3.3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
General information
To comply with Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
certification, route signal leads and power cables in earthed (grounded), flexible metal conduit.
Connect proper Earth to the earthing terminal of the Paperless Recorder.
▪Instruments not fitted with the optional internal on/off switch and fuse must have a
disconnecting device such as a switch or circuit breaker conforming to local safety
standards fitted to the final installation. It must be fitted near the instrument within easy
reach of the operator and must be marked clearly as the disconnection device for the
instrument.
▪Remove all power from supply, relay and any powered control circuits and high common
mode voltages before accessing or making any connections.
▪Use cable appropriate for the load currents. The terminals accept cables up to 14AWG
(2.5mm1).
▪The instrument and all inputs and outputs conform to Mains Power Input Insulation
Category ll.
▪All connections to secondary circuits must have basic insulation.
▪After installation, there must be no access to live parts e.g. terminals.
▪Terminals for external circuits are for use only with equipment with no accessible live
parts.
▪If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the Company, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
▪All equipment connected to the instrument's terminals must comply with local safety
standards (IEC 60950, EN601010-1).
NOTE:
To ensure maximum recorder performance, proper wiring installation practices must be
followed. Failure to do so can result in a range of problems, from loss of configuration to
component failure, caused by transmitted or radiated electrical noise. Proper consideration must
be given to local noise sources and appropriate suppression steps taken to minimize any potential
problems. Among the most common sources of noise are: Relays, SCRs, valve solenoids, electric
motors, power line disturbance, wire-to-wire coupling, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and radio-
frequency interference (RFI).

To achieve the best results, the following notes should be considered:
1. Low level signal wiring such as that associated with thermocouples, RTDs and current
loops should always be kept separate from power and control output wiring.
2. Signal input wiring should be twisted pairs/triplets etc. The conductors should be
stranded rather than solid in construction. All signal wiring should use ground-shielded
wires or be routed through grounded conduit to minimize the effects of RFI andESD.
3. Exceptional care should be taken when wiring to relay or solenoid coils, as large transients
are produced when coils (or any other inductive loads like motors or arc welding
equipment’s etc.) are switched. This problem can be eliminated using suitable
suppression devices across the coil. Coil transients can also be transmitted through the
air, so the recorder itself should be mounted as far as possible from power control devices
and/or wiring.
4. When line power is poorly regulated and / or subject to voltage surges or transients,
consideration should be given to the use of a line conditioning/transient suppressing line
power regulator. Process control motors, valves, relays and heaters should not be
connected to the same power lines that are used for instrumentation.
5. The connection of the Paperless Recorder to a proper safety earth ground is essential.
Such a connection not only reduces the possibility of electric shock, but also provides the
required return for the Paperless Recorder line power filters.
6. All local electrical codes of practice must be followed when installing any instrumentation.

3.3.1 Wiring diagram for Paperless Recorder
Check for proper Earthing:
Proper Earthing is necessary for best performance of the Paperless Recorder. Follow the steps
mentioned below to check whether the earthing given is proper or not:
▪Find out the Phase line of connection with the help of “Tester with Neon Lamp”. When
Neon Lamp glows, it is an indication of the phase line.
▪Once Phase is found, the other hole which is in line of phase is the Neutral line.
▪The third hole which is apparently bigger in diameter is the Earthing line.
▪Now take the voltmeter with appropriate measurement range (normally 750VAC or
higher) and put the probes into PHASE and NEUTRAL line and take reading.
▪The voltage across PHASE and EARTH, and NEUTRAL and EARTH.
▪The voltage between Neutral and Earth Should not be more than 6V. If by any chance, it
is more than 30V, it is a serious fault on earth line. And must immediately be corrected.
Proper Earthing is essential for safety of the personnel and for the proper functioning of the
equipment.
Note: If connecting the instrument in the panel, panel and Paperless Recorder both should be
at the same earthing potential.

See the back panel of the Paperless Recorder, you will find all the connectors for wiring. As
shown in the following figure.
Figure 4- Back Panel of Paperless Recorder
The Paperless Recorder can be connected and configured to operate with a variety of signal
sources as thermocouple, RTD, DC current, DC voltage etc. The sensor wiring for different sensors
is shown as below:

3.3.1.1 Sensor wiring
To ensure maximum performance of Paperless Recorder, proper wiring installation practices
must be followed. Failure to do so can result in a range of problems, from loss of configuration
to component failure, caused by transmitted or radiated electrical noise. Proper consideration
must be given to local noise sources and appropriate suppression steps taken to minimize any
potential problems.
Among the most common sources of noise are: Relays, SCRs, valve solenoids, electric motors,
power line disturbance, wire-to-wire coupling, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and radio-frequency
interference (RFI).
1. To achieve the best results, the following notes should be considered:
Low level signal wiring such as that associated with thermocouples, RTDs and current
loops should always be kept separate from power and control output wiring.
2. Signal input wiring should be twisted pairs/triplets etc. and the conductors should be

3. Care should be taken when wiring to relay or solenoid coils, as large transients are
produced when coils (or any other inductive devices) are switched. This problem can be
eliminated using suitable suppression devices across the coil. Coil transients can also be
transmitted through the air, so the recorder itself should be mounted as far as possible

consideration should be given to the use of a line conditioning/transient suppressing line
power regulator. Process control motors, valves, relays and heaters should not be
connected to the same power lines that are used for instrumentation.
5. The connection of the Paperless Recorder to a proper safety earth ground is essential.
Such a connection not only reduces the possibility of electric shock, but also provides the
required return for the recorder line power filters.
6. All local electrical codes of practice must be followed when installing any instrumentation.

3.3.1.1.1 Sensor wiring - RTD (Pt-100) 3-wire input
Figure 5-Sensor Wiring - RTD (Pt-100) 3-Wire Input
The connection for 3-wire RTD (Pt-100) sensor is shown in figure 5. Normally RTD (Pt-100) sensor
with 3-wires has two similar color wires and other one distinct color. Connect two similar color
wires at ‘-’ and ‘G’ pin.
Connect the remaining dissimilar color wire at ‘+’. Similarly connect for all other channels.
Notes:
1. When wiring RTDs, lead length and diameter must be chosen such that lead length are
equal and that each lead exhibits no more than 10Ω resistance between the Paperless
Recorder and the RTD (Pt-100).
2. For Input connections, high quality, low resistance contacts must be used which are
suitable for dry operations.

Figure 7- Sensor Wiring - 4-20mA / 0-20mA Input
The connection for 4-20mA / 0-20mA input is shown in the figure 8(A). For Paperless Recorder,
the shunt of 50Ω 0.1% is externally supplied. If you want to connect more than one instrument
in series, than recorder should be placed in such a way that not more than 250Ω of load resistance
is added in the loop after recorder as shown in Figure 8(B).
Note: - If 50Ω 0.1% shunt is used than the user should keep the multiplier ≈1.002 for 4-20mA
which varies with the device.
