Function Introduction/Names of Parts
Function Introduction
The SBR-EW100 Recorder (hereafter referred to as the recorder) can be used to assign DC voltage, 1-5V,
thermocouple, RTD, and contact or voltage ON/OFF signal to channels for measurement. The measured
results are recorded with pens or dots on a chart paper that is fed at a constant speed. The pen model
can record up to 4 channels; the dot model can record up to 6 channels.
SBR-EW100 Recorder Recording example (dot model)
Alarms
For each channel, various alarms such as high limit alarm and low limit alarm can be assigned to monitor
the measured values. Alarm output relays can be used to output contact signals when alarms occur (/A1,
/A2, and /A3 options).
Recording
The measured results are recorded with pens or dots on a chart paper (trend recording). The chart speed
can be selected from 5 to 12000 mm/h on the pen model and 1 to 1500 mm/h on the dot model.
In addition to trend recording, various types of information can be printed on the chart paper such as
numeric measured values, alarm occurrence/release, and predefined messages.
Also, the recorder settings can be printed.
Internal Light
A light is provided for easier viewing of the recording area of the chart paper.
Display
Measured values can be displayed numerically or using bar graphs on the large display. Also, alarm
status and chart speed can be displayed.
Communication Functions
Using the Ethernet communication interface (/C7 option) or the RS-422A/485 communication interface
(/C3 option), the measured values on the recorder can be output to a computer or a computer can be
used to control the recorder.
For details on communication functions, see the SBR-EW100 Recorder Communication Interface User’s
Manual (IMSBR08-E( )).
Other Main Functions
The computation function (/M1 option) can be used to perform various computations from four arithmetic
operations to statistical calculations on 8 and 12 computation channels on the pen model and dot model,
respectively. The computed results can be recorded.
The remote control function (/R1 option) can be used to control the recording start/stop and other
operations of the recorder by applying contact signals to the dedicated terminals.

Installing/Wiring the Recorder
Installation Location
Install the recorder indoors in a location that meets the following conditions.
• Instrument Panel and Rack
The recorder is designed for panel or rack mounting.
• Well-Ventilated Location
To prevent overheating, install the recorder in a well-ventilated location.
For the panel cut dimensions when arranging multiple recorders, see the next page. Follow the panel
cut dimensions providing adequate space between instruments when other instruments are arranged
on the panel.
• Minimum Mechanical Vibrations
Choose an installation location with the minimum mechanical vibration.
Installing the recorder in a location with large mechanical vibration not only causes adverse effects on
the mechanism but also may hinder normal recording.
• Horizontal
Install the recorder horizontally (However, the recorder can be inclined up to 30 degrees backwards for
panel mounting).
Note
Condensation may occur if the recorder is moved to another place where both the ambient temperature and
humidity are higher, or if the temperature changes rapidly. In addition, measurement errors will result when
using thermocouples. In this case, let the recorder adjust to the new environment for at least one hour before
using it.
Do not install the recorder in the following places.
• Outdoors
• In Direct Sunlight or Near Heat Sources
Install the recorder in a place with small temperature fluctuations near room temperature (23°C).
Placing the recorder in direct sunlight or near heat appliances can cause adverse effects on the
internal circuitry.
• Where an Excessive Amount of Soot, Steam, Moisture, Dust, or
Corrosive Gases Are Present
Soot, steam, moisture, dust, and corrosive gases will adversely affect the recorder. Avoid such
locations.
• Near Strong Magnetic Field Sources
Do not bring magnets or instruments that produce electromagnetic fields close to the recorder.
Operating the recorder in strong magnetic fields can cause errors in the measurements.
Installation Procedure
The recorder should be mounted on a steel panel of thickness 2 mm to 26 mm.
1. Insert the recorder from the front side of the panel (see the mounting diagram on the next page).
2. Mount the recorder to the panel using the mounting brackets that come with the package.
• Use two brackets to support the top and bottom or the left and right sides of the case
(remove the seal that is covering the holes for the mounting brackets beforehand).
• The proper torque for tightening the mounting screws is 0.8 to 1.2 N-m.
CAUTION
Tightening the screws too much can deform the case or damage the bracket.

Installing/Wiring the Recorder

11IMSBR06-E1
Input Signal Wiring
WARNING
• To prevent electric shock while wiring, ensure that the power supply source is turned OFF.
CAUTION
• If a strong tension is applied to the cable wired to the recorder, the terminals of the recorder
and/or the cable can be damaged. In order to prevent tension from being applied directly on the
terminals, fasten all wiring cables to the rear of the mounting panel.
• Do not apply a voltage exceeding the following value to the input terminals as this may damage
the recorder.
• Maximum input voltage
Voltage range less than or equal to 200 mVDC, TC, RTD, and DI: ±10 VDC
Ranges other than those listed above: ±60 VDC
• Maximum common-mode voltage
±60 VDC (under measurement category II conditions)
• The recorder is an INSTALLATION CATEGORY II product.
Precautions to Be Taken While Wiring
Take the following precautions when wring the input signal cables.
It is recommended that crimp-on lug with insulation sleeves (designed
for 4-mm screws) be used when connecting the input/output signal
wires to the terminals. However, this does not apply clamped
terminals (/H2).
Crimp-on lug with insulation sleeves (for 4 mm screws)
For clamped terminals (/H2), the following wire is recommended.
• Conductive cross-sectional area for single wire: 0.14 mm2to 1.5 mm2, stranded wire: 0.14 mm2to 1.0 mm2
• Length of the stripped section of the wire: Approx. 5 mm
Take measures to prevent noise from entering the measurement
circuit.
• Move the measurement circuit away from the power cable (power circuit) and ground circuit.
• It is desirable that the object being measured does not generate noise. However, if this is
unavoidable, isolate the measurement circuit from the object. Also, ground the object being measured.
• Shielded wires should be used to minimize noise caused by electrostatic induction. Connect the shield
to the ground terminal of the recorder as necessary (make sure you are not grounding at two points).
• To minimize noise caused by electromagnetic induction, twist the measurement circuit wires at short,
equal intervals.
• Make sure to earth ground the protective ground terminal through minimum resistance (less than 100 Ω).
When using internal reference junction compensation on the
thermocouple input, take measures to stabilize the temperature at the
input terminal.
• Always use the terminal cover.
• Do not use thick wires which may cause large heat dissipation (cross sectional area of 0.5 mm2or less
recommended).
• Make sure that the ambient temperature remains reasonably stable. Large temperature fluctuations
can occur if a nearby fan turns ON or OFF.
Connecting the input wires in parallel with other devices can cause
signal degradation, affecting all connected devices.
If you need to make a parallel connection, then
• Turn the burnout detection function OFF.
• Ground the instruments to the same point.
• Do not turn ON or OFF another instrument during operation. This can have adverse effects on the
other instruments.
• RTDs cannot be wired in parallel.
Installing/Wiring the Recorder

12 IMSBR06-E1
Wiring Procedure
A terminal cover is screwed in place on the
measuring input terminal block on the rear panel.
A label indicating the terminal arrangement is
affixed to the cover.
1. Turn OFF the recorder and remove the
terminal cover.
2. Connect the signal wires to the terminals.
Note
Input signal wires of diameter less than or equal to 0.3 mm may not be secured firmly for clamped terminals (/H2).
Fold over the conducting section of the wire, for example, to make sure that the wire is securely connected to the
clamped terminal.
3. Replace the terminal cover and fasten it with screws.
The proper torque for tightening the screws is 0.6 N-m.

Optional Terminal Wiring
WARNING
• To prevent electric shock while wiring, ensure that the power supply source is turned OFF.
• If a voltage of more than 30 VAC or 60 VDC is to be applied to the output terminals, use ring-
tongue crimp-on lugs with insulation sleeves on all terminals to prevent the wires from slipping
out when the screws become loose. Furthermore, use double-insulated wires (dielectric
strength of 2300 VAC or more) for the signal wires on which a voltage of more than 30 VAC or
60 VDC is to be applied. For all other wires, use basic insulated wires (dielectric strength of
1390 VAC). To prevent electric shock, attach the terminal cover after wiring and make sure not
to touch the terminals.
CAUTION
• To prevent fire, use signal wires having a temperature rating of 70°C or more.
• If a strong tension is applied to the cable wired to the recorder, the terminals of the recorder
and/or the cable can be damaged. In order to prevent tension from being applied directly on the
terminals, fasten all wiring cables to the rear of the mounting panel.
Wiring Procedure
As shown in the figure below, the optional terminal
block is located on the rear panel. The optional
terminal block is provided on the recorder when an
option that requires input/output is installed such as
the alarm output relay (/A1, /A2, or /A3 option),
FAIL/chart end output (/F1 option), and remote
control function (/R1 option). A terminal cover is
screwed in place on the measuring input terminal
block. A label indicating the terminal arrangement
is affixed to the terminal block.
1. Turn OFF the recorder and remove the terminal cover.
2. Connect the input signal wires to the terminals.
3. Replace the terminal cover and fasten it with screws.
The proper torque for tightening the screws is 0.6 N-m.
Note
To reduce noise, use a shielded cable for the wiring of the remote control input terminals. Connect the shield
to the ground terminal of the recorder.

Power Supply Wiring
WARNING
• To prevent electric shock when wiring, ensure the main power supply is turned OFF.
• To prevent the possibility of fire, use 600 V PVC insulated wire (JISC3307) or an equivalent wire
for power wiring.
• Make sure to earth ground the protective earth terminal through a grounding resistance less
than 100 Ωbefore turning ON the power.
• Use crimp-on lugs (designed for 4 mm screws) for power and ground wiring termination.
• To prevent electric shock, make sure to close the transparent cover for the power supply wires.
• Make sure to provide a power switch (double-pole type) on the power supply line in order to
separate the recorder from the main power supply. Put an indication on this switch as the
breaker on the power supply line for the recorder and indications of ON and OFF.
Switch specifications
Rated power current: 1 A or more
Rated rush current: 60 A or more
Use a switch complied with IEC 60947-1, 3.
• Connect a fuse between 2 A and 15 A in the power supply line. Use a fuse approved by CSA
(for the use in North America) or VDE (for the use in Europe).
• Do not add a switch or fuse to the ground line.
Use a power supply that meets the following conditions:
Item Power Supply Specifications
Rated supply voltage 100 to 240 VAC
