Dickson FT500 Getting Started

The display will show when the unit is battery operated, but the battery will drain
very quickly. The unit should be connected via AC power and the battery should
only be used for backup purposes.

Relays

FH535 features 2 (1 per channel) SPST 24VDC. 0.5A, NO/NC Relays. Relays do not
operate under battery power. A Relay wiring diagram is available at
http://www.dicksondata.com. Pin number 1 is the lowest pin position and Pin
number 6 is the top pin position.

Clear Logger

The Touchscreen Logger can be cleared via DicksonWare or by saving a current or
new Time Scale or changing the Date or Time via the Touchscreen Menu.

Power

The Touch Screen logger operates on a 120V AC adapter. A rechargeable battery
provides backup for up to 4-5 hours. A UPS is recommended for longer backup life.
While battery operated, the unit will continue to log data but will not sound an
audible alarm when an alarm condition is present. The Touchscreen must run for 24
hours before the backup battery is fully charged.
If the power switch is turned off or the backup battery is not charged and the logger
looses power, up to 30 minutes of the most recently saved data can be lost. Turning
off the logger while logging will result in invalid data points during the period of time
when the logger was not powered.

Warranty

Dickson warrants this line of instruments will be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use and service for a period of twelve months, after
delivery. This warranty does not cover routine calibration or battery replacement.
