    Chapter 1 Functional Description 1.1 Overview of the Recorder The SBR-EW180 Recorder (hereafter referred to as the recorder) can be used to assign DC voltage, 1-5V, thermocouple, RTD, and contact or voltage ON/OFF signal to channels for measurement. The measured results are recorded with pens or dots on a chart paper that is fed at a constant speed.

  • Page 16: Measuring Input Section

    1.2 Measuring Input Section Input Section Number of Measurement Channels and Scan Interval The recorder samples the input signals on the measurement channels at the scan interval to obtain the measured values. Model Num. of Ch. Scan Interval 1-pen model 125 ms 2-pen model 125 ms...
  • Page 17 1.2 Measuring Input Section • Delta Computation The value obtained by subtracting the measured value of another channel (called the reference channel) from the input value of the channel set to delta computation is used as the measured value of that channel. The reference channel must be assigned to a channel whose channel number is less than that of the channel on which delta computation is specified.
  • Page 18 1.2 Measuring Input Section Bias A given value (bias value) is added to the input value and used as the measured value of that channel. Biased channel Input value Measured value Bias value <Related Topics> Setting the bias: Section 7.15 and 6.12 Burnout Detection of Thermocouples This function makes the recording go off the scale to the right or left when the thermocouple burns out while measuring temperature with a thermocouple.
  • Page 19 1.2 Measuring Input Section Noise Elimination from Input Signals Filter and Moving Average This function used to suppress the effects of noise that is riding on the signal. The pen model and dot model are equipped with a filter function and a moving average function, respectively. The function can be set for each measurement channel.
  • Page 20 1.2 Measuring Input Section Integration Time of the A/D Converter The recorder uses an A/D converter to convert the sampled analog signal to a digital signal. By setting the integration time of the A/D converter to match the time period corresponding to one cycle of the power supply or an integer multiple of one cycle, the power supply frequency noise can be effectively suppressed.

  • Page 21: Alarms

    1.3 Alarms This function generates an alarm when the measured data meets a certain condition. The alarm occurrence/ release can be recorded on the chart paper. The alarm status can be displayed on the screen. Also, alarm output relays can be used to output contact signals when alarms occur (/A1, /A2, /A3, /A4, and /A5 options).
  • Page 22 1.3 Alarms • Delay High Limit Alarm (T) An alarm occurs when the measured value remains above the alarm value for a specified time period (alarm delay period). • Delay Low Limit Alarm (t) An alarm occurs when the measured value remains below the alarm value for a specified time period (alarm delay period).
