4. WIRING

4.1Before doing the wiring

To carry out wiring, remove the unit's rear cover (Notes)

When wiring the power supply unit, use vinyl-insulated 600V cables (JIS C 3307) or equivalent cables.

For thermocouple input, be sure to use a compensated lead wire.

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.

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 sleeveinsulated clamping terminals (for M4 screws) is recom-

mended.

The recorder is not provided with a power fuse. Use an external power fuse.

. In case the power supply is 100 to 240V AC

Recommended fuse rating : T2A, 250V AC

CAUTION . In case the power supply is 24V DC

Recommended fuse rating : Maximum 3A, minimum 24V DC

Mount the paper feed unit in the recorder. At this time, check that it is properly locked in position.

Press the FEED key and check that the chart paper is fed out smoothly.

(Feed out about 2 folds of paper.)

<If the paper is not fed out smoothly, go through the procedure from Step 2 again.>

Note 1 Selection of chart paper

The chart paper greatly affects the quality of the printed recording and it is also related to problems such as paper jamming, etc.

Please be sure to use the pure-quality chart paper specified us.

Chart paper type : PEX00DL1-5000B (50 equal divisions, no time lines)

Note 2 Use of the recorder after it has been left unused for a long time

If the recorder is left unused for a long time with chart paper still in the main unit, the paper 'packs down' and if the recorder is used straightway there can be problems of paper jamming, etc.

If you use the equipment after it has been left unused for a long time, first press the FEED key to feed out 2 to 3 folds of the paper.

Reference 1 Chart paper length

The chart paper is approximately 15m long. This permits about 31 days continuous print-out at a paper feed speed of 20mm/h.

Reference 2 Chart paper end mark

The amount of chart paper remaining is indicated by digits (units : 10cm) on the right-hand side of the paper. When there is only a small amount left, red letters appear on the right-hand edge.

If the recording paper runs out completely, a recording paper end indicator displays 'Chart end' in the display section and recording automatically stops.

5.2Recording head installation (replacement)

The recording head is a combination of a head and ink.

When ink is used out or trouble arises with the head, it can easily be replaced.

Use the recording head carefully observing the “Caution” noted in the later paragraph.

Step 1	Get the recording head ready by taking it out of its
	aluminium pack.

Step 2

Tear the tape.

Open the cap by turning it in the direction indicated by the arrow.

(If the head is not going to be used for a long time, close the cap back in its original position.)

The cap is integral with the head unit. Turn it about 180° until it stops against the top of the head.

Step 3	• Lightly press the nozzle surface (the surface from
	which ink is discharge). Make sure that the cloth
	is properly impregnated with the 4 colors blue,
	red, yellow and black.
	First press the cloth against the surface for 2 to
	3 second; if the 4 colors ooze out, it is OK.
	Note) Do not use any cloth other than the supplied
	one. Also, do not rub the nozzle with the
	cloth.
How to close the cap

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)

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.

Hold the recording head with turning the nozzle surface downward and push the side strong till spilling two drops.

Absorb the standing ink on the nozzle surface with the cloth attached.

Hold the cloth to the nozzle surface again to find all colours flowed onto cloth.

When ink does not come out, repeat the above operation ( through ).

*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.)
