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. Intentional interruption
is prohibited.
Note: in order to comply with the requirements of safety standard BS EN61 1 , 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 EN61 1 . Briefly, under normal op-
erating conditions, hazardous voltages are defined as being > 3 V RMS (42.2V peak) or > 6 V dc.
SYMBOLS USED ON THE RECORDER LABELLING

USER GUIDE
1 INTRODUCTION
This document describes the installation, operation and configuration of a paperless graphic recorder. The recorder
comes in two versions, which differ in physical size, and in the number of I/O channels and options available, but oth-
erwise are identical (i.e. the operation and configuration procedures are the same for both).
The standard recorder comes equipped for FTP transfer and is also fitted with 'Bridge' (Remote viewing) software.
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 damage,
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 and 2.1b give installation details for the small and large frame cases respectively.
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.
