4. WIRING
4.1 Before doing the wiring
To carry out wiring, remove the unit's rear cover (Notes)
① When wiring the power supply unit, use vinyl-insulated 600V cables (JIS C 3307) or equivalent
cables.
② For thermocouple input, be sure to use a compensated lead wire.
③ Input signal cables should be wired separately as far as possible (30cm or more) from power lines
and high-voltage lines to minimize the effect of inductive noise. Shielded cables should preferably
be used. In this case, the shield braids should be earthed at one point.
④ For wiring the terminals, use a maximum of 2 crimp style terminals.
Notes
(1) At the completion of wiring of the input terminals, be sure
to close the rear cover to ensure the compensation of reference contact when thermocouple input is used.
(2) For connection of lead wires to terminals, use of sleeve-
insulated clamping terminals (for M4 screws) is recommended.
CAUTION
The recorder is not provided with a power fuse.
Use an external power fuse.

Step 8
The above completes installation of the recording head.
The recording head is a consumable part. Replace it with a new one when the ink it contains is
used up.
• Set the paper feed unit in its original position.
Recording head replacement
Draw out the recording head in the manner that is opposite to what is described in Step 6 of the
recording head setting procedure, and replace it with a new recording head.
Always carry out the following procedure after replacing a recording head.
(1) Setting the ink monitor

(3) Adjustment of analog trend recording positions
Referring to Section 9.2, readjust the zero and span on the recording paper.
5 - 7INP-TN3PHCV-E
Precautions in handling recording heads
Note 1 If recording is halted and the recorder is not used for a long time
Carry out the following in order to prevent jamming and drying-up of the ink.
Remove the recording head from the main unit, make absolutely sure the cap is closed properly and store the head in a cool, dark place (average temperature 5 to 30°C).
If the head is left installed in the recorder:
Do not switch off the power to the recorder and do not close the cap.
* Periodically, there is an automatic discharge of ink to prevent drying-up.
Leave the recording paper in place in the recorder.
If it is not possible to keep the power switched on, make sure that the cap is closed.
Draw out the paper feed unit using the recording head setting method Step 4 and Step 5 .
Open the indicator and tighten the cap.
Note 2 At the start of use of a recording head
If you are starting to use a new recording head or if the recorder has been left unused for a long time,
always wipe the head's nozzle surface lightly with the accessory cloth and check that the 4 colours
black, blue, red and yellow ooze out properly into the cloth. (See Section 5.2.)
Also, after normal recording is possible. See Section 6.3 for the way of printing out a test pattern.
When the working environment is 15°C or less, perform print-out of "test pattern" after period of several minutes has elapsed since the recording head was mounted. (The recording head has a built-in
heater.)
Note 3 Handling recording heads
•Do not knock or shake recording heads as this can cause faults.
• The inks are not harmful but they are very difficult to remove if they adhere to the skin or to clothes,
so handle heads carefully in order to avoid staining. Also, do not disassemble them.
• If, by accident, it happens that ink gets into your eyes, wash thoroughly with water as an emergency
measure and then immediately consult a specialist doctor.
• When the ink is used out, dispose of its recording head as incombustible object.
• This product is intended to be used where are not dusty.
• Be sure to start to use the product soon after opening package. (Be sure to finish using this within 1
year after opening)
5 - 8 INP-TN3PHCV-E
Note 4 Storage of recording heads
• When they are delivered, recording heads are in aluminium packs.
If you are not going to use a head straight-away, leave it sealed and store it in a cool, dark place with
an average temperature of 5 to 30°C.
• Storage period: 1year and half after purchased
Note 5 Shipping of recording head
• Do not ship the unit recording head after the aluminum pack was opened up. If it is necessary to ship
the unit recording head under avoidable circumstances, be sure to close the cap, and ship it as contained in a boxboard in the state where vibration and impack are eased using cushioning materials.
• Always close the cap if you are transporting a head while it is still installed in the recorder main unit.
Note 6 If the ink is not sprayed.
①Hold the recording head with turning the nozzle surface
downward and push the side strong till spilling two drops.
②Absorb the standing ink on the nozzle surface with the cloth
attached.
③Hold the cloth to the nozzle surface again to find all colours
flowed onto cloth.
When ink does not come out, repeat the above operation
( ① through ③ ).
* When working environment is 15°C or less, perform
print-out of "record" or "test pattern" after a period or
several minutes has elapsed since the recording head was
mounted. (The recording head has a built-in heater.)
Reference Ink consumption
