SAFETY NOTES
WARNING
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside the apparatus, or disconnection of the
protective earth terminal is likely to make the apparatus dangerous under some fault conditions. Inten-
tional interruption is prohibited.
Note: in order to comply with the requirements of safety standard BS EN61010, the recorder shall have one
of the following as a disconnecting device, fitted within easy reach of the operator, and labelled as the discon-
necting device.
a A switch or circuit breaker which complies with the requirements of IEC947-1 and IEC947-3
b. A separable coupler which can be disconnected without the use of a tool
c. A separable plug, without a locking device, to mate with a socket outlet in the building.
1. Before any other connection is made, the protective earth terminal shall be connected to a protective conductor.
The mains (supply voltage) wiring must be terminated within the connector in such a way that, should it slip in
the cable clamp, the Earth wire would be the last wire to become disconnected.
2. In the case of portable equipment, the protective earth terminal must remain connected (even if the recorder is
isolated from the mains supply), if any of the I/O circuits are connected to hazardous voltages*.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened apparatus under voltage, should be avoided as far as possi-
ble and, if inevitable, shall be carried out only by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.
6. Where conductive pollution (e.g. condensation, carbon dust) is likely, adequate air conditioning/filtering/sealing
etc. must be installed in the recorder enclosure.
7. 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.
8. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
might be impaired.
* A full definition of 'Hazardous' voltages appears under 'Hazardous live' in BS EN61010. Briefly, under normal op-
erating conditions, hazardous voltages are defined as being > 30V RMS (42.2V peak) or > 60V dc.

USER GUIDE
1 INTRODUCTION
This document describes the installation, operation and configuration of a 100mm graphics recorder. The recorder
has the facility for FTP transfer and Remote viewer connection if the Ethernet option is fitted.
1.1 UNPACKING THE RECORDER
The recorder 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 recorder examined. If there is evidence of dam-
age, the instrument should not be operated and the local representative contacted for instructions. After the recorder
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
Figures 2.1a gives installation details.
Note: It is recommended that the rear face of the panel be centre-punched at suitable positions to locate the
tips of the case clamps. Otherwise, particularly on smooth surfaces, the clamps can 'wander' as they are
tightened, leading to inefficient clamping and possible damage to the recorder mounting slots.
The unit is inserted through the panel aperture from the front of the panel. With the weight of the recorder supported,
a panel clamp is inserted into each of the mounting slots (one each on the left- and right-hand sides). The jacking
screws are then tightened sufficiently to clamp the recorder into position. EXCESS FORCE SHOULD NOT BE
USED IN TIGHTENING THESE SCREWS.

2.2.2 Supply voltage wiring
AC SUPPLY
The supply voltage to the recorder is terminated using an IEC socket which is connected to the mating plug at the rear
of the recorder. The recorder is suitable for use with all ac voltages between 85 and 265 V RMS (47 to 63 Hz), and
requires 60 VA max. power.
The minimum recommended wire size is 16/0.2 (0.5mm2).
2.3 DISK INSERTION AND REMOVAL
The disk slot is located below the recorder screen, and is protected by a flap as shown in figure 2.1, above.
In order to access the disk slot, the bottom of the central part of the flap is lifted (figure 2.3a) and then used as a han-
dle to pull the main flap open.
If a disk is already fitted, it is removed by pressing on the eject button (figure 2.3b).
Note: Before disk removal, archiving should be suspended (section 4.1) (wait for the green LED on the disk
drive to be extinguished), otherwise data might be lost.

3 PROCESS VARIABLE DISPLAY
The operator interface consists of a touch-sensitive screen, showing either process variable values in one of a number
of formats, or, showing configuration or operational details for use in setting up the recorder. This section (3) de-
scribes the process variable displays. Section 4 describes the Configuration displays.
Figure 3, below, depicts a typical trend display and gives details of the various areas of the display page.
TRUNCATION OF NUMERIC VALUES
If the amount of space on the display page is insufficient to display the full width of the process variable or scale
value, then the displayed value is rounded down and the number of decimal places reduced.
CURRENT TRACE ALARM ICONS
In each of the different types of PV display, each channel's faceplate give the status of the channel's two alarms. This
status is shown by a red arrow head, pointing upwards if the alarm is absolute high, or downwards if absolute low. As
described in section 4.3.2 (Channel/alarm configuration) the alarms may be both high, or both low, or one may be
high and the other low. If the arrow head is flashing it is active and unacknowledged; if it is on continuously, the
alarm is active and acknowledged. See section 3.1.3, below, for a description of how to acknowledge alarms.

3.1 STATUS BAR
This appears across the top of the display, and contains the items described below.
3.1.1 Current access level
There are four access levels available (Logged out, Operator, Engineer and Service), and the current level is displayed
in this key at the top left hand corner of the display. Touching this key calls the root menu as described in section
3.2.1 (Key functions) below. If 'user IDs' have been entered in the 'Add User' part of the Security setup, then the cur-
rent user Id is displayed instead of the access level.
3.1.2 Page name
Initially this shows the current group's descriptor. The name changes according to context for example 'Operator' or
'Config-Archive'.
3.1.3 Error/alarm indicators
This area of the display can contain up to four icons: System error, Channel alarm, Battery change, Disk status. Press-
ing this area of the screen calls a pop-up display (figure 3.1.3) giving the option to view messages or to acknowledge

3.1.3 ERROR/ALARM INDICATORS (Cont.)
SYSTEM ERROR
This indicator appears, flashing, if any of the following errors are active. The view messages page shows any active
errors:
Archive failed -(message) Message explains archive failure - due to disk being missing, write protected,
faulty, full etc.
Clock failure Internal clock was corrupt at power up, or the time has never been set. Can be
caused by battery failure, in which case the battery icon will also be visible. The
error is cleared by setting the time and date.
Battery-backed RAM cleared This message appears if the battery has failed, and the unit has been switched off.
Channel failure Indicates a hardware failure in the channel circuit
Channel error Indicates a hardware failure in the channel circuit or in the internal CJ tempera-
ture measurement
Failed to authenticate the user name and/or password supplied
Appears if an incorrect user name or password has been entered whilst trying to
establish remote viewer connection.
Floppy disk worn Appears if a number of attempts had to be made before write to the disk was suc-
cessful. No data is lost, but the disk should be replaced as soon as is practicable.
Floppy disk corrupt This appears if all attempts to write to the disk fail. In such a case, some data may
be lost. If the damaged area of the disk is in the system part of the disk, it might
appear to the recorder that it is unformatted, and the disk icon will disappear. The
disk should be replaced immediately.
Internal flash: \user\ required repair Error found (in the internal file system) at power-up, and corrected.
Internal flash: \system\ required repair Error found (in the internal file system) at power-up, and corrected.

Home Causes a return to the 'Home' page from any page in the recorder.
As delivered, the 'Home' page is the vertical trend display as de-
picted in figure 3, but this can be edited (in Operator/System -
Setup) to be any of the available display modes - Horizontal trend,
Vertical bargraph, Horizontal bargraph, Numeric etc.
Operator Causes the top level Operator page to appear. The appearance of this display is dictated by the security
level that the recorder is set to, and by the access level of the user. As despatched from the factory, the
recorder is in 'logged out' mode and the Operator page contains only the buttons labelled 'Archive', 'Secu-
rity' and System. Further details appear in 'Access to configuration' below.
File Allows the file system in that area of Flash memory that is accessible to the user, and the file system on
any floppy disk fitted to be viewed. See section 5 for details.
Cycle Causes the next display mode to be selected for process variable display. Initially, the sequence is Trace
(on white background), vertical bargraph, horizontal bargraph, numeric. Though the order in which these
displays appear cannot be changed, all modes can be enabled/disabled in the Operator/System-Setup con-
figuration page. Tracing on a dark background is an alternative mode to tracing on a white background,
not an additional mode.
Login Calls the login page described in section 3.3.1, below
Options Used for a number of functions depending on the context. For example, entering or exiting trend review
mode, or calling the filer option pop-up.
To quit the Root menu, touch the root key again.
3.2 NAVIGATION KEYS
These keys allow the user to perform various context-related tasks such as to access the recorder configuration, to
archive data etc. In addition to this, left and right arrow keys or open/close folder keys appear where relevant.

3.3 FIRST SWITCH-ON
There is no on/off switch associated with the recorder.
When power is applied the recorder initialises, and once this process is complete, the home page is displayed. It is
unlikely that this will contain any useful information because the input channels will not, as yet, have been configured
to suit the type of input signals being applied to them, as described in section 4.
The recorder has four security levels as follows
Logged out Initially, no access to recorder configuration is possible. Only Archive, Login/security and the System
'About' functions can be accessed - via the root menu. Limited or full access can be permitted from
'Engineer' level.
Operator No access to recorder configuration is possible until access permission has been set up. Limited or full
access can be permitted from 'Engineer' level, either with or without a separate password.
Engineer Accessed initially, by entering '10' as the password. Full access to all recorder functions is available.
The Engineer password can be edited and an Operator level password can be entered. Access permis-
sion to some or all of the recorder functions can be granted, or not, to the operator and/or logged out
security levels.
Service Full access to all recorder functions and to areas of recorder memory for diagnostic purposes. For use
only by Service Engineers.
3.3.1 Access to Configuration
1 Once the recorder has initialised, touch the Root key, followed by 'Login'. Touching the 'Logged out' field in the
resulting display, calls the access level picklist as shown in figure 3.3.1a.
2 Press 'Engineer' to call the Password request page.
3 Touching the blank Password area calls the keyboard display (see figure 3.3.1b).
4 Touch <Numeric><1><0><OK> to enter the password '10'. The screen reverts to the 'Home' page.

3.3.1 ACCESS TO CONFIGURATION (Cont.)
TEXT STRING ENTRY
The keyboard which appears when the password area is touched is the same as that which appears when any non-
numeric text string entry is required (e.g. channel descriptor). Figures 3.3.1b and 3.3.1c below are an attempt, within
the limitations of the illustrating process, to depict the available keyboards and thus the available character set. Actual
entry of the text string is by touching the relevant key. For items which require only a numeric entry (e.g. channel
range) the numeric keyboard appears.
When editing existing text strings, the existing text string appears highlighted, and will be replaced in its entirety by
the first character entered. To avoid this, the left arrow key can be touched to 'unhighlight' it.
Immediately below the keyboard are six keys with the functions listed below. When active, the background colour
changes to yellow for as long as the key is active.
Shift* Once the shift key has been pressed, the next-entered letter appears as a capital; subsequent letters are in
lower case.
Caps* When pressed, all subsequent letters appear as capital letters until the Caps key is operated again
BSpc This backspace key deletes character to the left of the cursor.
Ovr If selected, the next-entered character replaces (overwrites) the existing character to the right of the cursor
position. If not selected, the next-entered character in inserted into the existing text string at the cursor posi-
tion.
Ok Used to save the new text string and to return to the page from which the keyboard was called.
Cancel Causes a return to the page from which the keyboard was called without saving the new string.
*Note: The character on each display key is always a capital letter, whether or not the actual character being
entered is in capitals or lower case.
