HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

A person's normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potentials of several thousand volts. Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices when handling electronic circuits can cause serious damage, which often may not be immediately apparent but the reliability of the circuit will have been reduced. The electronic circuits of ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control Ltd products are completely safe from electrostatic discharge when housed in the case. Do not expose them to the risk of damage by withdrawing modules unnecessarily. Each module incorporates the highest practicable protection for its semiconductor devices. However, if it becomes necessary to withdraw a module, the following precautions should be taken to preserve the high reliability and long life for which the equipment has been designed and manufactured. 1. Before removing a module, ensure that you are at the same electrostatic potential as the equipment by touching the case. 2. Handle the module by its front-plate, frame, or edges of the printed circuit board. Avoid touching the electronic components, printed circuit track or connectors. 3. Do not pass the module to any person without first ensuring that you are both at the same electrostatic potential. Shaking hands achieves equipotential. 4. Place the module on an antistatic surface, or on a conducting surface which is at the same potential as yourself. 5. Store or transport the module in a conductive bag. More information on safe working procedures for all electronic equipment can be found in BS5783 and IEC 60147-0F. If you are making measurements on the internal electronic circuitry of an equipment in service, it is preferable that you are earthed to the case with a conductive wrist strap. Wrist straps should have a resistance to ground between 500k 10M ohms. If a wrist strap is not available, you should maintain regular contact with the case to prevent the build up of static. Instrumentation which may be used for making measurements should be earthed to the case whenever possible. ALSTOM T&D Protection & Control Ltd strongly recommends that detailed investigations on the electronic circuitry, or modification work, should be carried out in a Special Handling Area such as described in BS5783 or IEC 60147-0F.

SAFETY SECTION
This Safety Section should be read before commencing any work on the equipment. Health and safety The information in the Safety Section of the product documentation is intended to ensure that products are properly installed and handled in order to maintain them in a safe condition. It is assumed that everyone who will be associated with the equipment will be familiar with the contents of the Safety Section. Explanation of symbols and labels The meaning of symbols and labels which may be used on the equipment or in the product documentation, is given below.

Caution: refer to product documentation

Caution: risk of electric shock

Protective/safety *earth terminal

Functional *earth terminal. Note: this symbol may also be used for a protective/ safety earth terminal if that terminal is part of a terminal block or sub-assembly eg. power supply. *Note: The term earth used throughout the product documentation is the direct equivalent of the North American term ground.

Installing, Commissioning and Servicing

Equipment connections Personnel undertaking installation, commissioning or servicing work on this equipment should be aware of the correct working procedures to ensure safety. The product documentation should be consulted before installing, commissioning or servicing the equipment. Terminals exposed during installation, commissioning and maintenance may present a hazardous voltage unless the equipment is electrically isolated. If there is unlocked access to the rear of the equipment, care should be taken by all personnel to avoid electric shock or energy hazards. Voltage and current connections should be made using insulated crimp terminations to ensure that terminal block insulation requirements are maintained for safety. To ensure that wires are correctly terminated, the correct crimp terminal and tool for the wire size should be used.
Page 9

Before energising the equipment it must be earthed using the protective earth terminal, or the appropriate termination of the supply plug in the case of plug connected equipment. Omitting or disconnecting the equipment earth may cause a safety hazard. The recommended minimum earth wire size is 2.5 mm2, unless otherwise stated in the technical data section of the product documentation. Before energising the equipment, the following should be checked: Voltage rating and polarity; CT circuit rating and integrity of connections; Protective fuse rating; Integrity of earth connection (where applicable) Equipment operating conditions The equipment should be operated within the specified electrical and environmental limits. Current transformer circuits Do not open the secondary circuit of a live CT since the high voltage produced may be lethal to personnel and could damage insulation. External resistors Where external resistors are fitted, these may present a risk of electric shock or burns, if touched. Battery replacement Where internal batteries are fitted they should be replaced with the recommended type and be installed with the correct polarity, to avoid possible damage to the equipment. Insulation and dielectric strength testing Insulation testing may leave capacitors charged up to a hazardous voltage. At the end of each part of the test, the voltage should be gradually reduced to zero, to discharge capacitors, before the test leads are disconnected. Insertion of modules and pcb cards These must not be inserted into or withdrawn from equipment whilst it is energised, since this may result in damage. Fibre optic communication Where fibre optic communication devices are fitted, these should not be viewed directly. Optical power meters should be used to determine the operation or signal level of the device.

DESIGN AND MODE OF OPERATION

The following chapter describes the mechanical and electrical design as well as the recorder components. 3.1 Summary The recorders are designed as panel mounted instruments with a format 144 mm x 144 mm. Installation without interspacing is possible in panels and mosaic systems with sufficient ventilation. The modern recorders have digital data processing. Measured values are recorded serially in channels and with solid state technology. As a result of the exclusive use of step motors, the drive system for recording operates completely without contacts. This technology permits a wide range of applications and high functional reliability. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show views of the recorder. The mode of operation of the recorders is explained down to the block diagram level using Fig. 3.

3.2 3.2.1 Housing

Rear view of R40 version (ac 115/230V design)

Recorder components The housing is made of sheet-steel. The chassis and the chart carriage are present at the front; the measuring module, the central processing unit, parts of the power supply and the options are located at the rear. The housing is mounted in the panel, mosaic system or desk upright panel using the supplied, standardized mounting elements.

3.2.2

Measuring module The measuring module has up to three channels, a multiplexer with semiconductor relays and an analog-to-digital converter. The input ranges are set specifically for each channel using jumpers. The channels are electrically isolated from one another by staggered control of the semiconductor relays. Control is handled by the central processing unit. All channels to be measured during a cycle are connected to the input amplifier in succession via the individual
Page 17

semiconductor relays. The amplified signal is applied to an analog-to-digital converter which operates according to the dual-slope procedure. In order to permit equally accurate measurements in sensitive ranges, reference measurements are carried out cyclically in the recorder version with universal measuring ranges. A cyclic check is also carried out for open-circuits. The terminal block also contains a sensor for measuring the terminal temperature when carrying out temperature measurements using thermocouples. 3.2.3 Central processing unit The central processing unit is the heart of the electronics. It contains a microprocessor as well as the program memory (EPROM), main memory (RAM) and non-volatile memory (EEPROM) for configuration data. Central component of the processing section is a microprocessor system with firmware. This is used, inter alia, for: q Sequence control q Calculation of measured values q Positioning of pen assemblies q Evaluation of input commands q Use of PC interface. The central processing unit permits control of the module Digital input/output. A crystal-controlled calendar/clock with external synchronization facility provides the date and time as a reference for sets of measured values and the chart. The central processing unit is located at the rear of the housing and is accessible from the front following removal of the chassis. It contains the plugs for connection of the other modules. 3.2.4 Power supply The recorders have different designs on the input side as a result of the four different power supplies which can be ordered. 3.2.4.1 AC 230V or AC 115V The mains power supply is connected to the recorder via an appliance plug with subsequent fuses, filter and transformer. The stepped down ac voltage is rectified, filtered and applied to dc/dc converters which generate the required internal dc voltages. Note: 3.2.4.2 DC 24V The dc 24V supply connected via the terminals is applied via a fuse to a power inverter whose output is connected to a transformer. The secondary side of the transformer is connected as in the recorder version with a mains power supply. 3.2.4.3 AC 24V The ac 24V supply connected via the terminals is applied via a fuse to the primary side of the transformer. The secondary side is connected as in the recorder version with a mains power supply.
Page 18

The recorder must only be connected to the envisaged power supply. Observe the corresponding note on the rear of the recorder.

3.2.5

Chassis The chassis contains the chassis support, control PCB, recording system, user interface, PC interface and chart carriage. The chassis is connected to the central processing unit via a multi-conductor ribbon cable with plug. The cable length is such that the chassis can be completely removed from the housing without loosening the connection.

3.2.5.1 Chassis support This is the support for the motors of the recording system, the control PCB, user interface and PC interface. The chart carriage latches into the chassis support and can be removed at any time using lever 2, eg. to replace the chart. 3.2.5.2 Control PCB The control PCB contains the power electronics for the step motors of the drives as well as the light barrier for detection of the carriage zero points. It also contains a microswitch for recognizing the end of the chart paper, and several microswitches which are activated using the levers. 3.2.5.3 Clock backup Only R40 version: the clock backup consists of a backup battery and capacitor. If a battery is not present, or if the chassis is separated from the central processing unit, the capacitor buffers the internal clock for approx. 5 minutes. The status of the clock buffer is checked when the power supply is switched on. The support for the backup battery is present on the control PCB and accessible following removal of the chassis. 3.2.5.4 Recording system The recording system consists of up to seven step motors depending on the recorder version. These are used for: q Chart drive q Positioning of the three coloured pens in the xdirection q Pen lift q R40 version: positioning of pen for text channel in x and ydirections 3.2.5.5 Chart carriage The chart carriage permits fanfold packs or rolls to be used as the chart paper. A take-up spool is required when using rolls. In addition, the chart carriage must be adapted when changing from fanfold paper to rolls. The required operations are described in Section 7 Servicing and Maintenance. 3.2.5.6 User interface The user interface consists of four levers and two LEDs underneath the chart carriage. A further lever is present on the side of the chassis and is only visible when the chassis is in maintenance position. Mechanical operations are directly activated by two of the four levers underneath the chart carriage. The other two levers can be used for two different actions each by moving the respective lever to the left or right. The TEST menu can be activated and switched off again using the switch which is accessible on the side of the chassis. Green and red LEDs indicate different recorder statuses depending on how they are activated (on, off, flashing).

Mode of operation As a result of the many different possible uses, the recorders are delivered preset to the basic setting of 4 to 20mA. Customer-specific presetting is also possible as required. The recorder can then be used immediately following installation and commissioning. The values measured cyclically by the recorder are amplified, digitized and processed further by a microprocessor system. In addition to processing of the measured values, the microprocessor system is responsible for sequence control, self-test, event processing, control of the step motors of the recording system, feedbacks from the recording system and the user interface. The microprocessor system converts the measured value into positioning commands for the recording system. The pens draw a continuous line on the chart paper according to the measured signal. You can adjust the measuring and recording ranges such that the signal is recorded with an optimum resolution and display. It is also possible to define limits which are constantly recorded in the R40 version as vertical lines. The recorders can output an alarm text if the limit is violated. The number of limits and the alarm function can be parameterized within wide ranges. If the recorder is equipped with the digital input/output option, the alarms can be output for further processing. The R40 version can output a measured-value table, event text and recorder text cyclically or event-controlled. The texts must be entered previously via the user when setting up the recorder. The outputs are made depending on the recorder parameters.

Scope of delivery The scope of delivery is listed in Section 9.1. Accessories, consumable materials The accessories and consumable materials are listed in Section 9.2. Options The following options are available: q Digital input/output with 4 inputs and 6 outputs q DC 24V output

3.6.1

Digital input/output The input signals (DI1 to DI4) of the four digital inputs are applied to the basic electronics via opto isolators and processed further on the central processing unit. The output signals (DO1 to DO6) of the digital outputs are externally available at the interface electrically isolated either via opto isolators or relays depending on the version. q Electronic version: the output signals are generated by short-circuit-resistant semiconductor switches. The switches are controlled via opto isolators. The semiconductor switches must be powered via an external voltage source since they are electrically isolated from the basic device. q Relay version: the electrical isolation is provided by relays whose changeover contacts are externally available.

PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

The following chapter describes all preparations necessary for operation of the recorders. 4.1 Recorder identification The recorders and modules can be identified with respect to their application and release version by means of various labels: q Rating plate with object version for recorder q Part No. with release version for modules 4.1.1 Rating plate The rating plate (Fig. 4) provides information on: q Recorder type q Serial number q Object version q Channel assignments (only rating plate on rear). There are three rating plates on the recorder: q On the rear (eg. Fig. 8), q On the left inside the housing (visible after removing the chassis), q On the left side of the chassis (eg Fig. 63) If the input ranges are changed, a blank label can be inscribed using a waterresistant felt pen and adhered to the part of the rating plate which is no longer valid. 4.1.2 Object version The object version (Fig. 4) of the recorder can be read from the rating plate. The digit marked with a cross identifies the hardware release of the recorder. The Instruction Manual references the object version. This Manual is valid for the object version 1 shown in Fig. 4.

Installation guidelines Insert the recorder into the prepared panel cut-out (see Fig. 9 for dimensions), insert two clamps into the corresponding positions on the housing, and tighten the screws. Special clamps must be used when fitting in a 72mm mosaic system. The permissible ambient temperature according to the technical data must be observed at the mounting position. This must be particularly observed when installing without interspacing. Note When installing, observe the safety guidelines in Section 1.

The following information is generally applicable to installation: q No special requirements are placed on power supply, measuring and control cables which do not carry a dangerous contact potential. q Voltages which are not dangerous to contact are up to dc 50V or ac 25V if they are generated by safety transformers, batteries etc. and are not connected to other circuits (low-voltage networks with safe isolation).
Page 25

q The isolation of power cables with a dangerous contact potential must be selected according to the max. voltage. q The cross-section of the protective earth conductor must be selected at least as large as the largest cross-section of the power cable. q The connection between the protective earth connection and the protective earth conductor must be made before any other connections.

4.4.3 Selection of 50/60Hz The measured values are recorded according to an integrated measuring procedure. In order to suppress interferences (hum), the measuring period (integration time) must be matched to the mains frequency. The basic setting is 50Hz. The setting can be changed using a jumper on the module "Central processing unit" (Fig. 6). If the recorder is powered via a dc supply, the frequency of the surrounding ac supply must be set. The chassis must be removed from the housing in order to check or change the jumper setting (Section 7.10). 4.5 Connection of analog channels The following types of measurement are possible for each channel: q DC U or q DC I or q TC (only recorder design with universal measuring ranges) or q RTD, R (only recorder design with universal measuring ranges) The type of measurement is set using jumpers. In order to set the jumpers, you must first remove the window for setting the input ranges (Fig. 13). The transparent plastic part can be easily removed by inserting a small screwdriver at the side.

4.6 Digital input/output A 25-pin subminiature plug (Fig. 8) is present on the rear of the recorder for the option Digital input/output. See Section 3.6 for technical details. In the electronic version, the semiconductor switches which are isolated from the basic electronics by opto isolators must be powered by an external 24V supply. If the recorder is equipped with a dc 24V output (option), it is alternatively possible to use this source, taking into account the technical data (Fig. 27). A 25-pin subminiature plug for connection of the digital input/output is included in the delivery. The pin assignments are shown in Table 2 and Table 3. Parameterization of the digital input/output is described in Section 5.7.4.

4.7 DC 24V output Following installation of the option dc 24V output, a bipolar terminal (Fig. 28) is available at the rear of the recorder with a floating output for the supply of external components. The following connections are permissible since the current output is limited to max. 75mA: Up to three two-wire transmitters with a current consumption of 25mA each Digital input/output Note If several two-wire transmitters are powered, these must be connected together on one side and are thus not electrically isolated from one another. For noise reasons (differences in potential), this arrangement is only meaningful for transmitters which are close together.

4.8 Starting up the recorder All recorder settings have already being made in the factory if the recorder has been delivered according to customer specifications. The standard settings have been made for recorders delivered without customer specifications. The standard settings are listed in Section 5 Operation in the respective subsections. If you are not acquainted with the recorder, it is recommended to start with simple measurements after working through Sections 2 to 5. Measurements with the standard settings are most appropriate initially.

Section 5.

OPERATION

The following chapter describes how to operate the recorders. Note Replacing the chart and the battery for backing up the clock are described in Section 7.

You are guided by menus when operating the recorders. The menus provide information in the form of a table on the respective functions or values for an input (leaflet Parameterization a concise overview). The input menus consist of several elements which are comprised in turn of menu code numbers and designations.

Page 38

In the first input step (selection of row) you decide which function or parameter is to be called. The red LED lights up. In the second step (selection of column) you can define or modify the corresponding setting of the recorder. The red LED flashes. The input of a menu code number is terminated by ENTER. You can scroll through the menu using the INC/DEC functions. 5.1 Display and control elements Operation is carried out using four horizontal levers located below the chart carriage (Fig. 29). A further lever is present on the side of the chassis. Two coloured LEDs which are also located below the chart carriage serve to support you when setting up the recorders and for the output of status messages. In the R40 version status messages are additionally printed on the chart paper by means of the text channel (Section 6).

5.3 Levers

Summary of LED status messages

The levers have different effects. The black service lever and lever 2 act directly on the mechanics. The other levers act on microswitches whose signals are processed by the central processing unit. The levers are used for recording, START, STOP or PAUSE OFF, PAUSE ON, high chart speed and recorder settings via the PROG and TEST menus.

Page 40

Feedbacks for the user when setting up the recorders are via the LEDs and the positions of the pens. The rows and columns of the PROG and TEST menus designed in tabular form directly correspond to the value of the parameterization scale, ie. a scale value of 15% corresponds to row 15 or column 15 depending on the status of the red LED. The levers are assigned different functions during operation, PAUSE and when setting up the recorder. Fig. 31 shows a summary of the lever functions. These functions are described in detail in the following sections.

Fig. 31 Summary of lever functions

5.3.1 Functions of service lever and lever 2 Releasing the chassis The service lever is used to release the chassis. The chassis must be moved to the maintenance position in order to change the pens or scales. To do this, briefly move the service lever to the left, and simultaneously pull out the chassis until this latches in the maintenance position. The chassis must be returned to its original position following the required operations. To do this, move the service lever to the left again, and simultaneously push in the chassis until it latches in place. The chassis can be completely removed from the housing in order to replace the battery for backing up the clock (only R40 version). To do this, release the chassis in the maintenance position using the service lever, and pull out the chassis to the front. When inserting the chassis again, you must again release it at the maintenance position using the service lever. Section 7 describes the above operations in detail. 5.3.1.2 Lever 2 Releasing the chart carriage Lever 2 is used to release the chart carriage from the chassis. This is necessary in order eg. to replace the chart. Section 7 describes the above operations in detail. 5.3.2 Functions of Levers 1, 3 and 4 in recording mode Zero adjustment Briefly moving lever 1 (labelled 1) to the left starts a zero adjustment without marking. The pens are moved to the right edge and carry out an adjustment. Recording mode is subsequently continued.

5.3.2.2 Lever 1

PAUSE ON

Briefly moving lever 1 to the right stops recording (PAUSE ON). The recording system is lifted up, and the pens move to the maintenance position (text channel: approx. 15%, bottom pen: approx. 40%, middle pen: approx. 60%, top pen: approx. 85%). All instrument functions apart from recording remain active. 5.3.2.3 Lever 3 PROG menu ON Briefly moving lever 3 to the left activates the PROG menu. The following actions identify the transition to the parameterization state: 1. Recording system lifts up. 2. All pens are driven to the 100% mark and carry out an adjustment there. 3. Channel 1 moves to the code number position for the PROG/TEST menu and writes a mark which must correspond to the version number of the PROG/TEST menu (cf. data in leaflet Parameterization a concise overview, version: code number n). 4. The pen for channel 1 moves to the 0% position and thus indicates Row 0, PROG menu. The red LED lights up, the green LED is off. The recorder is now in the parameterization status. All parameters can be set which are available in the PROG menu. Note The function PAUSE ON (lever 1 ) is not required in order to enter the parameterization status.

The PROG menu is switched off by moving the lever again. The red LED goes out, the green LED lights up. The recorder is switched back to its original status. Individual actions: 1. The recording system is lifted up. 2. An adjustment of the pens is carried out at the 100% mark. 3. The pens move to the measured values. 4. The recording system is lowered, and recording is continued. 5.3.2.4 Lever 3 The lever 3 5.3.2.5 Lever 4 has no function in recording mode. TEST menu ON

The chassis must first be moved to the maintenance position before lever 4 can be activated. Lever 4 is used to activate the TEST menu. Lever 4 is accessible on the side of the chassis and can be moved down eg. using a ball-point pen (Fig. 30). The mechanical sequences of the recording system correspond to those when activating Lever 3 .

The selectable values are listed in Fig. 33. 5.4.1.2 P[5], P[15] Condition Chart speed A and/or B can be linked to a condition if required so that the chart speed changes dependent on an event. The possible conditions are shown in Fig. 33. 5.4.1.1 P[0], P[10] Chart speeds A, B

Page 47

5.4.1.3 Event-dependent chart speed The recorder selects chart speed A when switched on. The event sources are also processed even if recording is switched off. The currently active status is retained if no conditions are fulfilled for chart feeds A and B or if both conditions are fulfilled simultaneously. A change is made to chart speed B if the condition set for it is fulfilled. The same applies to a change from B to A. If the alarm of a channel is used as the condition, if Mode OFF is selected for the associated channel. See Section 5.6.1 for setting example.

Fig. 33 Programmable parameter Chart speed

5.4.1.4 Details on selection of chart speed Switching over commences with a marker in the form of small horizontal lines on the curves and a fast feed of at least 7mm such that a setting on the main time lines - if set - is retained. Small horizontal lines are then again drawn on the curves, and the recording commences with the new chart speed. At the same time, the text channel of the R40 version starts to write a chart switching line. Note If the chart speed is switched over too frequently in succession, the recording system would be overloaded and the measured values lost. Therefore the recorder switches over again at the earliest after approx. 30s.

The following example clarifies the mode of operation of chart speeds A and B with condition.

Page 48

5.4.1.5 Example Chart speed A is set to 20mm/h [P0.30]. The condition is present at Input DI2 [P5.70]. Chart speed B is set to 120mm/h [P10.40]. The condition is at /Input DI2 [P15.75]. Result: The chart speed is 20mm/h in measuring mode if the signal at input DI2 is High. The chart speed is switched over to 120mm/h if the signal changes to Low. This status is retained until DI2 changes to High again. The chart speed then returns to 20mm/h. 5.4.2 Measured-value table (only R40 version) The R40 version prints a measured-value table (Fig. 56 Example recording for R40 version as required with the following information, if relevant: q Date and time q Channel number q Measured value q Dimension q Symbol for open-circuit q Status of alarms assigned to the channel. Printing can be triggered cyclically or event-controlled. Parameterization is carried out according to Fig. 34. 5.4.2.2 Printing the measured-value table The graphic recording is not interrupted when printing the measured-value table, ie. the 2nd and 3rd lines are only printed if the chart feed has reached a full line height since the last line. If a further trigger function for a measured-value table or an event text arrives whilst a table is being printed, this is only commenced when the table has been completely printed and the chart feed has reached a full line height since the last line. The printout of the measured-value table always coincides with a time mark if it is carried out cyclically. The first line of the measured-value table is omitted in this case. The minimum distance between two cyclic printouts is 10 mm. The measured values at the printed time are stored in intermediate memory before being output. Only those channels are printed out for which Measuring or Recording has been selected. See Section 5.6.2. for setting example. 5.4.2.1 P[20] Measured-value table

5.4.3 Parameterizing the Analog Channels The channel-specific variables are set using the parameters for channel (analog), mode, measuring range, sensor, connection, left value, right value, open-circuit and damping. 5.4.3.1 P[25] Analog channel This is used to select the number of the analog channel you wish to parameterize. The channel number is preceded by the symbol # in the printouts, eg. #1. The recorders have one to three analog channels: #1, #2, #3. The associated pen is activated following selection of the channel. The following table lists the channel assignments: Channel #1 Position in recording system Bottom Channel #2 Centre Channel #3 Top

Fig. 35 Summary of parameter Channel (analog)

See Section 5.6.3 for setting example. 5.4.3.2 P[30] Mode You can use this parameter to select the Measure or Recording mode for the selected channel (Section 5.5.3). Select Off if the measuring and recording modes are to be switched off. In Measure and Recording modes, the associated channel is scanned cyclically. The alarm is generated by comparing the measured value with the set alarm value. In Recording mode, the measured values are additionally recorded by the recording system.

5.4.3.3 P[35] Measuring range The measuring ranges are selected according to the set input range (Section 4.5). The recording range (left value, right value) is fixed to the measuring range limits for certain standard ranges (Fig. 37) and cannot be changed. With the other measuring ranges, you can enter the start-of-scale and full-scale values yourself within the range limits. Table 10 shows the possible values for the set ranges.

Fig. 37 Summary of parameter Channel (analog), Measuring range

See Section 5.6.3 for setting example. 5.4.3.4 P[40] Sensor The parameter Sensor is used to define the type of sensor when using thermocouples or resistor thermometers. The associated linearization values are automatically taken into account during measured-value processing. The appropriate operating range of the sensor must be selected when using resistors, potentiometers or sensors with a voltage output. The possible settings are shown in Fig. 38.

Page 52

Fig. 38 Summary of parameter Channel (analog), Sensor

See Section 5.6.3 for setting example. 5.4.3.5 P[45] Connection This parameter is used to select the input for the reference temperature when measuring with thermocouples. Select the desired reference point from Fig. 39. 5.4.3.6 TC With the setting Ref.: internal, the temperature of the input terminals is used as the reference. Select the setting Ref.: 0C to Ref.: 70C if the external reference point is held stable at one of the corresponding temperatures. The reference point can be measured via a further input if the temperature varies. In this case, select the settings Ref.: #1 to Ref.: #6. 5.4.3.7 RTD, R, Pot. You can select either a three-wire or two-wire connection (Section 5) for measurements via resistance thermometers, resistors and potentiometers. Select RL: 10 in the case of a two-wire system with adjustment of the line resistance to 10 . Select RL: 0 if the line resistance is negligibly small.

See Section 5.6.3 for setting example. 5.4.3.8 P[50] Left value P[55] Right value The recording range can be set within limits using the parameters Left value and Right value, apart from certain standard measuring ranges (Fig. 40). The factory-set recording ranges are listed in Table 10 (default settings for left value/ right value). The recording range is set numerically for the inputs Left value and Right value. The input refers to the set measuring range and is set in a uniform manner. The sign is entered first, followed by 4 digits separated by a decimal point. If modifications are necessary, only the associated digits or the sign are overwritten. If illegal inputs are made, adaptation is automatically made according to the measuring range.

5.4.3.9 P[60] Open-circuit Only R40 version. Monitoring is carried out for an open-circuit in the mV measuring ranges and the TC, RTD, R and Pot. ranges based on them. As soon as the internal resistance of the sensor exceeds a certain value, the recording is continued on the left of the 0% line in the case of the setting < 0% (Fig. 41), and on the right of the 100% line in the case of >100%. The R40 version additionally outputs the event Open-circuit in the measured-value table (Section 5.4.2) printed on the chart paper. An open-circuit is not detected in the setting OFF.

See Section 5.6.3 for setting example.

Fig. 42 Example of display with open-circuit

5.4.3.10 P[65] Damping The damping is determined by the time constant of a 1st order low-pass via which the signal connected to the input terminals of the recorder is filtered. The output signal of the low-pass is an exponential function following a jump in the signal at the input. The time constant defines how long it takes until the output signal has attained 63.2% of the stationary final value. Set 0s for output of unfiltered measured values. The damping must be set individually for each channel. With the setting auto, the damping is automatically adapted to the chart speed. The basic setting is 0s.
Page 57

The following Figure shows the parameterizable time constants.

Fig. 43 Summary of parameter Channel (analog), Damping

See Section 5.6.3 for setting example. 5.4.4 Parameterizing the digital channel (only R40 version) The recorder has two digital channels in addition to the three analog channels. An alarm (Section 5.4.5) or a digital input (Section 5.6) can be selected as the source. The binary signals of the digital inputs are displayed as a square-wave signal at defined chart positions (Table 11): Channel #1d Logical 0 (Low) Logical 1 (High) 81% 89% Channel #2d 91% 99% 5.4.4.1 P[70] Channel (digital)

Table 11

Chart positions of channels (digital)

The digital channels are recorded by the mechanical system of the text channel. Edges from logical 0 to 1 and logical 1 to 0 as well as peaks are recorded as continuous lines. Constant signal sequences are recorded as dashed lines. The lines are spaced at 10 mm with low chart speeds, and at 20mm with high chart speeds (see Fig. 56 Example recording for R40 version). Fig. 44 shows the possible parameters. See Section 5.6.4 for setting example.

Fig. 44 Summary of parameter Channel (digital)

5.4.5 Alarm The recorder permits the programming of up to six alarms, each of which is assigned to a fixed output of the digital input/output (option) (Table 3). A set alarm becomes active in Measure or Recording mode if the set limit is violated. The assignments of the alarms to the individual channels, mode and alarm value are freely selectable. The settings always commence with selection of an alarm. See Section 5.6.5 for setting example. 5.4.5.1 P[80] Alarm The parameter Alarm is used to select one of the available alarms A1 to A6 to which the mode, channel and value apply in a subsequent setting. 5.4.5.2 P[85] Mode The parameter Mode can be used to define whether the alarm is to be triggered when MIN is fallen below or MAX exceeded. With the R40 version, limit lines can be drawn parallel to the time axis. These lines are vertical and approx. 1mm long. The spacing between the individual lines is reduced by half if the limit is violated. The lines are drawn by the mechanical system of the text channel. The alarm symbol, the associated alarm number, the channel number or the character (with the setting All channels) are written cyclically next to the limit lines. The limit line can be set for each alarm using the parameter MIN with line or MAX with line. In the setting Status (only available in recorders with option Digital input/output), recorder readiness is signalled if all of the following conditions are fulfilled: q Power supply present q PROG menu not switched on q TEST menu not switched on

Page 59

q Recording started q Chart paper present q Last adjustment of recording system fault-free. Use of the status message is particularly meaningful if the recorder cannot be directly viewed. A control signal is output in the position Time marker (only available in recorders with option Digital input/output) at the start of the zero adjustment. This signal can be used to synchronise the cyclic zero adjustment of several recorders using this one as the master. An alarm is not output in the position OFF. All alarms are switched off in the basic setting. 5.4.5.3 P[90] Channel The 6 alarms can be freely assigned to the individual analog channels. The basic setting is as follows: q Alarms A1 and A2 to channel 1 q Alarms A3 and A4 to channel 2 q Alarms A5 and A6 to channel 3 A further possibility is the assignment of a common alarm to the channels in the setting All channels and applies to the channels for which Measure or Recording mode has been selected. The alarm is triggered if the value is exceeded (max) or fallen below (min) for at least one of the channels. 5.4.5.4 P[95] Value The setting Alarm, Value is used to define the percentage with respect to the recording range at which the alarm to be triggered. The selectable range of values is identical to the recording range and can be set in steps approx. 0.1%.

5.5.1 Measuring mode Five settings are possible for the parameter Measuring mode. No acquisition of measured values is carried out in the position OFF, ie. all other associated functions such as chart speed and alarm monitoring are also switched off. The setting Normal or Fast determines the cycle time. The resolution of measured values is higher with the setting Normal. The cycle times can also be switched on or off via the option Digital input/output with DI1. Measuring mode is carried out with the set cycle time as long as input DI1 remains at High. Measuring mode is terminated if the signal changes to Low. 5.5.1.1 T[0] Measuring mode

See Section 5.6.6 for setting example. 5.5.2 Diagram The parameter Diagram is used to select the chart formatting. All texts are output if recording is switched on with the setting Alphanumeric ON. These texts include: q Start line when starting recording q Chart switching line when changing the chart speed q Text with PAUSE ON q Date/time marker and instrument text q Event texts q Inscription of limit lines. These texts are suppressed in the setting Alphanumeric OFF. Output of the time at the left edge of the chart is suppressed in the setting Time OFF. The underline character is still output. The date is still printed out every 12h. The following texts are suppressed with the setting Status line OFF: q Start line when starting recording q Chart switching line when changing the chart speed q Text with PAUSE ON (see Fig. 56 Example recording for R40 version ). See Section 5.6.7 for setting example. 5.5.2.2 Start line (only R40 version) The printout of the start line and the graphic recording commence simultaneously, ie. the arrangement of the pens means the start line appears in the chart (see Fig. 56 Example recording for R40 version). The start line consists of the word START, the date, time, active chart speed and measuring cycle. The graphic recording commences together with printing of the start line. An abbreviated start line is printed when the chart speeds A and B are changed. This line consists of the time and the active chart speed. 5.5.2.1 T[5] Diagram (only R40 version)

5.5.2.3 T[10] Cycle This menu item can be used with the line recorders to set the time between two time markers. The possible settings are shown in the following Figure. A time marker is not output in the position OFF. Only a zero adjustment is carried out every 24h with this setting.

1) Only R40 version

Fig. 48 Summary of parameter Diagram

5.5.2.4 Time marker A time marker is written cyclically for all channels at the right edge of the chart. The time between two markers can be selected between 1h and 24h. If the time marker is to be output for several recorders synchronously, this is possible via the control input DI1 Time marker (T[65.85], see Section 5.5.5). The used chart feed can be determined for the R30 version from the distance between the time markers. 5.5.2.5 T[15] Grid (only R40 version) This parameter can be used to print a grid on the chart. The vertical distance between the markers (crosses) is independent of the chart speed. The number of grids over the chart width is selectable. At chart speeds from 300mm/h to 1200mm/h however, markers are only output at 0% and 100% independent of this setting. The markers are synchronised with the time marker and independent of the starting time of the recording (see Fig. 56 Example recording for R40 version). Note A grid printout is only meaningful with slow chart speeds since the grid is written oblique at fast speeds.

Fig. 48 shows the possible settings for the parameter Grid.

5.5.3

Text (only R40 version) Various texts can be programmed in order to make evaluation and documentation of the results easier. The recorder can store one Instrument text and five Event texts and write these depending on conditions. Conditions are cyclic, alarms A1 to A6 or digital inputs DI1 to DI4. The editing function is used for entering texts. Fig. 49 shows the function set for text, editing and condition.

5.5.3.1 T[20] Text, T[25] Editing, T[30] Condition

Fig. 49 Summary of parameters Text Editing Condition

5.5.3.2 Programming text The editing function provides three characters per column in each of the columns 0 to 70. Selection of one of three characters is possible using the lower ranges of the fields 25.0 to 25.10 (1 to 3) for lower-case letters and 25.15 to 25.25 (SHIFT 1 to SHIFT 3) for upper-case letters.

Page 65

After setting line 25 Editing, select the character group which contains the desired letter. The LED flashes rapidly following ENTER. Then select one of three letters using the fields 25.0 to 25.25 and define upper-case or lower-case letters at the same time. The LED flashes more slowly following confirmation with ENTER, the selected character is printed, and the chart transported forwards until the character is visible. The next character can then be entered. Input of the alphanumeric characters is terminated using End. See Section 5.6.8 for setting example. Note An extended character set is accessible via the PC interface.

5.5.3.3 Instrument text The instrument text is used for user-specific identification of recorders, eg. in order to permit differentiation between several recorders in a larger plant. The instrument text consists of the actual text (max. 20 characters), the date and time. The output is made when the recorder is started, at 12 a.m., 12 p.m., and when the recording is stopped (lever 1 , PAUSE). 5.5.3.4 Event text The event text provides information which supports the application, eg. as a note to the operating personnel. Up to five different event texts can be programmed. An event text consists of the actual text (max. 20 characters) and the time. With the condition Cyclic, the texts are output every 20mm in ascending order up to a chart speed of 120mm/h. The texts are output at intervals of 40mm in the case of higher chart speeds. The event text can only be output depending on events (cyclic, alarm, DI1 to DI4). Event texts are stored in intermediate memory to prevent overwriting of one another. The format of an event text is shown in Fig. 56 Example recording for R40 version. 5.5.4 Clock (only R40 version) 5.5.4.1 T[35] Clock: Mode, T[40] Hours: hh, T[45] Minutes: mm, T[50] Day: DD, T[55] Month: MM, T[60] Year: YY The R40 version has an adjustable clock. You can select either a 24 or 12 hour format. It is possible to synchronise and switch over the clock if required via the digital input/output option, control input DI4, using an external signal q Clock synchronization 3:00 q Summer time (MESZ). Further information can be found in Section 5.6.10. In the event of a power failure, the clock component is buffered by a capacitor for approx. 5 minutes. A battery is required for longer backup times and can be ordered as an accessory (Section 8). It is not included in the basic instrument. When setting the clock, the seconds are set to zero with ENTER following each input, and the clock started. To permit inputs exact to the minute even if the parameterization procedure takes >1 minute, the minutes input should be entered last. The adjustable values are shown in Fig. 50. Section 5.6.9 shows an example for setting the clock.

5.5.5 Control input DI4 The following functions of the recorder can be remote-controlled via the interface Digital input/output (option) using control input DI4: q Chart feed q Time marker q Clock synchronization q Summer/winter time switchover q TEST locking. None of the above functions is activated in the position OFF. 5.5.5.2 Chart feed With the setting Chart feed 10 ... 100mm, a corresponding chart feed is carried out when the signal at control input DI4 changes from Low to High. With the alphanumeric text function switched on (Section 5.6), the device text is additionally inserted with the R40 version. The chart feed initiated via control input DI4 has the highest priority and is always carried out independent of the current recorder status. 5.5.5.1 T[65] Control input DI4

Page 67

5.5.5.3 Time marker The setting Time marker is used to synchronise several recorders operating as slaves. A time marker can be written at the same time on several instruments when the signal changes from Low to High at DI4. A zero adjustment is carried out in addition. The following Figure shows an example.

A higher value should be set for the time marker on the slave than on the master. If OFF is selected for the time marker, only a zero adjustment is carried out. A marker is additionally drawn at the right edge of the chart in the case of all other settings. Synchronization can also be carried out using any other suitable clock generator (eg. master clock with hours signal). See Section 5.6.10 for setting example. 5.5.5.4 Clock sync. 3:00 (only R40 version) The setting Clock sync. 3:00 is used to synchronise the internal clock by means of a master clock signal and permits accurately timed operation of several recorders. The synchronization is carried out by a change in signal from Low to High at DI4. The internal clock is set to 3:00 hours independent of summer or winter time. 5.5.5.5 Summer time (MESZ) (only R40 version) The time is increased by one hour with the setting Summer time if the signal level is High at control input DI4. 5.5.5.6 TEST locking With the setting TEST locking, q the complete TEST menu is locked if the signal level is Low at control input DI4. q the complete TEST menu is unlocked if the signal level is High at control input DI4. The possible settings for control input DI4 are shown in Fig. 52.

Section 6.

MEASURING AND RECORDING MODE

In measuring and recording mode, the measured values are displayed on the scales and recorded on the chart as an amplitude/time diagram. The parameters such as the chart speed are set in the PROG and TEST menus (Section 5). Measuring mode can be switched on and off in the TEST menu. Measuring mode is interrupted if you call the PROG or TEST menu. In measuring and recording mode, all channels for which measured-value acquisition is switched on are scanned cyclically, processed and documented on the chart paper by means of the recording system. Measured values are linearized if applicable and corrected using auxiliary values such as the terminal temperature and line resistance. Alarms are generated by comparing the measured values with the programmed limits. Buffer time The measured values pass through a buffer before they are recorded. This prevents values from being lost if there is an interruption in the recording procedure such as when changing the chart or pen. The measured values are increasingly compressed as the buffer becomes fuller in that min./max. values are generated. The capacity of the buffer corresponds to approx. 6mm of chart. A chart feed is carried out if the buffer capacity is exceeded, and the symbol for a buffer overflow =><= is printed out together with a chart switching line. 6.1 Chart formatting (only R40 version) You should preferably select the recording range (left value and right value) such that round values result on the measured-value lines. This facilitates evaluation of the chart and the determination of the absolute values of a curve. Programming of the left and right values is described in Section 5.5.3.

Page 81

6.1.1

Main time line (only R40 version) With a correctly set recorder, the time markers are written on the main time lines. The chart position can be adjusted in the PAUSE status such that the time markers coincide with the main time lines with a subsequent recording. After writing the start line (Section 6.1.5), the chart is shifted forwards such that the time markers are written on the time lines in the future. The chart now remains adjusted until the recording is interrupted by one of the following events: q PROG menu on q TEST menu on q Removal of chart carriage q Power supply on/off. The exact operations for setting the main time line are explained in Section 7.

6.1.2

Instrument text (only R40 version) An instrument text is output: q As part of the switch-on text q With time markers at 12.00 and 00.00 hours q When recording is stopped (lever 1 , PAUSE ON) The instrument text consists of up to 20 characters and can be freely programmed by the user (Section 5). An instrument text may be eg. the plant-specific name of the recorder.

6.1.3

Switch-on text (only R40 version) The switch-on text line consists of the date, time and instrument text. The line is printed when the power supply is switched on if measuring mode is not switched on. The instrument text consists of up to 20 characters and can be freely programmed by the user (Section 5).

6.1.4

Event text (only R40 version) An event text Fig. 56 Example recording for R40 version) can be printed out cyclically or dependent on events. Up to five event texts can be programmed with up to 20 characters each (Section 5) and assigned to the alarms. Possible trigger conditions are: q Cyclic q Alarms A1 ... A6 (with every change in edge) q Input DI1 ... DI4 (only with change in level from Low to High) The graphic recording is not interrupted when printing the event text. A further event text or a measured-value table is only printed if the chart feed has reached a full line height since the last text. This prevents overwriting. Event texts which are printed out cyclically consist only of the event text. Event texts which are controlled by a digital input are only printed out with a change in level from Low to High. They consist of the time exact down to seconds, and the instrument text. Event texts which are controlled by an UP or DOWN alarm consist of the time, alarm symbol, channel number assigned to the alarm, and event text. If the alarm is deactivated, the Alarm line is written as with an activated alarm, but without an event text. If the alarm is assigned to all channels, the total character appears instead of the channel number.

Page 82

The cyclic output of the event texts depends on the set chart speed. Chart speed 1 120 mm/h 300 1200 mm/h Output cycle Every 100 mm Every 200 mm Offset from text to text 20 mm 40 mm Offset from main time line 15mm 15mm

Table 12 Output cycle for event text

6.1.5 Start line (only R40 version) The start line (Fig. 56 Example recording for R40 version) appears each time the graphic recording has been interrupted and restarted. The line consists of the word START, date, time, chart speed and set measuring cycle. 6.1.6 Time markers (only R40 version) A time printout (Fig. 56 Example recording for R40 version) is made cyclically at the left edge of the chart depending on the chart speed. A horizontal marking line is printed as the first character followed by the date and time in hours and minutes. The date is printed with the first time printout after 12:00 and 00:00 hours. Either the 24-hour clock or the 12-hour clock can be used for the time printout. The intervals between the time markers depend on the set chart speed and are listed in the following table: Chart speed [mm/h] OFF 1 1.25 2.5 5 10 20 60 120 300 600 1200 6.1.7 Interval [mm] -12 10 10 10 10 20 20 20 50 100 200 h] -12 8 4 2 1 1 20 10 10 10 10 Time interval [min] --

Table 13 Interval between time markers

Limit line and alarm markers (only R40 version) Limit lines (Fig. 56 Example recording for R40 version) can be drawn parallel to the time axis. The lines are vertical and approx. 2mm long. The spaces of the dashed line are halved when an alarm occurs. The limit lines are written by the text channel. Section 5 describes the parameterization of these functions (MIN. or MAX. with line). The associated alarm status changes when the measured curve cuts the limit line. The symbol, alarm number, channel number or are written cyclically next to the limit line.
Page 83

Note that there is a time offset between the measured curves and the inscription of the limit line. 6.1.8 Measured-value table (R40 version) A measured-value table (Fig. 56 Example recording for R40 version) can be printed out cyclically or event-controlled. Only measured values are printed for channels for which the mode Measure or Record has been selected. Possible trigger conditions: q Cyclically every 1, 2, 3, 4, 12 hours q Alarms A1 to A6 q Inputs DI1 to DI4 The graphic recording is not interrupted when printing the measured-value table, ie. the 2nd and 3rd lines are only printed if the chart feed has reached a full line height since the last line. If a further trigger function for a measured-value table or an event text arrives whilst a table is being printed, this is only commenced when the table has been completely printed and the chart feed has reached a full line height since the last line. The printout of the measured-value table always coincides with a time marker if it is carried out cyclically. The first line of the measured-value table is omitted in this case (reading direction: from bottom to top). The information of an analog channel comprises (from left to right): q Channel number, eg. #3 q Measured value with sign q Dimension of parameterized measuring range q Symbol for open-circuit if applicable q Symbols of alarms assigned to the channel The information of a digital channel comprises (from left to right): q Channel number with code letter d for digital q Measured value 0 for Low or 1 for High 6.1.9 Grid (only R40 version) Function in preparation! The text channel (R40 version) can be used to print a grid on (preferably) unprinted paper. The interval between the grids depends on the chart speed. The grids are synchronised with the time markers and independent of the starting time for recording. The grid crosses at 20, 40, 60 and 80% are omitted if q a recorder text is written at 12 a.m. and 12 p.m., and q a measured-value table is printed and q an event text is printed. At a high chart speed, the markers are no longer on a time line, they are written oblique. With a chart speed from 300 to 1200mm/h, only the 0% and 100% markers are written.

Page 84

6.1.10

Priorities of text outputs The printing of texts is triggered cyclically or event-controlled. The texts are printed in chronological order. If several texts are waiting to be printed, the print messages are buffered and the printout of the next text line delayed so that the texts can be printed without overwriting. A congestion of printer messages may occur if a large number of texts occurs within a short time or large time intervals exist between the text lines because of a slow chart speed. The recorder carries out the following measures in order to avoid a buffer overflow in the event of congestion: q If the buffer for print messages is close to overflowing, the printing of texts is not delayed until they do not overwrite one another. q Texts which are triggered cyclically and which only contain redundant information are delayed, or omitted if texts with a higher priority are present during a complete cycle. q Texts are printed out in abbreviated form. The texts are always abbreviated if the printing of a further text with a higher priority is also present. The following priority list applies: High priority
v

Switch-on line START line Chart switching line Edge of digital channel Grid Time mark Event-controlled measured-value table Event-controlled event text Event-controlled time mark and carriage adjustment Cyclic measured-value table Cyclic event text Cyclic carriage adjustment Cyclic limit lines

Low priority

Cyclic digital channel lines

Time markers and edges of digital channels are exceptions for two reasons: Time markers and edges of digital channels are printed without being delayed, ie. they can be printed over other texts. If a time marker or a digital channel edge occurs whilst printing a text, the text is only interrupted and not aborted. 6.1.11 Configuration data (only R40 version) The set configuration data can be printed if required. Printing is triggered using the PROG menu [100,10] . Fig. 55 shows an example of a printout.

Adjustment, test prints, carriage/text positions Adjustment When adjusting the measuring ranges, a reference value is determined for the individual ranges of the input amplifier using external signals and stored in a nonvolatile data memory. Note The measuring ranges have been adjusted by the manufacturer prior to delivery. A new adjustment, should this be necessary, must only be carried out using suitable calibrators.

7.19.1.1 T[80] Adjustment: Range, T[85] Channel

You require a signal generator or resistance transmitter in order to carry out an adjustment. Connect the source to the signal input terminals. The error of the signal generator or resistance transmitter is included as an additional error in the result of the recorder. Except for 20mA and 10V, the measuring ranges can be adjusted using any channel. Therefore connect the signal generator or resistance transmitter to the input terminals of the associated channel or to all input terminals. Connect the jumpers as in Fig. 14. If the recorder is only used in the range setting you have selected, adjustment of the unused ranges is unnecessary. The setting Adjustment and its subsequent settings support adjustment of the measuring ranges. The adjustment is carried out by setting the measuring range and the channel assignment. If an adjustment is required for each channel, this can be carried out for the individual channels or for all channels together. The field Adjust is subsequently set, and the set measuring range is automatically adjusted (Fig. 65).

Test print Following maintenance and adjustment, you can check the settings and status of the recording systems using test prints. In addition, the test prints are an important aid during troubleshooting. Test print 1: q A step recording is carried out for each analog channel in steps of 10%. No automatic abort. Purpose: checking of linearity and hysteresis. Correct setting under Maintenance, carriage position 1...3 (Section 7.19.4) is a requirement. Test print 2: q A simultaneous and alternating 0% and 100% recording is carried out for all channels. No automatic abort. Purpose: checking of pen offset between individual channels and checking of setting Maintenance, carriage position 1...3.

Maintenance Six settings are available for maintenance purposes. The recording systems can be set to the 0% and 100% lines using Carriage position 1 to Carriage position 4. The setting can be used eg. to adapt the recording system to the chart which has changed as a result of climatic influences. The setting is limited. You should inform the servicing department if the 0% or 100% line cannot be reached using the maintenance facilities. The setting Text position is used to change the space between the pens of the analog channels and the pen of the text channel (only R40 version) (see example on next page). The setting procedure for the recording systems is terminated by End. The possible settings are shown in Fig. 67.

7.19.4.2 Setting example for text channel The vertical spacing between the pens of channel 1 and the pen of the text channel is typically 7 mm. The exact spacing must be determined in an adjustment procedure and stored in the EEPROM. To do this, select the menu item Maintenance - Text position in the TEST menu.

Weight Recorder Explanation of error data The total error to be expected results from several types of error which in turn depend on different influencing variables, the measuring mode, the recorder programming and the recorder design. The recorders correspond to class 0.5 to DIN 43782 or IEC 60484. The class accuracy of 0.5 does not mean that the error is always within 0.5% of the full-scale value or the span under all operating conditions. It means that the error does not exceed 0.5% of the reference value under reference conditions. The maximum range expansion permissible only results from the accuracy required for a specific task. There are no recorder limitations for the range expansion. The maximum total error to be expected results from the total of the individual errors. The actual error will generally be much smaller and typically approx. 1/3 of the maximum total error since it can be assumed that not all influencing variables will have their most unfavourable values, and that some of the influences will mutually cancel one another. The error data refer to the diagram. A requirement is correct adjustment of the carriage position in the TEST menu. Maximum absolute total error: F = Fel + Fmech Fel Fmech = See table of measured values 0.35% q Left value Right value
