recharge the backup battery. This procedure is neces-
sary when using the appliance for the first time or after
it has been unplugged for a long time from the AC out-
let. Insufficient charging of the battery may cause era-
sure of settings if the AC power supply should fail.
•We recommend that you note down your settings and
retain them. Power or battery failure may erase settings
you entered.
•Do not expose the appliance to water or moisture, nor
try to operate it in wet areas.

to failure or trouble of machine. Any kind of consequent
damage or loss arising from such problem is not sub-
ject of warranty.

■Serial Port Connections
●RS232C Connection
A 9-pin connector is provided with the recorder to communicate with the PC based on the RS232C.
●PS•Data Connection
Note the following when connecting the recorder with the PS•Data devices.
1. Place the recorder in the middle of the chain when the System Controller and other devices are connected.
2. Termination must be made at both ends of the chain.
Refer to the manual included with each device for termination.
See page 20, ■DATA Port Termination for the recorder.
3. Protocol selection must be set to PS•DATA in the menu setup.
4. Use the optional RS-485 cable for connection.
Connection examples are shown.
