QX, SX and QXe Recorders - Installation Instruction
Alarm Relay and Digital Input/Output cards
QX Recorder SX Recorder QXe Recorder
This Installation Instruction sheet is intended as a guide for replacing or installing hardware and for setting up
functionality in the recorder. Refer to the User manual for detailed operational requirements.
The QX, SX and QXe recorders are designed for ease of assembly with minimal disturbance to the rest of the unit. If
unsure, please return the unit to your supplier for repair or upgrade.
Removing the case and opening the back of the recorder should only be performed under the following circumstances:
When an item of hardware requires individual replacement.
When an item of hardware is to be retrospectively fitted.
In all other instances it is recommended that the complete unit be returned to an authorised agent or service centre.
For Agency Approved recorders the product needs to be upgraded or repaired by an Authorized Repair facility
WARNING
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES
Disconnect all power to the recorder before removing the case and attempting any maintenance procedures.
SAFETY TESTS
Upon completion of service procedures detailed in this manual two basic safety tests should be performed in order to
ensure continued safe operation of the instrument.
Earth Resistance; 25 VDC applied between case and protective earth, bonding resistance should be < 0.1 Ohm.
Insulation Resistance; 500Vdc applied between the earth terminal, and the live and neutral terminal shorted together,
insulation resistance to be >2.0 MOhm. (Mega Ohm, NOT milli Ohm)
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury
CAUTION
OBSERVE ANTI-STATIC PRECAUTIONS
Refer to BS EN61340-5-1: 2001. Basic specification. Protection of electrostatic sensitive devices.
Full anti-static precautions MUST be observed when in contact with the electronics of your recorder.
SAVE DATA, SETUPS AND LAYOUTS
Removal of PCBs and battery back-up will result in the loss of all non-volatile data.
Ensure all data and set-ups are saved.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in product damage.

Before attempting to repair or upgrade a recorder, it is advisable to clear a sufficient work space so components such as
the front panel can be rested on the work surface without getting scratched or damaged.
If adding a new piece of hardware to your recorder please be aware that if you are running Trend Manager PC software
that the “Hardware Wizard” will require updating to accommodate the hardware changes.
Panel Mounting
The Alarm/Digital IO cards can be removed, replaced or added to the recorder without removing it from its mounting
panel. If you require the recorder to be removed from the panel, loosen the mounting clamp screws, slide the clamp
towards the rear of the recorder and remove the clamps and the recorder.
Removing the Rear Panel
Removal of the rear panel is necessary for replacement or fitting any of the PC cards.
To remove the rear panel of the recorder, loosen and remove the two screws (QX and QXe = M3 x 6, SX = M4 x 8) at
the top corners of the rear panel, taking care to retain both the shake-proof washer and the screw.
Inside the Unit
Refer to Figure 1 for the SX recorder, Figure 2 for the QX recorder and Figure 3 for the QXe recorder and their
respective tables for the correct slot position for the Alarm Relay and Digital IO cards.

Alarm Relay and Digital I/O Cards
There are two main types of alarm cards, the Alarm Relay card and the Digital I/O card.
The Alarm/Relay card is available with 4 or 8 channels of relay output, the 8 channel having two channels of digital input
as standard (channel 7 & 8).
The Digital I/O cards are available with 8 or 16 channels; all channels may be used as digital inputs or relay outputs.
(Only the 8 channel version is available on QXe)
All alarm cards take up slot position in slot G in the QX and QXe recorders and slot positions G, H and I in the SX
recorder.

Remove Alarm/Digital IO card
If the alarm card is being replaced, locate and remove the M3 x 8 earth screw from the bottom position of the unit,
(QX and QXe = Slot G, SX = Slot G, H and I) see Figure 4,5 & 6.
Grip the connector on the Alarm/Digital IO card and gently pull to release the card from its connection to the mother
board (expansion board on the QXe) at the front of the unit. Remove the card and retain both the screw and the shake-
proof washer.

Inserting an Alarm/Digital IO card
NOTE: To add an Alarm/Digital I/O board to the QXe recorder, the recorder must already have an Expansion board
fitted. If the Expansion board is fitted continue as described below, if an Expansion Board has to be fitted refer to
Instruction sheet 43-TV-33-81 “QXe Expansion Board”. QX and SX recorders will always have a Mother Board already
fitted.

To replace or add an Alarm/Digital IO card, insert the new card in the correct slot position using the board guides in the
case. Slide the card carefully back into the case, until the fixing bracket on the left side of the card is in line with the
single fixing hole on the side of the case. Ensure the card is pushed fully home.
Replace/fit the M3 x 8 earth screws and shake-proof washers, on the side of the case, to secure the card.
Re-assembling the Unit
Remove or add any relevant plastic blanking plates (safety cover)
on the rear panel, by pushing out the push rivets from behind.
To replace the rear panel, angle the rear panel as shown to line
up two location points with the floor of the recorder’s case.
Reposition the shake-proof washers and replace and tighten two
screws (QX and WXe = M3 x 6, SX = M4 x 8) at the top corners
of the rear panel.
If the recorder has been removed from the panel, refit the
mounting clamps to the case in two opposite positions (Nema 4
positions) and secure into the panel.
QX and QXe torque setting should be 0.5 - 0.75Nm/4.4 - 6.6lbf-in
SX torque setting should be 0.5 - 0.70Nm/4.4 - 6.2lbf-in
