Applications and brief description
The LINAX 4000M is a microprocessor-controlled continuous-line
recorder. It comes in two different versions:
– 1 to 4 line channels,
– 1 to 3 line channels and a printer channel.
The printer channel permits the recording of a measured value
and generates text printouts. The measuring channels are electri-
cally isolated from each other and are floating. The recorder is
connected to transducers and to sensors such as thermocouples
or resistance thermometers. Standard temperature sensor curves
are stored in the firmware of the recorder and linearized with high
accuracy.
In the version "Standard measuring range", the recorder is
matched to the measuring task by means of keys of the display
and control panel or via the RS-485 interface. The version "Uni-
versal measuring range" requires additional hardware matching
by means of jumpers.

Important information foryour safety!
It must absolutely be read and followed!
A condition of correct and safe operation of the continuous-
line recorder LINAX 400M is that it is transported and stored
in a suitable manner, competently installed and started as
well as correctly operated and carefully serviced.
Only those persons must work on the recorder who are famil-
iar with installation, startup, operation and servicing of com-
parable equipment and who have the qualification required
for their work.
The contents of these operating instructions and the safety
notes affixed to the unit are to be observed.
The regulations, standards and directives mentioned in these
operating instructions are for the Federal Republic of Ger-
many. When using the recorder in other countries, relevant
national rules must be followed.
The recorder is constructed and tested according to
DIN EN 61 010-1 "Safety requirements for electronic measur-
ing instruments", it left the factory in safe and proper condi-
tion. To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation,
the safety notes in these operating instructions with the
heading "Caution" must be followed. Otherwise, persons
could be endangered and the unit itself as well as other
equipment and facilities could be damaged.
If the information contained in these operating instructions
should not be sufficient in certain cases, the GOSSEN-
METRAWATT Service will be glad to provide further informa-
tion.

1.7 Switching the recorder on
Caution
Prior to switching the power supply on, verifythat the operating voltage
of the recorder (see nameplate) and the supply voltage agree.
A power line connection switch of sufficient switching capacity,
which permits all-pole disconnection of the recorder from the
power line, must be provided within reach of the mounting site. It
must not annul the protective effect of the protective conductor.
Date and time are buffered via a capacitor (Super Cap). After
longer periods without auxiliary voltage (e.g. when in stock), date
and time are reset to a default value. At the next start, a note
appears on the display (error message E150X). Date and time
must then be set newly (see parameterizing instructions, ordering
number 14083).
1.8 Positioning the recording chart
(see figure 10)
1. Press the lower grip boards of the recording table to the rear.
The recording chart is transported with increased speed in the
direction of flow.
2. Release the grip boards when the desired time line is reached.

2.2 Removing the rec. chart from the take-up roll
(see figure 12)
2.3 Changing the chart speed
When the recorder is fitted with the option "Limit monitor and
binary inputs", two chart speeds are externally selectable. The
desired values for speed 1 and speed 2 are selected in parame-
terization mode (see parameterizing instructions 14083).
Speed 1 is active after the recorder is switched on.
Speed 2 becomes active by applying a voltage of 24 V DC
between terminals 901 (–) and 922 (+).
2.4 Standby function
When the recorder is fitted with the option "Limit monitor and
binary inputs", the recorder can be switched to standby. This
requires a voltage of 24 V DC to be applied between terminals
901 (–) and 912 (+).
In standby mode, the chart speed is switched off and is 1 mm/h
(depending on the parameterization). The measuring systems are
at the beginning of the scale. Processing of measured data and
limit monitoring are active. When a limit is violated, or when the
applied voltage is disconnected, the standby mode is inactivated.
The recorder starts to record.

The recording table may be left in the unit when removing the
chart.

Immunity to interference: Test according to IEC 801
The NAMUR industry standard EMC is met (Interface cables
shielded).
Permissible interference voltages
Default parameter setting
If individual parameter setting is not specified when ordering a
recorder, the LINAX 4000M is delivered with the following default
parameter setting:
All measuring channels with 0 ... 20 mA measuring range
Chart speed 1: 20 mm/h
Chart speed 2: 120 mm/h
Chart speed 3: Off
Limits are set to end positions (0 and 20 mA).
Attenuation of measured value, zoom, printer and limit func-
tions are switched off.
No password entered.
This default parameter setting can be re-initialized independent
of the actually set parameters.

6Packing
The fiber pen inserts must be removed before the recorder is
transported.
If the original packaging material is no longer available, wrap the
recorder in air-cushion foil or corrugated paper and pack it in a
sufficiently large crate which is lined with shock-absorbing mate-
rial (foam rubber or smilar material). The thickness of the padding
must be matched to the weight of the device and the type of
packaging. The crate must be marked "Fragile".
When shipped overseas, air-tight welding of the recorder into a
0.2 mm thick polyethylene foil which contains a drying agent is
additionally required. The quantity of the drying agent is to be
chosen in line with the packaging volume and the expected dura-
tion of the transport (at least 3 months). The crate must addition-
ally be lined with a layer of double bituminous paper.
