Section 1 - Introduction and General Information

This instrument is a microprocessor based circular chart recorder capable of measuring, displaying, and recording
from a variety of inputs. Applications include temperature, level, pressure, flow, and others. The instrument can
be specified as either a one, two, three, or four pen model.

The standard process sensor inputs (up to 8 total inputs) are user configurable to directly connect to and convert
thermocouple, RTD, millivolt, volt, milliamp or contact closure inputs. Thermocouple and RTD linearization, as
well as thermocouple cold junction compensation, are performed automatically. Up to four individually isolated 24
VDC regulated transmitter power supplies are available for transmitter inputs, each providing up to 25 mADC.

Using the optional math capability, mass flow, BTUs, relative humidity, and other derived variables can be calcu­lated, as well as simple math functions performed and custom curve conversions. Optional totalization is avail­able for input values or derived variables. Any recorder value can be treated as a process value, to provide
alarming and special display capability.

Up to 4 variables can be recorded as analog trend lines on chart sizes of 10, 11, or 12 inches in diameter. The
trend lines can be the result of instantaneous values, connecting the values, drag pen, average values, or con­necting the average values. The trend lines can be scaled and positioned on the chart in zones. Trend scales,
units, and a trend tag can be printed in the same color as time lines.

Dates, times, batch numbers, operator IDs, process values, scales and alarm messages can all be printed on the
chart in color.

Definitions for a large number of "Terms and Concepts" described in this manual are included in Appendix C.

1.1 UNP ACKING

1.4 SPECIFICATIONS

DESCRIPTION

The instrument is the first circular chart recorder with the ability to record trend data and print alphanumeric annotation in four
colors. It uses unique "rings only" charts and has the ability to zone and scale trend data. These capabilities not only provide
the best trend data readability, but also instant association with the corresponding scales. Whether it's a basic application of
recording inputs, to a demanding application requiring derived variables, logic functions, totalization, or other capabilities, the

instrument can be supplied with the necessary level of sophistication, while maintaining an uncomplicated operator interface.

MODELS

The instrument is available in versions for trend recording of one to four values. The number of colors can equal the number of
trended values, or all four colors can be provided. The latter option provides the greatest color flexibility and makes it easier to
add trend capability to the instrument in the field. The instrument can have up to eight inputs, and inputs are not directly
associated with trend pens. The instrument can trend any combination of inputs, averages, derived variables, logic states, even

totals. A full compliment of options provides the flexibility to handle virtually any type of application.

FEATURES

• Color chart annotation

• 1, 2, 3 and 4 trend pen versions

• All versions with optional four color capability

• 10", 11", or 12" charts

• Linear scales and radial time lines

• Trend zoning and dual zone capability

• Up to 8 universal inputs

• 40 character, vacuum fluorescent display

• Simultaneous display of up to 4 process values

• Building block approach for flexibility

• Math and equation package with custom curves

• Logic equations for actuators

• 9 digit totalizes

• Chart messages

• Operator inputs

• Operator messages

• Real time clock

• Time and date printed on charts

CONFIGURATION

A multilevel prompting scheme provides rapid access to all configuration data. By model number and selective enabling, the
software displays only those configuration sections needed. The 40 character, vacuum fluorescent display provides true English
language prompts. The 15 key keypad makes moving through the prompts and modifying the parameters intuitive. Multiple
choice selections and use of "quick select keys" simplifies the programming of many parameters. Copy functions make
configuring similar sets of parameters even faster. Two methods of modifying character strings simplifies the entry of English
tags and units. The instrument even displays the proper jumper placement for the installer. The instrument can virtually be
configured without looking at the manual.

OPERATOR INTERFACE

Beyond the configuration capability, the display, keypad, and prompting system provide superior real time data presentation.
The display of each instrument value is configurable and three display formats are available, providing a range from fully
detailed displays with 20 character tags, alarm indications, values, and units, to four process values displayed simultaneously.
Separate keys are used to access the display, chart, and configuration related areas. By selective enabling and password
protection, access to various operational areas of the instrument can be limited or controlled. Some keys can also be config­ured to provide special functions, such as resetting totalizers. The operator interface has been designed to make daily operation
as simple as possible. Changing charts, for example, requires only three keystrokes.

CONSTRUCTION

The instrument is housed in a structural foam moulded enclosure which can be panel or surface mounted. Mounting brackets
are included. Its design allows it to fit into the smallest panel cutout of competitive products, while it covers the largest cutout
of others. Glass and plastic windows are available, along with a cover lock. The standard enclosure carries a NEMA3 rating,
with an optional NEMA4X available.

OPTIONS

The instrument is available with a full compliment of options. Up to eight isolated universal inputs are available with each being
configurable to any of the available input types. Up to four isolated transmitter power supplies can be added. Up to four inputs
or derived variables can be assigned as "process variables", allowing up to four alarms for each. Alarms can be process high or
low, or rate rising or falling. The alarming capability is standard, but the hardware outputs are optional. Up to eight on/off
outputs are available, either relay or solid state relay driver outputs. Besides alarms, any of over eighty other digital values/
states can be used to actuate on/off outputs. Up to two non-isolated analog outputs or up to 4 isolated analog outputs are
available. Any of over twenty values can be used to drive analog outputs (i.e. inputs, derived variables, etc.) Other options
include PC based configuration software and a communications interface.

FIELD UPGRADES

All of items listed in the Options section are easily installed in the field. Typically it involves just adding boards, but possibly
PROMs may need to be changed as well. To add totalizers or the math package, only PROMS must be changed. If the four
color option was purchased, only PROMS need to be changed to expand trend capability, otherwise, a relative costly pen arm

assembly must be replaced as well.

NOTES: The table attempts to show the effect of each significant factor which contributes to the overall measurement error. See the
enumerated items below for more specific explanations of each column of data.

1. Reference Acc'y based on 0.025% (250ppm) of input voltage span.

2. Linearization Acc'y is based on conformance to NIST Monograph 175 (based on the ITS-90) for letter-designated thermocouple types,
or other industry standards for non letter-designated type TCs and all RTDs.

3. Factory Cal is defined by limits of repeatability in a manufacturing environment per the table for zero and span calibrations, and

±

0.15°C for thermocouple cold junction calibrations.

4. The REF + LIN + CAL column represents the total "static" error allowed for an instrument as produced by the manufacturing process.

5. Deviation Acc'y is derived from a temperature coefficient of 0.01%/°C or ± 100ppm/°C expressed in units of the corresponding range.

6. Resolution on thermocouples and RTDs is derived as a function of the input voltage range and dV/dT.

2.2 PREP ARATION FOR WIRING

This product is in conformity with the protection requirements of EU Council Directive 89/336EEC on the approxi­mation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility. The factory cannot accept
responsibility for any failure to satisfy the protection requirements resulting from a non-recommended modification
of this product.

Electrical noise is a phenomenon typical of industrial environments. The following are guidelines that must be
followed to minimize the effect of noise upon any instrumentation.

Installation Considerations
Listed below are some of the common sources of electrical noise in the industrial environment:

• Ignition Transformers

• Arc Welders

• Mechanical contact relay(s)

• Solenoids
Before using any instrument near the devices listed, the instructions below should be followed:

1. If the instrument is to be mounted in the same panel as any of the listed devices, separate them by the largest
distance possible. For maximum electrical noise reduction, the noise generating devices should be mounted
in a separate enclosure.

2. If possible, eliminate mechanical contact relay(s) and replace with solid state relays. If a mechanical relay
being powered by an instrument output device cannot be replaced, a solid state relay can be used to isolate
the instrument.

3. A separate isolation transformer to feed only instrumentation should be considered. The transformer can
isolate the instrument from noise found on the AC power input.

4. If the instrument is being installed on existing equipment, the wiring in the area should be checked to insure
that good practices have been followed.

AC Power Wiring
Earth Ground

The instrument includes noise suppressing components that require an earth ground connection to function. To
verify that a good earth ground is being attached, make a resistance check from the instrument chassis to the
nearest metal water pipe or proven earth ground. This reading should not exceed 100 ohms. Each instrument
should have a dedicated earth ground. Do not chain link multiple instrument ground wires.

Neutral (For 115 VAC)
It is good practice to assure that the AC neutral is at or near ground potential. To verify this, a voltmeter check
between neutral and ground should be performed. On the AC range, the reading should not be more than 50
millivolts. If it is greater than this amount, the secondary of the AC transformer supplying the instrument should
be checked by an electrician. A proper neutral will help ensure maximum performance from the instrument.

Wire Isolation/Segregation
The instrument is designed to promote proper separation of the wiring groups that connect to the instrument. The
AC power wire terminals are located near the bottom of the power supply board. The analog signal terminals are
located near the bottom of the instrument boards. Maintain this separation of the wires to insure the best protec­tion from electrical noise. If the wires need to be run parallel with any other wiring type(s), maintain a minimum 6
inch space between the wires. If wires must cross each other, do so at 90 degrees to minimize the contact with
each other and reduce cross talk. Cross talk is due to the electro magnetic field induced by a wire as current
passes through it.

Section 2

2-3

Edition 3

Rev G

Use of Shielded Cable
Shielded cable helps eliminate electrical noise being induced on the wires. All analog signals should be run with
shielded cable. Connection lead length should be kept as short as possible, keeping the wires protected by the
shielding. The shield should be grounded at one end only. The preferred grounding location is at the sensor,
transmitter or transducer.

Noise Suppression at the Source
Usually, when good wiring practices are followed, no further noise protection is necessary. Sometimes in severe
electrical environments, the amount of noise is so great that it has to be suppressed at the source. Many manu­facturers of relays, contactors, etc. supply "surge suppressors" which mount on the noise source.

For those devices that do not have surge suppressors supplied, RC (resistance capacitance) networks and/or
MOV (metal oxide varistors) may be added.

Inductive Coils - MOV's are recommended for transient suppression in inductive coils connected in parallel and as
close as possible to the coil. See Figure 2-2 (below). Additional protection may be provided by adding an RC
network across the MOV.

Contacts - Arcing may occur across contacts when the contact opens and closes. This results in electrical noise
as well as damage to the contacts. Connecting a RC network properly sized can eliminate this arc.

For circuits up to 3 amps, a combination of a 47 ohm resistor and a 0.1 microfarad capacitor (1000 volts) is
recommended. For circuits from 3 to 5 amps, connect 2 of these in parallel. See Figure 2-3 (below).

Sensor Placement (Thermocouple or RTD)
Thermocouple lead resistance should not exceed 300 ohms. If this is exceeded, instrument accuracy could be
affected.

Two wire RTD's should be used only with lead lengths less than 10 feet.
If the temperature probe is to be subjected to corrosive or abrasive conditions, it should be protected by the

appropriate thermowell. The probe should be positioned to reflect true process temperature:

In liquid media - the most agitated area
In air - the best circulated area

2.3 WIRING CONNECTIONS - INPUTS

All wiring connections are typically made to the instrument at the time of installation. Connections should be
made at the terminal blocks, one 14 gauge wire maximum, using copper conductors except for thermocouple
inputs. See Figure 2-4 (below) for the terminal block locations. The recommended torque for the AC Mains
connector on the power supply board is 113oz-ins and the recommended torque for all other connectors in the
unit is 85oz-ins.

The instrument case may have numerous conduit openings, EC1 - EC6, depending upon the number of inputs
and outputs specified (EC5 and EC6 are not included on all models). To help minimize electrical noise that may
adversely affect the operation of the instrument, do not run input and/or 4-20mA output connections through the
same conduit entry as relay or power supply connections. See Figure 2-1B (page 2-2) for conduit opening
locations.

2.3.1 SHIPPED CONFIGURATION/JUMPER POSITIONING

Each instrument is factory shipped with all parameters set to default values. These defaults are shown in the
"display" box for each parameter in Section 4.

Jumpers are used to condition the sensor inputs. All jumpers are located on the Input Board(s). The instrument is
shipped from the factory with these jumpers configured as follows:

JU1 IF FITTED UPSCALE BREAK
JU2 Non-Contact Closure Input
JU3 T/C, mV, 0/1V, Switch, mA

JU4 IF FITTED UPSCALE BREAK
JU5 Non-Contact Closure Input
JU6 T/C, mV, 0/1V, Switch, mA

JU7 WIDE SPAN
JU8 WIDE SPAN
JU11 IF FITTED Non-RTD
JU12 IF FITTED Non-RTD
JU15 Non-mA
JU16 Non-mA

There are 2 additional jumpers per Input Board that are used for ID. These must be positioned as shown in Table
2-1 below as per their location inside the instrument. Board 1 is the bottom board.

If any board is removed from the instrument in a multiple stack of boards, it MUST BE installed in the correct
sequence or these jumpers MUST BE moved. If not installed correctly, calibration will be affected.

2.3.2 SENSOR BREAK and OUT-OF-RANGE DETECTION

Sensor break and out-of-range conditions are determined and handled by the software. When either occurs, the
software will drive the input value to +99999 or -99999 based upon whether SENSOR BREAK is software config­ured for UPSCALE or DOWN SCALE in Input Configuration. Any outputs will react accordingly. Out-of-range is
defined as being more than 5% out of the span established by RANGE LIMIT LOW and RANGE LIMIT HIGH.

For 5 or 10 Volt and Current inputs, the analog signal goes to zero when there is a sensor break, due to voltage
divider or shunt resistors. For sensor break detection to work on these input types, the INPUT RANGE LOW
(analog signal low) and/or RANGE LIMIT LOW (engineering units low) parameters must be set high enough such
that at zero volts/mA, the resultant value will be at least 5% below the span established by RANGE LIMIT LOW
and RANGE LIMIT HIGH.

Section 3 - The Basics of Recorder Operation

3.1 POWER-UP

After proper installation, the following will occur when power is applied:

• All segments in the vacuum fluorescent display will light, then

• All the display LEDs will light, then

• The instrument tag and the current time and date will appear.
When completed, the instrument begins normal display mode as configured in Display Programming and configu-

ration.

3.2 INSTRUMENT MODES

The instrument incorporates a multilevel prompting scheme. The Display, Chart and Scroll keys are used to gain
access to each of the three prompting sections of the unit. When the instrument is not in one of the prompt
sections, it is considered to be in the Normal Display mode.

3.2.1 NORMAL DISPLAY

The Normal Display is the normal operator mode for the recorder and display. In Normal Display, the instrument
can provide various displays of Instrument Tag/Time/Date, Input Values, Derived Values, Process Values, and
other values that may be added to the Display Sequence in Configuration. In Normal Display the instrument may
be in Sequential (automatic advance) or Continuous (manual advance) display mode.

3.2.2 DISPLA Y PROMPTS

The Display Prompts provides access to all display related configuration functions and operator inputs. The
Display Prompts section contains only one level.

3.2.3 CHART PROMPTS

The Chart Prompts provides access to all chart related configuration functions and also the prompts for changing
the chart.

The Chart Prompts section contains two levels. With CHART CONFIGURATION displayed, the Down Arrow key
will access that section of prompts, which will be one level down. While in CHART CONFIGURATION, the Scroll
and Left Arrow keys will move through the parameter choices, and the Up Arrow key will return to the previous
level, which will be one level up.

3.2.4 SYSTEM PROMPTS

The Select System Prompts provides access to alarm settings, enables/passwords, configuration/setup, test,
calibration, etc.

The System Prompts section contains up to two levels. For example, with CONFIGURATION displayed, the
Down Arrow key will access the next level of prompts, where INPUTS can be selected. With INPUTS displayed,
the Down Arrow key will access the next level of prompts, where the input parameters can be accessed. Pressing
the Up Arrow key would return to the previous level, INPUTS, and pressing the Up Arrow key again would return
to the previous level, CONFIGURATION, and pressing the UP Arrow key again would return to the Normal Display
mode.

Prompts.

3.3.2 CHART KEY

(CHART)

While in Normal Display, the Chart key initiates the Chart Prompts and is used to step through the Chart Prompts.

3.3.3 SCROLL KEY

While in Normal Display, the Scroll key initiates the System Prompts. While in any prompt section, the Scroll key
advances through the choices of other prompt sections or parameters and settings, at the current level. The
Scroll key is also used to move the cursor to the right while in Modify.

3.3.4 ARROW KEYS

• While in Normal Display with the Sequential Display active, the arrow keys will cause no action.

• While in Normal Display with the Continuous Display active, the Up or Down Arrow keys will step backward or
forward through items in the Display Sequence.

• While in any prompt section the Left Arrow and Scroll keys will step backward and forward through the
selections at that level. The selections wrap around at the ends. The Down Arrow key steps down (or forward)
one level. The Up Arrow key steps up (or backward) one level. If the prompting is at the top (or first) level, the
Up Arrow key will return the unit to Normal Display.

• The Arrow keys repeat, when held down, every half second after the first second.

• The unit remembers the path taken through the System and Display prompts. That is, by returning to Normal
Display by successive depressions of the Up Arrow key, the operator can return to the same point by entering
the corresponding prompts section and successive depressions of the Down Arrow key.

3.3.5 RESET KEY

(RESET - special key located on lower left)
While in a prompt section, the Reset key returns the unit to Normal Display and resets the path pointers to the
initial conditions.

3.3.6 ESCAPE KEY

• Pressing the ENTER key will exit Modify and the new value will be displayed and entered into memory.

3.3.7 SPECIAL KEYS

(five keys located below the display)
While in the Multiple Choice Selection, the Special keys are used to select 1 of up to 5 choices from a choice line
displayed directly above each key.

Rev G

3-2

Section 3Edition 3

3.4 CHANGING PARAMETER SETTINGS - MODIFY

There are three types of parameters in the instrument: values (numbers), text strings (groups of characters), and
choices (selections made by picking one of a group of displayed descriptions).

With a modifiable parameter description and its setting displayed, pressing the MOD key places the unit in
Modify where the setting can be modified.

3.4.1 CHANGING V ALUES

If the setting is a value (number), the cursor will be positioned on the right-most digit. The LEFT ARROW and
SCROLL keys will move the cursor left or right. The UP and DOWN keys will increment or decrement the value
with rollover and rollunder through all digits to the left of the cursor. Pressing the ESC key exits Modify, no
change being made to the original value. Pressing the ENTER key exits Modify and the new value will be
displayed and entered into memory.

3.4.2 CHANGING TEXT

There are two ways to change or modify text. The first, Character Modify, is accessed by the initial pressing of
the MOD key, and the second, Character Selection, is accessed by pressing the MOD key while being in the
Character Modify mode. Each has its benefits, and you may prefer to use one or both methods, depending on
the modification to be made. Pressing the RESET key after pressing the MOD key will clear all characters from
the curser to the right.

• If the setting is text ( e.g. units, tag, etc.), the text will be left justified and the cursor will be positioned on the
left-most character. The LEFT ARROW and SCROLL keys will move the cursor left or right.

• In Character Modify, the UP and DOWN ARROW keys change the character by scrolling through a list or string
of available characters. The LEFT ARROW and SCROLL keys will move the cursor left and right to allow chang­ing another character. Pressing the MOD key enters Character Selection. Pressing the ESC key exits Modify, no
change being made to the string. Pressing the ENTER key exits Modify and the new string will be displayed and
entered into memory.

• In Character Selection, depressing the MOD key twice will initiate Character Selection. The character to be
changed (on the lower line) will be replaced by the "block" character (all dots lit), and the upper display line will
show a character selection line, instead of the parameter description. The character selection line which contains
the current character will be displayed with the cursor positioned on the current character. The LEFT ARROW
and SCROLL keys will move the cursor left and right on the current character selection line. The UP and DOWN
ARROW keys will change the line of characters displayed for selection. Once the cursor is positioned on the
desired character, pressing the MOD key will store the desired character in the lower line, the "block" character
will move to the next position on the second line, and the character selection line which contains the next charac­ter will be displayed with the cursor positioned on that character.

• While in Character Selection, pressing the ESC key exits Character Selection and returns the unit to Character
Modify where selection of another character may be made or pressing the ESC key again exits Modify.

• While in Character Selection, pressing the ENTER key after modifying a character will exit Character Selection
and the new string will be displayed and entered into memory.

3.4.3 CHANGING CHOICES

• If the setting is a YES/NO choice, the YES/NO choice line will be displayed and the current choice will blink.
The LEFT ARROW and SCROLL keys will switch the selection between YES and NO. Selecting the choice and
pressing ENTER will exit Modify and the new setting will be displayed and entered into memory. Some YES/NO
parameter choices are initialized to NO. When changed to YES, the unit may automatically advance to the next
parameter upon depression of the ENTER key.

(Continued on next page)

Section 3

3-3

Edition 3

Rev G

• If the setting is one of a list of choices, the choice line containing the current choice will be displayed and the
current choice will blink. If multiple choices are displayed, the LEFT ARROW or SCROLL keys will move the
selection to the left or right. If all choices are not displayed at once, due to multiple choice lines, the UP ARROW
key will step backward to the previous choice line, or the DOWN ARROW key will step forward to the next choice
line. Pressing the ESC key will exit Modify and the original setting will be displayed, no change being made to it.
Pressing the ENTER key will exit Modify and the new setting will be displayed and entered into memory.

• A choice line may offer 1 through 5 choices. Pressing the Special key located directly below the desired choice,
will select and enter that choice into memory.

3.4.4 COPY/INITIALIZE

A COPY/INITIALIZE capability is available with some parameter sections. If COPY is selected, the unit automati­cally goes into Modify on its associated value and uses its associated number as an index and copies data from
one set of elements into the current set of elements. If the associated number is set to zero, the factory default
values are stored into the selected set of elements (INITIALIZE). The COPY function applies to all parameter
entries following it until the next non-parameter entry.

3.4.5 P ASSWORDS

Where PASSWORDS apply, they are not displayed if the current value of the password is zero. If PASSWORDS
are not zero, and the value is set to the correct password, the unit automatically proceeds to the next parameter
entry. If PASSWORDS are not zero, and the value is set to the incorrect password, the message "INVALID
PASSWORD" will appear in the upper display.

3.4.6 ENABLES

If Chart Prompts is DISABLED, when the CHART key is pressed, the message "CHART KEY DISABLED" will
appear in the lower display. If Display Prompts is DISABLED, when the DISP key is pressed, "DISPLAY KEY
DISABLED" will appear in the lower display. If other parameters are DISABLED, their corresponding prompts will
not be displayed.

3.5 THE DISPLA Y

During normal operation, the display shows data according to the setup determined by the settings in Display and
Configuration prompts.

The display has 2 lines of 20 characters with 8 status indicators.
The display may be configured as continuous or sequential, as well as 1 value at a time, 2 values at a time, or 4

PVs at a time. Refer to Section 3.7 for details.

3.6 GENERAL

After completing installation and wiring of the instrument, the configuration procedures must be performed to
prepare the instrument for operation on the intended application. The procedures include selecting specific
prompts/parameters, entering data and possible jumper positioning. Once properly configured the instrument will
retain the selections in memory. Not all selections are applicable for every recorder.

Note: Before configuring, it is recommended that the Software Reference/Record Sheets (found at the
end of this section) be completely filled in.

Parameter selections and data entry are made via the keypad. To ease configuration and operation, user entered
data has been divided up into three sections referred to as Main Prompts. The three are: System, Display, and
Chart. Each prompt contains different type of data; chart for the chart, Display for the Display, and System, as
follows:

CONFIGURATION--ACTION TIME SETTINGS--ALARM SETTINGS--ENABLES/PASSWORDS--TEST-­CALIBRATION--MODEL/REV

3-4

Rev G

Section 3Edition 3

ACTION TIME Selections made in action time settings are used to generate actuators that are true/false
SETTINGS based on times and/or dates.

ALARM SETTING Selections made in alarm settings determine the setpoint of each alarm configured.
ENABLES/ Selections made in enables/passwords provide means of enabling or disabling certain

PASSWORDS prompts or selections AND provides additional security with the use of 6 digit passwords

restricting access to Chart, Display, Enables/Passwords and MAIN Prompts

selections.
CONFIGURATION Selections made in configuration set up the instrument for proper operation.
TEST Routines used to test the relays and chart.
CALIBRATION Routines used to calibrate the instrument.
MODEL/REV Deciphered to determine whether certain prompts or sections are shown/displayed and

revision of the software.

3.7 DISPLAY DETAILS

The instrument will spend most of the time in Normal Display. When in Normal Display, it can provide various
displays of instrument tag, input values, simulated values, derived values, process values, and other values that
may be added to the Display Sequence in Configuration, or it may display active operator messages. In Normal
Display, the instrument can also be in one of two conditions, Sequential or Continuous Display.

The display provides upper case letters only, with a few exceptions for engineering units.
The following is the format for the instrument tag and times and dates:
tag hh - hours

hh:mm aa bb/cc/yy mm - minutes

aa - AM or PM if not 24 hour
bb - month if MM:DD:YY format

day if DD:MM:YY format

cc - day if MM:DD:YY format

month if DD:MM:YY format

yy - year

- global alarm indicator
or for the third date format

tag
hh:mm aa dd mmm yy dd - day

mmm - month in 3 character format

For Instrument tag, the "tag" is the INSTRUMENT TAG from the INSTRUMENT SETTINGS prompts section, and
for ACTION TIME SETTINGS, the "tag" is TIME 1 TAG or TIME 2 TAG from the ACTION TIME SETTINGS
prompts section.

With Continuous Display active, the instrument continuously displays a single step of the Display Sequence for all
input, simulated, derived, and process values that have their Display Option set to "IN CONTINUOUS MODE" or

"IN BOTH MODES". The UP and DOWN keys will step backward or forward through the list.

3.8 CHART DETAILS

The CHART TYPE is user selectable from one of three choices:

1. RINGS/LINES/SCALES preprinted
Rings - concentric rings
Lines - time lines
Scales - scale numbers

2. RINGS AND TIME LINES preprinted

3. RINGS ONLY preprinted

The RECORDING METHOD choices, user selectable per pen are as follows, using a 24 hour rotation for ex­ample, with spokes recorded every 24 seconds.

1. INSTANTANEOUS VALUES - records the instantaneous value at 24 second intervals.

2. CONNECT THE VALUES - records the instantaneous value at 24 second intervals, but includes dots
between successive values.

3. DRAG - MIN TO MAX - records the minimum and maximum values during the 24 second interval and
includes dots between the values.

4. AVERAGE VALUES - records the average of the values during the 24 second interval.

5. CONNECT THE AVERAGES - records the average of the values during the 24 second interval, but
includes dots between successive averages.

Major time lines are printed as a series of dots, with noticeable spacing, and extend from the inner chart ring to
the outer chart ring. The number of major time lines printed on the chart is determined by the MAJOR TIME
PERIODS parameter in the CHART CONFIGURATION prompts section. The color of the major time line is
programmable.

Scale lines are printed as a series of dots, closely spaced to form a solid line, and are printed only in the area of
the chart (zone or portion of chart span) used for the respective trend line. The scale lines are printed on top of
major time lines. The number of scale lines printed on the chart is determined by the MAJOR TIME PERIODS
parameter, the number of BLANK MAJOR TIME PERIODS, and the number of trend lines being recorded. The
color of the scale line is the same as the respective trend line.

Minor time lines are printed as a series of dots, with spacing greater than major time lines and extend from the
inner chart ring to the outer chart ring. The number of minor time lines printed on the chart between the major
time lines is determined by the MINOR TIME PERIODS parameter in the CHART CONFIGURATION prompts
section and is one less than the number of periods selected.

Trends can be zoned into two different areas to allow for higher resolution on one end of the recorded span. The
recorded area used on the chart for a trend may not necessarily use the entire area available for recording.

Engineering unit values are printed next to the corresponding scale lines. The ZONE 1 LOW DIVISION param­eter in RECORDERS section of CONFIGURATION specifies the position on the chart corresponding to the
bottom of zone 1 and the ZONE 1 HIGH DIVISION parameter specifies the position on the chart corresponding to
the top of zone 1 (and the bottom of zone 2 if zone 2 is used). The ZONE 2 HIGH DIVISION parameter specifies
the position on the chart corresponding to the top of zone 2, with zero specifying that zone 2 is not used.

The SPAN 1 LOW parameter specifies the value corresponding to the bottom of zone 1 and SPAN 1 HIGH
parameter specifies the value corresponding to the top of zone 1 and bottom of zone 2 (if used). The SPAN 2
HIGH parameter specifies the value corresponding to the top of zone 2. If the zone 2 parameter is zero, zone 2
is inactive or not used.

The DIVISION parameters specify location relative to the CHART DIVISIONS parameter (or number of chart
rings), which corresponds to the usable recording span of the chart.

The SCALE INTERVAL parameters specify the number of divisions between printed scale values. The values
printed are calculated by the instrument. If the SCALE INTERVAL parameter is zero, no scale is printed, but the
recorder tag will be printed.

Values corresponding to the bottom of the recordable area are located slightly upscale so that they are printable.
Values corresponding to the top of the recordable area are located slightly downscale so that they do not interfere
with the time and date. All other values are centered vertically on the corresponding concentric circle.

The UNITS that are configured for display are printed next to the outermost scale value.
The RECORDER TAG for each recorded trend is printed underneath the outermost scale value.
The CHART TAG, time, and date are printed just beyond the recording area, at successive major time lines as

follows:

On 10" and 12" Charts:
CHART TAG TIME DA TE TIME

On 1 1" Charts:
CHART TAG DATE CHART TAG DATE
TIME TIME TIME TIME

The color of the scale line, scale values, units, and recorder tag always correspond to the trend for which they
apply.

The color of the major time lines, minor time lines, time, and date/chart tag are each programmable.

3.8.1 CHART PRINTING INTERRUPTIONS

When chart printing is interrupted momentarily, the printing resumes as though no interruption had occurred.
If the interruption lasts beyond the point at which data should have been printed, the chart will advance to the

appropriate point, printing minor and major time lines as needed, and resume trending.
If the interruption lasts long enough such that no data would be printed between successive major time divisions,

the divisions will not be printed.
When power is restored, the chart is marked with an arrow (" ê") to indicate the point of power interuption.

3.8.2 NEW CHART PRINTING REQUIREMENTS

The following ACTION ON NEW CHART options are provided:

NONE - JUST CONTINUE
PRINT RANGE LIST
PRINT SCALES

The following example illustrates the format used if PRINT RANGE LIST has been configured. This method
would be selected to reduce the time between chart installation and initial trend recording. This Range List
corresponds to the example found at the end of this section.

Line Print Description Color
1 FLOW #1 Recorder Tag Black
2 0/400 GPM Span, Units Black
3 TEMP #1 Recorder Tag Blue
4 20/120 *F NL Span, Units Blue
5 PH #1 Recorder Tag Green
6 0/14 PH NL Span, Units Green
7 ALARM #1 Recorder Tag Red
8 0/1 NL Span, Units Red

If the scale is other than a simple 0 to 100% of chart with one zone, "NL" will follow the units to indicate non
linear.

If PRINT SCALES has been configured, the instrument will proceed to print, as needed per the chart format, time
lines, scale lines, scale values, units and recorder tag for each recording pen which is configured. The time, date,
and chart tag will not be printed during this process. The chart will be advanced to the correct position for the
next time line after the completion of printing for each recording pen.

Upon completion of PRINT RANGE LIST or PRINT SCALES, if configured, the instrument is ready to begin
trending. Trending will not begin if the instrument status has been set to OFF or the chart has been stopped.

When the instrument first begins trending after a new chart has been installed, it will print, as needed per the
chart format, time lines, scale lines, scale values, units, and recorder tag for each recording pen until it reaches
the position corresponding to the current time. If the instrument status has not been set to off and the chart
has not been stopped by other than the chart being full, historical trend data will also be included. The
time, date, and chart tag will be printed during this process. At this point, the instrument will begin the normal
recording process and marks the chart on the outer ring with an arrow(" ¨") to indicate where the trend began.

3.8.3 EXAMPLE CHART

Figure 3-2 (page 3-12) illustrates the typical data presentation for a 12" chart. The "recorder" trends are referred
to by number in this illustration for black and white reproduction.

Refer to Table 3-1 (page 3-10) and Table 3-2 (page 3-11) for the corresponding recorder configuration/program­ming data. For this example, the instrument has four inputs as follows:

1 Raw Flow Value
2 Temperature
3 Pressure
4pH

The value recorded on Pen 1 is a derived value; flow corrected for temperature and pressure. The derived value
is also converted to a process value for alarming.

(Continued on next page)

Section 3

3-9

Edition 3

Rev G

The value recorded on Pen 2 is the temperature, zoned to record 20 to 120 on the lower 10% of the chart, and
120 to 210 on the upper 90% of the chart.

The value recorded on Pen 3 is the pH, input 4 zoned to record 0 to 14 on the upper 70% of the chart.
The value recorded on Pen 4 is the status of alarm A11, zoned to record 0 or 1 at 70% or 80% of the chart.
Input 3, the pressure, is used in the derived value, but not recorded.

3.10 QUICK START PROCEDURE

This procedure can be used for starting up the recorder at the very basic level of recording inputs or to quickly
familiarize yourself with the basic configuration process. A large number of default parameters are utilized and
the default conditions are assumed. Please refer to the balance of Section 4 for important details on how to get
full use of the instruments capabilities.

To use this procedure you should have already jumper configured at least one input (see Section 2 - Installation
and Wiring), or be willing to use the factory settings of Thermocouple, Wide Span and Upscale Break protection.
The marker pen assembly should also be installed, see Section 2 for installation instructions.

Connect a sensor or input signal source to the primary input that matches the type of hardware configured on the
input board. If the input is configured as a thermocouple, you can simply install a wire between the input connec­tions and the unit will indicate the temperature inside the instrument.

To perform Quick Start you will need to configure the Input Value, Recorder Pen, Chart, and Display.

Input Value Configuration

Step 1
From a power-up state, depress the SCROLL key until CONFIGURATION shows in the lower line display (the
upper line display will show SELECT). With CONFIGURATION in the lower line display, use the DOWN key, then
SCROLL key to select INPUTS. Press the DOWN ARROW key to display INPUT NUMBER. The INPUT NUM­BER must agree with the input to be displayed and recorded. Press the MOD key, use the UP/DOWN arrows to
change the value, and the ENTER key to make the selection.

Step 2
Depress the SCROLL key twice to skip over IVx COPY/INITIALIZE. The display should show IVx DISPLAY TAG.
If you wish to enter a Display Tag, use the MOD key and then the UP/DOWN arrows or MOD key again to enter
the Character Selection, then select characters for the Tag.

Step 3
Depress the SCROLL key to advance to the display, IVx INPUT TYPE/RANGE. The default will be OFF-NO
INPUT. Select MOD to change this and SCROLL to select an input type. Press ENTER to finalize the selection.

Step 4
The Prompts displayed, after the next depression of the SCROLL key will depend on which Input Type/Range
was selected. If Thermocouple or RTD were selected, then the specific type of Thermocouple or RTD will need to
be selected. Use the MOD key to change, then the SCROLL and ENTER keys as before. Degrees C or F can
also be selected after the type of TC or RTD has been specified by pressing the LEFT ARROW or SCROLL key
to choice, then press Enter. If mA, mV, or volt was selected go to step 5, otherwise go to Step 7.

Step 5
Press the SCROLL key to INPUT RANGE LOW (default = 0) and INPUT RANGE HIGH (default = 100). These
two parameters specify the desired analog signal range (4-20mA, 0-100mV) that will be scaled to engineering
units.

Step 6
If mA, mV, or VOLT was selected, the SCROLL key will display IVx V/mA CONVERSION next. LINEAR is the
default condition. Select according to the type of signal conversion desired.

Step 7
The next display will show IVx DISPLAY UNITS. Select F, C or OTHER. If OTHER is selected, the SCROLL key
will next bring up IVx OTHER UNITS on the display. Use the MOD key, then UP/DOWN arrows and ENTER to
specify the Display Units.

Rev G

3-14

Section 3Edition 3

Step 8
Next, the display will show IVx DECIMAL POSITION, IVx RANGE LIMIT LOW, and IVx RANGE LIMIT HIGH.
These will be used to calculate the engineering units range for volt/milliamp inputs for the Input being configured.
For Thermocouple/RTD inputs, their values establish the expected range outside of which the instrument will
consider the value "out of range". Select accordingly with the MOD, SCROLL, UP/DOWN arrows and ENTER.

Step 9
Depress the SCROLL key and skip over the rest of the Input Selections until the display shows IVx DISPLAY
OPTION. Select IN BOTH MODES for this input.

Step 10
After depressing the ENTER key, depress the UP ARROW key to get back to the previous level of CONFIGURE.

Step 11
Depress the SCROLL key until RECORDERS is displayed in the lower line display.

Step 12
Depress the DOWN ARROW key to enter the Recorder Configuration section. Depress the SCROLL key and
skip over the displays shown until the display shows Rx VALUE TO RECORD. Use the MOD and UP/DOWN
keys to select IVx where X is the input channel being configured. Press ENTER to finalize this selection.

Step 13
Depress the SCROLL key and skip over the displays until the display shows Rx SPAN 1 LOW and enter the low
end of the range of units to be recorded. In other words, what input value (in units) should represent the low end
of chart. Input this value using the MOD, UP/DOWN arrows, SCROLL and ENTER as before.

Step 14
Repeat for Rx SPAN 1 HIGH, using the input value (in units) that should represent the high end of the chart.

Note: the recorder span should normally correspond to an even multiple of one hundred units (for example 0 to
200 or 30 to 130, not 0 to 130) so the scales are convenient to read.

Step 15
Depress the UP ARROW key 3 times to return to the Normal Display.

Step 16
Depress the CHART key until SELECT and CHART CONFIGURATION appears. Press the DOWN ARROW key
to show CHART SIZE. Select the chart size being used. Press the UP ARROW key twice to return to the
Normal Display.

Step 17
Depress the CHART key again until CHANGE CHART appears. Select YES. Install the chart. Be sure to adjust
the three retaining clips according to the size chart being used. The display should show START NEW CHART.
Select YES with the LEFT ARROW key and then press ENTER.

After initializing the chart, the recorder should begin recording and displaying values for the Input Signal just
configured.
