2GENERAL PROGRAMMING
The programming procedures are used to make changes to the
operating parameter values and for scale adjustment.
The programming of all channels is performed using
faceplate 1 – see Fig. 2.1.
When changing the input type it may be necessary to reposition
the input selector links accordingly – see Section 5,
CONNECTIONS & LINKS.
2.1 Preparation for Changes to the Parameters
Isolate all external alarm/control circuits to prevent inadvertent
operation during programming.
Changes to the operating parameters are implemented using
or keys – see Section 3 of the Operating Guide.

Note. The recorder responds instantly to parameter
changes which are saved automatically when leaving

2.2 Security System
A security system is used to prevent tampering with the
programmed parameters by restricting access to programming
levels, other than the

A security password is used to give access to the programming
pages. The password can be set to any value from 0 to 9999.

The operation of a delayed high/low process alarm is identical to that of the standard high/low process alarm but the alarm can
be enabled/disabled by use of a digital signal.
The alarm state is held off whilst the enable signal is off and continues to be held off for a pre-configured period of time after
the enable signal is switched ON (irrespective of the process variable value). Once the pre-configured alarm delay time has
expired then the alarm operates in the same manner as a standard high/low process alarm.
Process variable goes above trip point but alarm is not activated because enable signal is low (Alarm Disable).
1
Alarm Enable signal is switched On. Alarm delay timer started.
2
Process variable goes above trip point but alarm is not activated because alarm delay time has not expired.
3
Alarm delay timer expires, alarm is now enabled. Alarm is activated because process variable is above trip point.
4
Process variable goes below trip (hysteresis) point therefore alarm is de-activated.
5
Process variable goes above trip point, alarm is activated (alarm is enabled and delay time has expired).
6
Alarm Enable signal is switched Off. Alarm is disabled immediately. Alarm de-activates.

Information.
• Analog Inputs – do not require re-calibrating when the input type or range is changed.
• Process variable adjust reset – removes any previously programmed offset or scale adjustment settings.
• System offsets errors – can be removed using process variable scale offset adjustment.
• System scale errors – can be removed using process variable span adjustment.
• Process variable offset/span adjustment – can be used to perform spot calibration
• Pen(s) – can be independently calibrated and checked across the full range of the chart.
• Mains filter – selectable for maximum noise rejection.
• Pen Linearity Check – automatically draws a pen linearity test pattern.

• 4 logic equations
• 7 elements per equation
• OR/AND operators
• Can combine internal and external digital signals – i.e. alarms, digital inputs, other logic equation results and real time
events (timer option).
For each equation, the logic elements 1 to 7 are arranged sequentially, as shown below. Odd numbered elements are used for logic
inputs and even numbered elements for logic gates.
Logic inputs must be set to one of the digital sources listed in Table 3.1 on page 16.
Logic gates must be set to ANd, Oror End. Setting an element to End terminates the equation.
