operation might cause corruption of the data held on the stick. For this reason, the
data on the memory stick should be backed up before insertion and checked after removal.
3. When using a USB extension cable, a high quality screened cable must be used. The total length of USB
cable between the device and the USB port must not exceed 3 metres (10 ft.)
4. Most barcode readers and keyboards are not designed for use in industrial EMC environments, and their
operation in such environments may result in impaired performance of the recorder/controller.
32-BIT RESOLUTION
Floating point values are stored in IEEE 32-bit single precision format. Values which require greater resolution
than is available in this format are rounded up or down.
SYMBOLS USED ON THE RECORDER LABELLING
One or more of the symbols below may appear as a part of the recorder labelling.
Note: The use of U3 USB Flash drives is not recommended.

1 INTRODUCTION
This document describes the installation, operation and configuration of a paperless graphic recorder/control-
ler. The instrument comes, as standard with four input channels and is equipped, for secure archiving via FTP
transfer and/or to USB memory stick.
1.1 UNPACKING THE INSTRUMENT
The instrument is despatched in a special pack, designed to give adequate protection during transit. Should
the outer box show signs of damage, it should be opened immediately, and the contents examined. If there is
evidence of damage, the instrument should not be operated and the local representative contacted for instruc-
tions. After the instrument has been removed from its packing, the packing should be examined to ensure that
all accessories and documentation have been removed. The packing should then be stored against future
transport requirements.
2 INSTALLATION
2.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Figure 2.1.1 gives installation details.
2.1.1 Installation Procedure
1. If it is not already in place, fit the IP65 sealing gasket behind the front bezel of the instrument.
2. Insert the instrument through the panel cutout, from the front of the panel.
3. Spring the retaining clips into place, and secure the instrument by holding it firmly in place whilst pushing
both clips towards the rear face of the panel.
4. The protective membrane can now be removed from the display.

2.1.2 Demounting
1. Isolate the mains supply and secure it against accidental operation. Remove all wiring and the USB
device and Ethernet cable (if any).
2. Remove the retaining springs by unhooking them from the sides using a small flat-blade screwdriver.
3. Pull the instrument forwards out of the panel.
2.1.3 Removing the Instrument from its Sleeve
The instrument is designed to be removed from its sleeve from the front panel. However, if a USB memory stick
or the Ethernet cable is fitted then this must be removed first.
When the instrument is shipped from the factory it is fitted with two small red clips, one in the top side of the
sleeve and the other below. These are intended as a safeguard against removal of the instrument from its
sleeve when an Ethernet cable is fitted. These clips must also be removed, using a small screwdriver, before
the instrument can be taken out of its sleeve.
Ease the latching ears (Figure 2.1) outwards and pull the controller forward.
When plugging back in ensure that the latching ears click into place to maintain the panel sealing.
Warning: Before removing the supply voltage wiring, isolate the supply voltage and secure it
against unintended operation.

2.2.2 Low Voltage Option
This option allows the use of a low voltage ac or dc 24 V supply. The specification in Appendix A gives full
details. The polarity of the dc supply connection is not important - it may be connected either way round.
2.2.3 Dual Input Option
This is a cost option, enabled on a channel-by-channel basis by means of entering the relevant password in the
‘Feature3 Pass’ field in Instrument.Security menu described in Section 4.1.6.
For each enabled channel, a pairof thermocouple, mVor mA inputs can be connectedto the instrument. These
inputs are called ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’, and are terminated at the analogue input terminals (An In1 to An In
4) as shown in ‘figure 2.2, above. The primary inputs 1 to 4 are assigned to channels 1 to 4, as normal. Each
secondary input must be soft wired to a maths channel configured as Operation = ‘Copy’ if it is to be recorded/
displayed/alarmed etc.
Soft wiring is described in Section 7
Maths channels are described in Section 4.5.1
Channel configuration is described in Section 4.4.1
Input adjust is carried out as described in Section 4.1.9
SAMPLE RATE
For dual input channels, both primary and secondary sample rate is reduced to 4 Hz (250ms) from the normal
8Hz (125ms).
SENSOR BREAK DETECTION
Input sensor break detection is not supported for secondary inputs. The internal circuit acts as a ‘pull up’ on the
secondary input which therefore saturates high in the event of a sensor break.
DUAL MILLIAMP OFFSET CORRECTION
If ‘Dual mA’ is selected as input type, then an automatic offset correction will be made, according to the shunt
value entered in channel configuration.
INPUT RANGE LIMITATION
There is no 10V range associated with the secondary input. Any input greater than +2V or less than -2V is
deemed to be ‘bad range’.
2.2.4 Modbus Master communications
The master instrument can be connected directly to up to two slaves using standard ethernet network cable
either directly (single slave only) or via a hub or switch (one or two slaves). In either case, ‘straight through’ or
‘crossover’ cable may be used. The cable is terminated at the RJ45 socket at the rear of the unit.
2.2.5 EtherNet/IP
The Client and Server are connected in the same way as describedabove for Modbus Master communications,
except that there can be only one client and one server.
Note: Due to the nature of the input circuit, a large offset may appear for secondary thermocouple
inputs. This offset can be removed only by using the input adjust feature described in Sec-
tion 4.1.9 Because of this offset, the dual thermocouple input option is not suitable for
AMS2750D applications

3 OPERATION
On power up a default or custom splash screen appears and remains visible whilst the unit is ini-
tialising. If during this process a network broadcast storm is detected, the unit stops, displaying a
network failure icon until the broadcast storm has cleared, after which the initialisation process re-
sumes.
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The operator interface consists of a display screen and four push buttons.
3.1.1 Display Screen
The display screen is used both to display channel information (in one of a number of display modes), and to
display the various configuration screens which allow the user to setup the recorder to display the required
channels, to set up alarms and so on. Display modes are described in Section 3.4 below; configuration is de-
scribed in Section 4.
In display mode, the screen is split horizontally into three areas (figure 3.1.1)
1. a faceplate giving channel details.
2. the main display screen showing channel traces etc.
3. the status area, displaying instrument name, the current time and date and any system icons.
Figure 3.1.1 Display mode screen (vertical trend)
In configuration mode, the entire display screen is devoted to the selected configuration menu.
3.1.2 Navigation Pushbuttons
Figure 3.1.2 Top level menu (Engineer level access)
There are four navigation buttons, called ‘Page’, ‘Scroll’, ‘Lower’ and ‘Raise’ located below the screen. The gen-
eralproperties ofthesebuttons aredescribedin theremainderof thissection, butsome haveadditional,context
sensitive functions, which, for the sake of clarity are not described here but in the relevant sections (e.g. ‘Mes-
sage summary’) of the manual.
