1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 RECORDER APPLICATIONS
The KD7 screen recorder is applied as a data acquisition station in measuring and control systems.
It finds application to measure, visualize and supervise technical process parameters in various
industrial branches, e.g. pharmacy, food, chemical and papermaking industries.
It can be also used as an autonomous measuring and recording device.
The KD7 screen recorder is adapted to measure voltage, current, temperature, resistance changes
and other quantities converted into a signal or electrical parameter. The source of measuring data
can be also communication interfaces (ETHERNET, RS-485).
All processes suitable for a measuring system can be realized in this recorder: measurement of input
signals and their conversion, visualization and archiving of data, signaling and communication with
the environment.
Converted measuring data are stored in the internal memory and on the CompactFlash card.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 Warning and information signs
One or more of presented symbols can be used in the recorder.
Caution: one must pay attention to the description in the
recorder user’s manual.
Terminal of the protection lead
Earth terminal
Protection of sensitive electrostatic systems (ESD)
2.2 Safety of service
The KD7 recorder fulfils requirements related to safety of electrical measuring instruments for
automation, acc. to EN 61010-1 standard and requirements concerning the resistance against
interference occurring in industrial environment acc. to EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4 standards.
The connection of supply, communication interfaces and measuring signals, and the use of
equipment inconsistent with the description included in the present user’s manual and standards as
above can cause serious weakening of the recorder protection against interference.
2.2.1 Remarks concerning the recorder installation
Various sources of interference occurring in practice, interact with the recorder in a continuous
or impulse way from the supply network side (as the result of the action of other devices) and also
overlap on the measured signal or auxiliary circuits of the recorder.
In particular, strong impulse interference is dangerous for the operation of devices since they
can cause sporadic erroneous measurement results or accidental operations of alarms, despite of the
use of suitable filters in the recorder. The level of this interference should be reduced to a value
lower than the resistance threshold of the recorder, first of all through a suitable installation of the
recorder in the object.
In this scope, it is recommended to observe following recommendations:
•Do not supply recorders from networks near devices generating high impulse interference in the
supply network and do not use common grounding circuits with them,
•Use network filters for the group of recorders servicing the same object,
•Use metallic shields in the shape of tubes or braids to lead supplying wires (phase, zero), in
which one can also lead the earth conductor and eventually network wires supplying contacts
of alarm relays of the given recorder,
•Lead individually connections of binary input circuits in shields as above, by means of twisted
wires,

6
•Lead individually connections of communication interface circuits in shields as above and by
means of twisted wires,
•Wires leading measuring signals for each measuring recorder channel should be twisted in pairs,
and for resistance sensors in 3-wire connection, twisted of wires of the same length, cross-
section and resistance, and led in shields as above. Wires leading measuring signals to the same
recorder can be led in the same shield ( if it is possible),
•All shields should be earthed unilaterally near the recorder,
•One must avoid a common earth conductor with other devices,
•Apply the general principle, that wires (group of wires) leading different signals should be led in
the longest possible distance between them and crossings of such groups of wires made at a 90°
angle,
•Set on the supply cable (near the recorder) a ferrite filter ZCAT 2035-0930A (TDK) being in the
recorder accessory set.
2.2.2. Precautions in the scope of ESD protection
Semiconductor elements or packages used in the recorder design and marked with the sign as
above, can become damaged in result of electrostatic discharges (ESD).
In order to prevent this, one must observe following recommendations during service works.
•Disassemble instruments only in the area protected against electrostatic discharges,
•Use conductive materials to dissipate electrostatic charges in the working area,
•Use only antielectrostatic packings to store electronic elements and packages,
•Do not touch elements and packages with hands,
•Do not keep materials susceptible to generate electrostatic charges in the working area.
CAUTION: Repairs and modifications in the recorder equipment
shoul should be carried out by authorized service workshops
or with the manufacturer.
3. RECORDER PREPARATION TO WORK
The recorder with accessories is delivered in packing fulfilling requirements of environment
protection regulations.
The recorder in the packing can be transported and stored in the temperature:
-20 ....+60ºC (-4 ...140ºF).

3) Following documents are recorded on the CDR: user’s manual of the KD7 recorder,
KD CONNECT program for the communication with KD7 through the USB interface, KD
CHECK program to check the digital signature in archive files, USB drivers for the KD7 recorder
and, according to the order version, KD7 SETUP and KD ARCHIVE programs with user’s
manuals to service these programs.
4) Current test links are added to accessories for the KD7 version with programmable measuring
systems.
3.2 Installation in a panel
Put the seal from standard accessories on the housing (see section 3.1.). After mounting the
recorder into the panel, the seal protects the part behind the panel against the influence of risks
appearing from the frontal part of the panel, resulting from the IP65 protection degree.
The recorder is fixed to the panel by means of four screwed mounting brackets from the
recorder accessories (see section 3.1.).
Basic fixing and panel cut-out dimensions are presented above.
3.3. Operating conditions of the recorder
The recorder can work at ambient temperature: 0...+50ºC (32 ...122ºF) and max.75% of relative
air humidity without condensation.

4. RECORDER CONSTRUCTION
4.1. LCD screen with touch screen
For the visualization of measuring data and the configuration of recorder parameters, an
LCD TFT 5,7” graphical screen integrated with the touch screen is applied.
All elements of the user’s interface (windows, icons, buttons) have dimensions adapted to be
serviced by fingers – They do not require special tools.
After installing the recorder into the panel, remove the foil protecting the external flexible
layer of the touch screen from the LCD screen.
Considering the sensibility of the touch screen to dirt and external damages of its surface
and the substrate, one must observe following recommendations:

- protect against surges, they can damage the external surface or the glass substrate of the touch
screen,
- protect against fluids, grease and aggressive chemical agents,
- touch only with fingers, do not use hard and sharp objects which can damage the flexible
surface of the touch screen,
- clean softly with a cotton cloth impregnated with a detergent destined to clean LCD monitors
(not containing alcohol, petrol or ammonia ) or by using water with soap,
- observe the given temperature range of the recorder operation.
Since there is the possibility of a memory effect symptom occurrence on screens of LCD type (after
a prolonged display of a constant figure), the blanking of the screen after a 15-minute continuous
work is set in the recorder as a standard, without touching the screen.
The renewed activation of the screen follows after touching it.
The blanking time can be changed or this function can be turned off ( see section 7.1)
4.2. CompactFlash memory card, USB interface, LED diode
A CompactFlash card with capacity up to 4 GB is foreseen for the measuring data storage in the
KD7 recorder.
It is recommended to apply CF cards produced by SanDisk company, in the recorder.
Current measuring data, archive data and recorder configuration files are stored on the CF card
