4.1 Before doing the wiring
To carry out wiring, remove the unit's rear cover (Notes).
(1) For the power cable, use a 600V vinyl-insulated cable (JIS C 3307) or a cable with equal or supe-
rior performance to this.
(2) Use compensating leads for thermocouple inputs.
(3) To avoid the effects of induction noise, keep input signal leads as far away as possible (at least
30cm) from power supply lines and lines carrying heavy current. Also, wherever possible use a
shieled cable and earth one point of the shield.
(4) For wiring the terminals, use a maximum of 2 crimp style terminals.
Notes
(1) To remove the rear cover, put a finger in a cable
through-hole in the cover, gently raise the cover
and then pull outwards.
(2) After wiring up the input terminals, always re-
place the rear cover in its original position so as
to ensure proper compensation of reference con-
tacts for thermocouple inputs.
(3) We recommend the use of insulation-sleeve
solderless terminals (using M4 thread) for con-
necting wires to terminals.
4.2 Connection of wires to terminals
(1) Input terminals
➪Connect signal leads for each channel.
(2) Alarm, external control unit (option)
➪Connect the alarm signal outputs and ex-
ternal control signal inputs (for alarms 1
to 6, external controls 1 to 3).
(3) Alarm unit (option)
➪Connect the alarm signal outputs (for
alarms 7 to 12).
(4) Power supply terminal
➪Connect the power cables to AC/AC ter-
minals. Connect to a noise-free, stabi-
lized power supply.
This is an 100 to 240V AC free power supply.
(5) Ground terminal ➪ Effect type 3, Grounding (not more than 100Ω) of the G terminal.
(6) Transmission terminal (option) ➪ Connect the transmission signals.

About remote control inputs
(1) This performs the functions 'Recording operation start/stop', 'Two-stage changeover of recording
paper speed' and 'Data (instantaneous value) print-out' in response to contact signals from outside
the instrument.
(2) There are separate wiring terminals for the different functions.
(DI1) Record start .................. Recording starts when the contact is closed and
stops when the contact is open.
(DI2) Chart speed change ...... The chart speed is the remote mode speed when
the contact is closed and the normal operation
speed when the contact is open.
(DI3) Data print...................... Print-out starts when the contact is closed and
goes on right to the end even if the contact is
opened partway through the print-out. If you
wish to stop print-out partway through, press the
LIST key on the front panel.
Note 1: As the external control unit is not insulated, use it with interposition of an external relay.
External contact capacity 12V DC/0.05A 1a contact
Note 2: Operations effects by the external control unit and the front panel switches are as in the table
below. (A - in a box of the table indicates that no effect at all is had on the main unit operation.)
Note 3: When using the message print function or alarm latch function, the meaning of control input is
different. Refer to "7.10 List print-out setting" and "9.3 Alarm latch specification".

(3) Caution on connection of input signal through barrier
Thermocouple input and resistance bulb input
Perform "Calibration of measured value" with the input connected to the barrier recorder because
the barrier internal resistance is added and causes an error in the measured value.
For the calibration method, refer to Item 9.4.

5.1 Loading chart paper
Step 1 Riffle and loosen the recording paper so as to
prevent overlapping feed.
Step 2 Open the front flap, push the paper hold-down
roller to the right and detach it.
To replace chart paper while recording is in
progress, carry out the above after pressing
the RECORD key to stop recording.
Step 3 Raise the lever that is on the right.
This releases the lock, the paper feeder moves
downward and paper holder can be seen.

Step 4 With round holes (small holes) in the recording
paper located on the left-hand side, set the re-
cording paper so that its leading edge with both
corners cut off comes to this side. Then insert
the leading edge into the container with the print-
ing face located upward.
Butt the recording paper to the left-hand end and
set the recording paper in this position at this
time. Furthermore, be careful so that the recording
paper will not be located aslant. In addition, droop
the first two or three folds of the recording pa-
per into the recording paper receiver.
Step 5 Press the chart paper so that its holes engage with
the sprockets and then, without further adjust-
ment, return the paper holder to its original place.
Make sure that the chart paper does not lift up.
Note: If chart paper lifts up and contacts the re-
cording head, it can prevent ink coming
out. It can also cause improper paper feed.
Step 6 Return the paper hold-down roller to its original
position.
Check to make sure that the chart paper is straight
and that its holes are properly engaged with the
sprockets.
In order to prevent the chart paper slipping to the
left or right, position equipment so that the pa-
per folds into the middle of the paper catcher.
Turn the power supply switch on.

Step 7 Press the FEED key and check that the chart
paper is fed out smoothly. (Feed out about 2 folds
of paper.)
<If the paper is not fed out smoothly, go through
the procedure from Step 2 again.>
Note 1: Selection of chart paper
The chart paper greatly affects the quality of the printed recording and it is also related to prob-
lems such as paper jamming, etc.
Please be sure to use the pure-quality chart paper specified by us.
Chart paper type:SRX00BL-1000R (100 equal divisions, no time lines)
Note 2: Use of the recorder after it has been left unused for a long time
If the recorder is left unused for a long time with chart paper still in the main unit, the paper 'packs
down' and if the recorder is used straightway there can be problems of paper jamming, etc.
If you use the equipment after it has been left unused for a long time, first press the FEED key to
feed out 2 to 3 folds of the paper.
Reference 1: Chart paper length
The chart paper is approximately 20m long. This permits about 31 days continuous print-
out at a paper feed speed of 25mm/h.
Reference 2: Chart paper end mark
The amount of chart paper remaining is indicated by digits (units : cm) on the right-hand
side of the paper. When there is only a small amount left, red letters appear on the right-
hand edge.
If the recording paper runs out completely, a recording paper end indicator displays 'Chart
end' in the display section and recording automatically stops.
