Chapter 1. OVERVIEW
1.1. Introduction
The ARF200 Paperless Recorder is able to measure temperature and various other industrial process
quantities from 12 through to 24, 36 and 48 channels, and display various data in real time on a
12.1-inch TFT color LCD. This recorder can also store measured data in its internal memory or on a
memory card (CF card or USB memory). Stored data can be loaded into off-the-shelf software like
Excel, and data analysis software especially designed for the ARF200 is also available.
Main Features
・ A variety of screen displays
Real-time trends, bar graphs, data in table format, and combined displays of real-time
trends plus bar graphs, real time trends with numeric values, and real time trends plus
historical trends can be freely selected and monitored in the most suitable display format
for your requirements. Other displays include a summary of past alarm activity and a list
of annotations made with the marker function. In addition, up to 6 channel groups can be
registered, allowing easy switching between them and 4-split screen display.
・ Marker function
Symbols and annotations (up to 30 alphanumeric characters) can be written on trend
screens. Annotations can be written freely, and also up to 50 can be assigned to key
combinations for easy writing. Annotations can be written on stored and replayed trend
screens, too. Adding a symbol only without text is also possible.
・ Various memory functions
Start/stop of data storage can be executed by user-selected conditions like key operation,
alarm occurrence, time, etc. and simultaneous storage to as many as 6 files is available.
In normal operation, data is stored in internal memory and can be saved on a CF memory
card.
・ Analog recorder feeling
Since the trend screen displays data in chart format with scales and “pens,” monitoring
the data has the feel of monitoring an analog recorder.
・ Easy setup
Parameters are set easily and interactively by selecting an item from the menu and then
by opening a window. Fast setup of essential parameters can be done on the Home screen.
・ Consumables not required
Since it is paperless, this recorder does not require the consumables needed by other
recorders, like charts, pens and ink.
・ Easy data management
Older data stored on a CF card can be read and managed using off-the-shelf software like
Excel (a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation).
・ Availability of software package
Data analysis can be executed conveniently on a PC with a dedicated software package,
ARF Data Analysis Tool, sold separately (ARF990DA0000, for Windows).

Additional functions are as follows:
Alarm outputs: Alarm relay outputs
Contact inputs: Digital (non-voltage contact) inputs

Mounting methods
(1) Insert the ARF200 into the panel cutout on the instrument panel.
(2) There are two screw holes, one on the left side and one on the right side of the ARF200. Lightly screw
in the 2 screws provided.
(3) Next, put the hexagon head of the screws inserted above into the round holes of the mounting brackets,
and firmly press the ARF200 against the instrument panel (from the front) while sliding as shown in the
figure. In this state, tighten the mounting screws with the provided wrench or Phillips screwdriver.
Note that the left and right mounting brackets are different. (Installation should be done by two
people.)
Handling Precautions
・
The recommended tightening torque is 1.0 N･m. Tightening the mounting bracket screws to a higher
torque might deform or damage the case.
・ In mounting, the top surface should not be tilted down toward the back more than 20°, and it should
not be tilted up at all. Do not tilt toward the right or left sides.
・ Mount on a panel made of steel plate 2 to 6 mm thick or a panel having equivalent strength.
Slide
• For mounting the recorder on the panel, be careful of injury by dropping it.
Warning
3.3. Wiring Precautions
・
Be sure to turn OFF the power supply before connecting wires to the power or input/output
terminals to prevent an elect r ic shock.
・ Attach crimp terminals to the ends of wires to prevent looseness or disconnection of terminals
and short-circuit between terminals. Use the crimp terminals with an insulating sleeve to prevent
electric shock.
・ Arrange and secure connected wires so that a passing person or object cannot easily be caught
on them. Otherwise disconnection, electric shock, or other problems may occur.
・ To prevent electric shock, connect the protective ground terminal to a ground of less than 100
.
・ To prevent electric shock, attach the terminal cover after wiring.
Handling Precautions
・ Use a single-phase power supply having a stable voltage without any waveform distortion to prevent
malfunction.
・ Do not place the input/output wires close to, or in parallel with, power lines or high-voltage circuits. If
run parallel to each other, keep the I/O wires 50 cm or more apart.
they
・ For thermocouple (TC) inputs, keep the input terminals away f rom a heat source (a heating body) to
reduce a refere
nce junction compensation error. Don’t expose the input terminals to direct sunlight,
etc.
・ Don’t use any unused terminals for relaying; otherwise the electr ic circuits may be damaged.
・ To prevent malfunction, keep all connected wires as far from sources of electrical noise as possible.
Use a counter
measure (see below) if wires are unavoidably close to a noise source.

3.6. Wiring of Measurement Input Terminals
(1) Allowable input voltage
•Thermocouple input (burnout disabled), DC voltage input (±2 V max.): ± 10 Vdc max.
•DC voltage input (±5 to ±50 V): ±60 V max.
•Thermocouple input (burnout enabled), resistance thermometer (RTD) input: ±6 Vdc max.
Handling Precautions
•Use crimp terminals with insulating sleeves on the end of wires connected to the inp ut terminals.
(2) DC voltage (or current) input
For input, use twisted cable made for instrumentation
use, in order to suppress noise. For current input,
connect a shunt resistor between the current input
terminals of that channel before wiring.
(3) Thermocouple (TC) input
Be sure to use thermocouple wire (or compensating leads)
to the input terminals of this recorder. If copper wire is
used part of the way, a significant measuring error will
occur. Avoid connecting a pair of thermocouple wires to
another device (controller, etc.) in parallel because such a
connection may affect the measurement of each device. If a
parallel connection is unavoidable, check whether the
effects are within the allowable range under the following
conditions:
•Set the burnout to disabled.
•Ground the device that you wish to connect in parallel at one point. In addition, install the device near the ARF200 and if possible
use t
he same power supply.
•Do not shut off the power of either device during operation.

Handling Precautions
・ The allowable amount of noise on the measurement input terminals is 30 Vac (or 60 Vdc) or less.
Because of common mode noise and t he l ike, take care that the allowable noise level is not exceede d.
After wiring, attach the terminal cover to prevent electric shock and protect the input wires. Also, the
terminal cover can reduce the reference j unction compensation error for thermocouple input.
Channels are isolated from each other. Note, however, that the C terminals for RTDs are

(2) Wiring
Turn off the power supply and buffer relay power supply before wiring to prevent electric shock.
Connect leads to the load via a buffer relay.
Use leads with crimp terminal lugs (with insulating sleeves).
If a voltage of 30 V
ac/60 Vdc or more is applied to the output terminals, connect the
signal lead by a cable terminated by a round crimp terminal lug (with insulating sleeve).
Also, use double insulation (2300 Vac withstand voltage or more) for signal leads to
which a voltage of 30 Vac/60 Vdc or more is applied, and basic insulation (1390 Vac
withstand voltage or more) for other signal leads. After wiring, be sure to attach the
terminal cover to prevent electric shock.

applied, even momentarily .
• To prevent malfunction caused by a li ght load, the most effective mounting
