Section 1 - Introduction and General Information

This instrument is a microprocessor based circular chart recorder capable of measuring, displaying, and recording from a variety of inputs. Applications include temperature, level, pressure, flow, and others. The instrument can be specified as either a one, two, three, or four pen model.

The standard process sensor inputs (up to 8 total inputs) are user configurable to directly connect to and convert thermocouple, RTD, millivolt, volt, milliamp or contact closure inputs. Thermocouple and RTD linearization, as well as thermocouple cold junction compensation, are performed automatically. Up to four individually isolated 24 VDC regulated transmitter power supplies are available for transmitter inputs, each providing up to 25 mADC.

Using the optional math capability, mass flow, BTUs, relative humidity, and other derived variables can be calculated, as well as simple math functions performed and custom curve conversions. Optional totalization is available for input values or derived variables. Any recorder value can be treated as a process value, to provide alarming and special display capability.

Up to 4 variables can be recorded as analog trend lines on chart sizes of 10, 11, or 12 inches in diameter. The trend lines can be the result of instantaneous values, connecting the values, drag pen, average values, or connecting the average values. The trend lines can be scaled and positioned on the chart in zones. Trend scales, units, and a trend tag can be printed in the same color as time lines.

Dates, times, batch numbers, operator IDs, process values, scales and alarm messages can all be printed on the chart in color.

Definitions for a large number of "Terms and Concepts" described in this manual are included in Appendix C.

1.1 UNPACKING

Remove the instrument and pen cartridge assembly from the shipping container and inspect for any damage due to shipment. If any damage is noticed due to transit, report and file a claim with the carrier. Write the model number and serial number in spaces provided on Page 1-3 of this manual for future reference. The model number and serial number are found on the label on the case, viewed when platen is open.

!

CAUTION: READ THIS MANUAL

THE INTERNATIONAL HAZARD SYMBOL IS FOUND ADJACENT TO THE LOWER PLATEN HOLD DOWN SCREW. IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR COMMISSIONING THE UNIT.

DESCRIPTION

The instrument is the first circular chart recorder with the ability to record trend data and print alphanumeric in four colors. It uses unique ìring onlyî charts and has the ability to zone and scale trend data. These capabilities not only provide the best trend data readability, but also instant association with the corresponding scales. Whether itís basic application of recording inputs, to a demanding application requiring derived variables, logic functions, totalization, or other capabilities, the instrument can be supplied with the necessary level of sophistication, while maintaining an uncomplicated operator interface.

MODELS

The instrument is available in versions for trend recording of one to four values. The number of colors can equal the number of trended values, or all four colors can be provided. The latter option provides the greatest color flexibility and makes it easier to add trend capability to the instrument in the field. The instrument can have up to eight inputs, and inputs are not directly associated with trend pens. The instrument can trend any combination of inputs, averages, derived variables, logic states, even totals. A full compliment of options provides the flexibility to handle virtually any type of application.

CONFIGURATION

A multilevel prompting scheme provides rapid access to all configuration data. By model number and

selective enabling the software displays only those configuration sections needed. The 40 character, vacuum fluorescent display provides true English language prompts. The 15 keypad makes moving through the prompts and modifying the parameters intuitive. Multiple choice selections and use of the ìquick select keysî simplifies the programming of many parameters. Copy functions make configuring similar sets of parameters even faster. Two methods of modifying character strings simplifies the entry of English tags and units. The instrument even displays the proper jumper placement for the installer. The instrument can virtually be configured without looking at the manual.

OPERATOR INTERFACE

Beyond the configuration capability, the display, keypad, and prompting system provide superior real time data presentation. The display of each instrument value is configurable and three display formats are available, providing a range from fully detailed displays with 20 character tags, alarm indications, values, and units, to four process values displayed simultaneously. Separate keys are used to access the display, chart, and configuration related areas. By selective enabling and password protection, access to various operational areas of the instrument can be limited or controlled. Some keys can also be configured to provide special functions, such as resetting totalizers. The operator interface has been designed to make daily operation as simple as possible. Changing charts, for example, requires only three keystrokes.

CONSTRUCTION

The instrument is housed in a structural foam moulded enclosure which can be panel or surface mounted. Mounting brackets are included. Its design allows it to fit into the smallest panel cutout of competitive products, while it covers the largest cutout of others. Glass and plastic windows are available, along with a cover lock. The standard enclosure carries a NEMA3 rating, with an optional NEMA4X available.

OPTIONS

The instrument is available with a full compliment of options. Up to eight isolated universal inputs are available with each being configurable to any of the available input types. Up to four isolated transmitter power supplies can be added. Up to four inputs or derived variables can be assigned as "process variables", allowing up to four alarms for each. Alarms can be process high or low, or rate rising or falling. The alarming capability is standard, but the hardware outputs are optional. Up to eight on/off outputs are available, either relay or solid state relay driver outputs. Besides alarms, any of over eighty other digital values/ states can be used to actuate on/off outputs. Up to two non-isolated analog outputs or up to 4 isolated analog outputs are available. Any of over twenty values can be used to drive analog outputs (i.e. inputs, derived variables, etc.) Other options include PC based configuration software and a communications interface.

FIELD UPGRADES

All of items listed in the Options section are easily installed in the field. Typically it involves just adding boards, but possibly PROMs may need to be changed as well. To add totalizers or the math package, only PROMS must be changed. If the four color option was purchased, only PROMS need to be changed to expand trend capability, otherwise, a relative costly pen arm assembly must be replaced as well.

NOTES: The table attempts to show the effect of each significant factor which contributes to the overall measurement error. See the enumerated items below for more specific explanations of each column of data.

1.Reference Acc'y based on 0.025% (250ppm) of input voltage span.

2.Linearization Acc'y is based on conformance to NIST Monograph 175 (based on the ITS-90) for letter-designated thermocouple types, or other industry standards for non letter-designated type TCs and all RTDs.

3.Factory Cal is defined by limits of repeatability in a manufacturing environment per the table for zero and span calibrations, and ± 0.15°C for thermocouple cold junction calibrations.

4.The REF + LIN + CAL column represents the total "static" error allowed for an instrument as produced by the manufacturing process.

5.Deviation Acc'y is derived from a temperature coefficient of 0.01%/°C or ± 100ppm/°C expressed in units of the corresponding range.

6.Resolution on thermocouples and RTDs is derived as a function of the input voltage range and dV/dT.

2.2 PREPARATION FOR WIRING

This product is in conformity with the protection requirements of EU Council Directive 89/336EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility. The factory cannot accept responsibility for any failure to satisfy the protection requirements resulting from a non-recommended modification of this product.

Electrical noise is a phenomenon typical of industrial environments. The following are guidelines that must be followed to minimize the effect of noise upon any instrumentation.

Installation Considerations

Listed below are some of the common sources of electrical noise in the industrial environment:

Ignition Transformers

Arc Welders

Mechanical contact relay(s)

Solenoids

Before using any instrument near the devices listed, the instructions below should be followed:

1.If the instrument is to be mounted in the same panel as any of the listed devices, separate them by the largest distance possible. For maximum electrical noise reduction, the noise generating devices should be mounted

in

a separate enclosure.

2.If possible, eliminate mechanical contact relay(s) and replace with solid state relays. If a mechanical relay being powered by an instrument output device cannot be replaced, a solid state relay can be used to isolate the instrument.

3.A separate isolation transformer to feed only instrumentation should be considered. The transformer can isolate the instrument from noise found on the AC power input.

4.If the instrument is being installed on existing equipment, the wiring in the area should be checked to insure that good practices have been followed.

AC Power Wiring

Earth Ground

The instrument includes noise suppressing components that require an earth ground connection to function. To verify that a good earth ground is being attached, make a resistance check from the instrument chassis to the nearest metal water pipe or proven earth ground. This reading should not exceed 100 ohms. Each instrument should have a dedicated earth ground. Do not chain link multiple instrument ground wires.

Neutral (For 115 VAC)

It is good practice to assure that the AC neutral is at or near ground potential. To verify this, a voltmeter check between neutral and ground should be performed. On the AC range, the reading should not be more than 50 millivolts. If it is greater than this amount, the secondary of the AC transformer supplying the instrument should be checked by an electrician. A proper neutral will help ensure maximum performance from the instrument.

Wire Isolation/Segregation

The instrument is designed to promote proper separation of the wiring groups that connect to the instrument. The AC power wire terminals are located near the bottom of the power supply board. The analog signal terminals are located near the bottom of the instrument boards. Maintain this separation of the wires to insure the best protection from electrical noise. If the wires need to be run parallel with any other wiring type(s), maintain a minimum 6 inch space between the wires. If wires must cross each other, do so at 90 degrees to minimize the contact with each other and reduce cross talk. Cross talk is due to the electro magnetic field induced by a wire as current passes through it.

Section 2

2-3

Edition 3

Rev G

Use of Shielded Cable

Shielded cable helps eliminate electrical noise being induced on the wires. All analog signals should be run with shielded cable. Connection lead length should be kept as short as possible, keeping the wires protected by the shielding. The shield should be grounded at one end only. The preferred grounding location is at the sensor, transmitter or transducer.

Noise Suppression at the Source

Usually, when good wiring practices are followed, no further noise protection is necessary. Sometimes in severe electrical environments, the amount of noise is so great that it has to be suppressed at the source. Many manufacturers of relays, contactors, etc. supply "surge suppressors" which mount on the noise source.

For those devices that do not have surge suppressors supplied, RC (resistance capacitance) networks and/or MOV (metal oxide varistors) may be added.

Inductive Coils - MOV's are recommended for transient suppression in inductive coils connected in parallel and as close as possible to the coil. See Figure 2-2 (below). Additional protection may be provided by adding an RC network across the MOV.

Contacts - Arcing may occur across contacts when the contact opens and closes. This results in electrical noise as well as damage to the contacts. Connecting a RC network properly sized can eliminate this arc.

For circuits up to 3 amps, a combination of a 47 ohm resistor and a 0.1 microfarad capacitor (1000 volts) is recommended. For circuits from 3 to 5 amps, connect 2 of these in parallel. See Figure 2-3 (below).

Sensor Placement (Thermocouple or RTD)

Thermocouple lead resistance should not exceed 300 ohms. If this is exceeded, instrument accuracy could be affected.

Two wire RTD's should be used only with lead lengths less than 10 feet.

If the temperature probe is to be subjected to corrosive or abrasive conditions, it should be protected by the appropriate thermowell. The probe should be positioned to reflect true process temperature:

In liquid media - the most agitated area

In air - the best circulated area

2.3 WIRING CONNECTIONS - INPUTS

All wiring connections are typically made to the instrument at the time of installation. Connections should be made at the terminal blocks, one 14 gauge wire maximum, using copper conductors except for thermocouple inputs. See Figure 2-4 (below) for the terminal block locations. The recommended torque for the AC Mains connector on the power supply board is 113oz-ins and the recommended torque for all other connectors in the unit is 85oz-ins.

The instrument case may have numerous conduit openings, EC1 - EC6, depending upon the number of inputs and outputs specified (EC5 and EC6 are not included on all models). To help minimize electrical noise that may adversely affect the operation of the instrument, do not run input and/or 4-20mA output connections through the same conduit entry as relay or power supply connections. See Figure 2-1B (page 2-2) for conduit opening locations.

If any board is removed from the instrument in a multiple stack of boards, it MUST BE installed in the correct sequence or these jumpers MUST BE moved. If not installed correctly, calibration will be affected.

2.3.2 SENSOR BREAK and OUT-OF-RANGE DETECTION

Sensor break and out-of-range conditions are determined and handled by the software. When either occurs, the software will drive the input value to +99999 or -99999 based upon whether SENSOR BREAK is software configured for UPSCALE or DOWN SCALE in Input Configuration. Any outputs will react accordingly. Out-of-range is defined as being more than 5% out of the span established by RANGE LIMIT LOW and RANGE LIMIT HIGH.

For 5 or 10 Volt and Current inputs, the analog signal goes to zero when there is a sensor break, due to voltage divider or shunt resistors. For sensor break detection to work on these input types, the INPUT RANGE LOW (analog signal low) and/or RANGE LIMIT LOW (engineering units low) parameters must be set high enough such that at zero volts/mA, the resultant value will be at least 5% below the span established by RANGE LIMIT LOW and RANGE LIMIT HIGH.
