OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1
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. With the "set" button the origin can be defined at any
desired position.
4.1.2
Fuses
The only problem that you may run into and which is user solvable is that of a blown fuse. There are two
fuses, which are located next to the power switch. It is easy to replace them because you can take them
out with the aid of a screwdriver or even the tip of your finger. If you have to replace one of the fuses,
make sure to replace it with one of the same type. When the recorder is operated at 230 V the fuses are
of the 125 mA type. When operated at 115 V they are of the 250 mA type. (see note on page 6)

OPERATOR PANEL FUNCTIONS
4.2.1
Chart drive
4.2.1.1
Record on / off
The function of this switch is to start and stop paper transport. When "record" is in the "off" position, it
interrupts both the internal chart speed pulses and the external pulses. This switch must be put in the
"off" position in order to be able to operate any of the following functions: "Forward / Reverse" (Arrows),
"Home", "Grid" and "Set". When "record" is in the "on" position pressing any of the keys corresponding to
the mentioned functions, has no effect at all.
4.2.1.2 Chart speed
The velocity at which the paper is moving is controlled by a combination of two choices. One concerns
the position of the switch named "chart speed". There are eight possible positions, ranging from 0.1 to 20
units. The second choice concerns the applied unit, which is either mm/s or mm/min.
This combination gives you a lowest speed of 0.1 mm per minute at which the paper roll has an expected
lifetime of 4100 hours and a highest speed of 20 mm per second, at which a new roll of paper gives up
after 20 minutes.
4.2.1.3 Internal/ external (BD11E/12E)
The position of this switch determines the source of the pulses which make the paper move. When it is in
the "Internal" position an internal clock, which can be adjusted as described in the previous section, is in
effect. When the switch is in the "ext" position the chart drive must be fed with pulses from an external
source. This is explained in more detail in chapter 4.
