Cautions on Connections  
4. CONNECTIONS 4.2  
Observe the following cautions during connections for securing safety and reliability.  
Power supply  
1
4
Keep the input/output connections  
away from noise source  
Keep all connection cables away from noise  
source as far as possible, otherwise a malfunction  
may occur. Provide a solution if the cables cannot  
be separated from a noise source due to  
unavoidable circumstances.  
Use a single-phase power supply having a stable  
voltage without any waveform distortion for the  
purpose of preventing wrong operations.  
A switch and an overcurrent  
protective device  
Warning  
Prepare a switch and an overcurrent  
protective device (3 A) to the power  
supply for preventing an accidental  
electric shock during connection work.  
This instrument is not provided with any  
replaceable overcurrent protective device.  
Major noise sources  
Remedial measures  
Insert noise filters  
between power  
terminals and  
input/output terminals.  
A CR filter is often used.  
Electromagnetic switch,  
etc. Power line having  
waveform distortion,  
Inverter, Thyristor regulator  
Turn off the power supply  
Warning  
before starting connections  
.
5 Use crimp style terminals  
(1) Mount crimp style terminals for connection  
cable terminations to prevent any looseness  
or disconnection of terminals or a short-circuit  
failure between terminals.  
Make sure to turn off the power supply  
before connecting the power and the  
input/output terminals to prevent an  
electric shock.  
(2) Use the crimp style terminals with an  
insulation sleeve to prevent an electric  
shocks.  
2
Keep the input/output connections  
away from high voltage power  
circuits  
6 Unused terminals  
Don’t use any unused terminals for relaying,  
otherwise the electric circuits may be damaged.  
Don’t place the input/output cables close to or in  
parallel with any strong power circuits including  
power lines. Place the cables 50cm or more away  
from high voltage power circuits when they are  
placed close to or in parallel to other circuits.  
Secure the connected  
Warning  
cables properly.  
Secure the connected cables so as not to  
allow them to be hooked by a person or a  
substance, otherwise the connections may  
be cut and disrupted, and may cause an  
electric shock or other accidents.  
3 Keep the thermocouple input away  
from a heat source  
For thermocouple inputs, keep the input terminals  
away from a heat source (a heating body) to  
reduce a reference junction compensation error.  
Don’t expose the input terminals to direct sunlight,  
etc.

Remarks  
Maintenance of pens  
1. Pen tip  
The pen tip is made of felt material. If an excessive force is added to it, the top of the pen tip will be  
crushed making clear printing or tracing impossible.  
2. Pen cap  
Each pen is provided with a pen cap for preventing drying and protecting the pen tip. Remove and retain  
the pen caps before the pen installation.  
3. Before stopping recording for long hours  
When it is expected that recording will not be executed for a day or more, remove and store the pens by  
attaching the pen cap to them. If the pens are left installed while no recording is executed, the ink will stain  
the chart paper.

(Note) Input exceeding the measuring range or printing range is printed as an over-range.  
2 Cautions on Programming and Reference  
Read the following cautions and reference items. The programming flow charts are described on the next page.  
1) Minimum printing range  
Read the “minimum printing range” on Section 22.1 (Input Specifications). A programming error occurs if the  
minimum value and the maximum value are set to the same figure.  
2) Position of decimal point  
Actual position  
of decimal  
point  
Range No.  
(Measuring range)  
The printing range reflects to the  
scale value. The decimal point  
position on actual display/printing is  
fixed by the range No. selected. For  
changing it, refer to the scale  
programming.  
Printing range

)
0 to 200  
0 to 200  
23 (-200 to 1370  
)  
3) When “Range/Printing range” is changed, the last scale value becomes ineffective and is replaced with the  
new printing range.  
4) Channel for subtract printing  
Different range programming procedure is required. Read Section 11.4 (Programming Subtract Printing).  
5) Programming a same range to other channels  
The [copy] function is useful. Read Section 11.14.  
6) Scaling  
Printing range reflects to the scale value. For scale programming to the channel with voltage input, read  
Section 11.2.

The electromotive force of the thermocouple input is reduced by an amount proportional to the temperature  
at the terminals. The recorder itself compensates (reference junction compensation) for this reduction. The  
adjustment is executed by inputs based on the reference electromotive force (0°C reference). In case the  
“RJ selection” is set to “1” (Enable) in the “Range/Printing range” programming, an amount equivalent to the  
reference junction compensation has to be subtracted using a reference junction compensator.

18.4 Time-axis Adjustment of Pens  
18. ADJUSTMENT  
When the time-axis synchronization (POC) is programmed to “on”, the gaps between the pens may change over  
time, resulting in error between their time-axis. This adjustment is for correction of these changes. It is  
recommended to adjust them once a year for maintaining the time-axis synchronization.

The electromotive force of the thermocouple input is reduced by an amount proportional to the temperature  
at the terminals. The recorder itself compensates (reference junction compensation) for this reduction. The  
adjustment is executed by inputs based on the reference electromotive force (0°C reference). In case the  
“RJ selection” is set to “1” (Enable) in the “Range/Printing range” programming, an amount equivalent to the  
reference junction compensation has to be subtracted using a reference junction compensator.
