ATTENTION
The emission limits of EN 61326 are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when this equipment is operated in an industrial environment. Operation
of this equipment in a residential area may cause harmful interference. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause interference to radio
and television reception when the equipment is used closer than 30 meters (98 feet) to the
antenna(e). In special cases, when highly susceptible apparatus is used in close proximity, the
user may have to employ additional mitigating measures to further reduce the electromagnetic
emissions of this equipment.
1.1 Introduction
Function
The DR4500A Classic Series recorder combines the simplicity of pen drawn analog traces with the
sophistication of microprocessor controlled functions. This combination results in a user configurable
recorder that is easily adapted to meet a variety of application requirements—from blast furnace to
laboratory.
In addition to recording analog traces, the Classic Series recorder continuously displays process variable
values in the selected engineering units.
Both one-pen and two-pen models accept inputs from any one of a variety of sensors or transmitters within
the configurable range limits. Also, models are available with one or two digital controllers to generate
controlled output signals to operate valves, dampers, heating elements, etc. for process control.
CE Conformity (Europe)
1. Overview
Indicated models of this product are in conformity with the protection requirements of the following
European Council Directives: 73/23/EEC, the Low Voltage Directive, and 89/336/EEC, the EMC
Directive. Conformity of this product with any other “CE Mark” Directive(s) shall not be assumed.
Deviation from the installation conditions specified in this manual, and the special conditions for CE
conformity in Section 2.1, may invalidate this product’s conformity with the Low Voltage and EMC
Directives.
Microprocessor controlled recording and printing
Both the chart and the pen are driven by stepper motors which are controlled by the microprocessor with
configurable chart speed through the keyboard.
The microprocessor uses the configured chart range data as well as the input data to determine the proper
pen position.
The stepper motor accurately positions the pen drive without damping, thus eliminating the need for
slidewire feedback gearing and drive cables.
A configurable deviation recording function lets users show graphically the difference between a reference
input and a process variable input.
Release M DR4500A Classic Series Circular Chart Recorder With or Without Control Product Manual
April 2017
Users can designate the channel 1 input or enter a deviation setpoint value as the reference input.
Overview
Introduction
Digital controller
The DR4500A recorder includes an integral microprocessor-based, PID controller with two loops of
control. A variety of output types, including a duplex variation for heat cool applications, lets you select the
output that is right for your final control element.
You can configure the control action as On-Off, PID-A, PID-B, or PD with manual reset. English language
prompts guide you through the entry of all the controller's configurable parameters.
Construction
The DR4500 recorder is housed in a molded case which can be panel or surface mounted. A glass or acrylic
windowed door protects the internal components while allowing easy access to the chart and operator
interface. An optional external keypad that allows operator selections without opening the door is available.
Circuitry is partitioned on printed circuit boards for ease of service.
Power, input, and output wiring connect to terminations inside the case. Knockouts in the sides and bottom
of the case accept conduit connections for convenient wire entry.

instructions given in this section.
Read the preinstallation information, check the model number interpretation and become familiar with your
model selections, then proceed with installation.
What’s in this section?
This section contains the following information:
2. Installation
Pre-installation information
If the recorder has not been removed from its shipping carton, inspect the carton for damage and remove
the recorder. Inspect the unit for any obvious shipping damage and report any damage due to transit to the
carrier.
Make sure a bag containing mounting hardware is included in the carton with the recorder.
Check that the model number shown on the chart plate agrees with what you have ordered.
CE Conformity special conditions (Europe)
Shielded twisted pair cables are required for all Analog I/O, Process Variable, RTD, Thermocouple, dc
millivolt, low level signal, 4-20 mA, and relay output circuits. Supplementary bonding of the recorder
enclosure to a local ground, using 3/4” braided copper conductor, is required. Ferrite suppression filters
(see Subsection 2.5 for Wiring Prerequisites) shall be installed on all cables connected to the
recorder/controller. The cable shield drain wire at the cable load end requires connection through a
0.0047μf capacitor to ground.
Refer to document 51-52-05-01, How to Apply Digital Instrumentation in Severe Electrical Noise
Environments, for additional installation guidance.

Not all controller outputs are available on all models of the Classic Recorder.
Consult Model Selection Guide for information.
2
Includes reference junction calibration of ±0.01 degrees using standard “ice bath” method of calibration. Factory
calibration at reference ±1.2°F. Note that factory calibration may vary by as much as ±10 microvolts or ±0.3 ohms
for RTDs, which means recalibration may be required to achieve stated accuracy.
3
The RH calculation is inoperative when temperature goes below 32°F (0°C) or above 212°F (100°C). However, the
dry bulb temperature will be monitored to –103°F (–75°C). Accuracy stated is for Classic Series Recorder only, and
does not include remaining system accuracies.

Step
Action
1
Turn the latch on the recorder door and swing the door open.
2
Loosen the captive screw on the right hand side of the chart plate and swing the chart plate
out.
3
Reverse the steps to close the chart plate and door.
Example of model number decoding
Assume that the model number on the label is

Location of hardware components
After you decode your recorder’s model number, refer to Figure 2-2 to match “table” selections with the
location of actual recorder hardware components. This will help you to determine applicable input / output
wiring requirements, as well as identify appropriate software functions to be configured later.
To access and view the actual components inside your recorder, follow the procedure in Table 2-2.

2.3 Mounting Considerations and Overall Dimensions
Physical considerations
The recorder can be mounted in a panel by making a new cutout or using an existing cutout with a filler
plate (see Table 2-4). Use the mounting kit supplied. Adequate access space must be available at the back
of the panel for installation and servicing activities.
The overall dimensions and panel cutout requirements for mounting the recorder are shown in Figure 2-3.
Overall dimensions
Figure 2-3 shows the overall dimensions for mounting the recorder.
