5. Restriction of digital recording/printing function

(1) Data printing requires approximately two minutes. Note that when data printing is executed, the trace printing

stops until the printing is finished.

(2) When the chart speed is set to 251mm/H or more, power-on printing, data printing, list printing, and printing

function for other than time line are disabled.

(3) The trace printing executes dot printing with five seconds interval (standard); however, if time printing is

executed during the trace printing, the dot interval may become longer. The dot interval is extended with the inserted printing. Therefore, this is not abnormal.

(4) Printing is formed with dots of one pin. Therefore, if the power is turned off while characters are being formed,

they cannot be formed correctly. This is not abnormal.

2. Precautions on wiring

Precautions on wiring are described below. Observe them to maintain safety and reliability.

1) Feed power source For the power source for the unit, use the single-phase power source with stable voltage and without waveform strain to prevent malfunctions.

(1) Switch and overcurrent protective device

Add a switch and overcurrent protective device (250V,3A) to the feed power source to prevent an electric shock on wiring. The unit has no replaceable fuse.

(2) Connect after the power source is turned OFF

When performing power and input/output wiring, make sure to turn OFF the feed power source to prevent an electric shock.

2) Separate from strong power circuits For input/output wiring, avoid adjacency or parallel with strong power circuits such as power lines. Separate 50cm or more for adjacency or parallel.

3) Separate thermocouple input from heat sources. To reduce reference junction compensation errors for thermocouple input, especially separate terminals from heat sources (heating body). Also, avoid radiation such as direct sunlight.

4) Separate from noise sources. Separate from noise sources as much as possible. Unexpected troubles may occur. If separation from noise sources is disabled, implement countermeasures.

Main source

Countermeasures

 Electromagnetic switch or others  Power line with distortion of wave  Inverter  Thyristor regulator

Insert noise filters between power source and input/output terminals. CR filters are used in many cases.

Warning

Page 16

- 13 -

5) Use crimping terminals. (1) To prevent looseness or disconnection of terminals and short circuit between terminals, install

crimping terminals to termination of connection cables.

(2) To prevent an electric shock, use crimping terminals with insulation sleeves.

4) Measurement input terminals wiring

1) Measurement input terminal Turn OFF the feed power source before wiring to prevent an electric shock. Install crimping terminals with insulation sleeves to input terminals for wiring.

2) DC voltage (current) input wiring Use instrumentation twisted cables for measures against noise as input cables. For current input, connect the shunt resistor for current input to the channel to be measured before wiring.

3) Thermocouple (TC) input wiring Make sure to wire thermocouple cable (or compensation lead wire) to input terminals of the unit. If a copper conductive wire is connected halfway, big measurement error will be generated. In addition, avoid parallel connection of a pair of thermocouple wires with other instruments (controller or others) that causes troubles.

4) Resistance thermometer (RTD) input wiring To prevent measurement errors, use 3-core cables as the input cable in which lines have the same resistance. In addition, one resistance thermometer cannot be connected in parallel with other instruments (a controller or others).

 mark on measurement input terminals

High voltage may be applied to the measurement input terminals due to common mode noise. Allowable noise value is 30VAC or 60VDC or less. Check that the voltage is equal to or less than the allowable value. Install terminal covers after wiring to prevent an electric shock and protect input cables. For thermocouple input, installing terminal covers reduces reference junction compensation errors.

* N.C terminal is opened on alarm occurrence in opposite way to N.O terminal.

 mark on alarm output terminals

Maximum of 240VAC can be connected to the alarm output terminals of this unit. Basic insulation (dielectric strength 1390V) is carried out between the alarm output

channels, however, from the malfunction etc. 240VAC may be output to each alarm output terminals. Double insulation or reinforced insulation to the outside circuit connected to an alarm output terminal should be set.

A buffer relay power supply is applied to the alarm output terminals after connections and so creates a risk of electric shock if touched. Terminal cover must be mounted after connection. Moreover, safety measures to the outside circuit should be set.

 Implement safety measures.

The alarm output of the unit may generate output failure with wrong operation, failure, abnormal input, or others. Double insulation or reinforced insulation in outside circuit side of all the channels should be set in any system for safety ensuring.

Contact protective element Z installation

 Install the contact protective element which fits the buffer relay.  It is effective to install the element to the coil side of the buffer relay (see the figure

of mechanical relay ‘a’ contact output example) and prevents wrong operation with light load.

Selection of buffer relay

 Coil rating: Contact capacity or less of output terminals  Contact rating: Double of load current or more

In addition, the coil surge absorption element built-in type relay is recommended. If there is no buffer relay which meets the load rating, implement another stage of buffer relay.

Selection of contact protective element

If there is no surge absorption element built-in buffer relay, install this element. The element of C/R (capacitor + resistor) is general. <C/R standard> C: 0.01μF (Rating about 1kv)

R: 100 to 150Ω (Rating about 1W)

* Any of the above settings can be cancelled by pressing the key.

(The setting is cancelled also after around 10 seconds without key operation.)

1) Turning ON/OFF chart recording Recording can be turned ON/OFF by pressing the key → key.

While recording is ON, the “REC” status LED lights up. Recording is not performed while it is OFF, but reading inputs, updating data and calculating alarms are performed. Data printing, list printing and message printing are unavailable.

2) Data printing Currently executing trace printing is interrupted to print numeric values of the latest measurement data as shown in the below example.

Press the key → key to perform data printing. Use the periodic data printing function to perform data printing periodically. This cannot be performed while recording is OFF or keys are locked. Colors used for printing changes every time data printing is executed in the following order: red → black → blue → green → brown → purple (repeated).

Example of data printing

“*** Quit recording? ***” Pressing the key turns recording OFF.

“*** Start Digital data printing? ***” Press the key to start.

“*** Start recording? ***” Pressing the key turns recording ON.

(1) Key operation is unavailable when is shown on the display indicating that keys are locked. (2) When using remote contacts (optional), key operation becomes unavailable when recording is turned OFF by a

remote contact terminal.

Pressing the key → key becomes invalid in some cases

Note

Operation: Operations including measurement continue without being interrupted. Cancel: To stop data printing halfway through, press the key → key. The unit will be put into

3) Chart feed Chart can be fed using the key. While the key is pressed, chart is fed at a speed of 600mm/min. When fast-feeding chart,

recording (dot-printing) is stopped. Feed chart when a measurement target or measurement condition is changed.

4) Aligning time line When operating the unit with a chart speed of multiples of 10 (mm/H), it is advisable to align the time line print with the time scale of chart for easier view of the result. The following shows a bad example.

Time line (print)

Time scale

This is useful only when you use a chart with 10mm-pitch time scale. (1) There is a time line setting mark () on the right side of the chart guide located at the front of the chart

cassette.

Time line setting mark

(2) Align a time scale line with the setting mark () as viewed from the front by pressing the key

(do not align it manually).

(3) It may be a good idea to set a time scale line 1 to 2mm above the setting mark () to perform a fine

adjustment later.

(4) Press the key and turn off the “REC” status LED. (5) Press the key at a desired time <xxh 00min> and turn on the “REC” status LED.

(6) After a few hours, check to see if the time line print is aligned with a time scale line. If the time line print

comes behind a time scale line, press the key briefly and see how it works. If it comes ahead, remove the chart and set it back for a few hours and then try again.

Due to the mechanical nature of the unit, a few millimeters of chart may not be fed. Therefore, we recommend that chart be fed by the key.

Also, for the same reason, use the key to feed when new chart is set.

3. Restrictions on recording

1) Digital recording/printing unavailable at certain chart speeds When chart speed is set to 251mm/H or higher, all digital recordings/printings will not be performed and only trace printing is performed. However, time line printing, power-on printing, data printing and list printing can be performed.

2) Dotting interval Dot printing is performed at intervals of 5sec/point at normal speed, and 2.5sec/point at high speed. To prevent damage to chart caused by overlapping of dots, dotting interval becomes longer as chart speed decreases. The chart speed interlock mode is also available, which performs dot printing depending on the chart speed.

Normal dot printing (approx. 5sec/point)

3) Overlapping of digital recording/printing The following order of priority is used for printing generally when printing positions of different items overlap.

(1) Data printing/list printing > time line printing > periodic data printing > alarm printing = fixed time

printing = message printing

(2) The order of priority for fixed time printing is as follows:

Time line > time = channel number = chart speed = max/min chart record, unit and tag

Examples and special cases are described below.

Case 1: Data printing/list printing occurs while recording/printing.

Currently executing printing process is interrupted to execute data printing/list printing. Note: Printing characters will be split due to the interruption.

Case 2: Time line/time printing occurs while periodic data printing is in progress.

Only time line is printed. Time is not printed.

Case 3: Fixed time printing occurs when periodic data printing has short intervals.

The intervals of fixed time printing may be extended, or the printing itself may not be performed.

Case 4: Alarm printing overlaps with max/min chart record, unit and tag.

The max chart record and unit are replaced by alarm print.

8. Setting Method

8-1. Basic Rules

The following provides general information on setting operations.

Pressing the key can return to the measured value display from any window.

1. Setting items and parameters

The unit offers various condition settings to allow users to obtain various recording results and data. Major items of measuring/recording conditions, such as range, scale and chart speed, are called “setting items”,

whereas detailed items of each setting item are called “setting parameters” or just “parameters”.

2. Selecting setting item

Press the key on the measured value display. A list of setting items will be displayed. Use the keys to select a setting item and press the key to confirm your

selection. Some setting items may use hierarchical display.

3. Selecting setting parameter

Select a setting parameter of a setting item. A cursor is displayed at the left of each parameter. Move the cursor to a desired parameter using the

keys.

4. Key acceptance and acceptance failure

When the cursor does not move by pressing the keys or when a parameter setting window does not open by pressing the key, it indicates that the keys have been unaccepted. Make sure to

press the keys properly and try again.

5. Number of setting items and parameters

Setting items vary depending on the use of option. Also, the number of setting parameters differs by setting item. The items like time and chart speed have a single parameter whereas the items like range, scale and alarm have multiple parameters requiring channel specification. Only the parameters necessary for the current setting become available for entry. Unnecessary parameters are replaced by “*” mark and the cursor does not move to them.

6. Checking setting parameters

There are two ways to check setting parameters: “list printing” and “display check”, the former prints all or specified setting items and the latter calls up parameters on the display.

Page 42

- 39 -

7. Changing settings

To change settings, move the cursor () located at the left of a setting parameter to the parameter to be set (changed). When the target parameter is selected by pressing the key, the set value will be highlighted

and become settable. Each setting item generally uses the combination of four types of setting described below.

A parameter value is selected from options. Use the ▲/▼ keys to select a desired value from options.

A parameter is set to an arbitrary value.

s to move the digit, and the ▲/▼

keys to set number or select + or -.

Note: For parameters requiring setting of decimals, a box

indicating decimal point position appears at the right side when they become settable. Change the number in the box to change the decimal point position. Some parameters show the box only for reference.

Whether or not to use the parameter is set. Pressing the key checks/unchecks the

check box.

A parameter is set to an arbitrary character string.

Select an insert position or character with the ▲/▼/

/ keys and press the key to enter. When all the desired characters are entered, move the cursor to Set located at the far right of the window

and press the key to register. Use the ▲/▼ keys to move to the parameter entry and character selection areas. Use the keys to select an insert or change position while “•” is displayed at the left of the parameter entry area. When you enter a character string exceeding the valid number of digits, the last digit will be deleted.

Note: Pressing the key switches the entry mode:

alphabets, numbers, symbols and katakana. (The mode to be switched depends on the parameter.)

When the key is pressed after setting (changing) a parameter value, the cursor moves to the next parameter. When all the necessary settings for each item are completed, move the cursor to Set at the bottom

and press the key to register. After that, the previous window will be displayed. At this time, if any error is detected in the settings, “Invalid setting” will be displayed and the current window will not change.

The following table is a list of setting items displayed by pressing the key (with full options). Some models cannot set certain items, and such items are replaced by “*” mark. Items in field will be displayed when “Rec Adj” and “Inp Adj” are enabled according to “8-27. System Settings”. Items in the same column are related to each other. Items in field are required items.

8-2. Input Type Settings “Range”

Parameters including range, RJ (internal/external switching of reference junction compensation), scale and unit can be set collectively for each channel.

1. Parameters

1) Input Set the input type (INPUT), range (RANGE-L/H) and RJ internal/external (RJ) in accordance with the sensor to be connected (thermocouple or resistance thermometer) and the target measuring range.

2) Burnout If a sensor (thermocouple or resistance thermometer) or input cable is disconnected, chart recording jumps to the upper (UP) or lower (DOWN) limit. This can be reflected to the display or output.

3) Scale Set the scale used for display or recording of actual input after setting input type (INPUT) and range (RANGE-L/H). Scale setting (SCALE) is required when displaying/recording a voltage input from a converter with an arbitrary scale. In this case, the scale should use arbitrary scale factor of the voltage input. For thermocouple or resistance thermometer input, only the position of decimal point can be specified.

4) Chart recording range Set the recording range of chart. Specify 0% position of chart with REC-L and 100% position with REC-H.

5) Sensor correction Measurement value is offset by the specified value. Use this function to adjust the zero point.

6) Unit Arbitrary characters can be set as unit. However, when numeric characters are set, you may find it difficult to distinguish the unit from measured data at data printing. Up to six digits can be set, and upper two digits are printed only at digital printing.

Unit is set to “01”. Measured data is “291.3” in this case.

7) Tag Tag name can be attached to each channel data.

8) Display, trace printing (dot printing), digital recording/printing, SD card recording ON/OFF Select ON or OFF for each display/recording.

Connecting a thermocouple in parallel with another instrument may cause a trouble. If it has to be done, make sure to select “None” for burnout. Please note that the recording accuracy is not guaranteed in this case.

Set “None” for parallel operation

Note

Up to five digits (six digits when including a minus sign) can be set for the upper/lower limit of range, scale and chart recording. For numeric value settings with a decimal fraction, the lower/upper range should be -30000 to 30000 and the lower/upper scale and chart recording should be -30000 to 99999 with decimals excluded.

Valid number of digits

menu window (list of setting items).

(2) Select “Range”.

(Set contents of all channels will be displayed.)

(3) Move the cursor to the target CH with the

▲/▼ keys and press the key. The cursor does not move to parameters other than CH. Pressing the key on this window displays the copy window for input type settings. (See the next page for “Copying settings”.)

(4) Move the cursor to a parameter to be set

with the ▲/▼/ keys.

(5) Press the key to make it available

for setting and then select or enter a value.

(6) After completing the settings of this item,

move the cursor to Set .

(7) Press the key to register the

settings (when chart recording is ON, a setting change mark is printed). To cancel the settings, press the key.

Note: Actual windows are separated. Use the ▲/▼ keys to

scroll and continue settings.

CH NO. is fixed to the one selected from the list of set contents. The input type, RJ, burnout and ON/OFF of each display/recording are set by selecting a value from options with the ▲/▼ keys. The upper/lower limit of range, scale and chart recording, and sensor correction are set by selecting a numeric value at each digit with the ▲/▼ keys. The unit and tag are set by selecting arbitrary characters on the window.

3. Copying settings

Pressing the key on the list of set contents displays the copy window for channel settings. Move the cursor to the item you want to copy w

Press the key to check the check box of desired item.

After selecting items to be copied, specify the source and destination. Move the cursor to the source (Src.CH) and select CH with the ▲/▼ keys (forward/reverse) and then press the key to register. When the cursor moves to the destination (Dest.CH), select CH likewise. Settings can be copied to specified channels collectively. When the destination setting is completed, move the cursor to Copy and press the key to start copying.

4. Shortcut for input type settings

Only for input type settings, a setting window of each channel can be displayed from the measured value display window. While using the 1-point, 1-point + bar, or 6-point display mode, highlight the channel number you want to set

key. For the case of 1-point display, pressing the key brings

the parameter setting window of the displayed channel.

* Copy function is unavailable on a setting window displayed using shortcut.

8-3. Alarm Settings “Alarm”

Various alarm points can be set for measured value of each channel. Up to four alarm points per channel can be set and the type of alarm (upper/lower, diff upper/lower, or rate-of-change upper/lower) can be set to each alarm point arbitrarily. Using the alarm settings, alarm printing, alarm display, status LED indication and relay output can be performed. Alarm output (relay output) provides up to 6 points when option is used.

1. Display and print at alarm activation/reset

When alarm is activated, the “ALM” status LED and measured value of the channel generating the alarm will start flashing.

Pressing the key displays details of the alarm and a list of active alarms. Also, “alarm type”, “alarm level” and “alarm activation time” of the alarm generating channel are printed at the far right of chart, and “alarm level” and “alarm reset time” are printed when the alarm is reset. The maximum number of printing tasks of alarm activation/reset held by the unit is 48. Further printing tasks of alarm activation/reset cannot be accumulated. When 48 is exceeded, ▲mark is printed right at the level.

Reset

(1) Time (2) CH (3) – (hyphen) (4) Level

Activated

(1) Time (2) CH (3) Alarm type (4) Level

2. Alarm setting parameters

The alarm function does not work initially since it is not set prior to shipment.

1) Alarm point (alarm type and alarm value) Alarm type (upper/lower, diff upper/lower or rate-of-change upper/lower) and alarm point can be set for up to four levels per channel at arbitrary points.

2) Alarm deadband Alarm is activated when a measured value reaches an alarm value (see right figure). Alarm reset point can be set at a point toward the normal range, and the area between the alarm activation and reset points is called alarm deadband. The setting range is the same as the scale setting.

3) Compared CH (for diff upper/lower alarm only) Specify a comparison target CH when using diff upper/lower alarm.

4) Reference period (for rate-of-change upper/lower alarm only) Specify a period for comparing the amount of change. (See the next section for alarm type.)

5) Delay Output delay time (Delay) can be set for each channel and level. Alarm is activated when a specified delay time passes after alarm condition is detected. If the alarm condition is cleared during the delay period, alarm will not be activated.

Example:

Lower alarm

6) Output Alarm condition (activation/reset) at each alarm point is output from the relay of the specified No. (alarm output terminal No.). This output is not performed initially because it is set to “-“ prior to shipment. Output relay can be specified arbitrarily for each channel and level (from No.1 to 6 relay: optional). When “99” is specified, internal circuit output can be performed instead of relay output. The internal ON/OFF signal can be used as a trigger for SD card recording or mail sending (optional).

7) Output mode (AND/OR) Select the circuit type (AND/OR) for output. Multiple alarm points can be assigned to one relay No.

AND output: .... Relay turns ON when all the assigned

alarm points generate alarm.

OR output: ...... Relay turns ON when any of the

assigned alarm points generates alarm.

8) Holding/not holding conditions of measured value display, status LED and relay output at alarm activation When alarm is activated, the measured value and “ALM” start flashing. When the alarm is reset, the measured value stops flashing and “ALM” is turned off (they keep flashing when alarm display and relay output is held). You can stop flashing of measured value and status LED from the alarm status check window if the alarm has been reset. When remote contact is selected as a reset method, specify the remote contact No. which executes a reset (Hold-EX).

Not Hold Hold: Reset by KEY Hold: Reset by EX

Select a reset method (key operation or remote contact).

6. Checking alarm status

You can check if alarm is activated on the measured value display window which is normally displayed. However, to check the detail of activated alarm (alarm type, level, etc.), press the key on the measured value display

window to open the alarm status check window. The alarm status check window consists of the alarm status check window per channel, calendar timer ON/OFF

check window and fail output status check window. Use the keys to switch the window.

• Alarm status check window per channel Select the channel you want to check. The cursor does not move to parameters other than CH.

The current alarm status is listed on the window. For a channel to which the alarm output and display are set to “Hold”, information during alarm activation (measured value and alarm type) is displayed even after the alarm condition is cleared. At this time, “Hold” is shown on the window. When alarm condition is cleared on the channel selecting “Hold” for alarm output and display and “KEY” as a reset method (Hold:Reset by KEY), select the channel with the ▲/▼ keys and press the key to reset the Hold status. This alarm status check window contains the information obtained at the time the key is pressed on the

measured value display window. To view the latest information, press the key on the alarm status check window.

8-4. Calculation Settings “Calc”

Configure calculation settings to perform arbitrary calculation for each individual channel. Each calculation is performed at the same intervals as input. Data (including communications input) is processed according to the calculation settings except when the "calculation type (Kind)" is set to “None”. The processed data is displayed/recorded as each channel data. Also, alarm judgment is made on the processed data. There are 15 types of calculation including “None”. When you select “Formula” or “BrokenLine”, you need to set corresponding parameters described in “8-5. Formula Settings” or “8-6. Broken Line Approximation Table Settings”.

2. Channels specifying calculation

For channels specifying calculation, data after processing the specified calculation is recorded or displayed.

3. Calculating max/min/avg value

1) Calculation reset Calculation is reset automatically at specified intervals. Therefore the maximum, minimum and average values are calculated in each interval.

2) Start time of calculation This is valid for the first calculation after setting only. Calculation is not performed and waited until start time. The calculated data during this waiting period is invalid.

4. Integration

Integration operation can be processed on measured value of each channel and the result can be displayed/recorded. For a channel No. selecting integration, an alarm value is set for calculated (integrated) value.

The data (calculation result) of a calculation set channel is obtained using the following formula.

1) Resetting integration

(1) Reset by remote contact

When using remote contacts (optional), a start and reset of integration can be executed with an remote contact signal. When a calculation is started by an remote contact reset, integration value will be reset at set intervals. (See “13-1. External Operation Settings”.)

(2) Reset after specified interval

After integration operation is started, the integration value is reset automatically after a specified interval and then the operation is restarted.

2) Max integration value The maximum integration value is 99999 (it actually depends on the decimal point position of result: 99.999 to 99999). If integration value exceeds the maximum value, it will be reset to 0 and the integration operation continues.

2. Integration

The ITG or ITG24 function is used to perform integration operation. The integration function cannot be used more than once in a formula. Ignoring this causes erroneous calculation. Combining with another type of calculation is possible.

Example: ITG(1) + ITG(2) ITG24(1) – ITG(1) ITG(1) / 100

Integration value is reset at every start time and interval specified in "calculation settings" for ITG function, and at every start time for ITG24 function.

(“Channel 1 raw data” x 3 - 20) ÷ 6

 (CH(1) + CH(2)) << 300

Result will be 1 when the sum of channel 1 and channel 2 raw data is smaller than 300.

 ABS(CH(1)) >= 50

Result will be 1 when the absolute value of channel 1 is greater than or equal to 50.

 (PCH(1) >= 100) AND (PCH(2) <= 50)

Result will be 1 when the channel 1 data is greater than or equal to 100, and the channel 2 data is less than or equal to 50.

Following functions cannot be combined together. Combining these functions causes calculation error.

8-9. Subtract Printing Settings “Sub Prt”

Subtract printing can be set using either of the following method: (1) use channel C data as difference between channel A and channel B, or (2) use channel E data as difference between channel D and a reference value. Channels used for subtract printing are also used for normal measurement. Therefore, channel 1 to 6 can be used for subtract printing.

* For the case of type (1) above, the decimal point position depends on the channel data of minuend.

1. Setting chart recording range

Make sure to perform input type settings described in “8-2. Input Type Settings” before performing subtract printing (see ).

“Difference value” is recorded as channel C or E data in subtract printing. Therefore, the chart recording range for subtract printing is required and it is set by specifying the upper and lower limits. Also, unit is set when needed. It is necessary to estimate “difference value” beforehand to set the chart recording range.

8-17. Auto Range Settings “A.Range”

When “Auto Range” is selected for recording format, set the related items. There are two types of automatic range-shift: “Normal” and “Overlap”, the former has separate ranges and the latter has ranges overlapping each other partially around the lower/upper limit. Chart recording range is switched between five ranges at maximum for “Normal” or three ranges at maximum for “Overlap” depending on the measured value. To switch from “Normal” to “Overlap” or vice versa, you need to

reset the related items.

• Individual setting available for channels.

• Recording range can be set arbitrarily regardless of the setting of range/chart recording upper and lower limits.

• When a measured value is near a range-shift point, chattering of recording at 0% or 100% position may occur. To

prevent this, a range-shift is performed at the point where a measured value exceeds the lower (zero) or higher (span) limit of each range by 0.5mm.

• You can use a copy function for the setting. However, note that the decimal point position depends on the value at destination even if the source value has different decimal point position. Example: Source value “120.3”, value at destination “20.05” → value after copy “12.03”

8-20. SD Card “SD CARD”

Measured data can be stored on an SD card at arbitrarily specified time and interval (6-point input: 1sec at maximum). Also, measurement/recording conditions including range, scale and chart speed can be stored on an SD card, and the stored data can be used to set up the instrument when needed. SD card is an accessory part (sold separately). Use one provided by CHINO.

1. Attaching/removing SD card

Insert an SD card with the label facing down into the insertion slot located at the front section of internal unit.

When an SD card is inserted, the “CARD” status LED in the operation/set keys section flashes in green, and an error check is performed automatically. When the card is successfully recognized, the status LED stops flashing and stays on.

To remove an SD card, you must take the steps for proper removal.

(See “8-20.7. Removing SD card”.) SD card can be removed from the slot by pressing it inward and releasing it with you finger.

2. Operation

There are three types of SD card operation menu: Recording data-Saving (settings related to measured data save), Setting Parameter (saving/loading setting parameters) and SD Card (removal/maintenance). When a recording to SD card starts, the status on the display turns from “SD” to “R”.

3. Handling

Observe the following warnings and cautions to use SD card safely and prevent loss or damage to your property.

 Never disassemble or modify SD card. It may result in fire, electric shock or

malfunction.

 Do not use SD card in a location where it may get wet or condensation occurs. The

internal circuit of SD card may be damaged in such a location.

 Do not handle (attach/remove) SD card near small children to avoid accidental

ingestion or other dangerous situations.

 Do not store SD card in a location exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature,

high humidity or too much dust. It may degrade the quality by distortion or warping.

 Do not apply strong impact by dropping, hitting or bending it. It may distort and

damage SD card.

 Store SD card with care not to allow dust to enter the connector.  To protect the internal circuit from static electricity, do not touch the connector

(terminal) with your hand or a metal object.

Warning

Caution

 Do not remove SD card or turn off the power while the “CARD” status LED is lit.  SD card has been formatted to FAT prior to shipment (SD card is an optional device).  Execution of format deletes all the stored data. Check the data before starting format.  While SD card is being accessed, never remove the SD card or turn off the unit connecting the SD

card. Otherwise, the data of SD card may be destroyed or the unit itself may be damaged.

 Please note that CHINO holds no responsibilities for losses resulting from damage or data loss of SD

card.

 Use SD card with 2GB or less memory and format to FAT16. Use CHINO’s SD card sold separately.

9-3. Input Shift Adjustment

The amount of shift (parallel shift) for input (measurement) data can be adjusted. This adjustment is intended mainly to correct variance in sensor or input converter. The adjustment can be performed for each channel. There are two types of setting as described below.

1. Set shift value in input type settings

After setting, measured value will be shifted by the specified amount. (See “8-2. Input Type Settings”.)

Example of shift setting Shift a measured value 850.3 to a set value 850.0 (850.0 - 850.3 = -0.3).

(1) Display the input type settings window

shown on the left, and enter “-0.3” to the SHIFT entry field.

(2) After completing the setting, move the

cursor to Set .

(3) Press the key to register the

setting. To cancel the setting, press the

key.

2. Set shift value with “Inp Adj” described in the previous section

(See “9-2. Input Adjustment”.)

(1) Display the input adjustment window

shown on the left, and enter “1” to the A parameter entry field and a shift value to the B parameter entry field.

If an input adjustment has already been

performed and values have been specified in the A and B fields, add a shift value to the B parameter.

(2) After completing the setting, move the

cursor to Set .

(3) Press the key to register the setting.

To cancel the setting, press the key.

When shift value is set on the input type settings window and also on the input adjustment window, the actual shift value will be the sum of the two set values.

Double setting

Note 1

To set a shift value using the input adjustment described in the previous page, the SHIFT on the input type settings window should be set to “0”.

9-4. Wiring and Environment for Input Adjustment

1. Preparation

(1) Turn OFF the power switch and perform the wiring depending on the input signal (see the figure below).

Connect to the input terminal of the adjustment target channel. (2) Attach the terminal cover. (3) Turn ON the power switch and select the 1-point simultaneous display mode. (4) Display the adjustment target channel. (5) Energize the unit for at least 30 minutes (an hour or more is ideal) and then perform an adjustment.

2. How to adjust

(1) Set a tester (standard DC voltage generator or precision variable resistor) to an input value equivalent to the

adjustment target value. (2) At this time, read the digital display and check if the error is within the specified accuracy range. (3) Next, change to the adjustment target channel and adjust it likewise. (4) Adjust also the analog indication/dot printing position.

* The accuracy of the unit is rated at an ambient temperature of 23°C ±2°C. Ensure safety of the

surrounding environment.

* When using the shift adjustment function to adjust measured value, the shifted value should be taken into

account.

* When you change the wiring with the terminal cover removed, energize the unit for at least 30 minutes

after attaching the terminal cover and then perform adjustment.

The accuracy of the unit is ±0.1%. Therefore, you need to use a tester having higher degree of accuracy to perform proper adjustment. Also, attention should be paid to the thermocouple error. Note that a tester requires time to be stabilized to ensure its accuracy and stability.

Tester accuracy

Note 1

Make sure that the reference junction temperature is 0°C. When using an electronic reference junction compensator, read its instruction manual. Also, the compensation accuracy should be checked.
