1.4 Handling memory card (Compact Flash)– Cautions on handling(1) For the memory card, use Sandisk’s compact flash memory (URL: http://www.sandisk.co.jp).
Other memory cards may cause trouble to the recorder.

CAUTION

1) Be sure to format the memory card with the PC you use.
Format it as FAT16 or FAT. If it is formatted as NTFS, for example, it cannot
be used because this instrument does not recognize it.
2) The memory card should be inserted in the proper direction and fixed securely
to the slot.
3) Don’t turn OFF the power or remove the card from the slot while data is being
written in or read from the card, or recorded data may be damaged or lost.
4) Measured data saved to the memory card should be backed up, if necessary.
If the CF card should be broken, important record data will be lost. Be sure to
backup the data.
Before using a CF card adaptor, check the capacity of the adaptor. If the capacity of the memory card to be formatted is larger than that of the adaptor, do
not format the card. Otherwise this instrument does not recognize it even if it
could be formatted on Windows.

(2) Compact flash in the capacity range from 8MB to 1GB can be used.
Refer to the following tables for the storage capacity in the case of 9-channel recording (on condition that no events such as alarms or messages are occurring, and that integration is stopped).
(The number of days required for 18-channel recording is approximately one half of those shownin the table.)(The number of days required for average value recording and instantaneous value recording isapproximately twice of those shown in the table.)

If the data is recorded in ASCII format, it can be directly opened in a spreadsheet such as EXCEL.
However, large-amount data cannot be opened (about 10MB or larger in the case of 9-point input,
and about 5MB or larger in the case of 18-point input).
In those cases, read in data with the data viewer (contained in the attached CD-ROM), and perform CSV conversion to divide the file, which allows the data to be read in.
The data recorded in binary format cannot be directly opened in a spreadsheet such as EXCEL.
See “8.20 Setting for record data format” for details.
Note: Be careful not to make the size of a file too large even if a large-capacity CF card isused. (Keep it to less than 10MB if possible.)(5) Removing memory card
By prohibiting the writing on the memory card, the card can be taken out even if the recording or
integration is not stopped. Refer to Item 8.28 “Removing memory card (compact flash)” for theprocedure.

CAUTION

Make sure to prohibit writing before removing the memory card, when using FTP
server function.

1-1.5 Ethernet communication function
By connecting the paperless recorder to Ethernet, the following function can be used (when 4, 5, 6 or
7 is selected for the 14th digit of the code symbols).
• FTP server function: Record files stored in the compact flash of the recorder can be downloaded
from the PC on the network using Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer) or DOS prompt.

Panel

Mounting bracket• Using the supplied mounting bracket, tighten the upper and lower screws unit the panel is fixed.
• The panel to be used should be more than 2 mm thick.

CAUTION

Excessive torque will cause damage to front panel frame or result in case deformation.
Torque: 0.2 N·m• If the panel front is subject to water splashes, use panel packing between the unit and panel.

3-4. WIRING
4.1 Before wiring(Note) When cables are connected to terminals of the recorder unit, don’t apply pulling force to themexcessively. Excessive force to the terminal may result in damage to the terminal or cable.
(1) Use the power cable that has the performance equivalent to or higher than 600-V vinyl insulated
power cable (IEC227-3). Install the attached noise filter within approximately 20cm from thepower terminal of this instrument. (Wind the power cable 1 to 2 turns.)(2) For the thermocouple input, be sure to use a compensated lead wire.
(3) Input signal cables should be wired separately as far as possible (30 cm or more) from power lines
and high-voltage lines to minimize the effect of inductive noise. Shielded cables should preferably be used. In this case, the shield braids should be earthed at one point.
(4) Up to 2 solderless terminals should be used when connecting cables to terminals. Be sure to use
an insulation cap.
(Note)
1) At the completion of wiring of the input terminals, be sure to close the rear cover to ensure
the compensation of reference contact when thermocouple input is used.
In case of thermocouple input, follow the steps to stabilize temperature at the terminal.
• Be sure to attach input terminal cover.
• Don’t use a thick cable to prevent the effect of radiation. It is recommended that the cablewith a diameter of 0.5 mm or less should be used.
• Don’t mount other instruments near a fan to keep temperature stable.
2) For connection of lead wires to terminals, use of sleeve-insulated clamping terminals is recommended.
3) This unit has no power fuse. Mount a power fuse outside the unit
as needed.
Recommended fuse rating: 250V AC, 1A
4) Don’t loosen screws that are secured to the terminal case andpower terminal.

4-4.2 Connection to terminals(1) Input terminal:
Connect signal cable for each channel.
(2) Alarm (DO)/DI (External control unit):
Connect the output of alarm signals and the input of DI (external control) signals (for alarm [DO]1 to 10 and DI [external control] 1 to 5)(3) Power terminal:
Connect power cable to L/N terminals. Power source to be connected should be free from noise.
(4) Earth terminal:
Connect to “G” terminal (Class-D, 100Ω or less).
(5) Communication, alarm (open collector) output and DI terminal:
Connect the input of alarm output (DO11) and DI (external control: D16) signals.
Connect communication signal cable to TRX (+) and TRX (-).
(6) Alarm (open collector) output and DI input:
Connect the input of alarm output (DO12 to 28) and DI (external control: DI7 to 10) signals.

Do not loosen.

1) Input terminal No. is determined for each channel.
2) When changing the type of input signal (see Item 8.4) after purchasing the unit, connect input
terminals according to the relation between terminal No. and channel No.
Do not apply excessive voltage. Otherwise this instrument circuit may bedamaged, and proper operation may not be performed.

*) The screens consist of those selected in “Display record setting”“Screen setting 1, 2.”

1) The display unit allows measured data to be displayed in waveforms only when recording. If therecorded values exceed the limits of 0 % and 100%, they will be displayed at 0% and 100% positions,
respectively. If waveforms of more than 1 channel are displayed at the same position, the trend lines
overlap each other. In this case, color of the channel with the largest number is given priority overthose of other channels. (Example: In the case of ch2 and ch8, the color of ch8 is displayed.)2) Display refreshment cycles are selectable from parameters of 1 sec to 12 hours. Relations between
the parameter and chart speed are shown in tables below. After the start of the recording, the initialrefreshment cycles will start at the time of 00: 00: 00 when the recording is continued.

6.9 Message that appears when main unit failure occurs(1) Message that appears when the CF card memory is full
When the CF card memory becomes full, the following message appears on the trend screen, etc.,
and recording is stopped. (Totalize calculation is not stopped.) If the message appears, immediately replace the CF card.

6.10 Cautions about power ON/OFF(1) Recording state and record file
If the power is turned OFF when the recorder is in the recording, data written in the memory card
may be damaged. Be sure to stop recording by pressing
key, and then turn OFF the power.
In addition, if the power is OFF with the recorder in the recording, the recorder will start recording when the power is turned ON again. In this case, data will be recorded as a new file.
(2) Recording set values
After parameters have been set, register the set values by selecting “Main Unit” → “Registerdata”, or they will return to the former values when power is turned OFF.
(3) Clock function
The clock is backed up by an internal lithium battery. The battery life is expected to be about 10
years at normal temperature. Although there is no need to set the clock when the power is turned
ON, an error may occur every time the power is turned ON/OFF (about 1 sec per ON/OFF operation).
(4) Message that appears when the battery is dead
When battery voltage becomes low, the following message appears on the trend screen, etc. If themessage appears, stop recording and totalize calculation, and ask your dealer for repair.

(5) When power is turned OFF because of power failure during recording
When the power is turned ON again, messages “Power OFF” and “Power & Record ON” appear
at the top of the event file and the event display. (See 6.6 “Event summary display.”)(6) When power is turned OFF during totalize calculation
When the power is turned ON again, the instrument resumes totalizing beginning from the value
before the power was turned OFF.
Data is recorded in the totalizing file using the file before the power is turned OFF. (Note that if
the file used previously is lost, recording is started using a file newly created.)

Measured values• PV shift is calculated as follows;P’ = AP + B
Where,
P’: Measured value after calculation of PV shift
P : Measured value
A : Gain (0.00 to 327.67%)
B : Shift values (engineering unit: -32767 to 32767, decimal point depends on input
type)* The measured value after PV shift calculation is limited so that it falls within the settable display range by input type set for each channel. The judgment of input error (such as Burnout,
Error, and Over) is performed against the input and not for the result of shift or gain calculation.
• If input type is changed or the scaling function is turned ON/OFF, the PV shift set value for thechannel is cleared. (If the scaling function is turned ON/OFF by the setting copying function, the PV
shift set value for the channel is not cleared.)• The Copy function allows you to copy set values, but it is not provided with a means of making copyof PV shift set values.

8-15

[Subtraction function]• The result of subtraction of the values for 2 channels is recorded to the channel to be set.
Example: When the result of ch1-ch2 is recorded to ch1			

ch1=ch1-ch2• Be sure to perform subtraction between the channels having the same unit and decimal point position. Otherwise the record cannot be guaranteed.
• Subtraction is not performed for ch0.
• Limit is not set to the result of subtraction.
[F value calculation function]
From the measured temperature, the extinction value of bacteria by sterilization by heating can becalculated.

[Explanation]
The recorded data (trend data file) contained in the memory card set to the main unit can be displayedon the historical trend screen.
• The meaning of file name is as follows.
• S00****.FDT: File name of the trend data file (A00****.FDT, which is an event data file, is
not displayed.)		The part **** is substituted by 4-digit numerical value, and every time a new
file is created, the value increases sequentially beginning from 0000.

• Every time a recording is started using the

key or by DI input, a new file is created.

A trend file and an event file are created as a set as a new file without fail.
• The date indicates the last time when the writing was conducted on the file.
• The file name cannot be changed on this screen. Read the data on the memory card with the PC, andchange the file name on the PC.
Observe the following when changing the file name.
1) Change both the trend data file (Sxx.FDT) and the event data file (Axx.FDT)
2) Be sure to give the trend data file a name beginning with S, and give the event data file a namebeginning with A.
3) Give the same name to the xxxx portion of Sxxxx.FDT and Axxxxx.FDT. Otherwise the filecannot be opened.
4) The file cannot be opened with S.FDT or A.FDT.
5) Keep the length of the file name to 7 characters or less including S or A. The file with the nameof 8 characters or longer cannot be opened.
6) Do not give the same file name to the part xxxx of Sxxxx.FDT and Axxxx.FDT in separate
pairs.
Otherwise the program may not be properly operated and forced termination etc. may occur.
[Example]
Avoid giving the same file name, 88, to S88 in the upper stage and A88 in the lower stage as in
the example shown below.
Before change

In case of MAX-MIN recording, 4 bytes is required for 1 record data.
In case of instantaneous value and average value recording, 2 bytes is required for 1 record data.
38 bytes is required for 1 event data.
When recording 9-channel in MAX-MIN recording, approximately 15300 data can be stored.
When the display refresh cycle is 1 second, data equivalent to 4 hours can be stored. The numberof the save data varies depending on the number of the event data.
(2) Totalize data: 5k bytes
4 bytes are required for 1 totalize data.
When totalizing 9-channel, approximately 128 data can be stored. When totalizing once every 1hour in daily report, data equivalent to 128 hours can be stored.

8.40 Setting of calculation channel[Explanation]• 12 channels from channel 19 to 30 can be used as the calculation channel.
• Formula (3 calculations × 4 expressions) can be set per each channel.
• The result of formula 4 is entered for calculation channel. Note that, when the result of formula
4 which is not including the decimal point is outside the range of ±32767, enter a value limited to±32767.
Note 1) Calculation is always executed from left to right. There is no priority in for four arithmetic
operations.
		

Example: The following formula (A) is calculated as (B).

				Formula (A) B01 = C01 + C02 × C03

				

Formula (B) B01 = (C01 + C02) × C03

Note 2) Either Average value calculation; AVG (A), or totalize calculation; SUM (A, B) can be used
only once at each channel.
Note 3) When formula increases in number, calculation will take a long time in the recorder. Therefore the display cycle of measurement value may take a longer time.
• For arithmetic operation, see the following table.

10.1 Calibration method of measured values[Explanation]
Adjustment is not required in an ordinary status. However, to maintain the desired accuracy of the measured
value display, we recommend you to perform calibration periodically by adding calibration input signals.
Add calibration input signals to the channel to be calibrated. To calibrate the input of the resistance bulb,
be sure to perform 500mV calibration beforehand, and then perform the calibration.
Note: 1) If improper calibration input signals are added, the instrument operates improperly.
Be sure to follow the procedure shown above to perform calibration. Otherwise theinstrument may operate improperly. The devices listed in the table on page 10-2, [Required device], are required for calibration.
2) If reading error is not large, adjust the value to the reading of the [PV shift function]
described in section 8.5.
[Operation](1) Select “System” and then “Calib. password” on the “Parameter Setting” screen to display the calibration password screen. Enter the password using the cursor key. (The password is 1234.)
Note: The entered password is kept valid until the power is turned off. Turning off the power

cycles.
Recorded as a new file whenever the recording starts• Data save cycles: Linked to the display refreshment cycles on the “Real Time Trend”
screen. However, they are automatically set to about 1 minute if therefreshment cycles are set to less than 1 minute.

• Trend data

: Measurement data sampled at measurement cycle is saved in terms ofmean value, instantaneous value or maximum/minimum value.

• Event data

: Saves alarm data and message data.
Further saves power ON and OFF, if any, after starting recording.

• Totalizing value data

: Records the totalized data according to the totalizing type selected bychannels. Values by totalizing types or total from the beginning of
totalizing, whichever selected, can be recorded. For each channel, theinput value totalizing, number of DI inputs or measurement at times
when DI inputs have occurred can be selected. Input values to be
totalized are selected from daily report, monthly report, annual reportand external input.
If power has been turned off and on while totalizing, the totalizing
is resumed at last value. (Last value remains saved, but data during
power OFF is not totalized.)• Configuration data

: Configuration data can be saved. And this data can also download torecorder.

• Storage capacity: Approximately 1.5 years when the display refresh cycle is 30 seconds(in the case of 9-channel recording in ASCII data format, and 256MB
