SAFETY NOTES
WARNING
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside the apparatus, or disconnection of the protective
earth terminal is likely to make the apparatus dangerous under some fault conditions. Intentional interruption
is prohibited.
Note: in order to comply with the requirements of safety standard BS EN61010, the recorder shall have one
of the following as a disconnecting device, fitted within easy reach of the operator, and labelled as the disconnecting device.
a. A switch or circuit breaker which complies with the requirements of IEC947-1 and IEC947-3
b. A separable coupler which can be disconnected without the use of a tool
c. A separable plug, without a locking device, to mate with a socket outlet in the building.
1. Before any other connection is made, the protective earth terminal shall be connected to a protective conductor.
The mains (supply voltage) wiring must be terminated within the connector in such a way that, should it slip in
the cable clamp, the Earth wire would be the last wire to become disconnected.
2. In the case of portable equipment, the protective earth terminal must remain connected (even if the recorder is
isolated from the mains supply), if any of the I/O circuits are connected to hazardous voltages*.
3. The mains supply fuse within the power supply is not replaceable. If it is suspected that the fuse is faulty, the
manufacturer's local service centre should be contacted for advice.
4. Whenever it is likely that protection has been impaired, the unit shall be made inoperative, and secured against
accidental operation. The manufacturer's nearest service centre should be contacted for advice.
5. Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened apparatus under voltage, should be avoided as far as possible and, if inevitable, shall be carried out only by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.
6. Where conductive pollution (e.g. condensation, carbon dust) is likely, adequate air conditioning/filtering/sealing
etc. must be installed in the recorder enclosure.
7. Signal and supply voltage wiring should be kept separate from one another. Where this is impractical, shielded
cables should be used for the signal wiring.
8. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
might be impaired.
* A full definition of 'Hazardous' voltages appears under 'Hazardous live' in BS EN61010. Briefly, under normal operating conditions, hazardous voltages are defined as being > 30V RMS (42.2V peak) or > 60V dc.
SYMBOLS USED ON THE RECORDER LABELLING
One or more of the symbols below may appear as a part of the recorder labelling.

USER GUIDE
1 INTRODUCTION
This document describes the installation, operation and configuration of a paperless graphic recorder. The recorder
comes in two versions, which differ in physical size, and in the number of I/O channels and options available, but otherwise are identical (i.e. the operation and configuration procedures are the same for both).
The standard recorder comes equipped for FTP transfer and is also fitted with 'Bridge' (Remote viewing) software.
1.1 UNPACKING THE RECORDER
The recorder is despatched in a special pack, designed to give adequate protection during transit. Should the outer box
show signs of damage, it should be opened immediately, and the recorder examined. If there is evidence of damage,
the instrument should not be operated and the local representative contacted for instructions. After the recorder has
been removed from its packing, the packing should be examined to ensure that all accessories and documentation have
been removed. The packing should then be stored against future transport requirements.
2 INSTALLATION
2.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Figures 2.1a and 2.1b give installation details for the small and large frame cases respectively.
Note: It is recommended that the rear face of the panel be centre-punched at suitable positions to locate the tips
of the case clamps. Otherwise, particularly on smooth surfaces, the clamps can 'wander' as they are tightened,
leading to inefficient clamping and possible damage to the recorder mounting slots.
The unit is inserted through the panel aperture from the front of the panel. With the weight of the recorder supported, a
panel clamp is inserted into each of the mounting slots (one each on the left- and right-hand sides). The jacking screws
are then tightened sufficiently to clamp the recorder into position. EXCESS FORCE SHOULD NOT BE USED IN
TIGHTENING THESE SCREWS.

WARNING
DC supply voltages must never be applied to recorders fitted with isolated transmitter power supplies.
Note: The minimum recommended wire size is 20AWG equivalent to 16/0.2 (0.5mm2).
LINE SUPPLY
The supply voltage to the recorder is terminated using an IEC socket which is connected to the mating plug at the rear
of the recorder. The recorder is suitable for use with all ac voltages between 85 and 265 V RMS (47 to 63 Hz), and
requires 60 VA max. power. For recorders without transmitter power supplies, supply voltages between 110V dc and
370V dc are also suitable.
LOW VOLTAGE SUPPLY OPTION
Not suitable for recorders fitted with the isolated transmitter power supply option.
The low voltage supply option is terminated at a three-pin connector (plug mounted on recorder - socket on supply
cable) as shown in figure 2.2.2. The option allows the use of ac or dc supplies with the following characteristics:
AC: 20 to 42V RMS (45 to 400 Hz)
DC: 20 to 54V (See warning above)
Power: 60VA max.

The access flap is located immediately below the recorder screen. To open the flap, insert one or more fingers under
the flap handle, and pull it outwards and down (figure 2.3). A lockable version of the flap is available - see section 2.4
for details. Located behind the flap are (from left to right):
1. a stylus (press to eject)
2. a slot for a Compact Flash or Secure Digital (SD) card
3. a USB port (usbfront).

2.3.1 Stylus
A stylus suitable for use on the touch screen is located in a storage area to the left of the Compact Flash/SD Card slot.
2.3.2 Card slot
The slot for the Compact Flash or SD card is located centrally behind the flap. If an SD card is already fitted, it is
removed by pressing on the card, to unlatch it, then pulling the card out of the slot. If a Compact Flash card is already
fitted, it is removed by a double operation of the eject button. See details in figures 2.3.2a and 2.3.2b, below
Caution
Removal of the memory device whilst archiving is in progress causes irreparable damage to the filing structure
on the device, rendering it unusable. For this reason, archiving should be suspended (section 4.1 ) (wait for the
green section of the disk icon (section 3.1.3 ) to go ‘white’) before the device is removed. It is strongly recommended that the 'Remove Media ' facility described in section 3.1.4 (Summary menu ) be used to ensure that it is
safe to remove the memory device. For recorders fitted with a lockable flap, see also section 2.4 .

2.3.3 USB Front Port
A type-A USB socket is located to the right of the Compact Flash/SD Card slot. This port can be used to connect a
mouse, a keyboard, a barcode scanner, a 'memory stick' or a floppy disk drive. If more than one such device is required
at a time, two further, rear panel USB ports (USB 1 and USB 2) are available as an option. Maximum current per USB
device = 500 mA; maximum cumulative current = 1100 mA.
Note: It is the responsibility of the user to establish the electromagnetic susceptibility of any USB peripheral
connected to the recorder. Refer to the USB port specification in Annex A for details.

2.4 LOCKABLE FLAP OPTION
This option allows the access flap below the display screen to be locked against unauthorized access to the Compact
Flash/SD card. It also provides some protection (in the form of a warning message) against the inadvertent removal of
such a card whilst archive data is being written to it. Removal of the memory device whilst it is being written to will
not only corrupt the current archive, but might also damage the memory device irreparably, rendering it unusable. See
also section 3.1.4.
Notes:
1. Control of the flap lock is available only to users with ‘Archiving Control’ permission enabled.
2. Control of the flap lock is not possible via Bridge software.
3. The description below applies only to Archive data.
2.4.1 Flap lock operation
ARCHIVE INACTIVE
1. Touch the root menu or alarm status area at the top of the screen.
2. Touch the ‘Unlock Flap’ key (figure 2.4.1a).
3. Archiving is suspended, the internal solenoid releases the catch, to allow the flap to be opened, and a pop-up message appears ‘OK to remove archive media’ (figure 2.4.1b).
4. After approximately five seconds, the solenoid returns the catch to the locked position. The flap can be returned to
the closed position whether or not the flap lock is engaged. It is up to the user to ensure that the flap is properly
closed and locked.
