CR87HT High Temperature Recorder
The CR87HT is a precision instrument used to monitor and record temperature on a 6" circular chart. The CR87HT may be carried as a portable instrument or mounted in a fixed location.
The CR87HT offers a variety of features to meet any temperature recording re­quirements. A combination of three temperature ranges and four chart speeds provide a high degree of flexibility. I single or continuous turn operation as required by a particular application. To protect the data being recorded, the CR87HT uses an automatic battery backup to maintain operation during a power outage.
n addition, the chart rotation may be set for

CR87HT FEATURES AND CONTROLS

1. The 3 DIGIT TEMPERATURE DISPLAY provides precision temperature
reading of the environment monitored by the thermocouple sensor. When the CR87HT is operating on battery power, the display will flash on once every several seconds to indicate battery operation and to conserve battery power. When the batteries are nearly discharged, the display will alternate the display reading and "LO" to advise the operator that the batteries are discharged and the CR87HT will shortly cease operation.
NOTE: The battery back
use in situations where primary power is lost for short periods of up to 48 hours. The CR87HT is not intended to be used as a battery powered instru­ment. If the CR87HT is to be stored for an extended period, it is strongly ad­vised to disconnect the battery pack and remove the batteries to avoid damage to the instrument from battery leakage.
2. The TEMPERATURE RANGE SELECTOR allows the user to choose the
desired temperature range for measurement and recording.
3. The CH
one full chart revolution. The corresponding chart has to be chosen ac­cording to the desired chart speed and temperature scale. Chart part num­bers are listed in this manual.
4. PEN POSITION ADJUSTMENT KNOB allows the user to adjust the position
of the chart pen to match that of the digital display. Usually, this adjustment will be required after replacing the chart pen.
5. CHART ADVANCE BUTTON is used to set the chart to the correct time.
Press and hold the Chart Advance button until the desired time lines up with the Time Pointer (I
Movement of the Chart Spindle (Item 9) by hand can cause permanent damage to the chart mechanism.

WER ON/OFF / CONTINUOUS / SINGLE CHART SELECTOR allows
the user to apply power to the CR87HT and to select Continuous or Single Turn for the chart rotation. When power is first applied to the CR87HT, the display will show "888" to test each segment of the display, and the pen will move to the edge of the chart. The display will then show the temperature at the thermocouple sensor and the pen will move to the correct position on the chart. If the chart range does not match the temperature at the thermo­couple sensor the pen will move to the upper or lower range of the chart, whichever is closest to the temperature at the sensor, and stay there until the correct chart range is selected or the temperature at the thermocouple sensor moves within the range of the chart being used. In the Continuous switch position, the chart will rotate until power is removed. In the Single Turn switch position, the chart will make one complete revolution and stop. A blinking dot (Item 1) will indicate that the chart has made one complete revolution and stopped. To reset the chart for another revolution, place the switch in the Continuous switch position until the blinking dot goes out and then slide the switch back to the Single Turn position. The chart will make one complete revolution and stop.
observe this will cause the pen to read incorrectly and may result in damage to the pen mechanism.
. The pen has a wrap-around arm latch which makes the pen replacement "A SNAP!" To replace the pen, gently lift up the PEN ARM, (do not over bend pen arm) release the pen latch by pushing it down, and remove the pen; place a new pen on top of the pen arm, align the notches on the pen arm with the notches on the pen latch and close the latch by wrapping it around the pen holder until it is secured. Replace cap on the pen tip when the CR87HT is not used to insure long pen life. For pen

9. The CHART SPINDLE holds and rotates the chart during the recording op­eration. DO NOT ROTATE THE SPINDLE BY HAND AS IT MAY DAMAGE
THE INTERNAL MECHANISM.
10. The PAPER CHART is 6 inches in diameter. Replacem able from any of Sealed Unit Parts Co., Inc. authorized distributors in a box of 60 charts each. The chart part numbers are listed in manual.
TO INSTALL A NEW CHART disconnect power from the CR87HT by se-
lecting OFF with the Power/Single/Continuous Chart Selector. Place pen cap on point. Gently lift the pen arm, and while holding it, remove the old chart. Slide a new chart under the pen holder and align the chart with the

chart spindle. Apply power to the CR87HT and rotate the chart by depress­ing the chart advance button until the time pointer is aligned with the line on the chart representing the right time of day. Remove pen cap. If necessary, adjust the pen position according to the front panel display reading (see PEN POSITION ADJUSTMENT KNOB Item 4).
11. The TIME POINTER is simply a point against which the current time is being read during a chart rotation. I
nitially a new chart has to be rotated until the
time pointer shows the right time and day when using a 7 day chart.
12. The HANDLE for carrying, folds towards the back of the case to be out of the way when CR87HT is mounted on the panel or on the wall.
13. KEYHOLE SLOTS located on the back of the case are provided for wall or panel mounting.
14. The REAR COMPARTMENT was designed to store the battery holder for battery back
up as well as the connection for the adapter box.
15. The THERMOCOUPLE SENSOR is interchangeable. The furnished sensor has 15 feet of cable. The sensor is a type J thermocouple and uses the in­dustry standard connector for thermocouple sensors. Different sensors from third party manufacturers may be used, but Supco can not be responsible for the quality or accuracy of any sensor not manufactured by Supco.
The recorder should be placed outside the chamber being monitored. DO
NOT PLACE THE RECORDER DIRECTLY IN AREAS OF EXTREME TEMPERATURES, H
IGH HUMIDITY OR HEAVY CHEMICALS.
16. The BATTERY HOLDER is stored in the rear compartment for backup bat­teries. Use of alkaline "AA" batteries is required for proper operation.
17. 12VDC WALL TRANSFORMER provides primary power for the CR87HT. Alternate sources of 12 Volt power may also be used. This allows use of the CR87HT in automotive, marine or other mobile applications.
18. The POWER CONNECTOR is a connection jack
for the 12VDC wall trans-
former or alternate source of 12VDC power.
19. Snap on EXTRA SUPPORT LEGS for better stability.
