Main features and functions
2
Besides measuring temperature and various industrial quantities of multi channels and displaying real
time trends, bar graphs, numeric values, etc. in various formats on 12.1 inch TFT color LCD, this recorder
can store data into the internal memory or a memory card (a CF card) and replay them if required.
Stored data can be used using commercial software like EXCEL, etc.
Easy management

Compliance with
international
standards
Various screen

Various memory
functions
Analog recorder
feeling
Marker function
The monitoring of measurement results is easy since the data are displayed on
various formats of screens. The previous data stored in the CF card can be read
and the stored data can be managed using commercial software like EXCEL
(Registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation), etc.
(Planning to get CE marking compliance)
Real time trends, bar graphs, data (in a table format) and combined displays of
“real time trends and bar graphs”, “real time trends and numeric values” and “real
time trends and historical trends” can be arbitrarily selected and monitored with
most suitable screens to meet your requirements. As alarm display screen
displaying past alarm activation status collectively and a marker list screen are also
available.
In addition, up to 6 groups can be registered. With easy operation, these screens
can be switched and 4 separate screens can be displayed.
Start/stop of data storage can be executed by arbitrary condition settings like key
operation, alarm settings, time settings, etc. and the simultaneous storage to
maximum 6 files can also be executed. In normal operations, data are stored into
the internal memory and can be saved on the CF memory card.
As the trend screen displays data on a chart with scale plates and pointers, the
data can be monitored like an analog recorder.
Markers and marker texts (alphanumeric characters, maximum 30 characters) can
be written on the trend screen. A marker text is written arbitrarily, and also 50 types
of marker texts can be registered in advance and these marker texts can be written
with key operations. The marker texts can be written on the historical trend screen
(replay), too. Markings only without marker texts are also available.
MODBUS
communication
Consumables not
required
Easy setup
Parameter settings, data acquisition and operation can be executed with the optional
high order communication. As the communication protocol utilizes MODBUS, this
recorder can communicate with a program indicator equipped with the MODBUS
protocol without creating any communication software and the configuration of a
system is easy. (MODBUS: The registered trademark of Schneider Electric SA)
Since consumables like charts, pens and inks as used in recorders are not required,
this recorder is clean and less time consuming.
The easy interactive parameter setting offers parameter settings by selecting a
setting item from the menu screen with key or touch-panel operation and then by
opening a window.
Also the operation can be executed easily with the required parameter settings on
the ”Simple settings (HOME)” screen.

5.2 Precautions for connections
pr
Observe the following cautions during connections for securing safety and reliability.
(1) Power supply
Use a single-phase power supply having a stable
voltage without any waveform distortion for the
purpose of preventing wrong operations.
(1) A switch and an overcurrent protective
device
Prepare a switch and an overcurrent protective
device (3A) to the power supply for preventing an
electric shock accident during connection work. This
recorder is not provided with any replaceable fuse.
(2) Turn off the power supply before
connections.
Be sure to turn off the power supply before
connecting cables to the power and the input/output
terminals to
Warning
event an electric shock.
(2) Keep the input/output connections away
from a high voltage power circuit
Don’t place the input/output cables close or in
parallel with any strong power circuits including
power line. Place the cables 50 cm or more away
from high voltage power circuits when they are
placed close or in parallel to other circuits.
(3) Keep the thermocouple input away from
a heat source
For thermocouple inputs, keep the input terminals
away from a heat source (a heating body) to
reduce a reference junction compensation error.
Don’t expose the input terminals to direct sunlight,
etc.
(4) Keep all connection cables away from
noises
Keep all connection cables away from noise source
as far as possible, otherwise unexpected
malfunction may occur. Provide a solution if the
cables cannot be separated from a noise source
due to unavoidable circumstances.
Major
noise
sources
Remedial
measures
Electromagnetic switch, etc.
Power line having waveform distortion
Inverter
Thyristor regulator
Insert noise filters between power
terminals and input/output terminals.
A CR filter is often used.
(5) Use crimp style terminals
(1) Fix crimp style terminals to termination of
connection cables for preventing the looseness
or disconnection of terminals and a short-circuit
failure between terminals.
(2) Use the crimp style terminals with insulation
sleeve for preventing an electric shock.
(6) Unused terminals
Don’t use any unused terminals for relaying;
otherwise the electric circuits may be damaged.
Secure the connected cables properly.
Secure the connected cables so as not to allow them to be hooked by a person or a substance, otherwise the
connections may be cut and disrupted that may cause an electric shock or other accidents.

mark of measuring input terminals
A high voltage may be applied to the measuring input terminals due to common mode noises. The
allowable noise value is lower than 30 V AC or lower than 60 V DC. Make sure that the noises are
lower than the allowable values. Mount the terminal cover after connections for the purpose of
preventing an electric shock and to protect the input wires. In the case of thermocouple input, the
mounting of the terminal cover can reduce the reference junction compensation error.
(3) Connections of thermocouple (TC) inputs
Be sure to use thermocouple wires (or extension
wires) to the input terminals of this recorder. If a
copper wire is used halfway, a noticeable
measuring error occurs. Don’t use a pair of
thermocouple wires in parallel with other
instruments (controller, etc.), otherwise a
malfunction may occur.
