METROLOGY

The meteorological conditions of your measurement instrument are defined in the specifications of this notice. Climate and environmental conditions restrict the specifications of your recorder. SEFRAM checks the characteristics of each appliance one by one on an automatic bench during its manufacture. The adjustment and control are guaranteed under conditions of the ISO9001 certification by facilities in connection with the COFRAC (or equivalent in the context of ILAC reciprocity). The specified characteristics are considered stable for a period of 12 months from the first use under normal conditions of use. We recommend a check after 12 months and max. 24 months of use, then every 12 months after 24 months. For any check of the characteristics, the following average climate conditions shall be maintained (23°C+3°C – 50(+20)%RH). The recorder should have been working for 0,5 hour before check.

We recommend that you have this control made by our after-sales service (Service Après-Vente) for the best service and preservation of the measuring quality of your instrument. When a recorder returns to SEFRAM, maximum service is provided with internal updating according to the required adjustments and software updates. In case of shift in the characteristics, your instrument shall be adjusted to recover its original characteristics.

2.1. GENERAL

The 8460/DAS1600/ DAS800 and DAS801 are programmable recorders that allow to measure and record voltages, intensities, temperatures etc.... as

well as on 16 logic channels.

The DAS1600 can be configured with 6 boards maximum (72 channels max), universal isolated or isolated strain gauge, or non-isolated multiplexed. The DAS800 has not an integrated thermal printer and possesses just 1 board. The 8460 can be configured with 3 boards maximum.

You have 3 available types of inputs:

- isolated universal inputs through 6-channel module, up to 6 modules

- non-isolated differential inputs, multiplexed through 12-channel module, up to 6 modules

- isolated strain gauge through 6-channel modules

- 1000 V inputs through 6-channels modules

Several work modes are available:

- a Memory mode for acquisition on internal fast memory

- a File mode for acquisition on an internal hard drive or USB stick

- a Template mode for acquisition on a pre-recorded template

- a Circuit Analysis mode to make measurements on the circuit

Only the File mode is available for the DAS801.

The "operator-recorder" dialog is made easier thanks to very clear menus on a wide LCD screen. The measurement parameters can be easily configured: you can do it with the keyboard on the touch screen, with a stylus or with a mouse and an external keyboard. The recorders can be fully programmed through Ethernet link.

A bad unreeling of the paper may be harmful for the motor and the thermal print head. So install it very carefully.

The recorder must always have paper in it because the thermal print head is damaged by a prolonged direct contact with the roller.

3.1. 8460 Installation of record paper

The thermal paper required to 8460 is delivered with a sharpened end to make its installation easier. In a case of used roller, it is recommended to give it again this shape.

NOTE: only one face of the paper is sensitive in a thermal way. Reversing during the installation will result in the absence of any writing. Actions to perform:

- Tip the gate towards you

- Introduce the paper axle in the roller

- Put the paper axle set and the roller at the bottom of the tray. The “no of ref” inscription must be on the left.

- Introduce the paper tip in the crack noticed on the stainless steel tray.

- Get back the paper by the tip above the feed roller, below the small ruler that cuts the paper.

- Pull the paper of few centimeters to place it in a good way.

- Close the table
