Siebe Climate Controls EWLP 120 User manual

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EWLP 120 data recorder is an elec-
tronic device designed to measure temper-
ature, humidity or pressure from two
different locations.
Due to the use of a microprocessor it can
store up to 1600 reading points, with user
programmable storage intervals. Stored
data can be printed with messages in sev-
eral languages.
The instrument can be connected to PTC
or Pt100 probes; alternatively the current
input port can be used for pressure or hu-
midity. It is available in a 161x192 mm ABS
plastic case, 94 mm deep.
COMMANDS ON FRONT PANEL
(response to key pressure is delayed by
approximately 0.5 seconds).
RECORDING 1
The pressure of this key starts recording
related to sensor n. 1; the related led turns
on and the display indicates the value read
by probe 1.
A further key pressure stops recording re-
lated to sensor 1; the related led turns off
and the display indicates the value read by
the probe of sensor 2, when enabled, oth-
erwise the OFF message is displayed.
RECORDING 2
The pressure of this key starts recording
related to sensor n. 2; the related led turns
on and the display indicates the value read
by probe 2.
A further key pressure stops recording re-
lated to sensor 2; the related led turns off.
When the two probes are set to STAND BY
(disabled data recording) the display indi-
cates the OFF message.
When both probes are enabled (enabled
data recording) the led on indicates the
zone whose value is displayed, the blinking
reminds that the related zone is enabled for
recording.
CLEAR
The key pressure after print clears from
memory the recordings related to the re-
port printed and enables the recording
again.
PRG
When held pressed for 3 seconds in
STAND BY (OFF message displayed) with
no stored data it allows to enter or exit pa-
rameters programming mode. In case
stored data are present, the display shows
the ErPr alarm code.
MUTE
The key pressure in data recording allows
to silence the alarm by disabling the relat-
ed relay; the code on the display will con-
tinue to show the alarm presence.
▲(UP)
When pressed in programming mode it al-
lows to skip to the following parameter or
increase its value. In recording mode it se-
lects to display the value related either to
sensor 1 or sensor 2.
▼(DOWN)
When pressed in programming mode it al-
lows to skip to the following parameter or
increase its value. In temperature recording
mode it selects to display the current time.
LABEL/VALUE
When pressed in parameters programming
mode it allows to switch from the parame-
ter label display to its value, and vice-ver-
sa.
PRINT
The key pressure starts the printing of
recorded data; while printing the display
shows letter P (print), recording is sus-
pended and all keys are disabled.
HOW IT IS MADE
WHAT IT IS
EWLP 120 is a data recorder capa-
ble to measure temperature, humid-
ity or pressure from two different

paper forward.
PARAMETERS PROGRAMMING
Hold the “PRG” key pressed for 3 seconds
in STAND BY mode (OFF message dis-
played) and no data stored; the display
shows the first parameter (Po1). The pres-
sure of the “UP” (or “DOWN”) key while in
programming mode allows to skip to the
following (previous) parameter or increase
(decrease) its value. The pressure of key
“Label/Value” while in parameters pro-
gramming mode allows to switch from pa-
rameters label display to value display and
vice-versa. Hold button “PRG” pressed for
3 seconds to exit programming mode.
WARNING: new values are only stored
when programming mode is exited. Check

ALARM CODES
EE01: memory error - possible loss of all
set data, alarm relay triggered and data
recording stopped. After this alarm print
the recorded data - that could be wrong -
and at the end of the report the message
“LOST RECORDS - CHECK PARAME-
TERS” will be printed.
Device check procedure: enter program-
ming mode and check the set parameters;
if they correspond to those previously set,
change one parameter; in case the alarm is
still present when exiting programming
mode, contact an authorised servicing
centre otherwise re-enter programming
mode and correct previously changed
data.
FULL: full memory. The alarm relay is trig-
gered. The recorded data need to be print-
ed. 100 more recordings are available in
the device since the alarm appears. When
the memory is full recording continue over-
writing the first recorded data. At the end
of print the message “PARTIAL RECORD-
INGS DUE TO FULL MEMORY” will be
printed.
EndP: paper missing: slightly open the
side pads, extract the paper support. To in-
sert a new paper roll fit the support be-
tween the two pads with a light pressure.
Then insert the paper into the upper slot
and load it using the FEED button.
If this alarm occurred while printing, press
the PRINT key to restart the report, that will
begin from day on which it was interrupted.
ALP1: alarm related to probe n. 1 and
alarm relay triggering. On the report the
alarm occurrence will be indicated by the
following symbols:
Z (zone 1 or 2), SET, * to indicate the alarm,
NEG (negative) and POS (positive).
When the measured temperature exceeds
the range defined through parameters Po9
and Po10 for more than the time set
through parameter Po14, the alarm code is
displayed. Such code is automatically re-
called as the temperature returns within the
range.
ALP2: alarm related to probe n. 2 and
alarm relay triggering. On the report the
alarm occurrence will be indicated by the
following symbols:
Z (zone 1 or 2), SET, * to indicate the alarm,
NEG (negative) and POS (positive).
When the measured temperature exceeds
the range defined through parameters
Po11 and Po12 for more than the time set
through parameter Po14, the alarm code is
displayed. Such code is automatically re-
called as the temperature returns within the
range.
ErP1: probe n. 1 faulty and alarm relay trig-
gering; replace the faulty probe; instead of
the value message “--.-” will be printed,
while the display will show message ErP1
and “--.-” alternatively.
ErP2: probe n. 2 faulty and alarm relay trig-
gering; replace the faulty probe; instead of
the value message “--.-” will be printed,
while the display will show message ErP2
and “--.-” alternatively.
ErCL: clock module faulty, alarm relay trig-
gering, the instrument is automatically set
to OFF and recordings interrupted; the dis-
play shows alarm information ErCL and
OFF alternatively; if the ▼key is pressed to
display the current time the display indi-
cates “- -”. After this alarm print the record-
ed data; at the end of the report the
message “CHECK PARAMETERS FOR
CLOCK ERROR” will be printed. Device
check procedure: enter programming
mode and check the parameters set by
Po1 to Po6; if they correspond to those
previously set, change one parameter; in
case the alarm is still present when exiting
programming mode, contact an authorised
servicing centre otherwise re-enter pro-
gramming mode and correct previously
changed data.
Erdr: door open for a time exceeding pa-
rameter Po14; alarm relay triggering. The
alarm stops automatically as the door is
closed.
ErPr: alarm code informing that no new
value can be set for parameters as data are
already stored in memory. The following
process shall be performed to change pa-
rameters: put the instrument in place and

3) When connecting the open door input
remove the jumper and connect wires
to terminals n. 8-9.
4) Connect the alarm relay output to termi-
nals n. 3-4-5, maximum current 8(2)A
250V AC.
5) In case the “external backup battery kit”
was purchased connect to terminals n.
6-7 paying attention to the wire polarity.
In case of power failure the device will
turn display and leds off and disable the
printer to continue recording while limit-
ing power consumption.
6) Connect the power supply cable to ter-
minals 1/2, checking the cable plug is
accessible as the instrument is not pro-
vided with an ON-OFF power switch
(but do not insert the power supply
plug).
7) Close the terminal block cover using
screws “A”.
8) First connect the instrument power plug
then, if purchased, the Backup Battery
Key plug and proceed to the parame-
ters programming.
9) When the instrument is started the dis-
play shows the three central dashes for
about 1 second.
NOTE: probes, transducer and micro gate
cables shall be placed in other raceways
than power cables.
HINTS
1) Once the instrument has been config-
ured the operations to be performed
are:
a) enable or disable zone recordings
through button RECORDING 1 and 2.
Regardless the selected reading range
the zone disable or enable time is print-
ed on the report; when one of the two
zones is set to OFF the print reports
OFF;
b) with both zones in STAND BY (disabled)
the display shows OFF, with both zones
in ON, enabled recording, the led on in-
dicates the zone whose temperature is
displayed while the blinking led indi-
cates the zone is enabled;
c) to get a printed report of recorded data
and continue recordings:
- press the PRINT button;
- the data print begins, the display shows
message P; recordings, open door in-
put and buttons are disabled; at the end
of print the display shows messages
OFF and “Prnt” (print) alternatively. In
this condition prints can be repeated
through the PRINT button, in case the
previously printed report was not read-
able;
- press key CLEAR to clear memories re-
lated to the last report and restart
recordings;
- at the end of the report the message
“RECORDING STOP” is printed;
d) to get a printed report of recorded data
switch the instrument OFF:
- press buttons RECORDING 1 and 2 -
the display shows OFF;
- press button PRINT;
- the data print begins, the display shows
message P; recordings, open door in-
put and buttons are disabled; at the end
of print the display shows messages
OFF and “Prnt” (print) alternatively. In
this condition prints can be repeated
through the PRINT button, in case the
previously printed report was not read-
able;
- press key CLEAR to clear memories re-
lated to the last report;
- at the end of the report the message
“RECORDING STOP BY OPERATOR”
is printed;
e) print example:
at the beginning of every print the fol-
lowing data will appear: reference code
of the temperature recorder (EWCode
N:), code number assigned to the in-
strument, set values, recording interval,
date of recording start and date of print
request;
- in case of power failure during recording
the message “RECORDING STOP DUE
TO POWER OFF” is printed so that the
power failure time can be calculated by
comparing the time of the last recording
before power failure and the time of the
first recording after power restore;
- in case of no alarm the message
“RECORDING STOP BY OPERATOR”
is printed at the end of the report, in

case of alarms the alarm cause is print-
ed and the “BY OPERATOR” message
is not reported.
2) The recorded cover shall be open dur-
ing print. Check the paper does not
touch the floor during print, as wet can
damage the paper.
3) In case the alarm output is not connect-
ed it is advisable to daily check the de-
vice operation to ensure no alarm codes
are present.
4) The time interval between two print re-
quests is determined by the set reading
interval (parameter Po8). The instru-
ment memory can store about 1600
temperature recordings; by multiplying
this figure by the set time the time with-
in which the next print shall be per-
formed can be calculated.
Example of calculation with a recording
interval set to 30 minutes: in 24 hours
with 30 minutes reading, 48 recordings
are performed, 1600: 48 = 33,3 record-
ing days. To prevent the FULL condition
(almost full memory) the print interval
shall be lower than 10% the memory
capacity.
5) The printed reports shall be stored far
from heat sources, no plastic folders
and with no copying paper.
6) For good print use non photo sensitive
thermal paper supplied by ELIWELL or
one of the following paper types (width
57 mm):
- Jojo paper “TP50KS-A” or “TF50KS-
E2”;
- Honshu paper “FH65BX-14N” or
“FH65BU-2”;
- Mitsubishi paper “F-200 U7N5” or “F
200 U9W3”;
- Hokuetsu paper “MFHB-31”.
