3.4 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION OF RECORDER
G-Tek recorders are dispatched in a recyclable, environment friendly package specially designed to
give adequate protection during transit. If the outer box shows sign of damage, it should be opened
immediately, and the recorder be examined. If there is evidence of damage, the instrument should
not be operated, and the local representative contacted for instructions. Ensure that all accessories
and documentation is removed from the box. Open the door of the recorder by rotating the knob
(figure A). Open the chart plate by opening the captive Screw (figure B) and inspect the recorder for
an immediate use, re-pack the recorder in its original packing. If the recorder is for immediate use,
you can start installing it now as per following instructions. Please preserve the original packing along
with all internal packing for future transport requirements.

Installation
4.1 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
4.1.1 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. Use the protective
ground stud at the back of recorder; (NOT the terminal module ground connection) to ground the
flexible metal conduit.
•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).

11
Installation
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 and ESD.
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 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.
7. If wall or pipe-mounting to NEMA 4X (IP65) hose down standard is required, suitable cable
glands must be used to prevent water ingress.

4.1.2 Wiring diagram for recorder
Check for proper Earthing
Proper Earthing is necessary for best performance of the Recorder. Follow the steps mentioned below
to check whether the Earthing given to the recorder 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 75OVAC 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 be 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 recorder both should be at the same
Earthing potential.
Wiring diagram for 6" recorder:
Loosen the captive screws on the chart plate fully. Open the chart plate. It will open more than 160
deg. Ensure that the pen assembly is not damaged. You will find two PCBs in the recorder. One PCB
(power supply) is fitted at the bottom of the box as indicated and another (sensor PCB) is fitted on the
chart plate as shown in Figure 6. Refer to the following drawings to connect mains, battery and sensor
to the recorder. If IP protection is opting for, please ensure that all the cables are passed through the
glands and glands are tightened fully after completing the wiring.

•The connection for Mains supply is shown in figure A. As per the figure the live, neutral &
earth from the mains cord are connected to L, N & E respectively. Ensure that the bared ends
of the mains cord are fully inserted into the mains connector and no loose/poor connection.
Also connect the Earth wire of the cable to the Earthing terminal given on body of the recorder
as shown in figure B.
•The connection of 12V DC battery is shown in figure 7(A), Connect the’+’ and’-' of 12V battery
to the’+’ and ‘-’ terminal of the connector respectively.
•Relay connection provided for connecting alarm indicating devices like buzzer, hooter etc. in
the industry, to indicate temperature variation above or below the set points as shown in
above figure.
Note:
* Use 2.5sq.mm. Wire maximum
* Relay Contact ratings are 230VAC –1Amp. Resistive.
* Use of appropriate snubber Circuit is recommended for
inductive loads.

that each lead exhibits no more than 10ohm resistance between the recorder and the RTD (Pt-100).
3. For Input connections, high quality, low resistance contacts must be used which are suitable for
dry operations.
4.The sensor wire connections mentioned in above table will remain same for all the channels.
5. Provide 50 Ohm 0.1% External Shunt resistance between Pin No 1 & 2 while using 4-20mA/0-
