The instrument is a microprocessor based circular chart Recording Profile Controller capable
of measuring, displaying, recording and controlling a variety of inputs. Applications include
temperature, level, pressure, flow and others. The instruments can be specified as either a
single or as a dual pen model. The second pen can be selected as a profile control or a
single setpoint control.
Recording, control functions, alarm settings, profile entry and other parameters are easily
entered via the keypad. All user data can be protected from unauthorized changes by the
Enable mode security system, and is protected against memory loss, as a result of AC power
outage, by battery back-up.
The process sensor input for each terminal block is user configurable to directly connect to
either thermocouple, RTD, mVDC, VDC, or mADC inputs. Changes in input type can easily be
made by the user. Thermocouple and RTD linearization, as well as thermocouple cold
junction compensation, are performed automatically. The instrument process variable inputs
are isolated. An isolated 24 VDC regulated transmitter power supply can be provided in the
instrument for use with up to two 4 to 20 mADC process sensor transducers.
The instrument can be ordered to operate on either 115 VAC or 230 VAC power at 50/60 Hz.
The 230 VAC option includes a switch for selecting either 230 VAC or 115 VAC operation.
The instrument is housed in a structural foam enclosure suitable for panel or surface
mounting.

1.1.2 RECORDING
The instrument records the selected process variable on a 10-inch circular chart. One box of
standard charts is provided with each recorder. Charts are available in a wide selection of
ranges. Chart rotation speed is programmable from 0.1 to 999.9 hours per revolution in 0.1
hour increments. The instrument can be ordered with one or two pens. Pen 1 is red and Pen 2
is green. Pens are the disposable fiber-tip type.
1.1.3 DISPLAYS
Each instrument is provided with a digital display and status indicator for each pen provided
(See Figure 1-1, page 5). The display may be configured to display the Process Value,
Process Value and Setpoint, Deviation from Setpoint only, Deviation and Setpoint, or Setpoint
only. During configuration the display(s) is/are used to show the enabled modes of operation
and the parameter codes.
The display in the upper right corner is for Pen 1, the display in the lower right corner is for
Pen 2 (if provided). The upper display includes status indicators for Manual mode operation,
Output 1, Output 2 , Alarm, Setpoint, negative value, degrees C, degrees F, engineering units,
Ramp, Soak and Six segment lamps. The lower display (if provided), includes status indicators for Manual mode operation, Output 1, Output 2, Alarm, Setpoint, negative value, degrees
C, degrees F, and engineering units. (Relative Humidity will be indicated in engineering
units). See Figure 1-2 ( page 7).
Display resolution is programmable for 0.1 or 1 degree for thermocouple and RTD inputs, and
none, one, two or three decimal places for other input types. Relative Humidity will be
indicated as whole number only.
1.1.4 CONTROL
The instrument can be provided with relay, solid state relay driver and milliamp DC outputs.
Instruments can be programmed for on-off, time proportioning, current proportioning or
position proportioning control depending upon the output(s) present. Relay(s) and Solid State
Relay Driver(s) may be assigned to be On or Off during the profile ramp and soak of a profile
segment. Switching between the Control mode and the Manual mode of operation is easily
accomplished with a dedicated key on the keypad. Switching is bumpless from the Control to
the Manual mode, and while in manual, manipulation of proportional outputs is possible. Each
pen of a dual pen recording controller is provided with its own AUTO/MANUAL key . Other
standard control features include proportional control output limits, setpoint limits, anti-reset
windup and a unique Automatic Transfer function. If configured, the Automatic Transfer
function allows manual control of the proportional output until the process reaches the setpoint
at which time the instrument will go into the Control (automatic) mode of operation.
1.1.5 ALARM
An Alarm indicator is standard for each pen. Two alarm functions are provided for each pen
and the alarm indicator will light if either alarm for that pen is On. Alarm settings are programmable. Alarm type may be selected as process direct or reverse (high or low), deviation from
setpoint direct or reverse, and deviation band open or closed within the band. Alarm outputs
can be provided by assigning any relay(s) Single Pole/Single Throw (SPST)or Solid State
Relay (SSR) driver to the respective alarm.
6
1.1.6 PROCESS VALUE RE-TRANSMISSION OUTPUT
If an instrument is specified with mADC current output(s), any of the outputs may be programmed to operate as a process value re-transmission output. The output is scaleable but
can not be used as a control output while assigned as a process value re-transmission output.
1.1.7 DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS
The instrument can be ordered with a Digital Communications option that provides the
capability of bi-directional communications with a supervisory computer. A dual pen
instrument can have an individual address selected for each pen. Refer to the Communications Protocol Manual (Form 2878) for more details regarding the communications option.

Preparations for Wiring 2.5
2.5.1 WIRING GUIDELINES
Electrical noise is a phenomenon typical of industrial environments. The following are guidelines that must be followed to minimize the effect of noise upon any instrumentation.
2.5.1.1 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Listed below are some of the common sources of electrical noise in the industrial environment:
• Ignition Transformers
• Arc Welders
• Mechanical contact relay(s)
• Solenoids
Before using any instrument near the devices listed, the instructions below should be
followed:
1. If the instrument is to be mounted in the same panel as any of the listed devices,
separate them by the largest distance possible. For maximum electrical noise
reduction, the noise generating devices should be mounted in a separate
enclosure.
2. If possible, eliminate mechanical contact relay(s) and replace with solid state
relays. If a mechanical relay being powered by an instrument output device
cannot be replaced, a solid state relay can be interposed to isolate the instrument.
(Continued on next page)
9
3. A separate isolation transformer to feed only instrumentation should be
considered. The transformer can isolate the instrument from noise found on the
AC power input.
4. If the instrument is being installed on existing equipment, the wiring in the area
should be checked to insure that good wiring practices have been followed.
2.5.1.2 AC POWER WIRING
Earth Ground
The instrument includes noise suppression components that require an earth ground
connection to function. To verify that a good earth ground is being attached, make a resistance check from the instrument chassis to the nearest metal water pipe or proven earth
ground. This reading should not exceed 100 ohms. Each instrument should have a dedicated
earth ground. Do not chain link multiple instrument ground wires.
Neutral (For 115VAC)
It is good practice to assure that the AC neutral is at or near ground potential. To verify this, a
voltmeter check between neutral and ground should be done. On the AC range, the reading
should not be more than 50 millivolts. If it is greater than this amount, the secondary of this
AC transformer supplying the instrument should be checked by an electrician. A proper
neutral will help ensure maximum performance from the instrument.
2.5.1.3 WIRE ISOLATION/SEGRATION
The instrument is designed to promote proper separation of the wiring groups that connect to
the instrument. The AC power wire terminals are located near the top of the instrument
boards. The analog signal terminals are located near the bottom of the instrument boards.
Maintain this separation of the wires to insure the best protection from electrical noise. If the
wires need to be run parallel with any other wiring type(s), maintain a minimum 6 inch space
between the wires. If wires must cross each other, do so at 90 degrees to minimize the
contact with each other and amount of cross talk. Cross talk is due to the EMF (Electro
Magnetic Flux) emitted by a wire as current passes through it.
2.5.1.4 USE OF SHIELDED CABLE
Shielded cable helps eliminate electrical noise being induced on the wires. All analog signals
should be run with shielded cable. Connection lead length should be kept as short as possible, keeping the wires protected by the shielding. The shield should be grounded at one end
only. The preferred grounding location is at the sensor, transmitter or transducer.
2.5.1.5 NOISE SUPPRESSION AT THE SOURCE
Usually when good wiring practices are followed, no further noise protection is necessary.
Sometimes in severe environments, the amount of noise is so great that it has to be suppressed at the source. Many manufacturers of relays, contactors, etc. supply "surge suppressors" which mount on the noise source.
For those devices that do not have surge suppressors supplied, RC (resistance-capacitance)
networks and/or MOV (metal oxide varistors) may be added.
Inductive Coils - MOV's are recommended for transient suppression in inductive soils connected in parallel and as close as possible to the coil. See Figure 2-2. Additional protection
may be provided by adding an RC network across the MOV.
Contacts - Arcing may occur across contacts when the contact opens and closes. This results
in electrical noise as well as damage to the contacts. Connecting a RC network properly
sized can eliminate this arc.
For circuits up to 3 amps, a combination of a 47 ohm resistor and 0.1 microfarad capacitor
(1000 volts) is recommended. For circuits from 3 to 5 amps, connect 2 of these in parallel.
See Figure 2-3.

2.5.2 SENSOR PLACEMENT (THERMOCOUPLE OR RTD)
Thermocouple lead resistance should not exceed 300 ohms. If this is exceeded, instrument
accuracy could be affected.
Two wire RTD's should only be used with lead lengths less than 10 feet.
If the temperature probe is to be subjected to corrosive or abrasive conditions, it should be
protected by the appropriate thermowell. The probe should be positioned to reflect true
process temperature:
In liquid media - the mose agitated area.
In air - the best circulated area.
THERMOCOUPLE LEAD RESISTANCE
Thermocouple lead length can affect instrument accuracy, since the size (gauge) and the
length of the wire affect lead resistance.
To determine the temperature error resulting from the lead length resistance, use the following
equation:
Terr = TLe * Lwhere; TLe = value from appropriate Table
L = length of leadwire in thousands of feet.

Example
A recorder is to be located in a control room 660 feet away from the process. Using 16 AWG,
Type J thermocouple, how much error is induced?
12
Terr = TLe * L = 4.93 (°F/1000 ft) from Table 2.
Terr = 4.93 (°F/1000 ft)
Terr = 3.3 °F
RTD LEAD RESISTANCE
RTD lead length can affect instrument accuracy. Size (gauge) and length of the wire used
affects lead length resistance.
To determine the temperature error resulting from the lead length resistance, use the following
equation:
Terr = TLe * Lwhere; TLe = value from Table 3 if 3 wire or Table 4 is 2 wire.
Example
An application uses 2000 feet of 18 AWG copper lead wire for a 3-wire RTD sensor. What is
the worst-case error due to this leadwire length?
Terr = TLe * L
TLE = +/- .46 (°F/1000 ft) from Table 1
Terr = +/- .46 (°F/1000 ft) * 2000 ft
Terr = +/- 0.92 °F

Configuration 3.1
After completing installation and wiring of the instrument the configuration (set up) procedures
must be performed to prepare the instrument for operation on the intended application. The
procedures include selecting specific parameters, entering data and possible jumper positioning. Once properly configured the instrument will retain the user selections in memory so this
procedure need not be repeated unless required by changes in the application.
Parameter selections and data entry are made via the front keypad. To ease configuration
and operation, user entered data has been divided up into several sections referred to as
modes. Each mode contains a different type of data or may be used for specific operating
functions. For two pen instruments, some modes are common to both pens. These modes are
as follows:

Associated with each mode is a series of unique displays that are accessed via the front
keypad.
21
Prior to first time operation of the instrument, the configuration procedures for the Program
and Tune modes must be performed as applicable. Calibration and Test modes are not used
as part of the instrument configuration or operation. These are used for service and maintenance functions and are discussed in Section 5.4 & 5.5 of this manual (page 56 - 66).
Shipped Configuration/Jumper Positioning 3.2
Each instrument is factory shipped ready to accept a thermocouple input on TB 4 and TB 5.
All parameters in each mode are set to default values. These defaults are shown in tabular
form after the description for each mode. Instrument AC power input is as specified in the
instrument model number and is shown on the ratings label. The 230 VAC option includes a
switch in the instrument for selecting either 230 VAC or115 VAC input power. If this feature is
provided, verify AC input and switch position before applying power to the instrument.
3.2.1 JUMPER POSITIONING
Jumpers are used to condition the sensor inputs and to provide a security lockout feature. All
jumpers are located on the instrument Processor board. The instrument board layout and
jumper locations and functions are shown in Appendix A-1 (page 67). Check the jumper
positions in the instrument and verify that they are in the proper position for the intended
application.
The sensor input jumpers JU4, JU5, JU6 and JU7 condition the sensor input signals
and must be used in conjunction with input type selections made in the Program mode.
(page 28).

Operation Summary 3.3
3.3.1 MODE SELECTION
If the instrument is either in the Off mode or the Control mode, repeated pressing and
releasing of the SCROLL key will cause the instrument to display the code corresponding to
each mode that is enabled. To enter a mode while the code is displayed, press the DOWN
key. If a mode does not appear, refer to the Enable mode section for information on how to
determine if the mode is on.
Entry into any mode except the Control, Tune, Manual and Enable modes, will cause the
output(s) to turn off and any process re-transmission value output(s) to be 0 %.
Start up Procedures 3.4
All configuration parameters are listed in Tables 3-1 through 3-4.
For a single pen instrument, parameters for each mode are displayed in the upper right
display. If the instrument being configured is a two pen model, a sequence of applicable
parameters will be displayed in the Pen 2 display after the Pen 1 parameters have been
reviewed and configured. After the Pen 2 parameters have been completed, parameters
common to both pens will be configured and displayed in the Pen 1 display.
The instrument is provided with a time out feature. If the instrument is in any mode (except
while executing a calibration or test procedure) and no keypad activity takes place for 30
seconds, the instrument will time out and exit the mode automatically. The display will become
the code for the respective mode. If a mode code is displayed for 5 seconds with no keypad
activity, then the time out will cause the instrument to proceed to either the Control or Off
mode, depending upon whether the mode entered was an operational mode (Tune, Manual,
Enable) or non operational mode (Test, Program, Cal, Profile Entry or Profile Continue).
3.4.1 POWER UP PROCEDURE
Step 1
Verify that all electrical connections have been properly made before applying power to the
instrument.
Step 2A - For instruments with software revision R2.99 and below
Upon power up, 7XXX will be displayed (X representing digits), then XXXX, then XXXX,
identifying the twelve digit model number as defined in the order matrix. Next, the EPROM
part number will be indicated P-XX. After the EPROM part number, the software revision level
will be displayed in the format rX.XX then tSt1, tSt2, tSt3 will be displayed while Test 1
through 3 are executed automatically. Upon successful completion of these tests, CtrL or oFF
will be displayed for about three seconds. The mode displayed will be the mode that the
instrument was in when the power was turned off. During this time the operator may select
another mode (Tune, Manual, Enable) or non-operational mode (Test, Program, Cal).
Step 2B - For instruments with software revision R3.00 and above
Upon power up, a brief flash on all displays (upper and, if equipped, lower) will occur to show
the instrument is "alive". Then 7XXX will be displayed (X representing digits), then XXXX,
then XXXX, identifying the twelve digit model number as defined in the order matrix. Next, the
EPROM part number will be indicated P-XX. After the EPROM part number, the software
revision level will be displayed in the format rX.XX followed by P.dn (if Pen Action on Power
Up, PAPu, in Program Mode is set to 0, pens go to "home" position on power up). During this
display, the decimal point after the "P" will blink to show the mode is active. Upon successful
completion of this routine, CtrL or oFF will be displayed for about three seconds. The mode
displayed will be the mode that the instrument was in when the power was turned off. During
this time the operator may select another mode (Tune, Manual, Enable) or non-operational
mode (Test, Program, Cal).
Step 3
If any error messages are displayed, refer to Section 5.6 (page 60) for a definition of the
error message and the required action.
Front Panel Operation 3.5
3.5.1 DIGITAL DISPLAY AND STATUS LED’S
