PENS

PENSPENS The blue pen has a longer pen arm and records humidity. The red pen has a shorter arm and records temperature. The pens are offset to allow the red pen to glide under the blue pen. The blue pen indicates the correct time and the red pen precedes it by 3/16 of an inch.

POWER

POWERPOWER The TH6 operates on AC power with an optional 4AA battery backup. Depending on chart rotation selected and model; battery backup will last approximately 3 days.

Note: Alarm will not operate under battery only power.

CALIBRATION

CALIBRATIONCALIBRATION

The R200/R250 Replaceable Sensor was carefully tested and calibrated before being shipped from the factory. For greatest accuracy, we recommend replacing the sensor every 6-12 months (does not include N400 and N450).

When your new Replaceable Sensor arrives, simply turn off the recorder, remove and discard the old sensor, plug in the new one and power the recorder back on. Your recorder will continue to record temperature and humidity without interruption.

USER CALIBRATION

USER CALIBRATIONUSER CALIBRATION If you have an accurate standard to compare against, the Replaceable Sensor calibration can be adjusted at one point. This will not adjust the span and is not as accurate as replacing the Replaceable Sensor with a newly calibrated one.

• Are there good batteries in the Chart Recorder?

• Keep in mind that battery backup varies significantly depending on temperature, pens

movement and chart rotation speed.

• If there was a momentary power outage (Brown out), the unit may not have had enough

time to recognize this and switch to battery mode. (The Chart Recorder may lock up or shut off in this situation) This situation may also occur if the unit is plugged into an outlet that shares the circuit with other machinery that has phase motors or compressors that cycle periodically. As these other machines cycle, they momentarily have a high current draw, therefore drawing from the unit.
