100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL Safety Notes 1. Whenever it is likely that protection has been impaired, the unit shall be made inoperative and secured against unintended operation. The nearest manufacturer’s service centre should be consulted for advice. 2. Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened apparatus under voltage, should be avoided as far as possi- ble and, if inevitable, shall be carried out only by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.

100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 1.3 THE RECORDER The 100mm graphics recorder is a powerful self-contained data acquisition and paper-less recording instrument, capable of acquiring data from up to 12 analogue or digital inputs. The recorder is fitted with a touch sensitive display screen which allows data to be displayed in trend, bargraph or numeric-value mode.
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 1.3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION (Cont.) OPTIONS For full details of these and other 'software' options, refer to the options manual. ANALOGUE OUTPUT Scaled and linearised versions of one or two input signals can be output using an analogue output (retransmission) option board.
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 1.3.2 RECORDER FUNCTIONS (Cont.) The recorder updates all values at a rate of once per second, unless large numbers of calculations are being carried out when a slower rate may be necessary. In such cases, a message can be configured to appear, to indicate that the rate has dropped.
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 1.3.2 RECORDER FUNCTIONS (Cont.) MESSAGE TYPES There are three categories of message which can be printed on the 'chart': Trace tags. Channel tags (entered as a part of Channel Ident configuration) are printed adjacent to the channel trace in the same colour as the trace.
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 1.3.2 RECORDER FUNCTIONS (Cont.) ALARMS (Cont.) All of the above alarm attributes are set up as a part of the Alarm Setpoint and Job Configuration for the relevant channel, totaliser etc. If the Operator Permissions are appropriately set (Configuration OPERATOR ACCESS menu) the operator can access and change the setpoints without the password.
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 1.3.2 RECORDER FUNCTIONS (Cont.) TOTALISERS/COUNTERS/TIMERS (TCT) OPTION This option supplies six each of totalisers, counters and timers. TOTALISERS Each totaliser integrates a given input in order to derive, for example, total flow, from a flow rate input. High and low cutoffs can be defined, and each totaliser can be configured to count either up or down.
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL SECTION 2: FAULT FINDING 2.1 FAULT FINDING GUIDE This section attempts to give some indication of possible faults and some causes and cures. Because of the complex- ity of the electronic systems involved it is not possible in a document such as this to fault-find to a level deeper than module (e.g.
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 2.1.2 Door resets continuously If a disk is inserted, switch the recorder's power off, eject the disk and re-apply power. If the recorder now ini- tialises correctly, replace the disc drive 2. If no disk or memory card is inserted, withdraw the recorder from its case, and check the status of the SBC LED (fig 2.1.1 shows location).
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 2.1.7 DISK PROBLEMS (Cont.) ENVIRONMENT Disks are susceptible to damage from dust and dirt in the environment. If this is a problem in the recorder area, then adequate air filtering should be installed. SYSTEM ERROR: DISK OVERDRIVE This means that the internal archiving buffer has overflowed, and data has been lost.
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 2.2 INPUT ADJUST 2.2.1 Adjustment procedure This feature allows input channels to be adjusted to make allowance for non-standard inputs. The technique used is to apply a known input at the low end of the input range for each channel in question. Once the reading displayed by the recorder has stabilised, the 'correct' value is entered.
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 2.2.1 INPUT ADJUST (Cont.) Adjustments can be removed, and channels can be checked to see if they are 'adjusted' as shown in figures 2.2.1b and 2.2.1c respectively. 1 5 : 5 0 : 1 0 1 5 : 5 0 : 1 0 i n s t r u m e n t i n s t r u m e n t...
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 2.3 CALIBRATION This section describes a means by which the calibration of input boards can be checked. If a fault is suspected, it is recommended that the VIEW softkey of the Calibration Adjust menu is used to ensure that the channel in question has not previously had its calibration adjusted.
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 2.3.2 Internal cold junction compensation (CJC) checking These checks are carried out by placing the relevant type of calibrated thermocouple in a temperature reference (e.g. triple-point device), and connecting it to an input channel using thermocouple or temperature compensated cable. The channel is configured as follows: Input type = Thermocouple...

100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 2.4 RECORDER MESSAGES This section gives interpretations for messages, which appear at the display for the guidance of the user. BAD REMOTE CJ TEMP This message appears at any time if a channel measuring a remote temperature is OFF or is not generating a valid output.
100mm GRAPHICS RECORDER TECHNICAL MANUAL 2.4 RECORDER MESSAGES (Cont.) EEPROM DB DEFAULTED This message appears at power up if any part of the database is found to be corrupt at power-up, and the database has been defaulted.
