SAFETY NOTES
WARNING Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside the apparatus, or disconnection of the protective earth terminal is likely to make the apparatus dangerous under some fault conditions. Intentional interruption is prohibited.
Note: in order to comply with the requirements of safety standard BS EN61010, the recorder shall have one of the following as a disconnecting device, fitted within easy reach of the operator, and labelled as the disconnecting device. a b. c. 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.
1. Before any other connection is made, the protective earth terminal shall be connected to a protective conductor. The mains (supply voltage) wiring must be terminated within the connector in such a way that, should it slip in the cable clamp, the Earth wire would be the last wire to become disconnected. 2. Before switching on the apparatus, ensure that the connected supply voltage is compatible with the apparatus. Ensure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified type are used for replacement. The use of makeshift fuses and the short-circuiting of fuse holders is prohibited. 3. Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened apparatus under voltage, should be avoided as far as possible and, if inevitable, shall be carried out only by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved. When the apparatus is connected to its supply, terminals may be live, and the opening of covers or internal assemblies (except for those designed for access to be gained by hand) is likely to expose live parts. Two large capacitors between the power transformer and the line voltage select switch on the main circuit board may temporarily retain a hazardous charge after the supply voltage has been disconnected. These capacitors must not be touched for at least 10 seconds after supply voltage disconnection. 4. Where conductive pollution (e.g. condensation, carbon dust) is likely, adequate air conditioning/filtering/sealing etc. must be installed in the recorder enclosure. 5. Signal and supply voltage wiring should be kept separate from one another. Where this is impractical, shielded cables should be used for the signal wiring. 6. This apparatus has been designed and tested in accordance with applicable safety standards, and is supplied in a safe condition. This instruction manual (as supplemented by any associated auxiliary manuals) contains some information and warnings which have to be followed by the user to ensure safe operation and to retain the apparatus in safe condition. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment might be impaired. Whenever it is likely that protection has been impaired, the unit shall be made inoperative, and secured against accidental operation. The manufacturer's nearest service centre should be contacted for advice.
* A full definition of 'Hazardous' voltages appears under 'Hazardous live' in BS EN61010. Briefly, under normal operating conditions, hazardous voltages are defined as being > 30V RMS (42.2V peak) or > 60V dc.

1.1 MANUAL LAYOUT

This manual is divided into a number of sections as follows: Section 1 This describes the manual and its organisation and gives a brief description of the recorder Section 2 Installation. Gives mechanical and electrical installation details. Section 3 Operation. Gives details of the operating displays of the recorder. Section 4 Configuration. Gives details of how to set the recorder up to measure and record the required inputs. Section 5 Calibration. Gives details of how to calibrate input and output channels and how to align the pens with the chart. Section 6 Diagnostics. This section gives diagnostic and fault-finding details. Annex A The technical specification for the recorder.
1.2 RECORDER DESCRIPTION

The recorder is a user-configurable 1, 2, 3 or 4-pen instrument producing traces on a circular chart of 100 mm calibrated width. The operator interface is an integral membrane keyboard and associated vacuum fluorescent display (two lines, each of twenty characters). Configuration is divided into a number of sections, with logical menu-driven steps displayed in plain English. The sectional nature of the menu structure allows the user to select only those items required for a particular application. Modular construction and the use of surface-mount technology produce a compact design which is easy to maintain and to upgrade.
1.3 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

The recorder is despatched in a special pack designed to give adequate protection during transit. Should the outer box show signs of damage, it should be opened immediately and the recorder examined. If there is evidence of damage, the instrument should not be operated and the local representative contacted for instructions. After the recorder has been removed from its packing, the packing should be examined to ensure that all accessories and documentation have been removed. Open the door of the recorder by lifting up the bottom of the catch and pulling it outwards and upwards (figure 1.3a). Open the door and loosen the captive Platen locking screw (figure 1.3b) to release the chart platen. Open the platen, and inspect the recorder for mechanical integrity. Re-secure the platen and latch the door shut. If the recorder is to be stored before use, return it to the packing in which it was received. If not, the recorder may now be mounted as described below. Once the recorder has been installed, any internal packing should be removed, and stored with the external packing against future transport requirements. HA204392 Issue 3 Mar 02

2.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Details for connecting the line supply and for signal wiring are shown in figure 2.2.1
2.2.1 Supply voltage wiring

The connector for supply voltage connection is in two parts; one part mounted on the main circuit board, the other (mating) part is supplied in the recorder accessory pack. The wiring details for this connector are shown in figure 2.2.1. It must be ensured that the bared ends of the supply voltage wires are fully inserted before the clamping screws are tightened. The safety earth connection is to be made to the earthing point located in the bottom right hand corner of the case. The safety earth conductor must be of such a length that it would be the last conductor to become disconnected should the mains (line) cord be pulled out of the connector. The earth connector pin on the main board connector is the same length as the Line and Neutral pins - local codes of practise should be consulted before making an earth connection to this point.

2.2.2 Supply Voltage selection

The supply voltage selector is located on the main circuit board, near the top wall of the case, as shown in figure 2.2.1, above. Ensure that the slider is in such a position that the number displayed (115 or 230) matches the supply voltage that is to be connected. The supply frequency range for both voltage settings is 45 to 65 Hz. The 115 position is suitable for supply voltages of between 90 and 132 V ac and must be fused with a slow blow, 1 Amp, 20 mm fuse link. The 230 position is suitable for supply voltages of between 180 and 264 V ac and must be fused with a slow blow 1/ 2 Amp (500 mA) 20 mm fuse link.
2.2.3 Signal wiring

The recorder can be connected and configured to operate with a variety of signal sources such as thermocouples, resistance thermometers (RTDs), dc current, dc voltage etc. The configuration of the recorder may require the moving of one or more jumpers on the input amplifier board, and / or the use of input conditioning boards to provide shunts or attenuators. ATTENUATOR EXAMPLE A voltage of 2 to 10 V dc is to be applied across a channel input. As the maximum input voltage is 5 Volts the 100:1 attenuator must be used, resulting in a recorder input range of 20 mV (2V/100) to 100 mV (10V/100). PINOUTS The locations of the input and option boards are shown in figure 2.2.1 Signal wiring termination for the input board is shown in figure 2.2.3a. Signal wiring termination for retransmission outputs, relay outputs and event inputs is shown in figure 2.2.3b. Notes 1. When wiring RTDs, lead length and diameter must be chosen such that lead lengths are equal and that each lead exhibits no more than 10 ohms resistance between the recorder and the RTD. 2. For event input closures, high quality, low resistance contacts must be used which are suitable for dry (i.e. non-powered) operation.
Caution The input circuitry is protected against over-voltage up to 24 V dc. Voltages above this can cause damage to the input board.

2.2.4 Wiring installation

In order to ensure maximum recorder performance, proper wiring installation practises must be followed. Failure to do so can result in a range of problems, from loss of configuration to component failure, caused by transmitted or radiated electrical noise. Proper consideration must be given to local noise sources and appropriate suppression steps taken to minimise any potential problems. Among the most common sources of noise are: Relays, SCRs, valve solenoids, electric motors, power line disturbance, wire-to-wire coupling, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and radio-frequency interference (RFI). To achieve the best results, the following notes should be considered: 1. Low level signal wiring such as that associated with thermocouples, RTDs and current loops should always be kept separate from power and control output wiring. 2. Signal input wiring should be twisted pairs/triplets etc. and the conductors should be stranded rather than solid in construction. All signal wiring should use ground-shielded wires, or be routed through grounded conduit. This minimises the effects of RFI and ESD. 3. Special care should be taken when wiring to relay or solenoid coils, as large transients are produced when coils (or any other inductive devices) are switched. This problem can be eliminated by the use of suitable suppression devices across the coil. Coil transients can also be transmitted through the air, so the recorder itself should be mounted as far as possible from power control devices and/or wiring. 4. When line power is poorly regulated and / or subject to voltage surges or transients, consideration should be given to the use of a line conditioning/transient suppressing line power regulator. Process control motors, valves, relays and heaters should not be connected to the same power lines that are used for instrumentation. 5. The connection of the recorder to a proper safety earth ground is essential. Such a connection not only reduces the possibility of electric shock, but also provides the required return for the recorder line power filters, 6. All local electrical codes of practise must be followed when installing any instrumentation.
2.3 CIRCUIT BOARD LOCATION

The input boards and option boards are located as shown in figure 2.3. There are a number of different types of option board, as listed below, any three of which may be used in any of the three available positions. The card types are as follows: Two relay board containing either relays 1 and 2 or relays 5 and 6. Four relay board containing either relays 1 to 4 or relays 5 to 8 Combined board - 8 Event inputs and 1 retransmission channel Combined board - 8 Event inputs and 2 retransmission channels The serial communications and transmitter power supply option boards are mounted separately, as shown.

Figure 2.4 Input board link locations
Notes: 1 If the link is set to RTD neither channel can be used for anything other than RTD inputs. 2 If the link is set to CJC, channel 2 (4) may be used for RTD or T/C etc. inputs, but channel 1 (3) cannot be used for RTD measurements.
2.4.3 TC/RTD
This link must be set for each channel. Channels with this link set to RTD can be used only for RTD inputs. Channels with this link set to TC, are suitable for all other input types. The setting of the CJC/RT (above) link must be appropriate to the setting of this TC/RTD link.
2.4.4 Upscale/Downscale drive

These links define the behaviour of the channel in the case of a broken thermocouple input circuit. Locating the link to Upscale means that if the recorder detects an open circuit, the channel will drive to the full scale position and remain there until the problem is solved. Locating the link to Downscale is similar, but the recorder drives the trace to chart zero instead of full scale. Note If the associated TC/RTD link is set to RTD, the link must be removed. It is recommended that, for safekeeping, the link be parked sideways on the centre pin of the connector.

3 OPERATION 3.1 OPERATING DISPLAYS

The operating display at the operator interface normally scrolls through all the active channels (where channels includes input channels, totalisers and maths channels) at nine second intervals. To override this scrolling process, the up and/or down arrow keys can be used to step through the channels manually. Operating the Enter key stops the scrolling process, leaving the current channel permanently displayed. Operation of the up or down arrow key restarts the scrolling process.

4.1 CONFIGURATION INTRODUCTION (Cont.)
Note: It is not necessary to use any part of the Calibration menu whilst setting up the recorder to measure and record an input. Improper use of Calibration will affect recorder accuracy. The configuration areas shown in figure 4.1 are each described, in the order in which they appear, in following subsections of this manual.
4.1.1 Operator interface

Figure 4.1.1 depicts the operator interface, which consists of a vacuum fluorescent display containing two lines, each of 20 characters, and six navigation keys.
Figure 4.1.1 Operator interface
KEY FUNCTIONS Up and down keys. These keys are used to change selections, and to scroll through the character set when entering text strings Page key Used to enter configuration mode and to move between successive menu items Right arrow key This key is used to enter the Operator top level menu (section 3) and also acts as a cursor whilst entering text strings or numerical values. Enter key Used to move one step down in menu structures, and also to confirm changes. Clear Used to move one step upwards in a menu structure. Also resets any changes that have been made since the last Enter. CONFIGURATION DISPLAY The basic configuration display format is that the top line contains the configuration item, and the bottom line contains either the current selection of a scroll list of values which are appropriate to that configuration item, or a text or numeric string for editing. Such strings are identified by the cursor symbol displayed to the left of the first character for example: Pri. Chart Spd _24 hr/rv

Provisional Data
4.1.1 OPERATOR INTERFACE (Cont.) ENTRY OF ALPHANUMERIC DATA The recorder uses a scroll and select method of entry. When a word or number entry is required, a cursor (underscore) is displayed at the left end of the lower line. The right-arrow (cursor) key is used to move the cursor to the character to be edited, and the up and down arrow keys used to scroll through the character set until the required character is reached. CHARACTER SET The following lists show the available character set. With numeric entries, only numeric characters appear. With text entries, the following characters make up the standard set. The sequence starts with a blank character, and appears in up-arrow sequence: Space ! # $ % & apostrophe ( ) * + , - . / 0 1 to 9 : ; < = > ? @ A to Z [ \ } ^ _ single opening quote { | } ~ Block Space. The following special characters then appear: 0123456789 before the standard set starts again. Notes: 1 Numeric strings which include spaces will pack (spaces are removed, and the whole string right justified). 2 When scrolling through the character set, the scroll speed increases after the sixth character, and again after the 12th character. 3 The non-standard character set should not be used in character strings to be sent over the Serial comms link (if fitted). Use of such characters will result in corruption of text strings such as Channel descriptors.

4.2 CONFIGURATION ACCESS

Before any configuration changes can be made to the recorder, the Configuration Enable switch must be set to Enable. This switch (SW1) is located on the same circuit board that holds the display (figure 4.2), and is accessible once the door and platen have been opened. WARNING Opening the platen exposes the user to circuitry that may be carrying hazardous voltages. Only qualified service personnel may open the platen whilst hazardous voltages (supply or signal) are connected to the recorder.

Lin Funct Selectable from: Off, Linear, square root, 3/2 power, 5/2 power. Log10, Custom curve, Comms. Thermocouple types: B, C, E, J, K, L, N, Ni/NiMo, R, S, T RTD types: Cu10, Pt100A, PT100D, Ni100, Ni120, Select from C, F or Programmable units (see Prog Units, below) Use up/down arrow keys to set the number of decimal places (choose none to four). Some thought should be given to this selection, to avoid displaying spurious accuracy, and to avoid rapidly changing numbers that can cause fatigue and confusion. This field appears only if Prog. Units was selected in the Units configuration item, above. The up/down/cursor keys are used to enter a units string of up to five characters. Use the up/down arrow keys to select Volts, Millivolts, Ohms or Thermocouple. Range Low and high values include the highest and lowest values to be measured in the Engineering units to be used. Range high and low values must be entered for all inputs, to allow the recorder to select the appropriate internal operating range. The recorder will normally operate beyond the specified range values, but the specified recorder accuracy is guaranteed only when the recorder is working within the entered range settings. See table 4.3.1 for details of the recorders internal ranges. These fields do not appear for Input type = Thermocouple. Input low/high settings define the electrical input that represents the range inputs entered in Range Low/high configuration. Input values are unnecessary if Input type = Ohms and Lin Funct. is set to one of the RTD tables. The recorder will normally operate beyond the specified input values, but the specified recorder accuracy is guaranteed only when the recorder is working within the entered values. These inputs define what part of the input signal is to be represented by chart zero to chart full scale. If Chart Low and High values match the Range Low and High values, then chart zero and chart full scale will match Range Low and Range High respectively. Input filtering slows the normal zero-to-full scale response of 0.5 second (Filter time = 0) to the selected value of seconds. All functions, including alarm sensing are affected by this filtering. The cold junction compensation site (where the signal wire changes from thermocouple wire or thermocouple compensation wire to copper) can be defined as internal or external. If external is selected, a temperature for the remote site must be entered in Instrument configuration (Ext CJC Temp) (section 4.5). A 16 character (max.) string may be entered here as a channel descriptor to appear in the background display. In some cases, it might be necessary to adjust the displayed/recorded value to agree with other measurements. For example, Channel adjust can be used to zero an input, such as a load cell, which has a non-zero output for a zero reading The adjust value is not limited. Positive values add to, and negative values subtract from the measured values.

4.3.2 Examples and application notes

Notes: 1. If Input Type = Millivolts, the Input High value must not be greater than 400mV because the recorder will automatically measure inputs greater than 400mV in Volts, not millivolts. See example 1 below. 2. For direct thermocouples, set Input type to thermocouple, and select the thermocouple type in Lin. Funct. For indirect thermocouples, set Input type to Volts or Millivolts and select the thermocouple type in Lin. Funct. input Low/High define the actual electrical input. EXAMPLE 1: mV RANGING Input ranges greater than 400mV are always measured using one of the Voltage ranges. Thus, a signal of 250 mV applied to a channel ranged 0 to 500 mV, will display a value of 0.25 units, not 250 units, as might be expected. Further, the resolution of the measured value is lower with a voltage range than it is with a millivolt range (see table 4.3.1, above). EXAMPLE 2: MEASURING NEGATIVE VALUES The negative portion of each input range is 20% of the positive portion. This means that when measuring signals whose negative and positive excursions are equal, a higher range may have to be used. For example, if an input of -1 to +1 Volts is to result in a reading of between -100 and +100, the recorder range must be configured as -100 to +500 with an input range of -1 to +5 Volts. EXAMPLE 3: THERMOCOUPLE RANGES A type J thermocouple range of 0 to 500 F represents a span of 14.993 mV, causing the recorder to select range 1 (-4 to + 20 mV see table 4.3.1, above). Should the temperature exceed 663 F (span = 20mV) input range 1 limits are exceeded and the accuracy of the displayed/recorded temperatures will not remain within the specified accuracy. EXAMPLE 4: CURRENT LOOP MEASUREMENTS A transmitter ranged for 0 to 1000 litres/min produces a 4 to 20 mA signal. This is converted to a 1 to 5 Volt signal by a 250 shunt across the channel inputs. The channel input values should be set to Input low = 1V; Input high = 5V, Range Low = 0; Range high = 1000, Units = l/min. EXAMPLE 5: CHART RANGE In example 2, only the -100 to +100 portion of the input range is required on the chart. This can be achieved by setting the Chart range low and high values to -100 and +100 respectively. Similarly, it is possible to compress the input range and trace it on a particular portion of the chart, by setting the chart range greater than the input range. In our example, if the chart range is set to -100 to +500, then the input range of -100 to +100 would be compressed into the bottom 20% of the chart.

4.5.2 Action Equations

Many of the standard and optional features of the recorder can be reset, started, stopped etc. in response to internal triggers, or external (contact closure) events. The list of triggers, as they appear in the (up arrow) scroll list, is as follows: C11 to C18 C21 to C28 TT1 to TT4 D1H/L, D2H/L A11 to A64 SP1 to SP8 COM KEY INA GLA TM1 to TM4 Event input Event input Totaliser reaching its preset value Controller deviation alarms Alarms Channel 1 Alarm 1 to Channel 6 Alarm 4 Setpoint generator events 1 to 8 Trigger settable via the Comms port Soft Key set On by the operator Instrument alarm Global alarm Timer 1 to Timer 4 reaching its preset time
Notes 1 The above list includes all options. If an option is not fitted then its triggers do not appear in the scroll list. 2 Soft Key operation is context sensitive, and will either result in a single trigger or a continuous state change depending on the action equation. The action equation is a Logical OR of all the triggers included in the equation. The number of triggers is unlimited, and if there are more than can be include in one page, the page key can be operated to go to the next page. (The enter key might need to be operated before progressing to further pages when adding new triggers in configuration mode.) ACTION EQUATION EXAMPLE The following entries would be made to cause the chart speed to change to the alternative chart speed when one or more of the following triggers is active: Alarm 1 on channel 1; Alarm 2 on channel 2, Alarm 1 on channel 3, Softkey On.

4.5.3 Custom curve

A custom curve is defined by five segments, each of three points, where the third point of one segment is also the first point of the next segment. Thus, segment one consists of points one, two and three; segment two of points three, four and five, segment three of points five, six and seven, and so on, up to point 11. A 3rd order polynomial fit is then applied to the 11 points. Each point is defined as a pair of values (a point pair) consisting of the signal input value, and an associated % value as shown in the example below. Because the curve can be used as the linearisation function for any input channel, percentage of full scale is used, rather than specific units. Figure 4.5.3 shows the configuration menu.
Note: Value must be entered for all eleven point pairs, otherwise the polynomial fit will not be accurate. If a fewer number of segments are required, then imaginary values must be entered for the unused points. Values for these spare points must always increase. EXAMPLE A particular linearisation curve (defined by the user) is to be made up of three segments (points 1 to 7). The signal value for point 1 is 4.0 mA (= 0%); the full scale value (point 7) is 20 mA (100 %). These values are converted to a signal range of 1 to 5 Volts by a 250 shunt across the channel input. The point pair data is as listed in the table below:

4.6.1 Alarm Types

For the purposes of this document, alarms are described as being of three types - Absolute, Deadband and Rate-of Change. ABSOLUTE ALARMS Absolute High alarms become active when the measured value exceeds the Setpoint value, and remain active until the Measured value falls below the value given by (Setpoint - Hysteresis). Absolute Low alarms become active when the measured value falls below the Setpoint value, and remain active until the Measured value rises above the value given by (Setpoint + Hysteresis). DEADBAND ALARMS A deadband alarm is active: 1 If the measured value rises above the value given by (Setpoint + Deadband). In this case, the alar remains active until the measured value falls below the value (Setpoint + Deadband - Hysteresis) 2 If the measured value falls below the value given by (Setpoint - Deadband). In this case the alarm remains active until the measured value rises above the value (Setpoint - Deadband + Hysteresis).

Provisional Data
4.6.1 ALARM TYPES (Cont.) RATE OF CHANGE ALARMS Rate-Rising alarms become active if the measured value increases by more than the Setpoint within the specified unit time (Rate Base). Such alarms remain active until the rate of change falls below (Setpoint - Hysteresis) per unit time. Rate- Falling alarms become active if the measured value decreases by more than the Setpoint within the specified unit time (Rate Base). Such alarms remain active until the rate of change rises above (Setpoint + Hysteresis) per unit time. A filter setting of 1 second is recommended for use with rate of change alarms. Without filtering, step changes may prove too fast for the recorder to measure a rate. With larger values of filter time, the input signal may be slowed too much for the alarm to be useful. EXAMPLE 1: RATE OF CHANGE ALARMS When a large piece of rotating machinery is cold started, it is important to know if any of the bearings are overheating. An absolute high alarm is not always adequate, because by the time the bearing has tripped the alarm the damage may already have been done. A rate-rising alarm can detect any unusually rapid rise in temperature, and give warning of impending failure. EXAMPLE 2: HYSTERESIS Hysteresis is used to ensure nuisance trips are filtered out from situations where the measured value is hovering about the setpoint value. For example, an absolute high alarm set to 450 C becomes active at 450 C and returns to an inactive state at 449.9 C. This leads to the alarm rapidly going on and off if the temperature is hovering at 450 C This situation can be remedied by introducing a hysteresis value of (say) 10 C, so the alarm still becomes active at 450 C but remains active until the temperature falls below 440 C

4.8 TOTALISER OPTION CONFIGURATION

A totaliser is an electronic integrator, primarily used to record a numeric total, over time, of a measured value that is expressed as a rate (e.g. the number of cubic metres since last reset, based on a flow rate of cubic metres per hour). The totaliser function reads the numeric input from its source once a second. This reading is divided by the totaliser factor and added to the total. The totaliser factor is normally the number of seconds in the measured values time base. Thus, for example, if the input is in cubic metres per hour, the totaliser factor would have to be the number of seconds in an hour = 3600. Totalisers can also be configured to count contact closures at a maximum rate of 8 per second. A further option (Counter output) allows an output relay to retransmit totaliser counts with a 50 msec. closure for each count. Outputs can be one-to-one with inputs, or can be divided by a scaling value (e.g. one output count for evert 1000 totaliser counts). Note: During power off conditions, totaliser values are retained for 100 hours by a super cap on the CPU board. Figure 4.8 shows the totaliser menu structure, including the counter output option.
4.8.1 Factor Entry

For totalisers with channel sources, the factor is entered in terms of the time base of the source channel in seconds. If the source is a contact closure, the factor defines a ratio of input counts: displayed counts. In either case, the factor is entered as two parts, the mantissa (Man) and the exponent (Exp). For example 1760 can be expressed as 1.760 x 1000 or 1.760 x 103. In this case the mantissa is 1.760 and the exponent is 3. 1769000 can be expressed as 1.769 x 1000000 or 1.769 x 106. In this case, the mantissa is 1.769 and the exponent is 6. An exponent of 0 means multiply by 1. SCALING Because the display has only five characters, source values that would normally be expressed in more than five digits (e.g. 0 to 3,000,000 litres/day) must be ranged as a ration of that number (e.g. 0 to 3000 with a description of litres/ day x 1,000). The totaliser will then count in steps of 1,000 gallons, so that 3,000,000 gallons would add 3,000 counts. To make the totaliser count more slowly, the exponent can be altered. For example, directly totalising 30,000 litres/ minute (Factor = 60 = 6.0000 x 101) would add 43,2000,000 counts per day. This would overflow the totaliser in 23 days. If the factor were changed so that the readings were not in litres, but in thousands of litres, (i.e. by changing the exponent from 101 (exp = 1) to 104 (exp = 4)), only 43,200 counts would be added each day and the totaliser would take over 60 years to overflow. Note: If a source is ranged 0.0 to 3.0 and the totaliser is scaled up by a 1000, each change in the least significant digit (LSD) represents 100 counts, with a potentially large rounding error. If the Sources range is set to 0.000 to 3.000, each change in the LSD represents only 1 count. It is also possible to make the totaliser count faster than the rate being received from the source. E.G. to make the count 10 times faster, reduce the exponent by 1; to make it 100 times faster, reduce the exponent by 2.

Totaliser number Type Off Continuous The up and down arrow keys and the Enter key are used to select a totaliser for configuration Select Off, Continuous, Preset up/down or Preload The totaliser is disabled Totaliser value increases continuously unless reset by the operator or by action equation. Totaliser value returns to zero and starts again after 999,999,999 counts have been exceeded. A Preset Up totaliser counts up to the Preset value. When this value is reached the totaliser stops and an internal trigger is set for use in action equations. A preset down totaliser counts to zero from the preset value. When zero is reached the totaliser stops and an internal trigger is set for use in action equations. The totaliser reset equation can be used to reset the totaliser as a result of such a trigger. This type of totaliser is a continuous totaliser that restarts from a user-entered value (Preload). Useful when totalising must be paused for some reason, and then restarted from a known value. The up and down arrow keys and the Enter key are used to select an input or derived channel, or a contact closure source.

The default High cut off value is Overrange, and all five of the caret (^) symbols must be replaced or deleted if a different value is entered. The up/down arrow keys are used to select the totaliser as resettable or not. When set to Yes, the totaliser can be reset by the operator (section 3), or by action equation. When set to No, the totaliser all requests to reset the totaliser are ignored. Allows the totaliser reset equation to be set up. - See section 4.5.2 for a description of action equations. Allows the totaliser hold equation to be set up. - See section 4.5.2 for a description of action equations. When selected on, this option outputs a trigger every time a specifiable number of counts has been added to the totaliser value. This trigger can be used to operate a relay. Enter allows the ratio between totaliser counts and output counter triggers to be set. For example, a factor of 1 (1.0000 x 100) means that there is a trigger every time the totaliser value changes; a factor of 10 (1.000 x 101) means that there is one trigger for every 10 totaliser counts, and so on. See section 4.8.1 for details of factor entry. Allows a descriptor for the totaliser to be entered. Page 37

4.9 TIMER CONFIGURATION

There are four internal timers which can be set to count down from a preset number of minutes. When this time has elapsed, the timer sets an internal trigger (TM1 to TM4). The timer starts when reset through its reset equation. If the timer output trigger is used as a source for the reset action equation, then the timer becomes a repeating interval timer. Notes 1. Because of the iteration rate of the recorder, there is a delay of approximately one second between a counters reaching zero and it restarting. 2. After power losses of up to a few seconds, timers reset to zero. After longer periods without power, timers restart their count from the entered number of minutes (Duration). Figure 4.9 shows the menu structure.

4.10 DERIVED VARIABLES
4.10.1 Introduction
This feature provides basic and specialised maths functions. Each recorder may have one or two optional derived channels which are displayed as channels 5 and 6. There are a total of nine derived variable which can be used by either or both derived channels. A derived channel can be traced on the chart by assigning a pen to it in its configuration (section 4.4). The channel from which the pen is taken continues to act as configured (i.e. its value is still displayed, alarms still acted on, it can still be totalised etc.), but it does not appear on the chart. Although the results of only two calculations can be assigned to channels - and therefore appear in the normal background scrolling of channel values - the values of all Derived Variables (DVs) can be viewed from the operator manu (section 3) AVAILABLE MATHS FUNCTIONS The following is a list of the available maths functions.

Because of processing time allocations, a maximum of two specialised functions may be running at any one time. 2. DV calculations work in Engineering units. For example, If a 4 to 20 mA input is converted to 1 to 5 Volts at the channel input and scaled 0 to 400 Bar, any DV calculation with this channel as a source will return a value in Bar. 3. Functions marked with an asterisk (*) have their values retained for 100 hours, under power off conditions, by a supercap located on the CPU board.

These, scalable, outputs may be directly proportional to the linearised value of any of channels 1 to 4, to any of the DV Calc. values or to a setpoint generator trace 1 or 2 value. Retransmission outputs must be used when a Controller current (CAT) output is specified. Board number is automatically determined by the recorder (but see note 5) When PID control loops are present, the following assignment represents the default setup. The assignments can be changed during configuration. Outputs not used for control loops can be used as normal. Loop 1 output = Board 1, output A Loop 2 output = Board 1, output B Loop 1 duplex = Board 1 outputs A and B Loop 2 duplex = Board 2 outputs A and B
4.11.1 Hardware configuration

Each circuit board has two links to define whether their associated retransmission output is to be Voltage or Current. The relevant positions for these links is shown in figure 4.11.1, below, which also shows the pinout. Notes: 1 All three board definition links must be set to the same position 2 Voltage outputs can be set to either 0 to 5V or 1 to 5V in software configuration (section 4.11.2) 3 Current inputs can be set to 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA in software configuration (section 4.11.2) 4 For each board, the retransmission negative outputs are common. 5. On previous board versions, the board number was defined by three links on the board, all of which had to be set to board 1, or all set to board 2 position.
Board 1 provides contact inputs C11 to C18. Board 2 contains contact inputs C21 to C28.
All 'C' terminals common

4.12 CONTACT (EVENT) INPUTS

This option is shared with the Retransmission Output option described in section 4.11, above. The hardware configuration is the same as described in section 4.11.1, except that the positions of the Volt/mA links are not relevant. Each option board provides 8 inputs, which can be either contact closure or logic levels (low = active). The termination is arranged such that there is one common contact for every two contact inputs. This is for wiring convenience only, as all the C contacts are commoned together on the circuit board. Figure 4.12, below shows typical wiring configurations. Contact inputs are used only as sources for action equations. Board one inputs are denoted C11 to C18; board two inputs have the designation C21 to C28. 8 7 C 6 5 C 4 3 C 2 1 C

4.13 EVENT PEN

This option uses pen 3 or 4* to act as an event marker. The pen normally traces at 100% chart, but moves in by 10% when a contact (e.g. switch or relay), wired to the input channel, is closed by the user. The input channel is fitted with a 250 shunt resistor. * Notes: 1 It is not possible to have four recording channels and an event marker, 2 Pen 4 is used if there are three recording channels fitted.; pen 3 is used if there are only two recording channels fitted.

5 CALIBRATION
Note: Amongst other things, the calibration function offers the means of calibrating input channels and cold junction compensation using precision signal standards. Calibration should not be used to set up a recorder to measure a particular input - this should be done using the configuration menus described in section 4, above. Figure 5 shows the top level calibration menu. Lower levels are described in later sub-sections.

5.1.1 Input channel calibration procedure

For each channel, there are nine ranges to calibrate, as shown in the table above. The procedure is the same for each, as follows: 1. Select a channel for calibration, as described in figure 5.1 above. Press Enter. 2. Select a range, using the up/down arrow keys, then press Enter. Note: It is recommended that all ranges be calibrated, in the order that they appear in the picklist. In particular, the 60 mV and 1.7 V ranges should be calibrated before CJC calibration, and the 200 mV range before Ohms calibration. 3. Apply the requested calibrating signal high value* (e.g. 20mV) across the channel terminals, then press the page key. 4. After the Wait message has disappeared, apply the requested calibrating signal low value* (e.g. 0 mV) across the channel terminals, then press the page key. 5. After the Wait message has disappeared, select a new range and repeat the procedure. 6. Repeat for all required channels. *Note: If it is not possible to apply exactly the requested value of calibration signal, then use the up/down/ cursor keys to enter the value of a signal that is available. This should be as close to the requested value as possible.

5.2 CJC SENSOR CALIBRATION

This procedure calibrates the cold junction compensation which is applied to the recorder input signals when thermocouple inputs are configured for use. The procedure should be applied to both input boards if more than one is fitted. The procedure requires a Type J thermocouple, maintained at a known temperature, (or a Type J thermocouple simulator) to be connected across input 1 of the board whose CJC sensor is to be calibrated (i.e. channel 1 or channel 3). Figure 5.2 shows the CJC calibration menu.

6 DIAGNOSTICS AND FAULT LOCATION 6.1 PROMS AND RAM

Figure 6.1 is a representation of the main board, showing the locations of the various memory chips. The recorder operating programs are held in a plug-in EPROM (U17) located near the centre of the main board. This integrated circuit also holds user entered configuration for input channels, input channel alarms, password, chart speed and chart hold. A 2kB serial EEPROM (U3), near the top left corner of the main board, is used to store the following configurations: Relays, Custom curve, Totaliser, Derived channels, Derived channel alarms, Derived variables, Retransmission outputs, timers, Controller and Communications. A further similar EEPROM (U4) is used to hold configuration data for the setpoint generator option. All this data is also held in RAM, and is retained there for 100 hours without power by the 0.47F Super cap on the main board. The RAM area is also used to store items which have a history component i.e. 1. Totaliser values, 2. Derived variable values for Average, Hi/Lo peak and Fvalue 3. Controller values for Output, A/M choice, integral term, derivative term 4. Setpoint generator values for Elapsed and segment times, Current segment, Mode choice.

6.2 RECORDER UPGRADE

Field addition or removal of options, and software update to operate with certain added hardware options is carried out using a Feature Addition Kit, containing a 2k serial EEPROM, and, if necessary, a replacement main EEPROM. To add new options, isolate the recorder from supply power, then insert the 8-pin EEPROM into socket U4. If necessary, prise the existing main EEPROM out of its socket and replace it with the new one supplied with the kit. Reapply power to the recorder. Note: It is recommended that the EEPROM be left in socket U4. Once used in one recorder, it cannot be used to upgrade another. HA204392 Issue 3 Mar 02 Page 53

Pressing the clear key returns to the Pen select display, allowing a further pen servo to be selected for testing.
6.4 FAULT LOCATION

The fault location guide is intended to allow the user to locate an operational fault to a specific circuit board. CAUTION When trouble-shooting by board change, the user must take adequate protective measures against damage being caused by electrostatic discharge. Note: The recorders software features are resident on the main board. If the main board is replaced, the features on the new board may not be the same as those on the replaced board.
