Safety Notes and Precautions
1. Before any connection is made, the protective earth terminal should be connected
first. To avoid making the recorder dangerous under fault conditions, any
interruption of the protective Earth conductor inside or outside the recorder is
prohibited. Even in the case of a portable unit, the protective earth terminal must
remain connected if the recorder is connected to any hazardous voltage.
2. Keep signal and supply voltage wiring separated from one another. If this is
impractical, use shielded cables for signal wiring. Double insulation should be used
for signal wiring when the recorder is used with hazardous voltage.
3. Do not use the recorder where there is high vibration or a high magnetic field. This
could cause damage or error of measurement.
4. All maintenance or repairs should be carried out with power disconnected to avoid
personal injury or damage to the unit.
6
5. In areas with conductive pollution, adequate ventilation, filtering and sealing must
be installed.
6. When cleaning the recorder, handle carefully and use soft dry cloth. Avoid the use
of abrasives, or any sharp or hard objects which would damage the display.
7. Do not operate the recorder if any part has been removed or disassembled.
Consult your nearest dealer at once.
Static Electricity
Appropriate precautions must be taken when handling the recorder. The circuit
board components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge.
Take static electricity precautions while handling and inserting USB memory into the

1.3 Expandable Input and Output cards
The recorder is equipped with rear expansion slots, which work flexibly with the
following plug & play I/O cards.
Analog Input cards (part number AI206 & AI203): These two cards are used for 3 or
6-channel analog inputs. Each input is isolated from each other to avoid noise and to
ensure stable measurement.
Relay Output card (RO206): Each card includes 6 alarm relays. Contacts are rated 5
Amp/240 VAC
Digital Input card (DI206): Each card includes 6 channels. Logic Low: -5V minimum,
0.8V maximum, Logic High: 3.5V minimum, 24V maximum
13
Combination Relay Output and Digital Input Card (RD233): Each Card includes
3 digital Inputs and 3 Relay Outputs. For Digital Inputs, Logic Low: -5V minimum, 0.8V
maximum, Logic High: -3.5V minimum, 24V maximum. For Relay Outputs, the
Contacts are rated 5 Amp/240 VAC
Analog Output cards (AO206): Each card includes 6 channels. They are used for
4-20mA, 0-20mA current output, 0-5V, 1-5V, 0-10VDC voltage output.
1.4 Communication
The standard communication interface is Ethernet with protocol IEEE 802.3 –

10/100 Base T. Other options are RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485.
Details are explained in Chapter 2.6 - RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 wiring
14
1.5 External Storage media
There are two types of External storage for the recorder, SD card and USB. If the
recorder is used with 6-channel inputs, we’ve made an easy chart to show the
maximum days based on available memory.
SD
Log speed 16GB 32GB
card
1 second 15, 808 days 31,616 days
10 seconds 158,032 days 316,064 days
120 seconds 1,896,304 days 3,792,608 days
* The above is an approximation , Each record of data uses 2 or 4 bytes of memory

depending on the data type.
For ex: Selected data size = 2 bytes
If the Log Speed (the recording speed of measured data) is set to the fastest speed
at 1 second per data, then for a six channels, a 16GB SD Card will last approximately
15, 808 days [16GB / (2 bytes x 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds x 6 Channels].
The following formula is to calculate how many days a USB disk can do saving
before it is full.
# of days = (The capacity of SD card memory x Log Speed) / (2 x # of hours per day
x 60 x 60 x Number of channels)
If the User is using USB to store data, to avoid losing recorded data while
transferring to PC, it is necessary to insert USB memory back again into the
recorder soon after loading recorded data onto PC. Otherwise, data may not be
recorded while the USB is absent.
15
1.6 Smart Mechanism
The recorded data is stored in the manufacturer’s special binary format. It is not
possible to manipulate or modify the recorded data. This feature fully guarantees
the security of the data.

4.1.3.2 Math Eample-1
Relative Humidity – PR20 Math application
*How to Calculate Relative Humidity - Theory
Requirement: Two Analog Inputs, Type: RTD

AI1: To measure dry bulb temperature
AI2: To measure wet bulb temperature
First calculate the saturation vapor pressure (E) for both the dry-bulb (Td) and wet-
bulb (Tw) temperatures using the following equations:
Ew = 0.61078*EXP((17.269*Tw)/(Tw+237.3))*(Td-Tw)
Ed = 0.61078*EXP((17.269*Td)/(Td+237.3))*(Td-Tw)
In the above equations the temperatures units are Celsius and the saturation vapor
pressure units are millibars. The function "EXP" is the exponential and not raising
something to an exponent.
Then calculate actual vapor pressure (Ea) using the following equation:
Ea = Ew-0.63*(Td-Tw)
Relative Humidity is then calculated using the following equation:

RH = (Ea/Ed)*100
The units of relative humidity are in percent.
Here is an example of the using the equations:
Assume that your dry-bulb temperature (Td) = 40 C and your wet-bulb temperature
(Tw) = 30 C.
Ew = 0.61078*EXP ((17.269*Tw)/ (Tw+237.3))*(Td-Tw)

Ew = 0.61078*EXP ((17.269*30)/ (30+237.3))*(40-30)
Ew = 42.4262 millibars
Ed = 0.61078*EXP ((17.269*Td)/ (Td +237.3))*(Td-Tw)

Ed = 0.61078*EXP ((17.269 * 40)/ (40+237.3))*(40-30)
Ed = 73.7416 millibars
Ea = Ew-0.63*(Td-Tw)
Ea = 42.4262 - 0.63*(40-30)
Ea = 36.1262 millibars
RH = (Ea/Ed)*100
RH = (36.1262/73.7416)*100
RH = 48.99 %
74
* End of Theory
5 Math channels are required to calculate one RH.

Td = AI1, analog input for dry bulb temperature (PT100)
Tw =AI2, analog input for wet bulb temperature (PT100)
Math1 = EXP ((17.269*AI1)/ (AI1+237.3))

Math2 = Ed1 = 0.61078*Math1*(AI1-AI2)
Math3 = EXP ((17.269*AI2)/ (AI2+237.3))

Math4 = Ew1 = 0.61078*Math3*(AI1-AI2)
Ea = Ew - 0.63 * (Td - Tw)

Math5= RH1 = ((Math4-0.63*(AI1-AI2))/Math2)*100
75
Now, in Math5, you will get Relative humidity in %
Five events are supported for every Math channel and two jobs are available in
every event, the same as the Analog input channel.
Math channels are virtual channels. They contain measured values based on
equations. These values can be recorded similar to physically connected Analog
inputs and display digital values, trends, bar graphs etc.
