2.2 Mounting the Recorder on the Wall
To mount the recorder on the wall, first locate the wall mounting holes using the template provided in the wall mounting kit. Leave the decorative foot cover (Figure 1-1, item #18) in place*. After drilling the holes, insert the wall anchors and put in the screws, leaving
1
8 inch (3 mm) between the screw heads and the wall. Hang the recorder by positioning the two (2) “keyholes” in the rear cover over the screw heads.
The ac adaptor has a 6 foot (2 meter) cable.
* If the decorative foot cover is not in place, go through the following steps to
reinstall the cover (if desired):
1. Place the recorder on the table (so it is front face up).
2. Roughly position the foot cover so the clips are in line with the stabilizing arm. Gently “stretch” the clips out and position over the arm as shown in Figure 2-4a.
3. Once the clips are in place, gently slide down until the foot cover is even with the front of the recorder as shown in Figure 2-4b.

2.3 Using Batteries
The recorder operates on either four “D” size batteries or on ac power. 110Vac and 220Vac adaptors are available.
In the event of ac power failure, the unit will switch over to battery power automatically.
Keep a fresh set of batteries in the unit in case of power outage, when it will be especially important to have a record of ambient temperature and humidity.
2.3.1 Installing Batteries
You may power the recorder with four “D” size batteries. For adequate performance and battery life, use alkaline batteries. The recorder operates full time on battery power alone for up to one month when using fresh alkaline batteries. When replacing batteries, we recommend that you use Duracell MN1300 “D” size batteries for long life and for best performance at low temperatures.
To install the batteries (refer to Figure 2-5):

1. Open the control panel door.
2. Turn the power switch to the OFF or “O” position.
3. Place the recorder on a soft surface front face down. Locate the battery compartment at the bottom.
4. Open the battery compartment door by pressing down firmly on the tabs located along the top edge.
5. Remove the battery door.
6. Install the batteries, oriented as shown in Figure 2-5, in the battery compartment.
7. To replace the battery door, first place the bottom edge of the door into the positioning slots in the compartment.
8. Push down on the door to snap the tabs in place.
The recorder continuously monitors the battery voltage. A “LO BAT” indication in the upper left-hand corner of the main LCD (refer to Figure 2-6) indicates that only one to two weeks of reliable battery operation remain, and that the batteries need replacing within this time frame. Also, if the unit is operating under battery power and the battery voltage is too low to permit reliable operation, the system shuts down and displays “---” in the LCD. The
system may be restarted by changing the batteries or by the re-initiation of ac power. If ac power fails, the circuitry will attempt to automatically switch to battery backup. If viable battery power is available, the system will operate on battery power until the batteries fail or ac power returns. When ac power returns, the recorder will automatically reset itself (refer to Section 8.5).
Figure 2-6. Battery Warnings
2.3.2 Connecting ac Power
The recorder can be ac powered using the 9Vdc, 1Amp ac adaptor supplied. The ac power jack is located on the right side of the unit (refer to Figure 1-1, item #6.). Make sure the power switch on the control panel (refer to Figure 1-1, item #7) is in the OFF or “O” position when plugging in the ac adaptor. The adaptor cable is 6 feet (2 meters) long.

2.4 Installing the Chart Paper
The recorder accepts six different types of chart paper. Charts are available for 1, 7 and 32 day recording times in both Fahrenheit or Celsius versions. Although chart paper replacing is very simple, you must take care to set the appropriate front panel switches for the paper being used. Set the chart type and °C/°F switches (refer to Figure 2-7) to the following positions for these six (6) modes of operation.
Chart Type Switch (Days) C/F Switch Paper Type

2.5 Installing and Removing Pens
2.5.1 Installing the Pens
The recorder uses two different colored pens to record information. The red (upper) pen records temperature. The blue (lower) pen records relative humidity. Pen life varies with use and climate. Under normal operating conditions, pens last at least one month. We recommend that you install a fresh set of pens after every month of use.
To install pens:
1. Make sure the power switch on the front panel is in the OFF or “O” position. The front panel is located under the control panel door. The recorder door should be closed too.
The control panel door opens easily by gently gripping the recessed area at the right side and slowly pulling down.
2. Examine the location of the pen arms through the window in the recorder door. a. If the pen arms are offset as shown in Figure 2-10, continue to Step 3:
