Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E SAFETY Read this page carefully before installation and use of the instrument. INTRODUCTION The instrument described in this manual is designed to be used by properly trained personnel only. Adjustment, maintenance and repair of the exposed equipment shall be carried out only by qualified personnel, that is aware of the hazards involved.
BD 12E dual channel recorder with electrical penlift and remote control The BD 11/11E / 12/12E recorder is a compact recorder meeting today’s technology. The recorder uses a null balancing potentiometric system. The two-channel recorder offers two completely independent and isolated servo systems.

Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E Before switching on the recorder, make sure that the required fuses are installed. Operating the recorder at 115 V requires 250 mA fuses, while an operation voltage of 230 V requires 125 mA fuses. The mains on/off switch is located on the left-hand side of the recorder.
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E fig. 2 Lifting of the ruler Then push the edge of the paper (with a fingernail for example) in order to loosen it from the sprocket wheels. After that, the remains of the paper roll together with the plastic shaft can be taken out of the back of the recorder.
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E After that, put back both zero switches into the upright operating position. Finally lower both pens to resume recording. Following this procedure, the only thing you get is a small gap in your recording, the size of which of course depends on both the paper speed and your manual dexterity.
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E 3.2.5 Polarity selection If desired, the polarity of each of the channel inputs can be inverted independently. The selection is performed by setting the involved switches, which are located at the rear side of the recorder. The location of these switches is indicated in figure 1 in chapter 3 PREPARATIONS FOR USE.
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL 4.1.1 Switching on and off Switching on and off is done with the small black switch which is located at the left-hand side of the recorder. Once it is switched on, it immediately is ready for use. On power up the origin (home position) is set at the location the paper was at that moment.
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E 4.2.1.4 Paper transport The buttons associated with this function are marked with two small black triangles (arrows). With these buttons the paper can be positioned very precisely underneath the pens. Each time that one of these buttons is pressed shorter than one second, the paper is moved over a distance of 0.05 mm in the...
Please refer to section 3.2.5 polarity selection for more information. 4.2.2.4 Mechanical pen up / down (BD 11/12) Both pens are lifted with the metal lever, which is located on the right-hand side in the top cover. This lever is being used for controlling vertical movement of both pens.
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E OPTIONAL EXTERNAL FUNCTIONS GENERAL When the recorder is fitted with the optional remote control cable, a number of functions of the BD 11E/12E can be remotely controlled. Some of these functions are standard BD 11E/12E functions; some others only are available when the respective options have been installed.
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E When no signal is applied (open input), the pull-up resistor of 10 kOhm keeps the Schmitt-trigger input at a logical 1. This corresponds to a non-active situation for the respective function. This is true for all functions in the default situation (i.e.
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E accounts for a factor 200. The combination of these two results in a maximum dividend of 60*200, which equals 12000. Method to determine the externally controlled chart speed: S x F x 0. 0025 = Externally Controlled Chart Speed (mm/s).
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E APPENDIX A OPERATOR PANEL FUNCTIONS SERVO SYSTEM (one for each channel) Each of the functions is indicated with a letter, which corresponds to a location indicated in figure A.1 below. a) range: Rotary switch with 14 positions selects span settings, ranging from 1 mV to 20 V fsd (full-scale deflection) b) cal/var.

Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E APPENDIX B PEN OFFSET COMPENSATION MODULE (optional) GENERAL The Pen Offset Compensation (POC) module allows a graphical representation of two signals on a BD 12 / 12E recorder without any trace-offset. Normally, when a multi-pen recorder is used for monitoring signal variations, the traces are shifted with respect to each other, because the pens cannot write at the same time on the same spot.
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E fig. B.1 Mainboard lay out with 2 POC modules INSTALLATION A POC / RS232-C module can be placed on each channel. On channel 2 the POC module can be used for both POC and digital output...

Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E Applying the opening force between the top and bottom cover could of course also be done by means of a screwdriver, but it is very likely that the recorder housing would be damaged that way.
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E fig. B.5 location of the POC switch When the changes have been made, you can replace the top cover by placing it over the bottom part and bringing it precisely into position. When this is done accurately enough, hardly any force is needed. As soon as the top cover is correctly in place, the housing can be closed again by pinching softly the top and bottom part of the cover together at each of the corners.
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E B.4.1 The RS232-C output The POC module in combination with the remote control connector has an additional feature. On the optional remote control connector of the recorder is a fully floating serial RS232-C output available.
Instruction manual BD 11/11E / 12/12E The "channel code" can be used by the computer for identification, and the "optional" CR LF for acknowledgement of the data block received. See also fig. B2 for more information. DEMONSTRATION PROGRAMS The printed demonstration programs were written on a PX4 Epson hand held computer and IBM PC in the BASIC language, to give the user more information on how to handle the serial data output.
