SAFETY NOTES

WARNING
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside the apparatus, or disconnection of the
protective earth terminal is likely to make the apparatus dangerous under some fault conditions. Inten-
tional interruption is prohibited.

Note: in order to comply with the requirements of safety standard BS EN61010, the recorder shall have one
of the following as a disconnecting device, fitted within easy reach of the operator, and labelled as the discon-
necting device.

a A switch or circuit breaker which complies with the requirements of IEC947-1 and IEC947-3
b. A separable coupler which can be disconnected without the use of a tool
c. A separable plug, without a locking device, to mate with a socket outlet in the building.

1. Before any other connection is made, the protective earth terminal shall be connected to a protective conductor.
The mains (supply voltage) wiring must be terminated within the connector in such a way that, should it slip in
the cable clamp, the Earth wire would be the last wire to become disconnected.
2. In the case of portable equipment, the protective earth terminal must remain connected (even if the recorder is
isolated from the mains supply), if any of the I/O circuits are connected to hazardous voltages*.
3. The mains supply fuse within the power supply is not replaceable. If it is suspected that the fuse is faulty, the
manufacturer's local service centre should be contacted for advice.
4. Whenever it is likely that protection has been impaired, the unit shall be made inoperative, and secured against
accidental operation. The manufacturer's nearest service centre should be contacted for advice.
5. Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened apparatus under voltage, should be avoided as far as possi-
ble and, if inevitable, shall be carried out only by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.
6. Where conductive pollution (e.g. condensation, carbon dust) is likely, adequate air conditioning/filtering/sealing
etc. must be installed in the recorder enclosure.
7. Signal and supply voltage wiring should be kept separate from one another. Where this is impractical, shielded
cables should be used for the signal wiring.
8. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
might be impaired.

* A full definition of 'Hazardous' voltages appears under 'Hazardous live' in BS EN61010. Briefly, under normal op-
erating conditions, hazardous voltages are defined as being > 30V RMS (42.2V peak) or > 60V dc.

USER MANUAL
1 INTRODUCTION

This document describes the installation, operation and configuration of a 100mm graphics recorder. The recorder
has the facility for FTP transfer and Remote viewer connection if the Ethernet option is fitted.

The recorder instrument time can be updated from a unicast (i.e. point-to-point) Simple Network Time Protocol
(SNTP) server and is also itself an SNTP server. SNTP time is based on elapsed seconds since 00:00 hrs on 1st Jan
1900 GMT and is affected neither by time zones nor by daylight saving. The relevant TCP port number is 123. See
sections 4.3.1 (Instrument configuration), 4.5.1 (Network Address configuration) and B6 in Annex B, for more details.

1.1 UNPACKING THE RECORDER

The recorder is despatched in a special pack, designed to give adequate protection during transit. Should the outer
box show signs of damage, it should be opened immediately, and the recorder examined. If there is evidence of dam-
age, the instrument should not be operated and the local representative contacted for instructions. After the recorder
has been removed from its packing, the packing should be examined to ensure that all accessories and documentation
have been removed. The packing should then be stored against future transport requirements.

2 INSTALLATION

2.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Figure 2.1 gives installation details.

Note: It is recommended that the rear face of the panel be centre-punched at suitable positions to locate the
tips of the case clamps. Otherwise, particularly on smooth surfaces, the clamps can 'wander' as they are
tightened, leading to inefficient clamping and possible damage to the recorder mounting slots.

The unit is inserted through the panel aperture from the front of the panel. With the weight of the recorder supported,
a panel clamp is inserted into each of the mounting slots (one each on the left- and right-hand sides). The jacking
screws are then tightened sufficiently to clamp the recorder into position. EXCESS FORCE SHOULD NOT BE
USED IN TIGHTENING THESE SCREWS.

2.2.2 Supply voltage wiring


WARNING
DC supply voltages must never be applied to recorders fitted with isolated transmitter power supplies.

Note: The minimum recommended wire size is 16/0.2 (0.5mm2).

LINE SUPPLY
The supply voltage to the recorder is terminated using an IEC socket which is connected to the mating plug at the rear
of the recorder. The recorder is suitable for use with all ac voltages between 85 and 265 V RMS (47 to 63 Hz), and
requires 60 VA max. power. For recorders without transmitter power supplies, supply voltages of between 110V dc
and 370V dc may also be used.

Not suitable for recorders fitted with the isolated transmitter power supply +V or ac 0V or ac
option.
The low voltage supply option is terminated at a three-pin connector (plug
mounted on recorder - socket on supply cable) as shown in figure 2.2.2.
The option allows the use of ac or dc supplies with the following charac-
teristics:
AC: 20 to 42V RMS (45 to 400 Hz) Figure 2.2.2 Low voltage supply pinout
DC: 20 to 54V (See warning above)
Power: 60VA max.

2.3 DISK INSERTION AND REMOVAL

The disk slot is located below the recorder screen, and is protected by a flap as shown in figure 2.1, above.

In order to access the disk slot, the bottom of the central part of the flap is lifted (figure 2.3a) and then used as a han-
dle to pull the main flap open.

If a disk is already fitted, it is removed by pressing on the eject button (figure 2.3b).

Note: Before disk removal, archiving should be suspended (section 4.1) (wait for the green LED on the disk
drive to be extinguished), otherwise data might be lost.

3 PROCESS VARIABLE DISPLAY

The operator interface consists of a touch-sensitive screen, showing either process variable values in one of a number
of formats, or, showing configuration or operational details for use in setting up the recorder. This section (3) de-
scribes the process variable displays. Section 4 describes the Configuration displays.

Figure 3, below, depicts a typical trend display and gives details of the various areas of the display page.

Note: Dialogue boxes, message boxes etc. cause Process Variable displays to 'freeze' for as long as the box is
on display. Root and Option menus (amongst others) time-out (i.e. are removed from the display) after
approximately one minute. Messages, however, are displayed until the operator takes action to remove them.
It should be noted, especially, that several message boxes may be active at one time, but only the oldest one is
visible, until it is removed to reveal the 'next oldest' message, and so on.

3 PROCESS VARIABLE DISPLAY (Cont.)

TRUNCATION OF NUMERIC VALUES


If the amount of space on the display page is insufficient to display the full width of the process variable or scale
value, then the displayed value is rounded down and the number of decimal places reduced. If the available space is
still too restricted, the value is displayed in 'Scientific' format, or if this is still too wide, the final visible character of
the integer part of the display is replaced by a '?'.

CURRENT CHANNEL ALARM ICONS


In each of the different types of PV display, each channel's faceplate give the status of the channel's alarms. This
status is shown by one of the icons depicted in table 3, either off, flashing (if it is active and unacknowledged) or on
continuously (if it is active and acknowledged). See section 3.1.3, below, for a description of how to acknowledge
alarms, and section 4.3.3 for a description of the alarm types. Absolute alarm threshold icons and deviation-alarm
bars appear in any display which includes a scale. For deviation alarms, the bar stretches from (Reference - Devia-
tion) to (Reference + Deviation).

Notes
1. For software versions 2.3 onwards, 32MB versions of the recorder come with four alarms per point, in-
stead of two per point as supplied with previous software versions. The System/About display can be
used establish what size of DRAM s fitted - see section 4.6.5.

3.1.3 Alarm indicators

This area of the display can contain up to four icons: Instrument alarm, Channel alarm, Battery change, Disk status.
Pressing this area of the screen calls a pop-up display (figure 3.1.3a) allowing the user to view messages to acknowl-
edge all channel alarms, or to display the Alarm Summary page. Also incorporated in this display is a slider control
allowing the user to optimise the display contrast for the local environment. For channel alarm symbols, refer to 'Cur-
rent Trace Alarm Icons', above.

ALARM SUMMARY PAGE


As shown in figure 3.1.3a, below, the alarm summary page contains the following information:
1. Alarm identifier. This appears as a point ID, followed by the relevant alarm number in parentheses. For exam-
ple, Alarm 1 on maths channel 6 would appear as: D6 (1). Maths channels are prefixed by 'D'. Totalisers are
prefixed by 'T' and Counters are prefixed by 'C'. Input channels are not prefixed.
2 Alarm threshold for absolute alarms only
3 The current process value for the point
4 An alarm symbol (see Table 3). Alarm symbols flash until acknowledged.

Notes:
1. Alarms are always listed in Point/Alarm order with input channels first, followed by derived chan-
nels, totalisers and counters, if these options are fitted.
2 When the alarm source returns to its non-alarm state: Unlatched alarms are removed from the list
whether or not they have been acknowledged; latched alarms remain displayed until acknowledged.
See section 4.3.3 for a description of alarm types and actions.
3. There are no time or history components associated with the Alarm Summary. If Alarm messages have
been enabled in the relevant group's configuration (section 4.3.2), then alarm initiation/acknowledgement
times and dates can be found from the trend and trend history displays, described in section 3.4, or in
Message log, described in section 3.2.1.
4. If an alarm is active on a channel which is not included in either group, then although the channel alarm
symbol will flash, the alarm will not appear in the alarm summary pages.

3.1.3 ALARM INDICATORS (Cont.)

INSTRUMENT ALARMS
This indicator appears, flashing, if any of the following alarms are active. The Instrument alarm summary page, de-
scribed above, allows the user to view any such alarms.
Archive failed -(message) Message explains archive failure - due to disk being missing, write protected,
faulty, full etc.
Battery-backed RAM cleared This message appears if the battery has failed, and the unit has been switched off.
Channel failure Indicates a hardware failure in the input channel circuit
Channel error Indicates a hardware failure in the channel circuit or in the internal CJ temperature
measurement
Clock failure Internal clock was corrupt at power up, or the time has never been set. Can be
caused by battery failure, in which case the battery icon will also be visible. The
error is cleared by setting the time and date. Server time forced to 00:00 1/1/1900.
Floppy disk worn Appears if a number of attempts had to be made before write to the disk was suc-
cessful. No data is lost, but the disk should be replaced as soon as is practicable.
Floppy disk corrupt This appears if all attempts to write to the disk fail. In such a case, some data may
be lost. If the damaged area of the disk is in the system part of the disk, it might
appear to the recorder that it is unformatted, and the disk icon will disappear. The
disk should be replaced immediately.
FTP Primary Server Failure This error is set if the recorder fails, after two attempts, to establish communica-
tions with the primary server as defined in Archive Configuration (section 4.3.5).
After the second attempt has failed, the Secondary server is tried.
FTP Secondary Server Failure This error is set if the recorder fails, after two attempts, to establish communica-
tions with the secondary server as defined in Archive Configuration (section 4.3.5).
See also 'FTP Primary Server Failure, above.
Insufficient non-volatile memory... There is insufficient memory available for the configuration. Sometimes caused by
the use of the Rolling Average maths function.
Internal flash: \user\ required repair Error found (in the internal file system) at power-up, and corrected.
Internal flash: \system\ required repair Error found (in the internal file system) at power-up, and corrected.
Internal flash: \history\ required repair Error found (in the internal file system) at power-up, and corrected.
Maths Channel failure Appears, for example, if the divisor of a divide function passes through zero.
Network boot failure The recorder is unable to establish connection with the bootP server. This might be
caused by, for example, cable failure, network hardware failure, etc.
Recording failure - (message) Message explains recording failure e.g. file error, internal overflow etc.
Removable media failure This error is set if the disk is corrupt, wrongly formatted etc. Becomes active only
when an Archive is attempted.
Removable media full Floppy disk or PC card full. Becomes active only when an Archive is in progress.
SNTP server failure This alarm is set if:-
a) the year received from the server is < 2001 or > 2035 or
b) the configured SNTP server cannot be accessed
Time synchronisation failure Set if 5 or more 'Time change events' are caused by the SNTP server within 24 hrs.
A 'Time change event' is defined as occuring whenever the recorder time is found
to be more than 2 seconds different from the server time. The alarm does not ap-
pear until 24 hours after the first of the five-or-more Time Change events occurred.

3.1.3 ALARM INDICATORS (Cont.)

CHANNEL ALARM
This red 'bell' indicator appears if any channel is in alarm. The symbol is illuminated continuously if all alarms are
acknowledged or flashes if any active alarm is unacknowledged. Refer to ALARM ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, above,
for details of how to acknowledge alarms.

Note: If a point is in alarm, but not enabled in either group, the point's alarm symbol will behave as described
above, but the alarm will not appear in the Alarm Summary displays. Such channels can be acknowledged
only by using Ack All Alarms as described in section 3.1.2, above.

CHANGE BATTERY
This flashing indicator first appears when the battery voltage indicates that the battery is approaching the end of its
useful life. The indicator continues to flash until the battery is replaced (Annex B, section B3.2). The indicator does
not appear if the battery is not fitted.

3.1.4 Disk icon

This shows the free space available on the disk. The disk icon appears soon after a disk or data card is inserted. Only
archiving activity is indicated; during archiving, the central area of the disk icon flashes green, regularly. No other
disk activity is indicated.
This area of the icon flashes
green/white during archive
(or is solid red at remote viewer).

99%
Figure 3.1.4 Archive activity indication

Note: When seen via Remote Viewer,, the green flashing area of the disk appears as a solid red area during
archive activity.

3.1.5 FTP Icon

For those recorders fitted with Ethernet option, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) icon appears to the right of the disc
icon position, whenever transfer activity is taking place.

3.1.6 Configuration Locked indicator

This symbol appears only when the Remote Viewer software is being used, in the following situations:
1. Whilst units are 'synchronising' configuration changes
2. Whilst configuration is taking place. If the reconfiguration is taking place at the host pc, then the symbol appears
at the target instrument, and vice-versa.

vertical trend display as depicted in figure 3, but this can be edited (in Operator/Config - Views) to be any
of the available display modes - Horizontal trend, Vertical bargraph, Horizontal bargraph, Numeric etc.
Operator Causes the top level Operator page to appear. The appearance of this display is dictated by the security
level that the recorder is set to, and by the access level of the user. As despatched from the factory, the
recorder is in 'logged out' mode and the Operator page contains only the buttons labelled 'Archive', 'Secu-
rity' and System. Further details appear in 'Access to configuration' below.
File Allows the file system in that area of Flash memory that is accessible to the user, and the file system on
any floppy disk fitted to be viewed. See section 5 for details.
Goto View Allows the user to select the display mode for the current group, as shown in figure 3.2.1, below. Display
modes not enabled for this group in Config/Views configuration pages do not appear. Goto View also
offers an alternative means of entry to the Alarm Summary page described in section 3.1.3, and also al-
lows entry to the current group's Message Log pages, described below.
Goto Group Allows group 1 or group 2 (if fitted) to be selected for display. If group 2 is not fitted, the Goto Group
menu does not appear. If either group is not 'display enabled' in the Config/Views page (section 4.3.4) it
is greyed. An alarm icon appears on the relevant group key if it containing one or more points in alarm.
The icon flashes if any of the group's alarms have not been acknowledged.

3.2.1 KEY FUNCTIONS (Cont.)

MESSAGE LOG
The Root menu/Goto View/Message log key calls the first Message Log page for the current group to the screen, as
shown in figure 3.2.1c, below. Alternatively, Message Log can be selected from the Alarm & Message options menu,
(section 3.1.3) and in this case, if there are multiple groups, the user selects a 'Group' for the Message Log display
from a pop-up (Goto Group) menu.

If there are more messages than can be displayed in the height of the screen, a scroll bar appears to allow 'hidden'
messages to be displayed.

Messages are retrieved from the history files in batches of 100 messages. If there are more than 100 messages, 'Ear-
lier messages..' appears after the hundredth message. Touching 'Earlier messages..' calls the option menu, and touch-
ing 'Earlier messages..' in this menu, calls the next batch of 100, and so on. If applicable, operating 'Later messages..'
/ 'Later messages..' calls the previously displayed 100 messages.

As can be seen from the figure, the list of messages can be 'filtered' both by type and by time. For example, setting
the message type to 'Alarm' and the period filter to 'Last Day' excludes all messages except alarm messages which
have occurred within the previous 24 hours.

Enter history Operating the Enter History key causes the recorder to display that page of history which
includes the highlighted message. See section 3.4.1 for details of trend history. When in
Trend history mode, operating the Message Log key calls that message log page which
contains those messages which are nearest the trend history cursor time.
Full details If the highlighted message is wider than the display, the whole message can be displayed by
operating the 'Full Details' key.
Refresh/Earlier messages../Later messages..
'Refresh' places (at the top of the screen), any messages, which have occurred since the
Message Log page was last entered, or since the last 'Refresh'. If earlier or later messages have
been selected, then 'Refresh' is replaced by 'Earlier messages..' or 'Later messages..' as appro-
priate, and operating the key calls the next or previously displayed group of 100 messages to
the display respectively.

* The option menu can also be called by touching the option key. In this case:
a. Enter History calls the current Trend History display, as described in section 3.4.1, and
b. Because no message is highlighted, the 'Full Details' key is not enabled,

Notes:
1 Selecting 'Enter History' whilst either 'Earlier Messages' or 'Later Messages' is highlighted calls the cur-
rent History page.
2 If the Option Menu has 'timed out' leaving a message highlighted, and the option key is operated, then
this is equivalent to reselecting the message.

3.3 FIRST SWITCH-ON

When power is applied the recorder initialises, and once this process is complete, the home page is displayed. It is
unlikely that this will contain any useful information because the input channels will not, as yet, have been configured
to suit the type of input signals being applied to them, as described in section 4.

Notes:
1. There is no on-off switch associated with the recorder
2. Date, time and the message 'Power Up' are printed on the chart each time power is applied to the re-
corder, followed by date, time, Config Revision, Security Revision - see 'About' (section 4.6.5)
3. A red line is drawn across the width of the chart at power up.

The recorder has four security levels as follows


Logged out Initially, no access to recorder configuration is possible. Only Archive, Security/Login and the System
'About' functions can be accessed - via the root menu. Limited or full access can be permitted from
'Engineer' level.
Operator No access to recorder configuration is possible until access permissions have been set up. Section
4.4.1, describes how limited or full access can be permitted by an operator with 'Engineer' level access.
Engineer Accessed initially, by entering '10' as the password (section 3.3.1 below). Full access to all recorder
functions is available. Section 4.1.1 describes how the Engineer password can be edited and an Op-
erator level password edited, if required. The section also describes how access permission to some or
all of the recorder functions can be granted, or not, to individual user names and default security levels
(except service).
Service Full access to all recorder functions and to areas of recorder memory for diagnostic purposes. For use
only by Service Engineers.

3.3.1 ACCESS TO CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

TEXT STRING ENTRY


The keyboard which appears when the password area is touched is the same as that which appears when any non-
numeric text string entry is required (e.g. channel descriptor). Figures 3.3.1b and 3.3.1c below are an attempt, within
the limitations of the illustrating process, to depict the available keyboards and thus the available character set. Actual
entry of the text string is by touching the relevant key. For items which require only a numeric entry (e.g. channel
range) the numeric keyboard appears.

When editing existing text strings, the existing text string appears highlighted, and will be replaced in its entirety by
the first character entered. To avoid this, the left arrow key can be touched to 'unhighlight' it.

Immediately below the keyboard are six keys with the functions listed below. When active, the background colour
changes to yellow for as long as the key is active.

Shift* Once the shift key has been pressed, the next-entered letter appears as a capital; subsequent letters are in
lower case.

3.4 DISPLAY MODES

The display modes described below allow process values (input channels, totalisers etc. - known collectively as
points) for the current group to be displayed as vertical or horizontal 'chart' traces (Trend modes), as bargraphs (verti-
cal or horizontal) or as numeric values. The display mode associated with the home page is Group 1, Vertical Trend
when dispatched, but any of the other display modes can be selected as the home page in Configuration/Views - sec-
tion 4.3.4. The current display mode can be changed using the Root menu\Goto View key. The Home key returns the
user to the Home page from anywhere in the Operator or Configuration pages in the recorder.

3.4.1 Vertical Trend display

This (default) display (figure 3.4.1b) shows each point in the display group as though it were being traced on a white
chart. (It is possible to display on a black 'chart' instead, by selecting Dark Trend Background in Configuration/
Views). In either case, some thought should be given to trace colours selected in channel configuration. When se-
lected, dark background applies both to vertical and horizontal trend display modes for both Groups.

One of the channels is said to be the 'current' or 'scale' channel. This channel is identified by its diamond shaped pen
icon and by its descriptor, digital value and scale being displayed on a 'current-channel faceplate' across the full width
of the chart. Faceplates for all the group channels can be displayed, by using the Faceplates On/Off key in the option
menu. If selected On, faceplates (showing colour, descriptor, digital value and units) for all the group's channels ap-
pear either above the current channel's faceplate (one or two points in group) or at the right hand edge of the screen
(three or more points in the group). If there are more than six points in the group, a scroll bar also appears allowing
hidden faceplates to be viewed.

Each channel in the display group becomes the 'current' channel, in turn, for approximately 10 seconds – i.e. the chan-
nels are cycled-through, starting with the lowest numbered channel. Once the final channel in the group has been
displayed for 10 seconds, the lowest numbered channel is returned to and the sequence repeats. This scrolling process
can be stopped using the Channel Cycling key in the Option menu.

To select a particular channel to be the current channel, the relevant pen icon can be touched. To cycle through the
channels manually, the faceplate area is touched repeatedly until the required channel is reached.

If a channel is included in the display group but its status is 'not good' for some reason, then its pen icon is hollow.

3.4.1 VERTICAL TREND DISPLAY (Cont.)

TIME CHANGE RECORDS


For vertical trend mode only, a line is drawn across the width of the chart whenever a time discontinuity in the record
occurs. These lines are volatile in real-time i.e. they disappear if the display mode is changed, or if a configuration
page is called etc.
Red line A red line is drawn on the trend history chart at power up.
Blue line A blue line indicates that recording has been disable/enabled in Group Configuration (section 4.3.2), or
by a recording job (section 4.7.9).
Green line A green line appears if there has been a time change as a result of a clock job (section 4.7.6), an SNTP
synchronisation or by the operator physically changing the recorder time.

Note: Changes from standard time to daylight saving time and back again are not 'green lined' in this way

TREND HISTORY
Trend history, allows the user to view the history of the display group. The maximum amount that can be recalled
depends on a number of factors, including how many points are configured, how rapidly the traces are changing and
so on. At a recording rate of 20mm/hour (see group configuration - section 4.3.2), with all channels configured, a
minimum of 30 day's worth of traces is available for viewing, provided that the group contents are not re-configured
during this period (in which case, the history starts at the end of the re-configuration). The amount of trace visible on
the screen depends on the recording rate - the higher the rate, the less trace is visible at any one time.

Notes
1 Trend history is not available for groups with 'Recording Enable' disabled (Group configuration - section
4.3.2).
2 Channel cycling is inhibited in Trend History Mode. To increment the current channel, touch the
faceplate.
3 Group faceplates are not displayed in History Mode.
4. With A/B switching selected, traces are displayed with the 'A' or 'B' span/zone, colour settings etc. ob-
taining at the cursor time. See sections 4.3.2, 4.3.3 and 4.7 for more details of A/B switching.

To enter Trend History, the Root Menu Options key can be used (as shown in figure 3.4.1), or the trace area of the
screen can be continuously touched until the screen blanks prior to re-drawing. A 'Preparing History, please wait' mes-
sage appears whilst the re-drawing calculation is taking place. Although tracing stops whilst trend history mode is
active, no data is lost - Process Variable values are still saved in the recorder memory and alarms are still scanned-for
and any associated action taken.

The History display is similar to the real-time trend display, with the addition of a slider control and up and down
keys for selecting that part of trend history which is to be displayed. The controls are used as follows:
1 Touching the up/down key causes the record to move an incremental amount.
2 Holding the up/down key continuously, causes continuous movement.
3 Touching the bar above or below the slider causes a page-height shift.
4 Touching and dragging the slider, whilst observing the time/date display, allows the user to select the section of
history exactly.

On first entry to the History mode, the channel value and the time and date shown in the faceplate are those at the top
edge of the chart. Touching the screen causes a cursor to appear at point of screen contact. This cursor can be
touched and dragged up and down the screen to provide a reference point on the current trace. The displayed value
date and time refer to the cursor intersection with the current channel. To return to real-time trending, the Options key
in the root menu is operated, followed by 'Exit History'.

One of the channels is said to be the 'current' or 'scale' channel. This channel is identified by its pen icon being dia-
mond shaped rather than triangular as for non-current channels. If a channel is included in the display group but its
status is 'not good' for some reason, then its pen icon is hollow. Each channel in the display group becomes the 'cur-
rent' channel, in turn, for approximately 10 seconds – i.e. the channels are cycled-through, starting with the lowest
numbered channel. Once the final channel in the group has been displayed for 10 seconds, the lowest numbered chan-
nel is returned to and the sequence repeats. This scrolling process can be stopped using the Channel Cycling key in
the Option menu.

As well as the normal faceplate above the 'chart', showing the current channel's descriptor and its digital value, a
bargraph representation of the current channel's value together with a scale showing the low and high range values for
the channel appears to the right of the chart. Touching the faceplate or the bargraph* causes the current channel
number to increment. To select a particular channel to be the current channel, the relevant pen icon can be touched. In
either case, the bargraph and the background colour of the channel descriptor takes the colour of the current channel.

Time and date are printed on the 'chart' immediately to the right of alternate vertical grid lines, and it is these grid
lines to which the printed time relates.

There is no horizontal trace Trend History function - touching the 'chart' for a few seconds (or using the Root menu
Options key, then 'Enter History') calls the vertical trend history page described in section 3.4.1, above.

*Note: For 'zoned' points (section 4.3.3), the bargraph must be touched within the scale area to increment the
channel.

4 SETTING UP THE RECORDER

As described in the 'Access to Configuration' (section 3.3.1) above, the setting-up of the recorder is divided into the
following areas:
Archive Section 4.1 - Allows manual archiving of data to disk or (if the Ethernet option is fitted) to a remote
host (FTP transfer).
Save/restore Section 4.2 - Allows new configurations to be created and saved, and saved configurations to be 're-
stored'.
Config Section 4.3 - This is the major channel/alarm/option etc. area of configuration.
Security Section 4.4 - Allows passwords to be entered and edited and allows the Engineer-level password
holder to enable/disable areas of configuration to Operator-level password holders. New users can be
added, with their own user names, passwords and access level permissions.
Network Section 4.5 - This area sets up the IP address/host names etc. used in FTP transfer, Remote Viewer and
SNTP applications (if the Ethernet option is fitted).
System Section 4.6 - Allows:
Time and date functions to be set and edited (including daylight saving start and finish dates, time
zones etc.)
Display language to be chosen
Option key codes to be entered
Inputs to be adjusted.
System contains an 'About' screen describing the software/hardware status of the recorder.
Section 4.7 describes the various job categories available to the user

Note: In all the following descriptions, if a change is made to a menu item, then the item text changes from
black to red, until it is 'saved'.

4.1 ARCHIVE
Note: The archiving functions described below can also be initiated by job action - see section 4.7.12

4.1.1 Archive to disk

This allows the user to initiate data transfer, to a mass storage medium such as a floppy disk, for all groups with 'Ar-
chive to Media' enabled (Group configuration - section 4.3.2), by touching the relevant archive period key (e.g. Last
Day').

Archiving starts as soon as the selection is made, and cannot be stopped until completed, unless the Cancel Archive
key is operated, in which case the archive will be stopped after a confirmatory message has been responded to. The
Cancel key is active only if 'Archiving Control' is enabled in Security/Access (section 4.4 of this manual). If archiv-
ing is enabled for more than one group, a warning message appears.

Selection of 'Bring Archive Up To Date' causes the recorder to select whichever of the Last Hour/Last Day etc. cat-
egories is appropriate to bring the archive up to date. Figure 4.4.1 shows the archive to disk menu.

If the disk becomes full before archiving is complete, archiving pauses and a pop-up request appears, asking for the
disk to be replaced. If this request is not responded-to within 10 minutes of its appearance, archiving is aborted,

Unattended archiving can be paused by the user (e.g. to change disks without losing data) by operating the 'Suspend
Archiving' / 'Resume Archiving' button. Any archiving in progress is allowed to complete before the 'Suspend Archiv-
ing' request takes effect. Transfer activity is indicated in the 'Archive transfer' window. Should the disk become full,
the user will be prompted to replace it with a different one.

Below the selection buttons are a number of status windows relating to the mass storage medium.

If automatic archiving is active (section 4.3.5), then this and the manual archive will operate on a first come-first
served basis. Some files will be saved twice in such a circumstance, the later archive's files overwriting any earlier
archive's files which have the same name.

4.1.2 Remote archiving (FTP transfer)

This allows archiving of recorder files, for all groups with 'Archive via FTP' enabled, to a remote computer, connected
(using the RJ45 telephone type connector at the rear of the recorder) either directly, or via a network . 'Archive via
FTP' is enabled/disabled as part of (Group configuration - section 4.3.2)

In order to carry out a successful transfer, details of the remote host must be entered in the Archive section of the
'Config' menu (section 4.3.5).

Note: An FTP server must be running on the remote host.

Figure 4.1.2 shows the archive menu for remote archiving. The Archive last hour/day etc. keys allow the user to de-
termine which files are to be archived. Selection of 'Bring Archive Up To Date' causes the recorder to select which-
ever of the Last Hour/Last Day etc. categories is appropriate in order to bring the archive up to date. The 'Last
Archive' window shows the time and date of the previous archive. The Archive Transfer window shows archive status
as 'Active' or 'Inactive'.

Additionally, a user on a remote PC has full viewing capabilities, can extract recorder files at any time, and can access
those items of recorder configuration that are associated with the user's login. For successful connection, 'Connect
from Remote' must be enabled and the 'Remote user name' and 'Remote password' must be defined in one of the ac-
counts (all in the Security access menu (section 4.4.1)).

Notes:
1. In order to view history files when accessing the instrument remotely, the recorder's address, the 'Remote
user name' and the 'Remote password' must be supplied to an FTP client such as PC Review or
Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
2. When accessing files using Microsoft® Internet Explorer, the address (URL) field can be in one of two
forms:
a ftp://<instrument IP address>. This allows the user to log in as the anonymous user (if the instru-
ment has any account with 'Remote user name' set to 'Anonymous' and a blank password).
b ftp://<user name>:<password>@<instrument IP address> to log in as a specific user.
3. For IE5 users only: Microsoft® Internet Explorer displays, by default, history files only. To exit the
history folder, either uncheck the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Browsing/"Enable folder view for
FTP sites" option, or check the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Browsing/"Use Web based FTP" option.

can be Restored only to recorders running software versions 1.8 or higher. The message 'Unsupported File' appears if
an attempt is made to save an 'Unchecked' configuration into a pre version 1.8 recorder. See Section 4.6.5 (About) for
details of how to determine software version.

4.2.2 Restore

Touching this item allows the user to select or type-in a previously saved configuration file name, which will then be
used as the current configuration. Touching the 'Restore' key completes the operation. Tick boxes allow one or more
of Configuration Data, Security Data (note 3), Network Data or Screen Data to be chosen to be restored.
Notes
1 Screen data relates to faceplate status for vertical trend and vertical bargraph display modes.
2. If archiving is in progress when a 'Restore' is requested, the Restore operation will be delayed until the
archive is complete (maybe several minutes). If required, the 'Cancel Archive' key can be used to speed
up the restore process, at the cost of losing the archive data.
3. If 'Centralised Security' is active (part of Security Management configuration - section 4.4.2) 'Security
Data' is not selectable (either for 'Restore' or 'New' (below)).

4.2.3 New

Touching this item causes the factory entered default configuration to be loaded for use, or for editing. Operation of
the New/Default key completes the operation. Tick boxes allow one or more of Configuration Data, Security Data
(note 3, above), Network Data or Screen Data to be chosen to be restored. (Screen Data relates to faceplate status for
vertical trend and vertical bargraph display modes.)

4.2.4 Text

This is identical to the 'Save' function described above, but the configuration is saved in ASCII format, and can be
transferred to a computer and read, printed etc. as required. It is not possible, using this means, to modify the con-
figuration and then re-load it.

4.2.5 Import User Linearisation

The Import Linearisation feature allows linearisation tables to be imported either via the floppy disk, or if the Remote
Viewer option is fitted,directly from the host PC.

Touching the User Linearisation field allows the user to select which of 'UserLin1' to 'UserLin4' is to contain the im-
ported file.

Touching the File Name field, calls a popup menu similar to that shown in figure 4.2b. This allows the user to select
the table to be imported.

The file must be comma separated ASCII as follows:


n,
X1,Y1
X2.Y2
X3,Y3
.
.
Xn,Yn
where 'n' is the total number of XY pairs in the table, and or each pair, X is the input value, and Y is the linearised
value corresponding to X.

See section 4.3.8 for full details.

Note: Imported linearisation tables will not become effective until after the next configuration 'Apply'
operation

4.2.6 Export User Linearisation

Similar to 'Import user Linearisation, above, the Export Linearisation feature allows linearisation tables created in the
recorder to be exported either via the floppy disk, or if the Remote Viewer option is fitted,directly to the host PC.

See section 4.3.8 for full details.

Note: If an exported linearisation table is to be used in a recorder with software version prior to version 2.2, it
must be exported in Numeric format (i.e. not in Scientific format).

4.3 CONFIGURATION

Touching this key calls the top level configuration pick list: Instrument, Groups, Channels, Views, Archive, Events,
Messages, etc. as shown in the overview figure (figure 4.3).

When making changes to the configuration the name of each changed parameter is displayed in red (instead of the
normal black) until the 'Apply/Discard' key has been operated. For example, in channel configuration, if a thermocou-
ple were to be changed from Type J to Type K, 'Lin Type' would appear in red, until the Apply key was operated.

Should an attempt be made to leave configuration with unsaved changes, a warning message appears, allowing the
user to apply the changes, to discard the changes or to return to configuration (Cancel).

Allows the entry of an alphanumeric name for the recorder, up to 20 characters long. See section 3.3.1 for text entry
techniques.

NORMAL/SAVER DISPLAY
Allows normal and 'saver' display brightnesses to be defined. Defaults are Normal = 100%; Saver = 50%.

SAVE AFTER
The number of minutes (between 1 and 99 inclusive), which are to elapse after a screen operation, before the screen
brightness changes from 'normal' to 'saver'. Default is one minute.

MODBUS ADDRESS
Allows a Modbus address of between 1 and 247 to be set up for the unit when it is acting as a Modbus slave.

MODBUS SECURITY DISABLED


When using MODBUS, it is possible, by 'checking' this field to allow a host computer to access the recorder without
its first having to supply a valid User name and Password. This box must be checked if this unit is acting as a Modbus
slave in order for the unit to be detected. Once communications have been established, Modbus security can be ena-
bled, providing that the Slave's Remote user name and password have been entered at the Master. See also section
2.2.4 of the Communications Manual.

COMMS CHANNEL TIMEOUT


Allows a number of seconds (between 1 and 999) to be entered. If none of the channels set to 'Comms' is communi-
cated with, within this period, an event source (Comms channel timeout) is set, and remains set until the next commu-
nication. An entry of 0 disables the time out.

PRESET HOUR
Enter an hours number between 0 and 23 for use with Clock Job - Preset clock.

4.3.2 GROUP CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

TREND SPEED/TREND INTERVAL


Allows the 'chart' speed to be selected either as mm or in per hour, or as an interval. Entering a value in one field
automatically converts the value in the other field. A trend interval of N seconds is equivalent to 1200/N mm/hr chart
speed; a chart speed of P mm/hr is equivalent to a trend interval of 1200/P seconds.

If A/B switching is enabled, a second Trend Speed /Interval value can be entered. Trend Speed/Interval 'A' is used
during normal operation. Trend Speed/Interval 'B' is switched to by job action, as described in section 4.7

GRID TYPE
Grid type allows the chart grid type to be defined for the group being configured. This is not necessarily related to
channel scale (section 4.3.3), unless 'From point' is selected, when the grid matches the scale of the selected point.

NONE
No chart grid is traced.

LINEAR
The chart grid is linear, with the major and minor divisions defined by the fields Grid Divisions - Major and Minor,
which appear if 'Linear' is selected as grid type.
Figure 4.3.2b, below, defines major and minor divisions.

LOG
This menu item appears only if the Log Scales option is fitted.
The chart grid is logarithmic, with the number of decades being selected in the 'Grid Decades' field which appears if
'Log' is selected as Grid Type. Figure 4.3.2b gives an example.

4.3.2 GROUP CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

RECORDING ENABLE
This tick box allows the logging of this group's data to the Flash memory to be enabled or disabled.
When disabled:
a The Recording speed/interval fields, described below, do not appear.
b Display trends are not preserved when changing 'Views'.

Note: If one or more Recording Jobs (section 4.7.9) are set to act on a group, then the group will be recorded
only whilst the job is active, and only if Recording is enabled for the group.

RECORDING SPEED/RECORDING INTERVAL


If Recording is enabled, these fields are as for trend speed/interval but define the rate at which data is saved to Flash
memory. This value also affects how much trace history appears per screen height in trend history mode (section
3.4.1). If recording is not enabled, these fields do not appear.

If A/B switching is enabled, a second Recording Speed /Interval value can be entered. Recording Speed/Interval 'A' is
used during normal operation. Recording Speed/Interval 'B' is switched to by job action, as described in section 4.7.

TREND HISTORY DURATION


Gives an estimated time to fill the group's trend history area of the Flash memory. The calculation is based on the
archive rate, the compression ratio, the flash size and on the exact nature of the data. (Rapidly changing values use
more space than static/slowly changing values.)

For recorders with two groups, changing the contents of one group may affect the Trend History Duration of the other
group. This happens because the recorder attempts to store, as nearly as possible, the same amount of history for both
groups, regardless of how many points there are in each group.

For an 'empty' group, the Trend History Duration is displayed as '0' Days

ARCHIVE TO MEDIA/ARCHIVE VIA FTP


If Recording is enabled, these tick boxes allow the archiving of this group's data to removable mass storage media
(e.g. floppy disk) and to a remote host (FTP) to be enabled or disabled. If recording is not enabled, these tick boxes do
not appear.

Note: For recorders with two groups, it is recommended that only one group be set up for automatic archiv-
ing. This is because history files are typically 400kB in size, and this limits the number of files that can be
saved, to a 1.4MB floppy disk, to three. If more than one group is set up to archive, and if 'Overwrite' strat-
egy is selected, then it is likely that data for one of the groups will be lost. If an attempt is made to set up
more than one group for archiving, the following message appears:
'Not recommended to archive more than 1 group to floppy disk due to limited space - see manual'

ALARM MESSAGE
This box allows the printing of alarm on and off messages on the 'chart' to be enabled (cross) or disabled (no cross) as
required. Alarm messages appear on the trend display and in PC Review in the form HH:MM:SS Alarm ON n/m and
HH:MM:SS Alarm OFF n/m, where 'n' is the relevant channel number and 'm' is the alarm number (1 or 2).

4.3.3 CHANNEL/ALARM CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

Example: A type J thermocouple is used to measure a temperature range of 100 to 200 degrees Celsius. This thermo-
couple output is transmitted to the recorder by a 4 to 20 mA transmitter, for display as an efficiency value between 0
and 100%. In such a case, the following values would be set up:

Input type = milliamp


Input range low = 4.0
Input range high = 20.0
Scale low = 0.0
Scale high = 100
Scale units = %
Linearisation range low = 100
Linearisation range high = 200
Linearisation type units = degrees C
Linearisation type = Type J thermocouple.
Input shunt value = 250 ohms

Note: The following description shows all possible fields. The recorder itself edits the list and shows only
those fields appropriate to the setup so far. For example, the 'Shunt' field appears only for mA input type.

CHANNEL NUMBER
The current channel and its descriptor are displayed. Touching the window area allows another channel to be selected
for configuration.

VALUE
This field shows the current value of the selected channel along with either 'Unadjusted' or the time and date of adjust-
ment.

INPUT TYPE
Select thermocouple, millivolt, Volt, milliamp, RTD, Ohms, Digital (not channel 1),Slave Comms or Test as input
type. Slave Comms must be selected if the channel is to be written-to via Modbus TCP..

LIN TYPE
The following linearisation tables are available as standard:
Linear, square root, x3/2, x5/2, UserLin1 to UserLin4 (see section 4.3.8 for details).
Thermocouple types B, C, D, E, G2, J, K, L, N, R, S, T, U, NiMo/NiCo, Platinel, Ni/NiMo, Pt20%Rh/Pt40%Rh
Resistance thermometer (RTD) types Cu10, Pt100, Pt100A, JPT100, Pt1000, Ni100, Ni120, Cu53.
For input ranges, accuracies etc. associated with the above thermocouple/RTD tables, see the specification section
(Annex A) of this manual.

INPUT LOW
Enter the lowest value to be applied to the input terminals (e.g.4.00).

INPUT HIGH
Enter the highest value to be applied across the input terminals (e.g. 20.00).

SHUNT
Allows a shunt resistor value to be entered for input type = mA. Commonly used values are 100 ohms and 250 ohms.
Note that shunt resistors are connected to the input connector. The recorder cannot detect whether a shunt is fitted, or
if one is, what value it has. Therefore it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the ohmic value of any shunt
fitted matches the shunt value entered in this field.

RANGE LOW
Enter the lowest value of the required linearisation range (e.g. 100)

RANGE HIGH
Enter the highest value of the required linearisation range (e.g. 200)

RANGE UNITS
Selectable from degrees Celsius, degrees Fahrenheit, Kelvin or Rankine.

SCALED
This box allows the user to select low and high values and units for a scale.

SCALE LOW
Enter the scale value to correspond with input range low (e.g. 0).

SCALE HIGH
Enter the scale value to correspond with input range high (e.g. 100).

SCALE UNITS
Enter up to five characters of unit descriptor (% RH for example).

Note:
User lineariation table units.
The Range Units selection box can be used to set user linearisation table units to temperature units (˚C for
example).
To enter custom units instead, 'Scaled' must be selected. Scale low and scale high must be set to range low
and range high respectively. The required units string is then enterd in the Scale Units text entry box.

OFFSET
Allows a fixed value to be added to or subtracted from the process variable. Recorder accuracy figures no longer
apply if an offset is included.

SCALE TYPE
This field allows 'None', 'Linear' or (if the Log Scales option is fitted), 'Log' to be selected as scale type. For linear
scales, the number ofmajor/minor scale divisions can be selected. This does not affect the 'chart' grid divisions, which
is set up as a part of Group configuration (section 4.3.2).

NONE
Channels with Scale Type selected to 'None', appear with no scale information in any display mode.

LINEAR
Channels with Scale Type = Linear, appear with scale information in all display modes (except numeric). The number
of major and minor divisions can be selected from subsequent fields. Examples are shown in figure 4.3.3b, above.

LOG
This menu item appears only if the Log Scales option is fitted.
Channels with Scale Type = Log, appear with logarithmic scales. These scales have major divisions at each decade
boundary, and (space permitting), minor divisions for mantissa values 2 to 9. Examples are shown in figure 4.3.3b,
below. Because of the nature of logarithms, neither negative values nor the value 0 can be used as scale 'zero'.

clearly. None, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 seconds can be selected.

It is not recommended that damping be used on quickly changing signals.

4.3.3 CHANNEL/ALARM CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

BREAK RESPONSE
For thermocouples and other low level inputs (i.e. input voltages less than 150mV), the recorder can be made to re-
spond in one of the following ways, if a break in the input circuit is detected.
None trace drifts with the input wiring acting as an aerial.
Drive hi trace placed at full scale
Drive lo trace placed at scale 'zero'

COLD JUNCTION COMPENSATION (CJC)


For input type = thermocouple, None, Internal, External or Remote can be selected for cold junction compensation.

INTERNAL
Internal CJC is by means of an RTD connected across pins 11 and 12 of the input board connector.

EXTERNAL Break Response None


If the cold junction is maintained (by the user) at a known, fixed tempera- Cold Junction Type External
ture, 'external' should be selected. An extra numeric entry box appears to External CJ Temp 0
allow the user to enter the temperature at which the cold junction is main- Descriptor Furnace1 Temp
tained.

REMOTE
'Remote' is selected if the cold junction temperature is to be Break Response None
measured by an external device connected to the instrument. Cold Junction Type Remote
An extra picklist appears which allows the user to select any Remote CJ Temp from Channel 3 ˚C
input or maths channel to act as the cold junction temperature Descriptor Furnace1 Temp

source channel. The temperature units displayed here, are those of


the channel being configured, not those of the CJ source channel. The CJ source channel must be configured appropri-
ately for the external device, and must provide a value which is consistent with the configured channel's units.

DESCRIPTOR
Allows a text string of up to 20 characters (including spaces) to be entered for the channel descriptor. (E.G. 'Turbine 2
tempA').

A/B SWITCHING
If enabled, this function allows alternative Span, Zone and Trace Colour values to be entered. 'A' values are used
during normal operation. 'B' values are switched to by job action, as described in section 4.7

SPANNED
This box, when selected, allows span low and high values to be entered. For example, in an input range of 0 to 600
deg C, it may be that the temperature range between 500 and 600 degrees is of most interest. In such a case, setting
span low to 500 and span high to 600 will cause the recorder to display only that part of the input range, and this will
fill the zone width which is selected next, effectively magnifying the area of interest.

If A/B switching is enabled, a second set of span low and span high values can be entered. 'A' values are used during
normal operation. 'B' values are switched to by job action, as described in section 4.7.

4.3.3 CHANNEL/ALARM CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

ZONE
This allows the portion of the chart which the channel occupies to be defined in terms of percent, where the left edge
of the chart is 0% and the right hand edge is 100%. For example, setting a low value of 50 and a high value of 100
causes the channel trace to be confined to the right hand half of the chart.

If A/B switching is enabled, a second set of zone low and zone high values can be entered. 'A' values are used during
normal operation. 'B' values are switched to by job action, as described in section 4.7.

PV FORMAT
This allows the PV value, alarm setpoints, hysteresis values etc. to be displayed as normal numeric values (Numeric)
or in 'Scientific' format (Scientific). When 'Scientific' is selected, values are displayed and entered as a decimal
number between 1 and 10† (the mantissa), followed by a multiplier (the exponent). E.G. to enter a value of
1244.5678, the value entered would be 1.2445678E3, where 3 represents the number of places that the decimal point
must be shifted to the left in order to convert the value to a number between 1 and 10†. To enter a value of
0.0004196, the entry would be 4.196E-4.

† Notes
1. Strictly this is a number less than 10, as 10 would be 1.0E1.
2. There must be at least one number after the decimal point.

MAXIMUM DECIMAL DIGITS


This defines the number of decimal places in the process value. Settable between zero and nine. Leading and trailing
zeros are not displayed. Values too long for the available displaying width are truncated as described in section 3.

COLOUR
Allows the trace colour to be selected from a colour chart. Each of the 56 available colours is displayed with a
number, and it is this number which is entered. The background colour to the selection box changes to the selected
colour.

If A/B switching is enabled, a second colour selection can be entered. Colour 'A' is used during normal operation.
Colour 'B' is switched to by job action, as described in section 4.7

4.3.3 CHANNEL/ALARM CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

ALARM NUMBER
Allows an alarm to be selected for configuration. (One or two for 16MB DRAM recorders; one to four for 32MB
versions.)

ENABLE
Allows the alarm to be defined as Off, Unlatched, Latched or Trigger

Off Alarm is disabled and the remainder of the alarm configuration is hidden.
Unlatched Unlatched alarms become active when the trigger source becomes active and remain active
until the source returns to a non-active state.
The indicator is on (flashing before acknowledgment - steady after acknowledgement) until
the alarm clears.
Alarm messages are printed if enabled in group configuration.
Latched Latched alarms become active when the trigger source becomes active and remain active until
the alarm is acknowledged AND the trigger source has returned to a non-active state.
The indicator is on (flashing before acknowledgment - steady after acknowledgement) until
the alarm has been acknowledged AND the trigger source has returned to a non-active state.
Alarm messages are printed if enabled in group configuration.
Continuous jobs remain active only whilst the alarm trigger source is active. I.E. the job
finishes when the alarm clears, whether acknowledged or not.
Trigger When triggered all associated jobs are initiated, and continuous jobs remain active until the
alarm clears. There is no alarm indication, and no messages are printed.

TYPE
This field appears only when the alarm Enable is not selected Off. Each alarm can be defined as absolute high, abso-
lute low, deviation-in, deviation-out, rate-of-change rise or rate-of-change fall.

Absolute High As shown in figure 4.3.3d, an absolute high alarm becomes active when the channel value exceeds the
threshold value. The alarm remains active until the channel value falls below (Threshold minus hyster-
esis). If a dwell value is defined, the alarm does not become effective until this dwell time has been ex-
ceeded.
Absolute Low As shown in figure 4.3.3d, an absolute low alarm becomes active when the channel value falls below the
threshold value. The alarm remains active until the channel value exceeds (Threshold + hysteresis). If a
dwell value is defined, the alarm does not become effective until this dwell time has been exceeded.
Deviation in As shown in figure 4.3.3e, a deviation-in alarm becomes active whenever the channel value enters the
band: Reference ± Deviation. It remains active until the channel value leaves the band: Reference ± (De-
viation + Hysteresis). If a dwell value is defined, the alarm does not become effective until this dwell
time has been exceeded.
Deviation out As shown in figure 4.3.3e, a deviation-out alarm is active whenever the channel value leaves the band
Reference ± Deviation. It remains active until the channel value enters the band: Reference ± (Devia-
tion - Hysteresis). If a dwell value is defined, the alarm does not become effective until this dwell time
has been exceeded.
Rate of change As shown in figure 4.3.3f, rate of change alarms become active whenever the signal value changes by
more than a specified amount within a specified period. If a dwell value is defined, the alarm does not
become effective until this dwell time has been exceeded. An averaging period can be set to remove the
effects of sudden, but short-lived changes, such as noise spikes on the signal.

Note: Alarm icons appear at the display, as described in section 3 of this manual.

4.3.3 CHANNEL/ALARM CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

PARAMETERS
Figures 4.3.3d, e and f illustrate the following terms for the different alarm types.

Threshold For Absolute alarms, this defines the value (in engineering units) at which an alarm is triggered. The
alarm also returns to its non-active state at this value unless a threshold value has been set, If a dwell
value is set, the alarm does not become active until this dwell time has elapsed.
Hysteresis Defines a 'deadband' (in engineering units) to eliminate spurious triggering if the signal value is hovering
around the trigger point. The deadband lies:
Below Absolute High thresholds
Above Absolute Low thresholds
Outside the deviation band for Deviation-in alarms
Inside the deviation band for Deviation-out alarms.
Dwell Allows a dwell period to be entered in seconds. The alarm does not take effect until this period has ex-
pired. If an alarm clears before the dwell period has expired, the alarm is ignored.
Reference For Deviation alarms, this is the central value of the deviation band.
Deviation For Deviation alarms, this value defines the width of the deviation band, each side of the reference value.
I.E. the total width of the deviation band is 2 x Deviation value.
Amount For Rate-of-change alarms, this value defines the amount by which the signal value would have to
change, within the 'Change Time' period (below), in order for the alarm to become active.
Change Time For Rate-of-change alarms, this selects the time period (Per second, Per minute, Per hour) within which
the change in signal value must exceed the Amount value (entered in the preceding field) in order for the
alarm to become active.
Average time For rate-of-change alarms, this allows an average period to be entered for signal smoothing.

EXAMPLE
Threshold = 100 units; Hysteresis = 5 units
A high alarm becomes active when its input rises
above 100 and remains active until its value falls
below 95 units. A low alarm becomes active when
its input falls below 100 units, and remains active
until its input rises above 105 units.

4.3.5 Archive configuration

This allows an archive strategy to be set up for saving data to disk or (if the Ethernet option is fitted) to a remote PC.
The disk strategy includes archive period, disk full operation, compression factor and an estimate of how much ar-
chive period is left in the recorder memory and on the disk. The recorder uses a dedicated area of its Flash memory as
an archive data buffer; data is written to the disk or remote PC only when required, rather than continuously.

If the CSV option is fitted, then files can be archived in Comma Separated Values (CSV) format and/or the standard
Packed Binary (uhh) format. CSV format files are not as secure as Packed Binary format files are.

In order to carry out a successful remote archive, details of the remote host must be entered both in this Archive sec-
tion of the 'Config' menu, and in Network configuration (section 4.5). Further, the current access level must have
'Connect from remote' enabled in the Security/Access menu (section 4.4.1).

This shows which group has the shorter amount of Flash memory allocated to its history record. Providing the ar-
chive period is less than the value displayed in the Duration window, no data will be lost from either group. If the
archive period is greater than this value, then some of the data in one or both groups will have been overwritten and
therefore lost.

CSV CHECKBOXES, DATE/TIME FORMAT


These checkboxes appear only if 'CSV' or 'Binary and CSV' has been selected in the ftp file format field, described
below. refer to the CSV section at the ned of this subsection (4.3.5)

SHOW
This allows the fields which are to appear below 'Show' to be applicable to disk (Disk Settings), or to the setting up of
a remote host path for archiving purposes (Remote settings). The following descriptions contain all the fields which
may appear in either menu.

ARCHIVE TO MEDIA
None Archive to disk is initiated by the operator (section 4.1)
Hourly Archive to disk occurs on the hour every hour
Daily Archive to disk occurs at 00:00* hrs each day
Weekly Archive to disk occurs at 00:00* hrs every Monday
Monthly Archive to disk occurs at 00:00* hrs on the 1st of each month
Automatic The recorder selects the slowest out of Hourly, Daily, Weekly or Monthly, which is guaranteed not to
lose data. This is calculated according to which of the trend history buffer or the disk is the smaller. The
recorder assumes that the disk is 'empty' when making these calculations.

*Note: Archive times are not adjusted for Daylight Saving hour changes. Thus if the archive is set to 'daily',
'weekly' or ' monthly' then, during 'Summer Time', the archive will occur an hour late (i.e. at 01:00 hrs. instead
of midnight).

MEDIA FULL OPERATION


For Disk Settings only:
Overwrite Oldest data replaced with latest data when disk is full
Stop Archiving stops when the disk is full

Notes
1. The maximum number of history files (total for both groups) is 750 per directory.
2. When in 'Overwrite' mode, the recorder will overwrite only those files which it has itself created. Thus, if
a disk is inserted which contains history files from another recorder, these cannot be overwritten. The file
names are of the form UUU....UUUIIIIIIFFGGSSSSSS, where IIIIII represent the lowest three
bytes of MAC address of the recorder which created the file (see section 4.5.1). It is not possible for the
user to delete files created by another instrument (i.e. one with another MAC address).

MEDIA SIZE
For Disk Settings only, allows the size of the Disk to be entered, for user information only. This item is not saved as
part of the configuration.

DISK ARCHIVE CAPACITY


For Disk Settings only, this gives an estimated time to fill the disk, based on the archive rate, the compression ratio,
the disk size and on the exact nature of the data. (Rapidly changing values use more space than static/slowly changing
values.)

MEDIA FULL EVENT LIMIT


For disk settings only, this allows the user to specify a percentage-full value for the disk or pc card, at which the
event source 'Archive media % full' is triggered. The event remains active until the disk or pc card is replaced, or has
data removed from it to make more room available.

ARCHIVE TO REMOTE

Note: Archive to remote is available only if the Ethernet option is fitted

For Remote settings only:


None Archive to host is initiated by the operator (section 4.1.2)
Hourly Archive to host occurs on the hour every hour
Daily Archive to host occurs at 00:00* hrs each day
Weekly Archive to host occurs at 00:00* hrs every Monday
Monthly Archive to host occurs at 00:00* hrs on the 1st of each month
Automatic The recorder selects the slowest out of ‘Hourly’, Daily, Weekly or Monthly, which is guaranteed not to

MEDIA/FTP FILE FORMAT


This allows 'Binary', 'CSV' or both to be selected for file type when archiving. 'Binary' is the proprietary format used
by the instrument and it requires other software (e.g. Review Software) to interpret the data, before it can be presented
in spreadsheets, shown as if on a chart etc. Binary files have the extension '.uhh'.

4.3.5 ARCHIVE CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

MEDIA/FTP FILE FORMAT (Cont.)

CSV format is a standard open-file format for numeric data. A simple ASCII-based format, it is readable by a wide
range of PC applications as well as being suitable for direct import into many commercial databases. CSV files have
the extension '.csv'.

Note: CSV is ASCII based, and cannot interpret Unicode characters. Some characters available to the user
will therefore be displayed incorrectly in CSV files.

If 'CSV' or 'Binary and CSV' is selected, a number of extra checkboxes appear. Figure 4.3.5c above shows a typical
menu page. Figure 4.3.5d, below, shows the effects of enabling the CSV checkboxes, with the exception of 'CSV
use Tab delimiter' the use of which is as follows:

CSV USE TAB DELIMITER


Despite its name, CSV does not always use commas as separators.

For example, in some countries, the decimal point is represented by a full stop (period), whilst in other areas, a
comma is used. In order to avoid confusion between the comma as a decimal point and the comma as a separator, a
different separator is used, usually the semicolon.

The instrument automatically chooses a separator suitable for use with the 'Locale' selected in System Configuration
(section 4.6.2). 'CSV Use Tab delimiter' allows the user to override this choice, and force the instrument to use tabs as
separators. This can be particularly useful when moving the data from one locale to another.

CSV DATE/TIME FORMAT


Allows 'Text' or Spreadsheet numeric to be selected. Text causes a time/date to appear in the spreadsheet.
Spreadsheet numeric displays the number of days since December 30th 1899. The decimal part of the value repre-
sents the latest 6 hours, so DDD---DDD.25 represents 0600 hrs, DDD---DDD.5 represents noon etc. Numeric format
is more easily interpretable by some spreadsheets, than Text format is.

EVENT NUMBER
Allows the required event (1 to 6) to be selected for configuration.

SOURCE TYPES
Off The event is disabled
Global alarm The event is active whilst any one or more alarms is active
Global Unack'd alarm The event is active as long as there is an unacknowledged alarm present.
Comms channel timeout The event is set if no communication has been made with 'Comms' channels within the
Comms channel timeout period set in Instrument configuration (section 4.3.1). The
source is reset when the next communication occurs.
Timer active The event is triggered when a specified timer becomes active (section 6 of the Options
manual). If the Timers option is not fitted, 'Timer Active' does not appear in the picklist.
Event Allows another event to be specified as a source.
Point alarm Triggered by the specified alarm on the specified point.
Unack'd point alarm Triggered by the specified alarm on the specified point. Remains active until the alarm is
acknowledged (section 3.1.3).
Alarm on Group Triggered if any alarm in the specified group becomes active.
Unack'd Alarm on Group Triggered if any alarm in the specified group becomes active. The event remains active
until the alarm is acknowledged.
Instrument alarm This source triggers an event if any of the following becomes active:
Any, Input channel failure, Removable media failure, Removable media full, No remov-
able media fitted, FTP primary server failure, FTP secondary server failure, Maths chan-
nel failure, Clock failure, Unrecognised PC card, Recording failure - overflow, Floppy
disk worn, Floppy disk corrupt, Network Boot failure, SNTP server failure, Time Syn-
chronisation Failure, Battery backed RAM cleared. The event remains active until the
instrument alarm clears. See section 3.1.3 for more details of instrument alarms.

4.3.6 EVENT CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

EVENT SOURCES (Cont.)

Power up A transient event is triggered at power up.


Maths channel partial failure For recoders fitted with the Maths pack option, this event is set if, say, one of the inputs
to a group averaging function becomes invalid. In such a case, the average will be calcu-
lated on the remaining input values, but the result may not be as accurate as expected.
Loss of one input can also be important in functions such as Fvalue, where several sen-
sors may be distributed within the load and their outputs used in a group minimum calcu-
lation for input into the Fvalue equation.
Battery Low This event is set when the battery is reaching the end of its useful life. The event re-
mains active until the battery is replaced.
Archive media % full Triggered when the floppy disk or PC card has reached the % fullness defined in Archive
configuration (section 4.3.5).
Invalid Password Entry Transient event at the point of an invalid password entry attempt
User Logged In This event becomes active whenever a user with the specified Event Permission logs in.
The event remains active until all local and remote users, with the specified permission,
have logged out. See also section 4.4.1 (Access levels).
Email Failure This event source appears only if the e-mail option is fitted (options manual section 11),
and is triggered if an attempt to send an e-mail is unsuccessful.

SOURCE 1 SENSE
Allows source 1 to be used in its normal sense (Select 'Source 1') or inverted (Select 'Not Source 1').

Example: Source 1 is alarm 1 on channel 3


With Source 1 Sense = Source 1, the event is active whenever channel 3 alarm 1 is active.
With Source 1 Sense = Not Source 1, the event is active whenever the alarm is not active.

OPERATOR
This allows a logical combination of input sources to be used to trigger an event. The selections and their definitions
are shown in table 4.3.6, below.

Operator Event active when: Event not active when:

Only S1 Active S1 not active

AND S1 and S2 both active S1 and/or S2 not active

OR S1 and/or S2 active S1 and S2 both not active

NAND S1 and/or S2 not active S1 and S2 both active

NOR S1 and S2 both not active S1 and/or S2 both active


S1 and S2 both active or both not
XOR S1 or S2 active
active
S1 = Source 1; S2 = Source 2

Table 4.3.6 Logical operators for event sources

SOURCE 2 SENSE
Allows source 2 to be used in its normal sense (Select 'Source 2') or inverted (Select 'Not Source 2').

Example: Source 2 is Group 1 Batch Running


With Source 2 Sense = Source 2, the event is active whilst the batch is running.
With Source 2 Sense = Not Source 2, the event is active whilst the batch is not running.

4.3.6 EVENT CONFIGURATION (Cont.)

DESCRIPTOR
Allows a text string to be entered as the event title. See section 3.3.1 for text entry techniques.

JOB NUMBER
Only Job 1 is available.

CATEGORY
Select the required event job to be carried out (e.g. Drive relay). See section 4.7 for Jobs description.

WHILE/ON
Allows the action of the alarm job to be chosen as
a. whilst active, whilst inactive or whilst unacknowledged for continuous jobs (e.g. drive relay), or,
b. on going active, on going inactive or on acknowledgement for 'one-shot' jobs (e.g. increment counter).
See also figure 4.3.3g and associated text.

EVENT EXAMPLE
An event is to be active whenever Channel 1 Alarm 1 is active whilst Channel 3 alarm 2 is not active.

Source 1 = Point alarm (On = Channel 1; Alarm = 1)


Source 2 = Point alarm (On = Channel 3; Alarm = 2)
Source 1 Sense = Source 1
Operator = And
Source 2 Sense = Not Source 2

It is possible to achieve the same result by inverting both Source senses and using the Nor operator.

4.3.7 Messages

This feature allows messages to be sent, by job action (section 4.7), to the display, to a specified group or to all
groups. Messages can also be included in e-mails (Options manual, section 11) if the relevant option is fitted. The
messages are of the form: Date, Time, Message. The message can be just text (up to 80 characters), or it can include
up to nine embedded items which are typed into the message as {1} to {9}. The embedded values represented by {1}
to {9} are selected from picklists.

If a Group-destination message contains more characters than can be displayed on the screen (depends on recorder
model), the right-hand part of the message is invisible to the user. The message appears in full in the message log and
when Review Software is used. Display-destination messages are always fully visible.

4.3.7 MESSAGES (Cont.)

Replace {n} with (Cont.)

Specified Descriptor, Specified Value, Specified Alarm data: Produces a further field ‘{n} source’,
described below.
Instrument Name: Allows the Instrument Name (as entered in Configuration/Instrument - section
4.3.1) to be included in the message.
Instrument Number: Causes the instrument number (Network/Address - Section 4.5.1) to be embed-
ded.
Config Revision: Embeds the Config File Version number (System/About - section 4.6.5) in the
message

{n} source This field appears only if the previous field (Replace {n} with) is selected as ‘Specified Descriptor’,
‘Specified Value’ or 'Specified alarm data'. The associated picklist(s) allow a specific point, and a
specific alarm (if appropriate) to be selected. It is thus possible to configure, say alarm 1 on channel 2,
to produce a message giving the descriptor and/or value of, say, totaliser 1.

Notes:
1. n = 1 to 9
2. The example below is intended to clarify message entry techniques.

4.3.7 MESSAGES (Cont.)

EXAMPLE

To configure Message 2 to read “The value of Chan two = (Value channel 2) & Tot one = (Value totaliser 1)”

Before configuring the message:


In channel configuration:
Set channel 2 descriptor to: Chan two
Set Channel 2 alarm job to:
Category: Message
Send message(s) to: All Groups
First message: 2) Message 2
Last Message: 2) Message 2
On: Active
In Totaliser configuration:
Set Totaliser 1 descriptor to: Tot one

In Messages configuration:
1. Select Message 2.
2. Access the Symbols keyboard (section 3.3.1) and enter, without spaces, {}={}&{}={}
3. Access the Numeric keyboard and insert 1, 2, 3, 4 within the braces to give: {1}={2}&{3}={4}
4. Access the Alphabet keyboard, and insert text and spaces: The value of {1} = {2} & {3} = {4}
5. Set ‘Replace {1}’ to “Source Descriptor’
6. Set ‘Replace {2}’ to ‘Source Value’
7. Set ‘Replace {3}’ to ‘Specified Descriptor’
8. Set ‘{3} source’ to Tot one
9. Set ‘Replace {4}’ to ‘Specified Value’
10. Set ‘{4} source’ to ‘Tot one’

The result of this is that, should the channel 2 alarm go active, the following message would be sent to all groups,
appear on the ‘chart’ and become part of all groups’ histories:

18/10/01 11:19:58 The value of Chan two = 6.0˚C & Tot one = 3383.8073 Units

Note: On some models, the message may be wider than the screen. If necessary, the message can be short-
ened (e.g. use 'Ch2' instead of 'Chan two'), or it can be viewed in full, either in Message log, (section 3.2.1) or
by using Review Software, if available.

4.3.8 User Linearisation Tables

The Channel configuration item 'Lin Type' includes four linearisation tables called, initially, UserLin1 to UserLin4.
This User Linearisation part of the instrument configuration allows the user to enter a linearisation look-up table of
between two and 66 pairs of points.

The pairs of points are entered as X1Y1, X2Y2... ...XnYn,


where 'n' is the specified number of points.
X1 to Xn represent the inputs to the function.
Y1 to Yn represent the corresponding outputs from the function.

Notes:
1. Each Y value must be unique - i.e. there cannot be more than one X value with the same Y value assigned
to it.
2. Each X value (other than the first) must be greater than the previous one
3. Each Y value (other than the first) must be greater than the previous one
4. To specify units other than temperature units, the channel 'scale' facility must be used. The Scale low/
high values should be set to match the range low/high values, and the required units string entered .

The import/export Linearisation tables feature described in 'Save/Restore' (section 4.2) offers an alternative way of
entering linearisation tables.

Figure 4.3.8a shows the default configuration page. Figure 4.3.8b shows a simple table for relating water depth to
water volume for a cylindrical tank with a conical bottom.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
User Linearisation Allows one of the four user linearisation tables to be selected for configuration.
Descriptor Allows the user to enter a name of up to 20 characters (including spaces) for the table.
Format This allows the point pair values to be entered as normal numeric values (Numeric) or in
'Scientific' format (Scientific). When 'Scientific' is selected, values are displayed and entered
as a decimal number between 1 and 10† (the mantissa), followed by a multiplier (the expo-
nent). E.G. to enter a value of 1244.5678, the value entered would be 1.2445678E3, where 3
represents the number of places that the decimal point must be shifted to the left in order to
convert the value to a number between 1 and 10†. To enter a value of 0.0004196, the entry
would be 4.196E-4. Figure 4.3.8b, below, gives further examples.

† Notes
1. Strictly this is a number less than 10, as 10 would be 1.0E1.
2. There must be at least one number after the decimal point.

There are essentially three levels of security associated with the recorder viz: Engineer, Operator and Logged out.
(The fourth level - Service - is available only to service engineers). When logged-in at engineer level, the user can
set access permissions for Operator and logged-out levels, and can edit Operator and Engineer level passwords. The
password for both Engineer and Operator levels is set to 10 at the factory.

Note: Setting the password to 'blank' allows subsequent access without a password having to be entered.

Users with Full Security permission can Add (and Delete) users (sections 4.4.3, 4.4.4) and assign them individual
passwords and access permissions. User names (IDs) appear in the 'Login' and 'Access When' picklists.

4.4.2 Management (option)

This menu selection appears only if the Security Management option is fitted.

Centralised security If this checkbox is enabled, the following parameters can no longer be edited at the recorder.
Changes to these parameters can be made only by means of Security Management software:

Security\Access: All parameters become 'Read only' (Section 4.4.1)


Security\Management: Login by User List (below) becomes 'Read only'.
Security\Add User (section 4.4.3) no longer appears as a menu item.
Security\Remove User (section 4.4.4) no longer appears as a menu item.
Save/Restore\Restore: Security Data not selectable (section 4.2.2)
Save/Restore\New: Security Data not selectable (section 4.2.3)

The Security Revision (previously Security Version) is initially set to -1 when Centralised
Security is enabled. It will remain at this value until a successful download has been per-
formed via Security Manager Software. The Security Revision will then take the downloaded
value (e.g. 139). Any local security revision changes (e.g. max. number of logins exceeded)
cause the value to have a 'local change count', starting at 001 appended to it (e.g. 139.001,
139.002 and so on). The local change count is reset to 000 (and no longer displayed) when the
next download occurs (e.g 140). Downloads can occur automatically when the Security
Manager detects that a local change has occurred, or manually, as and when required.

Login by User List Enabled: At login time the normal login windowappears, with a pull-down list of users and
access levels. Once a user or access level has been selected from this picklist, the relevant
password must be entered to allow access to recorder configuration.
Disabled: the user must enter both a user ID and the password associated with this ID.

4.4.3 Add user

Figure 4.4.3 shows that the selecting of 'Add User' from the SECURITY picklist allows new users to be entered, to-
gether with passwords, and a chosen set of access permissions, which can subsequently be edited under Security/
Access. The ADD key and the APPLY key must both be used to write the change to the recorder data base. The user
must have Full Security access in order to add a new user.

NEW USER ID
This field allows a User ID of up to 20 characters to be entered for a new user. This ID is used when logging in using
ID/password entry technique (that is, when 'Login by user list' is disabled, as described in section 4.4.2 above).

NEW FULL USER NAME


This field allows a User name of up to 25 characters to be entered. This name appears in the 'current access level'
pushbutton at the top left corner of the display screen, in operator notes and so on.

NEW PASSWORD/RETYPE PASSWORD


These fields allow a password to be entered and confirmed. If the password does not comply with the minimum length
requirements in Security Management (if fitted) (section 4.4.2), a warning message (Invalid Password) appears when
the 'Apply' key is operated, and password entry must be repeated.

Notes
1. The Network key appears only if the Ethernet option is fitted
2. This manual does not describe network setup in detail, as each network is different. In mosy cases, the
help of the network administrator or supervisor will be required, for example, in the allocation of valid
addresses and passwords.

Operating the Network key calls a selection box to the display, allowing ‘Address’ or ‘Name’ to be selected for con-
figuration.

INSTRUMENT NUMBER/MAC ADDRESS


Unique numbers set up during manufacture to identify the recorder to a remote host, or to the recorder manufacturer/
distributor, in case of query.

IP ADDRESS LOOKUP
This field allows an address to be entered for the recorder. This can be done either by manually entering an address
(IP address field - below), or the network service BootP can be used to assign an IP address to the recorder.

BOOTP TIMEOUT
This is the maximum time the recorder will wait, at power-up, for a response from the BootP server. If no response is
received within this time, the IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway are all set to, or remain at 0.0.0.0

IP ADDRESS
Allows manual entry of the recorder’s internet protocol (IP) address only if ‘Specify an IP address’ is selected in the
‘IP address lookup’ picklist above.

4.5.1 NETWORK ADDRESS (Cont.)

SUBNET MASK
This field is editable only if ‘Specify an IP address’ is selected in the ‘IP address lookup’ picklist above. The subnet
mask is the network address plus the bits in the host address reserved for sub-network identification. By convention,
all the network address bits are set to 1. The subnet mask is used to identify the subnet to which an IP address belongs
by performing a bitwise AND on the mask and the IP address.

DEFAULT GATEWAY
To deliver traffic from one subnet to another, devices called ‘routers’ or ‘gateways’ are placed between segments. The
default gateway address informs each network device where to send data if the target station does not reside on the
same subnet as the source.

SNTP ENABLE
This tick box allows time synchronisation from a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server to be enabled and
disabled. When enabled, the instrument time is checked every 15 minutes and updated if necessary (see also notes
below).

SNTP SERVER
If 'Obtain from BootP server' is selected as the IP address look-up (see above), then this SNTP address appears auto-
matically. Otherwise this area allows an IP address to be entered for the SNTP server.

SNTP Notes:
1 SNTP is a protocol that allows clients on a TCP/IP network to set their times to that of a server - port
number 123. The recorder can act both as a client and as a server; when acting as a server, the resolution
is 1 msec.
2. SNTP time is based on elapsed seconds since 00:00 hrs on 1st January 1900. The time is not affected by
time zones or daylight saving adjustments.
3. If the instrument time differs from the SNTP time by less than 2 seconds, the instrument time is updated
gradually (1 msec 8 times a second) to prevent time change events being recorded. If the difference is
greater than 2 seconds, this is defined as a 'time change event', the results of which are that the recorder
time is immediately updated, and a green line is drawn across the chart (vertical trend/history only) to
indicate the time change.
4. If more than 5 time change events occur within 24 hours, a 'Time Synchronisation failure' instrument
alarm is set 24 hours after the first event. Once synchronisation is re-established, the alarm self clears
within 24 hours.
5. An 'SNTP server failure' instrument alarm is flagged if the configured server cannot br accessed, or if the
year received fro the server is less than 2001 or more than 2035.
6. When the instrument is acting as a server and a 'Clock Failure' instrument alarm is active, the server time
is set to 1/1/1900 which is ignored by clients.
7. For more information on SNTP, the following site may be contacted:
http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/Mirrors/www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1769.txt

It is also possible to synchronise a number of recorders with one another by using the Preset clock Job to set the time
to that entered in Instrument Configuration. Section 4.7.6 gives more details

If the unit is not performing as it should (e.g. it resets itself unexpectedly), the Support File key allows the user to
save 'critical system files' into a single file (SupportInfo.uhq*) to the instrument's floppy disk/pc card, or to the remote
viewer's PC, for despatch to the manufacturer for analysis. For security reasons, this file cannot be viewed by anyone
other than the manufacturer or his agents.

Once the save operation is complete, a 'Support' message appears on the screen giving details of where to send the
file. More information is held in the file 'SupportInfo.txt' which is also saved to the disk. This file can be opened, and
the information within it read, by inserting the disk into a PC, clicking on the floppy disk icon (A drive) in 'My Com-
puter' and then double clicking on the file icon when it appears.

* 'SupportInfo' is the default name. This name may be edited by the user before saving to disk or pc. The .uhq suffix
is automatically appended to the new name.

4.7 JOBS

A number of sources (e.g. channel, event, totaliser) can be set up to trigger one or more jobs. The following descrip-
tions include all possible job categories, but the jobs which are available on any particular recorder depend on the
options fitted to that recorder.Many job categories require the relevant access level permission to be set, as described
in section 4.4.1, above.

The type of action (continuous or 'single-shot'), available for selection, depends on the type of trigger source. Con-
tinuous actions are selected from: Whilst active, Whilst inactive or Whilst unacknowledged. The available single-shot
actions are: On becoming active, On becoming inactive, On acknowledgement.

4.7.1 No Action

This means that no job action is configured for the trigger source.

4.7.2 Drive relay

If the Relay/Ethernet option is fitted, this means that the relay changes state when the trigger source becomes active.
The relay is normally energised i.e. pin 2 (common) is shorted to pin 3 (normally open). When in alarm, the relay is
de-energised i.e. pin 2 (common) is shorted to pin 1 (normally closed). Thus, if power is removed from the recorder,
the relay automatically 'fails safe' to its alarm condition. See figure 2.2.1c for relay pinout.

4.7.3 Totaliser category

If the Totaliser option is fitted (section 4 of the Options Manual), the following jobs become available:
Preset Loads the selected totaliser with the value set up in 'Preset' in the totaliser's configuration menu.
Preset Group Loads all the totalisers in the specified group with their 'Preset' values.
Disable Stops the specified totaliser accumulating.
Disable Group Stops all totalisers in the specified group.

Note: If more than one job is set up to disable a particular totaliser, then any of these jobs going active will
disable the totaliser, unless the software version is prior to version 1.7, in which case, all relevant jobs have to
be active simultaneously in order to disable the totaliser.

5. FILE

Figure 5, below, gives an overview of the File Menus. The area is entered by touching the 'File' key of the root menu,
and can be used to display the contents of directories stored both in the user area of flash memory and on any disk
currently inserted.

The first display page shows the 'volume' or 'device' names associated with the various areas of memory available to
the user. If one of these volume names is selected (touched), and the 'open-folder' key operated, the contents of the
selected volume is displayed. This would typically consist of a list of folders. Similarly, if a folder name is selected
and the 'open folder' key is touched, the contents of the folder is displayed and so on.

To return to higher levels, the 'close-folder' key is used.

The path name of the current window is shown at the top of the window.

5.1 FILER OPTION MENU KEYS

These keys appear in a pop-up menu when the root menu Options key is pressed. The pop-up menu appears only
when an actual file has been selected (i.e. it does not appear if a directory (folder) or volume is selected.) Cut and
paste functions are available only to users with the relevant access permissions (section 4.4).

Cut Removes a file from the list, ready for 'pasting' to another destination.
Copy Copies a file from the list, ready for 'pasting' to another destination.
Delete Removes a file from the memory.
New Allows a new directory (folder) to be created
Paste Places a 'cut' or 'copy' file into the new destination.
Refresh Refreshes the display.

A key's legend is hidden (displayed in white) if at any time its function is not applicable.

5.2 THE HIDE KEY

The Hide key at the top right corner of the display screen is used to hide (show) Type, Date and Bytes information,
allowing the full file name text string to appear.

5.3 FILE STRUCTURE

5.3.1 Software versions prior to 3.1

The file structure on the floppy disk or pc card, is as depicted below in figure 5.3.1. The History folder contains one
folder for each group fitted. Each Group folder contains all the history files for that group. Figure 5.3.1 illustrates
this for a 2-group unit.

Figure 5.3.1 File structure for software versions prior to 3.1

5.3.2 Software versions 3.1 onwards

The file structure for versions 3.1 onwards is similar except in that an extra level of subdirectories has been added
within the group folders. Each subdirectory contains a maximum of 32 files, there being sufficient subdirectories
created, to contain all the group's history files. This is illustrated in figure 5.3.2 below.

The subfolder names are the numerical part of the first history file that they contain. For example if the first file name
is Furnace1 Temp~80155F2601000120.uhh, then the subdirectory name will be 80155F2601000120. If there are
more than 32 files, the next subdirectory name is 80155F2601000140* (assuming the file names are contiguous).

ETHER
Not applicable to this release.

CIRCUIT BOARDS FITTED


The major part of the display screen is taken up with a representation of the rear of the recorder, showing what input
and output cards are fitted in each circuit board slot. 1_Relay represents the Ethernet/Relay output board; AI_6 repre-
sents the six analogue inputs on the main board.

TOUCH CAL
This key initiates the display calibration (offset correction) procedure, described in section B2 below.

DETAIL
Touching this key causes the main board test results to be displayed, as shown in figure B1.1 below.

To quit diagnostics, switch the recorder off, then, after a few seconds, switch it back on again

B2 SCREEN CALIBRATION (OFFSET CORRECTION)

This procedure ensures that the display screen image is positioned correctly, compared with the touch screen (so that
'what you touch is what you get'). The procedure, is necessary only rarely, if at all, and is included here only for the
sake of completeness.

1. At power-up, continuously hold a finger in contact with the screen until (after approximately 30 seconds) the
diagnostic display appears as shown in figure B1. Operate the Touch cal key to call the first calibration screen, as
depicted in figure B2*
2. Using a soft point (> 1mm radius) of a material which will not damage the touch screen, touch the intersection of
the upper set of crosshairs, as requested by the display and keep touching it until the next target appears..
3. Continue the process, according to the directions appearing on the screen. Once all the 'targets' have been ac-
cepted, the recorder returns to the diagnostic display.

* Note: The diagnostic display times-out (to the screen calibration page) after about 5 minutes. The screen
calibration pages time-out to the diagnostic page after a time which depends on how much of the calibration
procedure has been completed

Battery replacement - Every three years

B3.3 Battery replacement procedure


Notes:
1. The battery is of poly-carbonmonofluoride/lithium construction and should be disposed of accord-
ing to local regulations covering this type of battery.
2. It is recommended that the recorder be isolated from mains (line) power before the battery is re-
placed. All battery backed RAM data is lost during battery change.

1. Remove the mains connector. For convenience, disconnect the relay and Ethernet connectors (if fitted).
2. Remove the rear terminal cover (A) by pressing down on the catch and lifting off. Remove the input connector
(B), by pressing-in on the end clips and pulling on the connector (figure B3.2a).
3. Remove the three screws 'C' in figure B3.2b.
4. Carefully lift the front of the recorder case cover, and disconnect the two looms connecting it to the internal cir-
cuit board (figure B3.2c)
5. Push the battery out of its holder as shown in figure B3.2d.
6. Instal the new battery by pushing it into position (+ uppermost).
7. Re-connect the two looms previously disconnected, then re-assemble the recorder.

B5 COLOUR SELECTION

The following table, gives RGB values and decimal and hex numbers for the available channel colours. Normally,
this table is necessary only when communicating over the MOBUS link.

Note: Colour representation varies from screen to screen. For this reason, it is unlikely that the colour on a
PC will match those on these pages or those on the recorder display.
