a. Set the chart time manually by inserting a coin into the groove in the chart hub and
turning clockwise until the correct hour (and day if applicable) on the chart is referenced
to the timing arrow (just to the right of the pen tip on the dial). Press Pen Home to move
the pen(s) back onto the chart.
The following feature should be used for fine adjustments only.
b. To adjust the chart time, press and hold Adjust-Up and Adjust-Down buttons located on
the back of the unit next to the dip switch (see Figure 3).
The green LED will blink rapidly for about five seconds, then the LED will remain solid
green. While in this state the Adjust-Up button will move the chart backward (counter
clockwise) and the Adjust-Down button will move the chart forward (clockwise).
Rotate the chart until the correct hour (and day if applicable) on the chart is referenced to
the timing arrow. Once you have set your chart, press the Pen Home button to exit Chart
Adjust Mode. The unit will take one minute to exit the Chart Adjust Mode once Pen
Home is pressed. Press Pen Home to move the pen(s) back onto the chart.
c. Place the KT6 recorder on a flat vibration-free surface. Be sure it is in a vertical position
and level. For best performance and longevity, the location should be a clean
environment, free from dust and corrosive fumes. Do not exceed temperature
specifications. Wall Mount: Keyhole slots are provided on the KT6 recorder for wall
mounting.
