hazard.

Defect of Protective Grounding

Do not operate the instrument when the protective grounding or the fuse might
be defective. Also, make sure to check them before operation.

Fuse (for 12 VDC Power Model)

To prevent fire, only use a fuse that has a rating (voltage, current, and type) that
is specified by the instrument. When replacing a fuse, turn OFF the power
switch and unplug the power cord. Never short the fuse holder.

Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable liquids or vapors.
Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a
safety hazard.

Do Not Remove Covers

Some areas inside the instrument have high voltages. Do not remove the cover

1.1 Overview of the RD-MV100

Unlike conventional recorders that record data on charts, the RD-MV100 displays the
measured data acquired in the internal memory to a LCD in the form of waveforms,
numerical values, and bar graphs. The measured data can also be saved to external
storage media such as floppy disks, Zip disks, and ATA flash memory cards.

The data that have been saved to an external storage medium can be displayed on a PC
using the standard software that comes with the package. The data can also be loaded
into the RD-MV100 to be displayed.
By using the Ethernet interface that comes standard with the RD-MV100, the data can
be transferred to a server on a network (client function). The data stored on the RD­MV100’s external storage medium can also be read from a PC on the network (server
function).

1.2 Functions of the Input Section

Number of Measurement Channels/Scan Interval

The number of measurement channels and scan intervals for different models are listed
in the table below. For the procedure related to setting the scan interval, see section 5.9.

Model Number of Measurement Channels Scan Interval

RD-MV102 2 channels 125 ms or 250 ms
RD-MV104 4 channels 125 ms or 250 ms
RD-MV106 6 channels 1 s or 2 s
RD-MV112 12 channels 1 s or 2 s

Input Type and Computation

You can select the input type of a measurement channel from DC voltage, thermocouple,
resistance temperature detector (RTD), and ON/OFF input (contact signal or voltage
signal). You can also perform computation on the measured data such as the
“difference,” “square root,” and “scaling.”
The input type and computation are configured as an “input mode” on the RD-MV100.
For the procedure related to setting the different modes, see sections 5.1 to 5.7.

Input Mode Notation*1Description

DC voltage Volt Measures a DC voltage in the range ±20 mV to ±20 V.
Thermocouple TC Measures the temperature corresponding to the appropriate

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

“RTD,” or “ON/OFF input,” the value obtained by subtracting
the measured value of another channel (this channel is
called a “reference channel”) from the input signal of the
channel set to compute the difference is displayed as the
measured value of that channel.

of the input signal of the channel set to compute the square
root is displayed as the measured value of that channel.
The computed result can be scaled to a value in the
appropriate unit and displayed.

“RTD,” or “ON/OFF input,” the input signal can be converted
to a value in the appropriate unit desired and displayed.

*1 Notation used by the RD-MV100 to represent the input modes. It is used when setting the

measurement channels.
*2 This is optional.
*3 This item defines the type of signals that can be connected to the input terminal when the

input mode is set to “Difference,” “Square root,” or “Scaling.” The description of the input

types, “DC voltage,” “Thermocouple,” “Resistive temperature detector,” and “ON/OFF input,”

are the same as the descriptions given for the input modes, “DC voltage,” “Thermocouple,”

“Resistive temperature detector,” and “ON/OFF input,” respectively.

1.2 Functions of the Input Section

If the signal to be measured is a DC current, a shunt resistance is attached to the input
terminal to convert the current signal to a voltage signal. The input mode is set to “DC
voltage” in this case. For the various types of shunt resistors and the procedure related
to setting the current input, see section 5.1.

Input Range and Measurable Range

You can select the “Input range” that is appropriate for the input signal for “DC voltage,”
“Thermocouple,” “RTD,” and “ON/OFF input.” (For example, R, S, B, K, E, J, T, N, W, L,
and U are available input ranges for “Thermocouple.”) For each “Input range,” a
measurable range is defined (for example, the measurable range for /R of
“Thermocouple” is “0.0°C to 1760°C”). For details, see section 14.1.

Burnout

When measuring temperature using a thermocouple and the thermocouple burns out,
you can specify the measurement result to be set to positive over range or negative over
range. Burnout can be set on each measurement channel. The initial setting is set so
that burnout is not indicated. For the setting procedure, see section 5.9.
*1 Positive over range is a condition in which the input signal is over the upper limit of

the measurable range. The measured value is indicated as “+

*2 Negative over range is a condition in which the input signal is below the lower limit of

the measurable range. The measured value is indicated as “–

Reference Junction Compensation (RJC)

When measuring the temperature using a thermocouple, the reference junction
compensation can be used. You can select whether to use the reference junction
compensation provided by the recorder or external reference junction compensation. If
you are using external reference junction compensation, you will also set the reference
voltage. The initial setting is set so that the reference junction compensation provided by
the recorder is used. For the setting procedure, see section 5.9.

Filter and Moving Average

The filter and moving average are used to suppress the effects of noise that is riding on
the signal. Filtering is provided on the RD-MV102 and RD-MV104. Moving average is
provided on the RD-MV106, and RD-MV112. The filter or moving average can be set on
each channel. For the setting procedure, see section 5.8.

Filter function (RD-MV102 and RD-MV104)

Suppresses the effects of noise above the frequency determined by the specified time
constant. The time constant can be set to 2 s, 5 s, or 10 s. The filter is initially turned
OFF.

1.2 Functions of the Input Section

Moving average (RD-MV106, and RD-MV112)

The input signal of the measurement channel is set to the averaged value of the m most
current data points (the number of moving-averaged data points) acquired at the scan
interval. The number of moving-averaged data points can be set in the range 2 to 16.
The moving average is initially turned OFF.
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.”

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 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 eliminated. The integration time of the A/D converter is selected
according to the model from the table below. If “Auto” is selected, the recorder will
automatically detect the power supply frequency and select 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 eliminate
the power frequency noise for either frequency, 50 Hz or 60 Hz. 100 ms is available on
the RD-MV106, and RD-MV112. For the setting procedure, see section 5.9.

Updating the waveform and updating the numerical display

One division on the RD-MV100 consists of 30 dots on the LCD. The displayed waveform
is updated at an interval corresponding to one dot. This interval is determined by the
time period corresponding to one division (referred to as the display update rate). The
relationship between the display update rate and the speed of movement of waveforms
is as follows:

Display Update 1 min 2 min 5 min 10 min 20 min 30 min 1 h 2 h 4 h
Rate (/div)

Speed of movement 594 297 119 59 30 20 10 5 2.5
(approximate value, mm/h)

Note

The speed of movement of the trend display along the time axis is derived from the following

equation given the dot pitch of the LCD (0.33 mm):

The speed of movement of the trend display along the time axis = 30 (dots) × 0.33 (mm) × 60

(min)/display update rate (min)

Measured and computed values are updated every second. However, when the scan
interval on the RD-MV106/RD-MV112 is 2 s, the display update rate is also 2 s.
