Chapter 1 Functional Description
1.1Overview of the Recorder
The RD100B Recorder (hereafter referred to as the recorder) can be used to assign DC
voltage, 1-5V, thermocouple, RTD, and contact or voltage ON/OFF signal to channels for
measurement. The measured results are recorded with pens or dots on a chart paper
that is fed at a constant speed. The pen model can record up to 4 channels; the dot
model can record up to 6 channels.
RD100B RecorderRecording example (dot model)
Alarms
For each channel, various alarms such as high limit alarm and low limit alarm can be
assigned to monitor the measured values. Alarm output relays can be used to output
contact signals when alarms occur (/A1, /A2, and /A3 options).
Recording
The measured results are recorded with pens or dots on a chart paper (trend recording).
The chart speed can be selected from 5 to 12000 mm/h on the pen model and 1 to 1500
mm/h on the dot model.
In addition to trend recording, various types of information can be printed or recorded on
the chart paper such as numeric measured values, alarm occurrence/release, and
predefined messages.
Also, the recorder settings can be printed.
1
Functional Description
Internal Light
A light is provided for easier viewing of the recording area of the chart paper.
Display
Measured values can be displayed numerically or using bar graphs on the large display.
Also, alarm status and chart speed can be displayed.
Communication Function
Using the Ethernet communication interface (/C7 option) or the RS-422A/485
communication interface (/C3 option), the measured values on the recorder can be
output to a PC or a PC can be used to control the recorder.
This manual does not cover the communication functions. For details on communication
functions, see the RD100B/RD1800B Communication Interface User’s Manual on the
CD-ROM.

Input Type, Measurable Range, and Computation
The recorder can measure the following types of inputs.
Input TypeMeasurable Range
DC voltageDC voltage in the range of ±20 mV to ± 50 V
1-5VSee “1-5V” below.
Thermocouple Temperature range corresponding to each type: R, S, B, K, E, J, T, N, W, L, U,
and WRe
RTDTemperature range corresponding to each type: Pt100Ω and JPt100Ω
ON/OFF input Contact input: Open contact is OFF (0). Closed contact is ON (1).
Voltage input: Less than 2.4 V is OFF (0). Greater than or equal to 2.4 V is ON (1)
(However, the scan interval is 2.5 s when the
integration time of the A/D converter is 100 ms.)
• 1-5V
1-5V is scaled to values in the appropriate unit to be used as measured values. Also,
the low-cut function (input less than 0% is fixed to 0 (scale left value)) can be used.
• Current Input
A shunt resistor is attached to the input terminal. The current signal is converted to a
voltage signal and measured. The measurable range is the range equivalent to the
“DC voltage” range indicated above after converting the current to the voltage signal.
Note
Three types of shunt resistors (250 Ω, 100 Ω, and 10 Ω) are available for current input (see
“Optional Accessories (Sold Separately)” on page v). For example, a 250-Ω shunt resistor is
used to convert the signal to the range of 1 to 5 V for 4 to 20 mA input.
• Range Type, Measurable Range, and Recording Span
Various “range type” are available for the different types of inputs (for example
thermocouple R). Each range type has a preset measurable range (0.0 to 1760.0°C
for thermocouple R). Measurement can be made by specifying an arbitrary range
within the measurable range as the input range. The measured values in the input
range are recorded on the chart paper. The range of measured values that are
recorded is called the recording span.

1.2 Measuring Input Section
• Delta Computation
The value obtained by subtracting the measured value of another channel (called the
reference channel) from the input value of the channel set to delta computation is used
as the measured value of that channel. The reference channel must be assigned to a
channel whose channel number is less than that of the channel on which delta
computation is specified. The channel on which delta computation is specified is
automatically set to the same range type as the reference channel.

• Square Root Computation
When the input type is DC voltage, the square root of the input value is calculated, the
result is scaled to a value in the appropriate unit, and used as the measured value of
the channel. Also, the low-cut function (input less than a given measured value is
fixed to 0 (scale left value)) can be used.

Burnout Detection of Thermocouples
This function makes the recording go off the scale to the right or left when the
thermocouple burns out while measuring temperature with a thermocouple. This
function can also be used on 1-5V. The burnout detection function can be set for each
channel.
By default, this function is disabled.

Reference Junction Compensation of Thermocouple Input
When measuring the temperature using a thermocouple, the reference junction
compensation on the recorder can be used. When using external reference junction
compensation, you can set the reference voltage. The reference junction compensation
can be set for each channel.
By default, the recorder is configured to use the internal reference junction compensation
function.
Note
When using external reference junction compensation, set an appropriate reference junction
compensation voltage. For example, if the reference junction temperature of the external
reference compensation is T0 °C, set the reference compensation junction voltage to the
thermoelectromotive force of the 0°C reference of T0 °C.

Noise Elimination from Input Signals
Filter and Moving Average
This function used to suppress the effects of noise that is riding on the signal. The pen
model and dot model are equipped with a filter function and a moving average function,
respectively. The function can be set for each measurement channel. However, it does
not operate on channels set to ON/OFF input.
• Filter (Pen Model)
The filter is a low-pass filter. The time constant can be set to 2 s, 5 s, or 10 s.
Filter result (output for a step input)
Input
2, 5, 10 s (time constant, the time it takes
to reach 63.2% of the output value)
• Moving Average (Dot Model)
The average value of the m most recent values acquired at the scan interval is used
as the measured value of the channel. The number of moving-averaged data points
(m) can be set in the range 2 to 16. The figure below shows an example indicating
the operation of the buffer for the moving average computation when the number of
moving averaged data points is set to 5.

1.2 Measuring Input Section
Integration Time of the A/D Converter
The recorder uses an A/D converter to convert the sampled analog signal to a digital
signal. By setting the integration time of the A/D converter to match the time period
corresponding to one cycle of the power supply or an integer multiple of one cycle, the
power supply frequency noise can be effectively suppressed.
The integration time of the A/D converter is selected according to the model from the
table below.
ModelIntegration Time of the A/D Converter
Pen modelSelect 16.7 ms (60 Hz), 20 ms (50 Hz), or Auto
Dot modelSelect 16.7 ms (60 Hz), 20 ms (50 Hz), 100 ms or Auto
• If Auto is selected, the recorder detects the power supply frequency and automatically
selects 16.7 ms or 20 ms.
• Because 100 ms is an integer multiple of 16.7 ms and 20 ms, this setting can be used
to suppress the power frequency noise for either frequency, 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
• The scan interval on the dot model is 1 s when the integration time is set to 16.7 ms or
20 ms and 2.5 s when the integration time is set to 100 ms.

Alarm releaseAlarm occurrence
• Alarm does not occur at T1, because the time period is shorter than the specified
alarm delay period (T).
• The measured value exceeds the alarm value at time X2, and the alarm occurs at
time X3 at which the specified alarm delay period elapses (the time when the alarm
occurs is the time at X3).
• The measured value falls below the alarm value at time X4, and the alarm is
released.
Note
• The alarm detection operation is reset when a power failure occurs. The operation
restarts after the power recovers.
• If the alarm value is changed while a delay alarm is occurring, the alarm is released if the
new alarm value does not meet the alarm condition.
Alarm Hysteresis
Hysteresis can be specified to the values for activating and releasing the alarm. The
hysteresis applies only to high limit alarm (H) and low limit alarm (L). The hysteresis
width can be set in the range of 0.0% (Off) to 1.0% of the recording span in 0.1 steps.
The setting applies to all high limit alarms and low limit alarms. By default, the hysteresis
width is set to 0.5%.

Functional Description
Alarm Output Relay (/A1, /A2, and /A3 Options)
Contact signals can be generated from alarm output relays when alarms occur. The
number of output relays is 2 (/A1), 4 (/A2), or 6 (/A3). The alarm output relays are
denoted as I01 to I06 on the recorder.
The following functions can be assigned to the alarm output relay.
Diagnosis Output
The diagnosis output can be assigned to alarm output relay I01.
The relay is activated when there is an error in the plotter operation on the pen model,
when a burnout is detected, or when there is an error in the A/D converter. Output relay
I01 is normally energized and de-energizes when an error is detected (de-energized
operation and non-hold operation).
If diagnosis output is enabled, I01 becomes a relay dedicated to diagnosis output.

Reflash Alarm
When multiple alarms are assigned to one alarm output relay, this function notifies the
occurrence of subsequent alarms after the relay is activated by the first alarm. When
subsequent alarms occur, the output relay is released temporarily (approximately 500
ms).
The reflash alarm function is set to three output relays (I01, I02, and I03 (I01 and I02 for
the /A1 option)).
By default, the reflash alarm is disabled.

Trend Recording
The measured values are printed within a width of 100 mm.
Recording Method (Pen Model)
• The measured value is updated every scan interval and continuously recorded.
• The recording colors in order from channel 01 are red, green, blue, and violet.
Recording Method (Dot Model)
• The most recent measured value is recorded with a dot every dot printing interval.
The dot printing interval is in the range of 10 s to 90 s. There are two recording
methods from which you can select. One method automatically adjusts the dot
printing interval according to the chart speed so that the dots do not overlap. The
other method records at the fastest dot printing interval at all times.
• The recording colors in order from channel 01 are purple, red, green, blue, brown, and
black. The recording color of each channel can be changed among these six colors.
• For each channel, trend recording can be enabled or disabled.

Alarms
Up to 4 alarms can be assigned to each computation channel.
• The alarm types are high limit alarm (H), low limit alarm (L), delay high limit alarm (T),
and delay low limit alarm (t).
• Hysteresis can be specified to the values for activating and releasing the alarm. The
hysteresis applies only to high limit alarm (H) and low limit alarm (L). The hysteresis
width can be set in the range of 0.0% (Off) to 1.0% of the recording span in 0.1 steps.
The setting applies to all high limit alarms and low limit alarms. By default, the
hysteresis width is set to 0% (Off).

1.7FAIL/Chart End Detection and Output Function
(/F1 Option)
FAIL Output
When a failure occurs in the CPU of the recorder, a relay contact signal (1 signal) is
output. The relay is energized when the CPU is normal and de-energizes when a CPU
failure occurs. Therefore, relay output is carried out also when the power is turned OFF
(including a power failure). This relay behavior cannot be changed.
When the remaining amount of chart paper falls to approximately 2 cm, recording is
stopped, and the relay contact signal (1 relay) is output. The relay is energized in this
case. This relay behavior cannot be changed.
Specified operations can be carried out by applying remote signals (contact or open
collector signals) to the remote control input terminals.
There are five remote control input terminals. An action can be assigned to each
terminal.
• Applying a rising edge signal when recording is already in progress produces no
effect. Applying a falling edge signal when recording is stopped produces no
effect.
• Chart Speed Switch
• Remote input signal: Level
• The chart paper is fed at the secondary chart speed while a level signal is applied
to the terminal. The secondary chart speed is set in advance.
• Message 1 Printout to Message 5 Printout
• Remote input signal: Trigger
• Prints message 1 to 5 on the chart paper.
• Manual Printout
• Remote input signal: Trigger
• Executes a manual printout.
• Alarm ACK
• Remote input signal: Trigger
• Alarm ACK is executed on all alarms that are occurring. This is valid only when the
alarm indication or output relay operation is set to hold.
• Internal Clock Adjustment
• Remote input signal: Trigger
• The internal clock of the recorder is adjusted to the nearest hour depending on the
time when the remote signal is applied.

Example: 10 hours 59 min 50 s becomes 11 hours 00 min 00 s.
• Starts/stops the computation. This is valid only on models with the computation
function (/M1 option).
• If the computation is started, applying a rising edge signal produces no effect. If
the computation is stopped, applying a falling edge signal produces no effect.
• Computation Reset
• Remote input signal: Trigger
• The computed results of computation channels are reset. This is valid only on
models with the computation function (/M1 option) and while the computation is
stopped. For all other cases, applying the remote signal produces no effect.
Remote Signal (Edge, Trigger, and Level)
The above actions are carried out on the rising or falling edge of the remote signal
(edge), the ON signal lasting at least 250 ms (trigger), or the ON/OFF signal (level).

2.2Installation
Installation Location
Install the recorder indoors in a location that meets the following conditions. See also
the normal operating conditions described in section 12.6, “General Specifications.”
• Instrument Panel
The recorder is designed for panel mounting.
• Well-Ventilated Location
To prevent overheating, install the recorder in a well-ventilated location.
For the panel cut dimensions when arranging multiple recorders, see page 2-4.
Follow the panel cut dimensions providing adequate space between instruments
when other instruments are arranged on the panel.
• Minimum Mechanical Vibrations
Choose an installation location with the minimum mechanical vibration.
Installing the recorder in a location with large mechanical vibration not only causes
adverse effects on the mechanism but also may hinder normal recording.
• Horizontal
Install the recorder horizontally (However, the recorder can be inclined up to 30
degrees backwards for panel mounting).
Note
• Condensation may occur if the recorder is moved to another place where both the ambient
temperature and humidity are higher, or if the temperature changes rapidly. In addition,
measurement errors will result when using thermocouples. In this case, let the recorder
adjust to the new environment for at least one hour before using it.
• The chart paper may be adversely affected by a rapid change in the ambient temperature and
humidity.
Do not install the instrument in the following places.
• Outdoors
• In direct sunlight or near heat sources
Install the recorder in a place with small temperature fluctuations near room
temperature (23°C). Placing the recorder in direct sunlight or near heat appliances
can cause adverse effects on the internal circuitry.
• Where an excessive amount of soot, steam, moisture, dust, or corrosive gases
are present
Soot, steam, moisture, dust, and corrosive gases will adversely affect the recorder.
Avoid such locations.
• Near Strong Magnetic Field Sources
Do not bring magnets or instruments that produce electromagnetic fields close to the
recorder. Operating the recorder in strong magnetic fields can cause errors in the
measurements.
2-2
Installation Procedure
The recorder should be mounted on a steel panel of thickness 2 mm to 26 mm.
2.2 Installation
1.Insert the recorder from the front side of the panel.
2.As shown in the figure below, mount the recorder to the panel using the
mounting brackets that come with the package.
• Use two brackets to support the top and bottom or the left and right sides of

2.3Input Signal Wiring
General Precautions to Be Taken While Wiring
To prevent the possibility of electric shock when wiring, make sure that the
power supply source is turned OFF.
• If a strong tension is applied to the cable wired to the recorder, the terminals of
the recorder and/or the cable can be damaged. In order to prevent tension from
being applied directly on the terminals, fasten all wiring cables to the rear of the
mounting panel.
• Do not apply a voltage exceeding the following value to the input terminals as
this may damage the recorder.
• Maximum input voltage
Voltage range less than or equal to 200 mVDC, TC, RTD, and DI: ±10 VDC
Ranges other than those listed above: ±60 VDC
• Maximum common-mode voltage
±60 VDC (under measurement category II conditions)
• The recorder is an INSTALLATION CATEGORY II product.
2
Before Using the Recorder
WARNING
CAUTION
Precautions to Be Taken While Wiring
Take the following precautions when wring the input signal cables.
It is recommended that crimp-on lug with insulation sleeves (designed for 4-mm
screws) be used when connecting the input/output signal wires to the terminals.
However, this does not apply clamped terminals (/H2).
Crimp-on lug with insulation
sleeves (for 4 mm screws)
For clamped terminals (/H2), the following wire is recommended.
• Conductive cross-sectional area for single wire: 0.14 mm2 to 1.5 mm2, stranded wire:
0.14 mm
• Length of the stripped section of the wire: Approx. 5 mm
Take measures to prevent noise from entering the measurement circuit.
• Move the measurement circuit away from the power cable (power circuit) and ground
circuit.
• It is desirable that the object being measured does not generate noise. However, if
this is unavoidable, isolate the measurement circuit from the object. Also, ground the
object being measured.
• Shielded wires should be used to minimize noise caused by electrostatic induction.
Connect the shield to the ground terminal of the recorder as necessary (make sure
you are not grounding at two points).
• To minimize noise caused by electromagnetic induction, twist the measurement circuit
wires at short, equal intervals.
• Make sure to earth ground the protective ground terminal through minimum resistance
(less than 100 Ω).
2
to 1.0 mm

2-5
2.3 Input Signal Wiring
When using internal reference junction compensation on the thermocouple input,
take measures to stabilize the temperature at the input terminal.
• Always use the terminal cover.
• Do not use thick wires which may cause large heat dissipation (cross sectional area of
2
0.5 mm
or less recommended).
• Make sure that the ambient temperature remains reasonably stable. Large
temperature fluctuations can occur if a nearby fan turns ON or OFF.
Connecting the input wires in parallel with other devices can cause signal
degradation, affecting all connected devices.
If you need to make a parallel connection, then
• Turn the burnout detection function OFF.
• Ground the instruments to the same point.
• Do not turn ON or OFF another instrument during operation. This can have adverse
effects on the other instruments.
• RTDs cannot be wired in parallel.

2.4Optional Terminal Wiring
General Precautions to be Taken While Wiring the Input/Output Signal Wires
WARNING
• To prevent electric shock while wiring, ensure that the power supply source is
turned OFF.
• If a voltage of more than 30 VAC or 60 VDC is to be applied to the output
terminals, use ring-tongue crimp-on lugs with insulation sleeves on all terminals
to prevent the wires from slipping out when the screws become loose.
Furthermore, use double-insulated wires (dielectric strength of 2300 VAC or
more) for the signal wires on which a voltage of more than 30 VAC or 60 VDC is
to be applied. For all other wires, use basic insulated wires (dielectric strength
of 1390 VAC). To prevent electric shock, attach the terminal cover after wiring
and make sure not to touch the terminals.
Crimp-on lug with insulation sleeves

Chapter 4 Common Operations for Setting Functions and Setup Guide
4.1Run Modes
The recorder has three run modes.
Operation Mode
This mode is used for normal recording operation. The recorder enters this mode when
the power is turned ON. The operations that can be carried out in this mode are
described in chapter 3. The details on the data display setup screen are explained in
chapter 8.
Setting Mode
This mode is used to set the input range, alarms, chart speed, and other parameters.
These settings can be changed while recording is in progress. However, the input range
of measurement channels and the computing equation, unit, constant, and TLOG setting
of computation channels cannot be changed while computation (/M1 option) is in
progress. The operations that can be carried out in this mode are described in chapter 5
and 6.
Basic Setting Mode
This mode is used to set the basic specifications of the recorder such as the
thermocouple burnout detection function and the alarm output relay operation. This
mode cannot be entered while the recorder is recording or while computation is in
progress on the computation function (/M1 option). Measurement, recording, and alarm
detection cannot be carried out in this mode. The operations that can be carried out in
this mode are described in chapter 7.
