Risk of electric shock
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 EN 1010, 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.
. 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 EN 1010. Briefly, under normal op-
erating conditions, hazardous voltages are defined as being > 30V RMS (42.2V peak) or > 0V dc.

USER MANUAL
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.
The recorder instrument time can be updated from a unicast (i.e. point-to-point) Simple Network Time Protocol
(SNTP) server and is also itself an SNTP server. SNTP time is based on elapsed seconds since 00:00 hrs on 1st Jan
1900 GMT and is affected neither by time zones nor by daylight saving. The relevant TCP port number is 123. See
sections 4.3.1 (Instrument configuration), 4.5.1 (Network Address configuration) and B in Annex B, for more details.
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
Figure 2.1 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
WARNING
DC supply voltages must never be applied to recorders fitted with isolated transmitter power supplies.
Note: The minimum recommended wire size is 1 /0.2 (0.5mm2).
LINE 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 2 5 V RMS (47 to 3 Hz), and
requires 0 VA max. power. For recorders without transmitter power supplies, supply voltages of between 110V dc
and 370V dc may also be used.

LOW VOLTAGE SUPPLY OPTION
Not suitable for recorders fitted with the isolated transmitter power supply
option.
The low voltage supply option is terminated at a three-pin connector (plug
mounted on recorder - socket on supply cable) as shown in figure 2.2.2.
The option allows the use of ac or dc supplies with the following charac-
teristics:
AC: 20 to 42V RMS (45 to 400 Hz)
DC: 20 to 54V (See warning above)
Power: 0VA max.
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.
Note: Dialogue boxes, message boxes etc. cause Process Variable displays to 'freeze' for as long as the box is
on display. Root and Option menus (amongst others) time-out (i.e. are removed from the display) after
approximately one minute. Messages, however, are displayed until the operator takes action to remove them.
It should be noted, especially, that several message boxes may be active at one time, but only the oldest one is
visible, until it is removed to reveal the 'next oldest' message, and so on.

3 PROCESS VARIABLE DISPLAY (Cont.)
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. If the available space is
still too restricted, the value is displayed in 'Scientific' format, or if this is still too wide, the final visible character of
the integer part of the display is replaced by a '?'.
CURRENT CHANNEL ALARM ICONS
In each of the different types of PV display, each channel's faceplate give the status of the channel's alarms. This
status is shown by one of the icons depicted in table 3, either off, flashing (if it is active and unacknowledged) or on
continuously (if it is active and acknowledged). See section 3.1.3, below, for a description of how to acknowledge
alarms, and section 4.3.3 for a description of the alarm types. Absolute alarm threshold icons and deviation-alarm
bars appear in any display which includes a scale. For deviation alarms, the bar stretches from (Reference - Devia-
tion) to (Reference + Deviation).
Notes
1. For software versions 2.3 onwards, 32MB versions of the recorder come with four alarms per point, in-
stead of two per point as supplied with previous software versions. The System/About display can be
used establish what size of DRAM s fitted - see section 4. .5.
2. 'Trigger' alarms do not display threshold marks or bars, or faceplate symbols.

3.1.3 Alarm indicators
This area of the display can contain up to four icons: Instrument alarm, Channel alarm, Battery change, Disk status.
Pressing this area of the screen calls a pop-up display (figure 3.1.3a) allowing the user to view messages to acknowl-
edge all channel alarms, or to display the Alarm Summary page. Also incorporated in this display is a slider control
allowing the user to optimise the display contrast for the local environment. For channel alarm symbols, refer to 'Cur-
rent Trace Alarm Icons', above.
ALARM SUMMARY PAGE
As shown in figure 3.1.3a, below, the alarm summary page contains the following information:
1. Alarm identifier. This appears as a point ID, followed by the relevant alarm number in parentheses. For exam-
ple, Alarm 1 on maths channel would appear as: D (1). Maths channels are prefixed by 'D'. Totalisers are
prefixed by 'T' and Counters are prefixed by 'C'. Input channels are not prefixed.
2 Alarm threshold for absolute alarms only
3 The current process value for the point
4 An alarm symbol (see Table 3). Alarm symbols flash until acknowledged.
Notes:
1. Alarms are always listed in Point/Alarm order with input channels first, followed by derived chan-
nels, totalisers and counters, if these options are fitted.
2 When the alarm source returns to its non-alarm state: Unlatched alarms are removed from the list
whether or not they have been acknowledged; latched alarms remain displayed until acknowledged.
See section 4.3.3 for a description of alarm types and actions.
3. There are no time or history components associated with the Alarm Summary. If Alarm messages have
been enabled in the relevant group's configuration (section 4.3.2), then alarm initiation/acknowledgement
times and dates can be found from the trend and trend history displays, described in section 3.4, or in
Message log, described in section 3.2.1.
4. If an alarm is active on a channel which is not included in either group, then although the channel alarm
symbol will flash, the alarm will not appear in the alarm summary pages.

3.1.3 ALARM INDICATORS (Cont.)
ALARM ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Alarms can be acknowledged globally (all alarms), individually or on a group basis.
ALL ALARMS
To acknowledge all active alarms, touch (e.g.) the channel alarm icon at the top of the screen. From the resulting pop-
up menu, select 'Ack all Alarms', then finally, touch 'Yes' in the resulting pop-up confirmation box. Figure 3.1.3a,
above, attempts to show this process.
INDIVIDUAL ALARMS
Individual alarms are acknowledged from the alarm summary page by touching the relevant item (highlights yellow),
then touching 'Yes' in the resulting pop-up confirmation box. Figure 3.1.3a, above, attempts to show this process.
GROUP ALARMS
For recorders with multiple groups, alarms can be acknowledged on a group basis by calling the alarm summary page
for the relevant group, then pressing the Root menu Options key (section 3.2), the 'Ack Group Alarms' key and finally,
'Yes' in the resulting pop-up confirmation box. Figure 3.1.3b, below, attempts to show this process.

3.1.3 ALARM INDICATORS (Cont.)
INSTRUMENT ALARMS
This indicator appears, flashing, if any of the following alarms are active. The Instrument alarm summary page, de-
scribed above, allows the user to view any such alarms.
Archive failed -(message) Message explains archive failure - due to disk being missing, write protected,
faulty, full etc.
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 input channel circuit
Channel error Indicates a hardware failure in the channel circuit or in the internal CJ temperature
measurement
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. Server time forced to 00:00 1/1/1900.
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.
FTP Primary Server Failure This error is set if the recorder fails, after two attempts, to establish communica-
tions with the primary server as defined in Archive Configuration (section 4.3.5).
After the second attempt has failed, the Secondary server is tried.
FTP Secondary Server Failure This error is set if the recorder fails, after two attempts, to establish communica-
tions with the secondary server as defined in Archive Configuration (section 4.3.5).
See also 'FTP Primary Server Failure, above.
Insufficient non-volatile memory... There is insufficient memory available for the configuration. Sometimes caused by
the use of the Rolling Average maths function.
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.
Internal flash: \history\ required repair Error found (in the internal file system) at power-up, and corrected.
Maths Channel failure Appears, for example, if the divisor of a divide function passes through zero.
Network boot failure The recorder is unable to establish connection with the bootP server. This might be
caused by, for example, cable failure, network hardware failure, etc.
Recording failure - (message) Message explains recording failure e.g. file error, internal overflow etc.
Removable media failure This error is set if the disk is corrupt, wrongly formatted etc. Becomes active only
when an Archive is attempted.
Removable media full Floppy disk or PC card full. Becomes active only when an Archive is in progress.
SNTP server failure This alarm is set if:-
a) the year received from the server is < 2001 or > 2035 or
b) the configured SNTP server cannot be accessed
Time synchronisation failure Set if 5 or more 'Time change events' are caused by the SNTP server within 24 hrs.
A 'Time change event' is defined as occuring whenever the recorder time is found
to be more than 2 seconds different from the server time. The alarm does not ap-
pear until 24 hours after the first of the five-or-more Time Change events occurred.
