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 24 channels.

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, /A3, /A4, and /A5 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.

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 RD100B0/RD1800B Communication Interface User’s Manual (IM
04P01B01-17E) on the CD-ROM.

Other Main Functions

The computation function (/M1 option) can be used to perform various computations from
four arithmetic operations to statistical calculations on 8 and 24 computation channels on
the pen model and dot model, respectively. The computed results can be recorded.
The remote control function (/R1 option) can be used to control the start/stop and other
operations of the recorder by applying contact signals to the dedicated terminals.
The FAIL/chart end detection and output function (/F1 option) can be used to output
contact signals when errors are detected on the recorder or when the chart paper runs
out.

Number of Measurement Channels and Scan Interval

The recorder samples the input signals on the measurement channels at the scan
interval to obtain the measured values.

Model Num. of Ch. Scan Interval

1-pen model 1 125 ms
2-pen model 2 125 ms
3-pen model 3 125 ms
4-pen model 4 125 ms
6-dot model 6 1 s (2.5 s when the integration time of the A/D converter is 100 ms.)
12-dot model 12 2.5 s (5 s when the integration time of the A/D converter is 100 ms.)
18-dot model 18 2.5 s (10 s when the integration time of the A/D converter is 100 ms.)
24-dot model 24 2.5 s (10 s when the integration time of the A/D converter is 100 ms.)

Input Type, Measurable Range, and Computation

The recorder can measure the following types of inputs.

Input Type Measurable Range

DC voltage DC voltage in the range of ±20 mV to ± 50 V
1-5V See “1-5V” below.
Thermocouple Temperature range corresponding to each type: R, S, B, K, E, J, T, N, W, L, U,

RTD Temperature range corresponding to each type: Pt100Ω and JPt100Ω
ON/OFF input Contact input: Open contact is OFF (0). Closed contact is ON (1).

and WRe

Voltage input: Less than 2.4 V is OFF (0). Greater than or equal to 2.4 V is ON (1)

• 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.

The input values are scaled to values in the appropriate unit to be used as measured
values.

• 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.

Note

For 1-5V, a burnout occurs when the input value is less than or equal to 0.2 V.

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.

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.

Model Integration Time of the A/D Converter

Pen model Select 16.7 ms (60 Hz), 20 ms (50 Hz), or Auto

Dot model Select 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 varies depending on the integration time setting
(see page 1-2).

1.3 Alarms

This function generates an alarm when the measured data meets a certain condition.
The alarm occurrence/release can be recorded on the chart paper. The alarm status can
be displayed on the screen.
Also, alarm output relays can be used to output contact signals when alarms occur (/A1,
/A2, /A3, /A4, and /A5 options).

1.3 Alarms

• Delay High Limit Alarm (T)

An alarm occurs when the measured value remains above the alarm value for a
specified time period (alarm delay period).

• Delay Low Limit Alarm (t)

• 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, /A3, /A4, and /A5 Options)

Contact signals can be generated from alarm output relays when alarms occur. The
number of output relays is 2 (/A1), 4 (/A2), 6 (/A3), 12 (/A4), or 24 (/A5). The alarm
output relays are denoted as I01 to I06, I11 to I16, I21 to I26, and I31 to I36 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).

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 are assigned to each set (channels 01-06, 07-12, 13-18, and 19-

24) of six channels in ascending order as follows: purple, red, green, blue, brown, and
black. The recording color of each channel can be changed among these six colors.

2-1

2.2 Installation

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

the case. (Remove the seal that is covering the holes for the mounting
brackets beforehand.)

• The proper torque for tightening the mounting screws is 0.7 to 0.9 Nm.

• Mount the recorder to the panel according to the procedure below.

• First, attach the two mounting brackets and temporarily fasten the
attachment screws.

• Next, fix the recorder in place by tightening the attachment screws with the
appropriate torque. When the recorder is approximately perpendicular to
the panel as you fasten the screws, press the mounting bracket against the
case so that they are in contact with each other.

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).

2.3 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.

2.4 Optional 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
(for 4 mm screws)

CAUTION

• To prevent fire, use signal wires having a temperature rating of 70°C or more.

• 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.

2.5 Power Supply Wiring

Precautions to Be Taken While Wiring the Power Supply

Make sure to follow the warnings below when wiring the power supply. To prevent
electric shock and damage to the recorder, observe the following warnings.

WARNING

• To prevent electric shock when wiring, ensure the main power supply is turned
OFF.

• To prevent the possibility of fire, use 600 V PVC insulated wire (JISC3307) or an
equivalent wire for power wiring.

• Make sure to earth ground the protective earth terminal through a grounding
resistance less than 100 Ω before turning ON the power.

• Use crimp-on lugs (designed for 4 mm screws) for power and ground wiring
termination.

• To prevent electric shock, make sure to close the transparent cover for the
power supply wires.

• Make sure to provide a power switch (double-pole type) on the power supply
line in order to separate the recorder from the main power supply. Put an
indication on this switch as the breaker on the power supply line for the recorder
and indications of ON and OFF.
Switch specifications

Rated power current: 1 A or more
Rated rush current: 60 A or more
Use a switch complied with IEC 60947-1, 3.

• Connect a fuse between 2 A and 15 A in the power supply line. Use a fuse
approved by CSA (for the use in North America) or VDE (for the use in Europe).

• Do not add a switch or fuse to the ground line.

2

Before Using the Recorder

Use a power supply that meets the following conditions:

Item Power Supply Specifications

Rated supply voltage 100 to 240 VAC

Allowable power supply voltage range 90 to 132/180 to 264 VAC

• If the input wires are connected in parallel with other devices, do not turn ON/OFF the power

switch of the recorder or another device during operation. This can have adverse effects on

the measured values.

• If nothing is displayed when the power switch is turned ON, turn OFF the power switch and

check the points listed above one more time. After checking the points, turn ON the power

switch again. If the unit still does not work, it is probably malfunctioning. Contact OMEGA for

repairs.

• If an error message is displayed on the screen, take measures according to the description in

chapter 10, “Troubleshooting.”

• Turn ON the power switch, let the recorder warm up for at least 30 minutes, and then start the

measurements.

Chapter 4 Common Operations for Setting Functions and Setup Guide

4.1 Run 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.
