1. APPLICATIONS
DLM-080 Digital Recorder is a multifunctional microprocessor device used for the
purposes of recording, control and visualisation of manufacturing processes in many
branches of industry. In particular it is designed to co-operate with master computer
(software for PC computers delivered together with the recorder), which also allows
performing analysis of registered data in graphic form. Moreover, it is possible to make
printouts in for documentation purposes.
2. THE DLM-080 RECORDER CONSOLE
All operations of the DLM-080 Recorder are initiated from its console (Fig.1).

operations according to preset configuration.
In order to ensure that the Recorder work complies with user’s guidelines, the following
configuration operations must be carried out :
• set (check) the real-time clock readout (the SET CLOCK mode)
• set (check) data setting in the SETUP memory (the SETUP mode)
• scale (check) readouts on measurement channels (the SERVICE [SERWIS] mode)
• set (check) displaying of dimension of measured physical values (the DIMENSION
[WYMIAR] mode)
3.1 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS (RECORDER CONFIGURATION)
In order to modify / initiate settings of the Recorder configuration parameters, whole
range of special functions has been introduced. They permit to carry out the above-
mentioned operations.

In case if correct value is entered, the DLM-080 will switch to the SET-CLOCK mode
(diodes of real-time clock display blinks and the diode built-in in the key is on).
3.2.1 Setting hours and minutes (the SET-CLOCK mode)
(the diode built-in in the key is off)
• by pressing the keys, set correct hour and minute in the
following format: HOUR:MINUTE.
3.2.2 Setting month and day (the SET-CLOCK mode)
- press the key (a diode built-in in the key will generate
continuous lighting)
• by pressing the keys, set correct month and day in the following
format: MONTH:DAY.
3.2.3 Setting year
• press the key twice – the diode built-in in the key will generate
pulsating light.
• by pressing the keys, set year in the following format: --
:YEAR.

3.3 MODIFICATION OF PARAMETERS IN THE SETUP MEMORY (THE
SETUP MODE)
The SETUP mode permits to edit the DLM-080 configuration parameters (as described in
Table 1).
The device will switch to the SET-UP mode after selecting the F00 special function. The
following will be displayed after selecting this function:
• word CODE in time display field
• words SET UP in channel 1 and 2 display field
• number 000 in channel 3 display field, and number 000 in channel 4 field
At this moment, by pressing the keys in channel 3 and 4 display field,
enter access code to the SETUP memory (standard code is: 888 888).
Accept set values by pressing the key.
In case if correct value is entered, the DLM-080 switches to the SETUP mode.
Word SETUP will be displayed, and:
• SETUP function number in channel 3 display field,
• SETUP value number in channel 4 display field.
Then take these steps:
• in order to modify function number press the
keys in channel 3 display field,
• in order to modify function value press the
keys in channel 3 display field.
3.3.1 SET UP memory reset and setting of initial parameters
In order to initialise the DLM-080 and reset the recording memory, take the following
steps (while remaining in the SETUP mode):
• press the key and hold it until the 00:00 symbol is shown on the real-
time display; execution of this operation results in resetting of all configuration values, the
recording memory and preset standard values of the SETUP function.

3.3.2 Exiting the SETUP mode
• press the key (the SET EEP message will be displayed, and at the
same time configuration parameters will be stored in memory).
3.4 The MEASURE Mode
This mode permits to preset for individual channels the measure of displayed / controlled
physical quantity, e.g. (°C, bar, %, etc.), which will be displayed in the measure display
field. In order to switch to the MEASURE [WYMIAR] mode, select the F01 special
function:
• then (as appropriate for a selected channel) set the measure of the measured /
controlled quantity by pressing the key.

• press the key (the SET EEP message will be displayed, and at the
same time configuration parameters will be stored in memory).
3.5 MEASUREMENT CHANNEL SCALING, THE -SERVICE- MODE
ATTENTION: Prior to commencement of measurement channel tuning, check
whether location of switches defining type of input is in compliance with guidelines...!
In order to scale (set zero and amplify) indications in individual measurement channels it
is necessary to switch to the SERVICE mode by selecting the F02 special function.
The following information will be displayed after selecting this function :
• readout from the AC converter in the real-time clock display field

• then, in case if channel is defined as 0.20 mA or 4.20 mA input, channel no. 4
display field will show value indicated for 0 mA (4 mA) current, and channel no. 6 display
field will show value indicated for 20 mA current.
3.5.1 Change of active measurement channel
• in order to change currently active measurement channel press
the keys in channel 1 display field.
3.5.2 Measurement channel tuning procedure for the PT-100 input.
ATTENTION: Check position of measurement input type switch on the back panel
of the Recorder.
1- select channel to tune by pressing the keys in channel 1
display field.
2- preset model signal value (0°C; Ro=100 Ω) or place sensing element in water
and ice mix, which permits additional correction of sensing element error.
3- carry out correction of zero by pressing the key in channel 1 display
field.
(in order to cancel the correction press the key in channel 2 display field)
completed correction will be indicated by blinking of the diode built-in in the
key in channel 2 display field.
4- preset model signal value in a selected point of the PT-100 sensor characteristic
curve.
Recommended values are:
- R100 = 138.5 Ω- which corresponds to the indication of 100 °C
then, by turning potentiometers (for respective channels
Ch1,Ch2,Ch3,Ch4,Ch5,Ch6,Ch7,Ch8) on the back panel of the Recorder, ensure
that correct read out value is being displayed.
