Safety
The product range of instruments is compliant with the requirements of BS EN
61010-1:1993 “Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement,
Control and Laboratory Use”. If the equipment is used in a manner NOT specified,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Symbols
One or more of the following symbols may appear on the recorder labelling:
Static Electricity
All circuit boards and electronic modules associated with this recorder contain
components which are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge.
Should it be necessary to handle such components, appropriate precautions in
accordance with BS CECC 00015 “Basic specification: protection of electrostatic
sensitive devices” should be observed.
Installation Category
• Installation category - Installation category II, Pollution degree 2
For voltage, frequency and power see “Specifications” on page 6.
Fuses
There is one fuse situated on the power supply that can not be replaced by the
operator.
Symbol Meaning
Caution - refer to manual for instructions
Caution - risk of electric shock
Direct Current
Protective conductor terminal
Earth terminal

243-TV-25-20 GLO Issue 4 01/02 UK
A5E00117351-04
Cables
To fully comply with the requirements of the CE Mark, all cables connected to the rear
of the unit should use screened cable terminated at both ends. Also a low impedance
earth cable (<1 mΩ) should be connected to the earthing stud on the rear of the recorder.
WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do’s and Don’ts
1. Before any other connections are made to the recorder, the protective earth terminal
should be connected to a protective conductor.
2.
In order to comply with the requirements of safety standard EN61010, the recorder
should have one of the following as a disconnecting device, located within easy reach of
the operator, and be clearly labelled as the disconnecting safety device:
• A switch or circuit breaker which complies with the requirements of IEC947-1 and
IEC947-3.
• A separable coupler which can be disconnected without the use of a tool.
• A separable plug, without a locking device, to mate with a socket outlet in
the building.
3. Whenever it is likely that protection has been impaired, the recorder should be made
inoperative and secured against operation. The manufacturer's service centre should be
contacted.
4. Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened recorder in a powered condition
is hazardous and should never be attempted.
5. Where conductive pollution such as condensation or conductive dust is present, ade-
quate air conditioning, filtering and/or sealing must be installed.
6. This recorder contains a battery which must be treated and disposed of with care. Bat-
teries must not be short circuited. Batteries should be disposed of in accordance with
local regulations, they must not be disposed of with normal refuse. See “Appendix B -
Battery Safety Data Sheet” on page 85.
IMPROPER INTERRUPTION OF CONNECTIONS
Any interruption of the protective conductor outside the recorder, or disconnection of
the protective earth terminal is likely to make the recorder dangerous under some
fault conditions. Intentional interruption of the protective conductor is dangerous.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER

43-TV-25-20 GLO Issue 4 01/02 UK 3
A5E00117351-04
8. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be inadequate.
9. In the case of portable equipment, the protective earth terminal must remain connected
(even if the recorder is isolated from the mains supply) if any of the measuring, commu-
nications, or relay terminals are connected to hazardous voltages.
10. For transportation considerations, see “Instrument Care” on page 79
Hazardous Voltage
Hazardous Voltages are defined by EN61010-1 as follows:
Maintenance and Unit Repair
See “Instrument Care” on page 79.
IMPROPER SIGNAL AND SUPPLY WIRING
Signal and supply wiring should be kept separate. Where this is impractical, shielded
cables should be used for the signal wiring. Where signal wiring is carrying, or could
carry under fault conditions, hazardous voltage (defined as >30 V rms and 42.4 V
peak, or >60 Vd.c.), double insulation must be used for all signal wiring.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
7.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE LEVELS
Voltage levels above 30V rms and 42.4V peak or 60V dc are deemed to be
"Hazardous Live".
Refer to “Appendix B - Battery Safety Data Sheet” on page 85 for further information
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE
In the event of a malfunction with the recorder contact your nearest Service Department
(or authorised agent) to arrange for the return of the unit for repair.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in property damage

Chapter 1: Introduction
SIREC DS
The SIREC DS paperless chart recorder, is the latest development of the solid-state
replacement for traditional paper chart recorders.
The SIREC DS focuses on
• Ease 100 mm key recorderof use
• Low cost
• Reliability
• Strong visual design
Several options are available to meet a wide range of requirements within the phar-
maceutical, water, process, gas and petrochemical industries, as well as power and
environmental monitoring.
The SIREC DS uses a 5” passive colour STN QVGA display, with brightness and
contrast adjustments. The displays shows combinations of horizontal and vertical
chart trends, real time bars and digital panel readouts - each input channel can
also have a number of alarms assigned to them, as an option.
The SIREC DS is available with up to 6 channels of Universal analogue inputs and
with up to 32 alarms in any combination of any pen. Full Ethernet communications
for direct connection of the recorder to a LAN or the Internet is available as stand-
ard.
SIREC DS can be fully programmed and re-configured locally via the integral key-
pad, or remotely from a PC. The configuration may be transferred from the PC to
the recorder on a 3.5" 1.44 Mbyte floppy disk and stored in the internal flash mem-
ory.
