    Product Description 1.1.1 GENERAL The instrument is a microprocessor based circular chart recorder capable of measuring, displaying and recording from a variety of inputs. Applications include temperature, pressure, flow and others. The instrument can be specified as either a single or dual pen unit. Recording, alarm, or limit settings and other parameters are easily entered via the keypad.
  • Page 6 1.1.2 RECORDING The instrument records the selected process variable on a 10-inch circular chart. One box of standard charts is provided with each recorder. Charts are available in a wide selection of ranges. Chart rotation speed is programmable from 0.1 to 999.9 hours per revolution in 0.1 hour increments.

    FIGURE 2-1 Preparation for Wiring 2.5 2.5.1 WIRING GUIDELINES Electrical noise is a phenomenon typical of industrial environments. The following are guide- lines that must be followed to minimize the effect of noise upon any instrumentation. 2.5.1.1 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Listed below are some of the common sources of electrical noise in the industrial environment: •...
  • Page 9 2. If possible, eliminate mechanical contact relay(s) and replace with solid state relays. If a mechanical relay being powered by an instrument output device cannot be replaced, a solid state relay can be used to isolate the instrument. 3. A separate isolation transformer to feed only instrumentation should be considered. The transformer can isolate the instrument from noise found on the AC power input.
  • Page 10 FIGURE 2-2 FIGURE 2-3 Inductive Load 2.5.2 SENSOR PLACEMENT (THERMOCOUPLE OR RTD) Thermocouple lead resistance should not exceed 300 ohms. It this is exceeded, instrument accuracy could be affected. Two wire RTD's should be used only with lead lengths less than 10 feet. If the temperature probe is to be subjected to corrosive or abrasive conditions, it should be protected by the appropriate thermowell.

  • Page 13: Wiring Connections

    Wiring Connections All wiring connections are typically made to the instrument at the time of installation. Connec- tions should be made at the terminal blocks , two 12 gauge wires maximum. Terminal blocks are designated TB1 through TB13. See Figure 2-4 for the terminal block locations (SPST Relay Board shown).
  • Page 14 FIGURE 2-5 AC Instrument Power Input Connect the 115 VAC hot and neutral to terminals 1 and 2 respectively of TB1. See Figure 2-4 (page 13) for Terminal Board locations on the instrument. Connect the 230 VAC one leg to each terminal, be sure to check the position of the Voltage Selector switch provided with 230 VAC instruments.
  • Page 15 FIGURE 2-8 Volt, Millivolt and milliamp Input Make the volt, millivolt or milliamp connections as shown below. Use TB4 for the Pen 1 input, and TB5 for the Pen 2 input. Terminal 1 is positive and terminal 2 is negative. The milliamp input requires the installation of an appropriate shunt resistor (ordered separately) between terminals 1 and 2.
  • Page 16 2.6.4 OUTPUT CONNECTIONS Relay output(s) if provided in the instrument may be assigned to alarm output functions for Pen 1 and/or Pen 2 (if present) if instrument is recorder. Relay outputs, if instrument is a limit device, may be assigned to limit output functions. Current outputs may be assigned to process value retransmission output for Pen 1 and/or Pen 2 (if present).
  • Page 17 FIGURE 2-12 Current Output Connections are made to current outputs A thru D as shown. Each current output is program- mable as either 4 to 20 mADC or 0 to 20 mADC. Each output must be assigned to the desired function (refer to Table 3-2, page 28, for details.) Terminal connections are made using TB10 through TB13 for current output A through D respectively.
  • Page 18: Section 3 - Configuration

    Configuration 3.1 After completing installation and wiring of the instrument the configuration (set up) proce- dures must be performed to prepare the instrument for operation of the intended application. The procedures include selecting specific parameters, entering data and possible jumper positioning.
  • Page 19: Configuration/Jumper Positioning

    Shipped Configuration/Jumper Positioning 3.2 Each instrument is factory shipped ready to accept a thermocouple input on TB 4 and TB 5. All configuration parameters in each mode are set to default values. These defaults are shown in tabular form after the description for each mode. Instrument AC power input is as specified in the instrument model number and is shown on the ratings label.
  • Page 20: Start Up Procedure 3.4

    3.3.2 CONFIGURATION DISPLAYS Each pen specified is provided with its own 4 digit LED display. These are used during configuration to display the parameter codes and values.
