6.4 Calibrating the Recorder

Calibrate the measured value against the input.
It is recommended that the recorder be calibrated once a year to assure its measurement accuracy.
For details regarding calibration, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA Denshikiki dealer.
Required Instruments
A calibration instrument with appropriate resolution is required for calibrating the recorder.
Recommended Instrument Main Specifications

DC voltage standard: Output accuracy: ± (0.005 % + 1 μV)
Model 5520A by FLUKE or equivalent
For information on purchasing the calibration instruments, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA
Denshikiki dealer.
Calibration Procedure
1. Wire the recorder and the calibration instrument as shown in the following figure, and ade-
quately warm up the instruments (the warm-up time of the recorder is at least 30 minutes).
2. Check that the operating environment such as ambient temperature and humidity is within the
normal operating conditions (see section 5.8).
3. Apply appropriate input signals corresponding to 0 %, 50 %, and 100 % of the input range and
calculate the errors from the readings.

6.5 Adjusting the Pen Position

This section explains the details of adjusting the pen position on the chart paper.
It is recommended that the pen be adjusted once a year to assure its recording accuracy.
NOTE
Pen position is adjusted under standard operating conditions when the recorder is shipped from the
factory. Because the chart paper may expand or contract depending on the environment in which
the recorder is used, it is recommended that the position be readjusted before use.
Procedure
1. Warm up the recorder for at least 30 minutes.
2. Check that the operating environment such as ambient temperature and humidity is within the
normal operating conditions (see section 5.8).
(When "Menu Kind=" is displayed, select the "Free" by using the key, and press the key.)
5. Press the key or SHIFT + key to select P_Adj and then press the key.
6. Select the Pen No.
7. Press the key to select Zero (left edge of the chart paper) or Full (right edge of the chart
paper) and then press the key.
Adjust Zero first and then Full.
Increase or decrease the setting to align the pen position with the scale line on the chart paper.
Then, press the key. To change the setting, press the key to move the cursor and
key to change the value.
The pen moves after the key is pressed.
A value change of 1 corresponds to 0.033 mm change in the pen position. Decreasing the
value moves the pen to the left and increasing the value moves the pen to the right.
8. Press the key to set adjust other pens.
Press the ESC/? key to finish the adjustment. The screen returns to the Basic=P_Adj screen.

6.6 Recommended Replacement Periods for

Worn Parts
To preserve the reliability of the recorder and to use the recorder in good condition for an extended
time, it is recommended that periodic replacements be made on parts.
The table below shows the recommended replacement period for expendable parts.
The replacement period shown here applies when the recorder is used under standard operating
conditions. For the actual replacement period, consider the actual conditions of use.
Replacement of parts other than the chart paper, pen, ribbon cassette, and internal light LED
will be carried out by a YOKOGAWA Denshikiki engineer or an engineer certified by
YOKOGAWA Denshikiki. Contact your nearest YOKOGAWA Denshikiki dealer when such
replacement is necessary.
NOTE
The replacement period of the display and the internal light LED is the half life of the brightness.
The deterioration of brightness varies depending on the condition of use, and its determination is
subjective. Consider these facts for determining the actual replacement period.
