TABLE OF CONTENTS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This instrument is a versatile Solid State Data Recorder / Panel Indicator. It has all the capability of a traditional paper recorder - variable chart speeds, the ability to reviewhistoric data, see trends and more, with a number of specific exceptions - NO PAPER to jam, no ink to smudge and no pens to clog or break. The data is stored in a Compact Flash memory card, which can be easily transported.
Of course it does all the regular functions a lot better, and the data can be transferred directly into reports, spreadsheets or analysis programs. Data can be examined and archived on any Windows XPTMcompatible machine and can be printed out in various formats as required.
This instrument has twouniversal inputs so it can measure voltage, current,thermocouples and RTDs by simply selecting them from the menu. It also has two potential free alarm output contacts and an isolated digital input. The display can be user configured to graphics, digital or a combination. Maximum data storage is 2 Gigabytes. Communication
options include USB and Ethernet ports. Things are done a little differently in a paperless recorder and there are a few new
concepts that you may need to become familiar with. There are more features and functions in this unit than you will probably use. It is recommended that you read this manual in its entirety before attempting to use the instrument.
The balance of this introduction will attempt to introduce some of the more unique features of thispaperless recorder.
1.1 CHART SPEED TO SAMPLE SPEED
A major difference between paper and paperless is SAMPLE SPEED, which is analogous to CHART SPEED in the paper recorder. There is an apparent chart speed, the rate at
which the samples appear to move across the Graphics Display, but unlike paper recorders the display is made up of discrete datapoints, each of which is a distinct sample of thedata being measured. The rate of movement across the screen is thus a direct function of the sample rate. The major factor in deciding what sample rate to select is knowing how much data is enough. In a paper recorder a chart speed of 1 inch per hour is fine for a process that does not vary very quickly but would result in a thick blur if trying to record a 1Hz sine
wave. Unlike a paper recorder, every point recorded by the paperless recorder is uniquely identifiable, no matter how dense it appears on the screen. It is always better to have too much data than to have too little. The only consideration is the amount of space used in the memory card.
To relate chart speed to sample rate we need to consider how we plan to reproduce the data. The graphic LCD display has a density of 70 pixels (data points) per inch; a typical dot matrix printer has 180 pixels per inch and a laser printer 300 pixels per inch. Thus to fill one inch of the display in one hour we need to sample at a rate of 70 samples per hour, a
little over once per minute, however if this is now printed on a laser printer it will fill less than 1/3 of aninch. It is the amount and quality of the data that counts. Another advantage of the paperless recorder is that it can sample internally at 100 samples per second (one every 0.01 seconds). These samples can be averaged or peaks or valleys can be detected andthen this data can be stored at the chosen sample rate.
Trial and experience will yield the best sample speeds for the application. Startwith a faster sampling rate than you think you will need; you can always slow it down in the future. As a rule of thumb, one sample every 10 seconds should give the equivalent information that 1 inch per hour of chart paper would.

1.2 REVIEWING DATA
One of the biggest features of this recorder is its ability to show historic data and trends. The data on the graphics screen can be rewound like a tape recorder, scrolling back in time, displaying past dataon the screen while still recording data in realtime.
The data can also be compressed on screen, showing a whole day or week's worth of recording on one screen, enablingtrends or irregularities to be spotted easily.A data cursor can be moved around the screen to uniquely identify samples in both time and amplitude.
Refer to Section 3 for the specifics on reviewing data.
1.3 ZOOMING AND CONDITIONING DATA
The recorder acquires data with greater resolution than can be displayed on the screen. The user has the ability to ZOOM in to amplify the data either 2 or 4 times, equivalent to
using a magnifying glass on the display. These ZOOM windows can be scrolled up or down to cover the entire data spectrum. The vertical scale automatically adjusts to thezoom level and position to enable resolution of minor changes in input signal.More information.
The recorder also acquires data at a rate faster than what may be displayed on the screen. The user can set the sampling rate from 100 samples per second down to 1 sample every
10 minutes. When sampling slower than 100 samples per second, the recorder can be programmed to record the average, maximum or minimum values. Thus if asample rateof 1 sample per minute is chosen, the recorder will still sample internally at 100 samples per
second while computing the average or detect and store either the maximum (peak) value or minimum (valley) value, depending on the mode programmed. It will then store this value when the minute is up. Unless required otherwise, it is recommended that the average value be used for recording since this will tend to filter or smooth the data. See
Advanced Setup Menu for details.
1.4 CUSTOMIZING
There are many operating features and parameters that the user can program. All settings are stored in nonvolatile memory and are recalled each time the unit is powered on. The display can bescaled toread in engineering units, andthe trace can be labeled accordingly
with up to three alphanumeric characters. Four alarms are fully user programmable and can be associated with either channel or the external input. The Alarm levels can be set in the engineering units of the display, the sense of the alarm, the type and the deadband or hysteresis can be individually set for each alarm. Optional relay outputs can be assigned
independently to each alarm. A reset delay feature is also available. There are other features which may be programmed by the user including the time
stamping mode, either real time or elapsed time, clock update rates, file names, beeper operation etc. (Refer to – Advanced Setup)
1.5 TRIGGERING
The recorder has the ability to change sampling speeds and stop or start recording as a result of a triggered event. This event may be tied to any of the four internal alarms or
optionally to an external signal. This enables the unit to monitor a processwithout recording or to record at a slow speed to conserve card space. When an external event or internal alarm condition occurs, the unit will begin recording or change to a higher sample rate for the data of interest. More Information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Before connecting any power or inputs to the unit, ensure that all signal wires and power cables are at zero voltage. The DC power is applied to the unit via a three-way screw terminal connector. The power supply is supplied with two tinned leads, the positive lead is identified by the RED shroud over the wire. The third connection is for system GROUND. You will require a small flat-head screwdriver. Connect the power
and signal wires accordingly, noting carefully all polarities. Ensure that the unit is properly grounded to a suitableground within the cabinet.
Loosen the screws on the terminal block and insert the exposed conductor cable from the power supply below the screws, under the metal plate. Ensure that the insulation is
flush with the terminal block. If it is too long, remove the cable, trim and reinsert. Tighten the screw to firmly hold the cable. Ensure the ground wire is connected and properly grounded at the other end. If you are not using the supplied wall power supply, follow the same procedure carefully identifying the positive supply line. The unit is protected against reverse polarity but not against substantial overvoltage.
2.3.2 Input Signal Connections The maximum input on any input channel is 25 Volts DC. Voltages
higher than this may permanentlydamage the unit.
Ensure the unit is powered down before connecting any inputs.
There are two universal analog inputs – Channel A and Channel B. Each is programmed independently of the other. Inputs can be voltageor current (50mA max using an external
shunt), thermocouples, RTDs or TTL compatible pulse inputs. Isolation is provided between inputs and the rest of the system. The channelsarenot isolated from each other. Connectiondetailforthe various inputs is shown inFigure 2.4.
