The DR4300 recorder is a one or two pen microprocessor-based circular chart recorder. The basic DR4301  
(one pen) and DR4302 (two pen) recorders provide reliable, convenient pen-drawn analog traces on  
preprinted 10 inch (250 mm) charts. Both the chart and the pens are driven by stepper motors controlled by  
the microprocessor. Chart speed and range are configurable. The basic recorder is also available in CE  
models DR4321 (one pen) and DR4322 (two pen).  
In addition to generating pen-drawn chart traces, the DR4311 (one pen) and DR4312 (two pen) models  
include a display and keypad. This option lets you display the real time value of the process variable for  
each pen channel, as well as other values. The recorder with display and keypad is also available in CE  
models DR4331 (one pen) and DR4332 (two pen).  
Each pen channel has its own printed circuit assembly (PCA), allowing the channels to operate  
independently.  
CE conformity (Europe)  
Indicated models of this product are in conformity with the protection requirements of the following  
European Council Directives: 73/23/EEC, the Low Voltage Directive, and 89/336/EEC, the EMC  
Directive. Conformity of this product with any other “CE Mark” Directive(s) shall not be assumed.  
Deviation from the installation conditions specified in this manual, and the special conditions for CE  
conformity in Section 2 of this manual, may invalidate this product’s conformity with the Low Voltage and  
EMC Directives.  
Analog inputs  
The input for each pen channel can be one of any standard electrical signal: milliamp, millivolt, voltage,  
RTD, or thermocouple. The input type and range are configurable. In the models having display and  
keypad the range can be expanded and compressed to meet specific measurement needs. The display and  
keypad also permit entry of input bias and filter values. (The input filter for the models without a display is  
fixed at one second; their bias is zero.)  
Digital inputs  
Two digital inputs for each pen channel are available as an option. These inputs can be used to trigger the  
switchover to a second control setpoint or a pre-configured constant output if an external event causes  
contact closure (sets the digital input to ON). In addition, the digital inputs can be used to remotely reset  
the optional totalizer or limit controller.

DR4300 Circular Chart Recorder  
Communications  
The Modbus communication option permits configuration of the unit and monitoring of process variables  
over a standard multi-drop serial communications link.  
Relay outputs for control and alarms  
The models with display and keypad are available with output relays, two for each pen channel. These  
relays can be wired for Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) terminals. ON-OFF control can  
be performed using one relay (relay simplex control) or two relays (relay duplex control).  
Any relay not used for control is available for alarming. Two alarm setpoints can be configured for each  
alarm relay. An adjustable hysteresis of 0.0 % to 100.0 % is configurable for the alarm setpoint.  
Analog output for control or retransmission  
Depending on the model ordered, a 4 to 20 mA current output may be available for control or  
retransmission of a process variable (“auxiliary output”).  
Failsafe operation  
The control function can operate in automatic or manual mode. In automatic the control function works to  
maintain the process variable at the setpoint entered locally by the operator. During configuration a  
“failsafe” value can be specified. This value is used as the output at power up and in case of input failure  
during automatic operation. (When the unit goes to failsafe, the control function goes to manual mode.)  
In manual mode the operator enters the output locally. If the recorder has gone to failsafe operation, the  
operator will be able to change the output value from the failsafe value specified during configuration.  
Timer and totalizer options  
The recorder is available with timer and totalizer options. The timer can be started locally, remotely, or by  
an alarm. The unit can be configured to display elapsed time or time remaining. At the end of the timeout  
period Relay 2 is energized, and remains energized until the timer is reset. The totalizer can be reset  
locally or remotely; its displayed value can be scaled.  
Setpoint Programming Option  
The recorder is available with a Setpoint Program option. This feature allows configuration of up to four  
setpoint programs using a total of twenty-four ramp and soak segments. A setpoint and time is configured  
for each segment. The program can be set up to include guaranteed soak segments. A plus/minus  
deviation is configured for all soak segments. Whenever the plus/minus deviation is exceeded, soak timing  
is frozen.  
Display and keypad  
In addition to process variables, the display can show output, setpoint, and deviation real time values if the  
recorder is equipped with optional outputs. The upper display uses four characters to display the input  
value. The lower display shows other parameters using a two- or three-character label and four- or three-  
digit values. In addition, status and error messages flash on the lower display when necessary.

Overview  
The six keys are used to select the real time value to be displayed, and to select set up parameters and their  
values during configuration. The display and keypad are behind the door, protecting them from dirt.  
A supplementary external keypad is also available.  
For more information about the operator interface on models having a display and keypad, see Subsection  
4.2.  
Configuration  
The models without a display are configured with two switchbanks: one for configuration, the other for  
input definition. Configuration is a simple matter of consulting a table in this manual; selecting the  
appropriate combination of range, chart speed, engineering unit, and input type; then setting the switches as  
shown in the table.  
The display and keypad are used to configure models with these options. When the unit is in configuration  
mode, set up parameters are displayed, and grouped by function. Designate site-specific values by selecting  
them from a list of choices, or entering them as numeric values. The operator can be locked out from  
making configuration changes.  
The models with display also use a switchbank to define the type of input to be expected by the hardware.  
Input parameters used by the software are configured using the display and keypad.  
Self-diagnostics  
All DR4300 recorders run self-diagnostics at power up and in the background during normal operation.  
Problems are reported by error messages on the display when present. An LED in the models without a  
display lights if the unit fails a self-diagnostic.  
Construction  
All DR4300 recorders are housed in a rugged molded case which can be panel-, pipe- or surface-mounted.  
An acrylic-windowed, gasketed door protects internal components from harsh environments while  
allowing easy access to the chart.

DR4300 Circular Chart Recorder  
NOTE 1: PID control options include current output plus two discrete outputs for alarms. If ON-OFF or  
time-proportioned simplex control is used, only one discrete output is available for an alarm.  
Time-proportioned duplex control requires the use of both outputs and therefore no relay  
outputs are available for alarms on that pen channel. Accutune II tuning is a standard feature  
with PID control options.  
NOTE 2: Customer must supply the input actuation and range information for each input in the Free Form  
section of the order to have the unit supplied with a Certificate of Calibration.  
NOTE 3: Digital Inputs are only available when ordering outputs in Table I.  
NOTE 4: 4 to 20 mA Retransmission Output includes two outputs per pen for alarms. You must specify  
the type of alarm outputs required (i.e., Relay, SS Relay, Open Collector Outputs).  
NOTE 5: On key numbers DR4301, DR4302, DR4321, and DR4322 the communication address is fixed;  
the display assembly is required to change it. Only one DR4301 or DR4321 instrument, or only  
one pen of a DR4302 or DR4322 can exist on the network, otherwise communication conflicts  
will exist. Pen 1 is the default when communications is specified on these models.  
NOTE 6: Recorder is supplied with one box of 30755820-001, 0 to 100 Even "starter" charts. For special  
range configuration on the DR4301, DR4302, DR4321, or DR4322 Recorder, provide the Input  
Type, Chart Range, Chart Speed, °C or °F, Engineering Units, Linear or Non-Linear Chart Type  
when ordering.  
For example: Pen 1: "J" Thermocouple, 0-375 °F, 7-Day Linear Chart  
Pen 2: 4-20 mA, 0-1000, 7-Day Linear Chart  
For configuration on Models DR4311, DR4312, DR4331, and DR4332, the customer must  
supply completed "Configuration Worksheets" with order for units to be Factory configured.

Installation  
Taking electrical noise precautions  
Electrical noise is composed of unabated electrical signals which produce undesirable effects in  
measurement and control circuits.  
Digital equipment is especially sensitive to the effects of electrical noise. Your recorder has built-in circuits  
to reduce the effect of electrical noise from various sources. If there is a need to further reduce these  
effects:  
Separate External Wiring—Separate connecting wires into bundles (see Table 2-6) and route the  
individual bundles through separate conduits or metal trays.  
Use Suppression Devices—For additional noise protection, you may want to add suppression  
devices at the external source. Appropriate suppression devices are commercially available.  
For additional noise information, refer to document 51-52-05-01, How to Apply Digital Instrumentation in  
Severe Electrical Noise Environments.  
CE conformity special conditions (Europe)  
Shielded cables with a drain wire are required for all input and output cables. All instrument shielded  
cable drain wires must be connected to a low impedance earth ground at the entry fitting. Cable/conduit  
entry fittings shall effectively terminate the cable shield connecting the shield to the enclosure conductive  
coating. The shielded cable shield shall not extend into the instrument closure.

2.5.4 Communication (Optional)  
Introduction  
If the recorder hardware supports optional Modbus RTU communication, the communication link is wired  
to the terminal block on the communication board in the upper left corner of the case.  
ATTENTION  
Network address, baud rate, and transmitter delay are configurable for models with a display (see  
Section 4).  
For models without a display the address of pen 1 is fixed at 127, baud rate is fixed at 9600, and  
there is no transmitter delay. Only one pen channel with the fixed address of 127 can be on the  
network. Pen channel 2, if present in the recorder, cannot communicate. (Display is required to  
configure a unique address for the second pen to communicate.)  
Procedure  
Refer to Figure 2-13 while following the procedure in Table 2-11 to install communication wiring.

2.6 Output Wiring  
ATTENTION  
The recorder is available with several options and multiple output algorithms. Output terminal use  
depends on which output algorithm and options are used. The wiring diagrams in this section  
show how to wire the terminals. To see which terminals are used for what output function, refer to  
Table 2-12. This table applies to all control types. Each pen channel is configured separately, and  
each can use a different output algorithm. (The output algorithm is set with the control set up group  
“OUTALG” parameter.)

2.6.1 Discrete Outputs  
Introduction  
Each pen channel in the recorder models having display and keypad can be equipped with two optional  
discrete outputs. These outputs can be used for control or alarming, depending on the configuration as  
described in Section 4 – Configuration, Startup, and Operation of Recorder with Display.  
Three types of discrete outputs are available:  
electromechanical relay  
solid state relay  
open collector output  
ATTENTION  
The electromechanical relays on the printed circuit assembly (PCA) for each pen channel can be wired for  
Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) operation.  
ATTENTION  
The DR4300 is available as a limit controller. In a limit controller each pen channel’s printed circuit  
assembly Relay 1 (TB4 terminals 3 and 2 for NO contacts, and 2 and 1 for NC contacts) is used for  
limit control. When the recorder detects that the input has exceeded the limit (or fallen below the  
limit, depending on configuration), the controller goes to the limit state: Relay 1 is de-energized.

of Recorder without Display  
3. Configuration, Startup, and Operation of  
Basic Recorder without Display  
3.1 Overview  
Introduction  
Set up the functionality of the models that do not have a display and keypad using configuration and input  
switches. Each pen channel in the recorder has an associated printed circuit assembly (PCA) shown in  
Figure 3-1. The configuration switches are the SW1 switchbank. The input switches are the SW6  
switchbank. If your recorder is equipped with two pens, the printed circuit assemblies for the two pens can  
be set up differently. The PCA for pen 1 (purple) is on the right (when facing the recorder); the PCA for  
pen 2 (red) is on the left (if present).  
Set up is fast and easy. This section includes a table that shows the various available combinations of  
recording selections (such as chart range, length of time for single rotation of chart, whether the input is  
linear or non-linear), input actuation types, and whether jumper R56 should be in or out. Find your desired  
configuration for the pen 1 channel on the table, then set the SW1 and SW6 switches as indicated. Repeat  
the process for the pen 2 channel, if available on your recorder, and set up is complete.

3.2 Configuration (Recording Set Up)  
3.2.1 Setting Configuration and Input Switches  
Introduction  
Configuration switches SW1 (see Figure 3-1) and input switches SW6 are provided on each printed circuit  
assembly associated with a pen channel. If your recorder is equipped with two pens, the printed circuit  
assemblies for the two pens can be set up differently.  
Table 3-2 shows the various available combinations of recording selections (such as chart range, length of  
time for single rotation of chart, whether input is linear or non-linear), input actuation types, and whether  
jumper R56 should be in or out.  
Figure 3-2 shows a sample chart for a 1-pen recorder.  
Procedure  
Follow the procedure in Table 3-1 to set up your recorder model without display. (To set up a model with a  
display see Section 4 – Configuration, Startup, and Operation of Recorder with Display.)  
The procedure described here assumes that the chart door is opened, the chart plate is swung out, and the  
power is removed.  
WARNING  
SHOCK HAZARD  
When the unit is powered a potentially lethal shock hazard exists at the AC line connections at TB1 on  
each printed circuit assembly. Make sure the unit power is disconnected before starting the procedure.  
More than one switch may be required to de-energize the recorder.  
Failure to observe this precaution can result in exposure to a potentially lethal shock hazard.

For each PCA, make a note of the number assigned to the configuration (from first column of  
Table 3-2). If you have to call Honeywell Technical Assistance for help, tell the support staff the  
configuration number(s) of the pen channel(s) in your recorder to speed up the troubleshooting  
process.  
ATTENTION  
If you set the switches in an ON/OFF combination that does not match any of the configurations in  
Table 3-2, the recorder will use configuration #1.

3.2.2 Setting SW6 Switch 2  
Off for RTD actuation  
For thermocouple and mV inputs, the setting of SW6 switch 2 affects the displayed input in case of  
burnout or other input failure.  
Burnout is always upscale on an instrument with no display. When an input fails, the pen is driven upscale.  
However, if the SW6-2 setting is ON, the pen may be driven downscale momentarily until the input circuit  
is driven underrange.  
It is important, however, to set the switch to OFF in the case of RTD actuation.  
ATTENTION  
If SW6 switch 2 is ON for an RTD input, the recorder will not be able to process the input  
accurately, even when the input sensor is providing a valid signal.

3.3.3 Running the Optional Step Test  
Introduction  
You can test the recorder’s mechanical operation by running a “step test”. This test is initiated by setting  
switches as described in Table 3-4.  
This test prints a step pattern, which is independent of any chart settings, with horizontal lines drawn by  
both pens at each 10% increment on the chart (see Figure 3-4).  
The test will run for one complete revolution of the chart before it returns to normal operation. The chart  
revolution for the test takes approximately three minutes, regardless of configured chart speed.  
WARNING  
SHOCK HAZARD  
When the unit is powered a potentially lethal shock hazard exists at the AC line connections at TB1 on  
each printed circuit assembly (behing the chart plate). Make sure the unit power is disconnected before  
starting the procedure. More than one switch may be required to de-energize the recorder.  
Failure to observe this precaution can result in exposure to a potentially lethal shock hazard.  
Procedure  
Use the procedure in Table 3-4 to run the step test.

4.3 Configuration (Recording and Output Set Up)  
4.3.1 Overview  
Introduction  
The display and keypad on the DR4311, DR431, DR4331, and DR4332 models are used for setting up  
recording and output options in Set Up (configuration) mode, as well as for displaying real-time values  
When the recorder is in configuration mode, setup parameters are displayed, grouped by function.  
Designate site-specific values by selecting them from a list of choices, or entering them as numeric values.  
If your recorder is equipped with two pens, function parameters are configured separately for each pen, and  
stored on the printed circuit assembly (PCA) associated with that pen. The PCA on the right (when facing  
recorder) is for pen 1 (purple); the PCA on the left is for pen 2 (red).  
If the hardware supports optional relay outputs for each pen, parameters are available for configuring  
control and/or alarms using these outputs. If an optional relay is used, then it can be wired for Normally  
Open and Normally Closed action.  
Hardware switches must be set to match the input type, and to specify input state in case of input failure.

4.3.3 How to Get Started  
Read the configuration tips  
Read Subsection 4.3.4 “Configuration Tips”. These tips will help you configure your recorder quickly and  
easily.  
Set the hardware switches  
Refer to Subsection 4.3.5 “Switch Settings” for required hardware switch settings on the printed circuit  
assembly associated with each pen. The hardware switches should be set before specifying values for  
function parameters.  
Install recorder  
Connect the recorder to ac power as described in Section 2 so that you will be able to configure the unit  
using the display.  
Become familiar with the configuration procedure  
Read Subsection 4.3.6 “Configuration Procedure” to learn how to access the set up groups, and the  
function parameters within each of these groups (shown in the prompt hierarchy in Figure 4-2).  
Assign application-specific values to the set up parameters  
The set up groups and function parameters are listed in this section in the order of their appearance on the  
display. The list includes the name of the prompt, the range of setting or selections available, the definition  
of each parameter, and the factory setting. It allows you to quickly find a parameter and determine the  
appropriate value or selection for your application.  
Complete configuration record sheet  
Subsection 4.3.21 contains a “Configuration Record Sheet”. It is good practice to record your instrument’s  
configuration for future reference.

Use the FUNC key to display the individual function parameters under  
each group. The prompts are listed in the order of their appearance in each  
group.  
Holding the SET UP key in will scroll through the set up groups. However,  
when any set up group is displayed, you can scroll through the set up groups  
twice as fast using the or key. When in any set up group, hold the  
FUNC key in to scroll through the prompts within that group.  
When changing the value of a parameter, you can adjust a more significant  
digit in the upper display by holding in one key [] or [], and pressing the  
other [] or [] at the same time.  
Changing values quickly  
Exiting Set Up mode  
• The adjustment will move one digit to the left.  
• Press the key again and you will move one more digit to the left.  
To exit Set Up mode, press the DISP key.  
This returns the display to the same state it was in immediately preceding  
entry into the Set Up mode.  
If you are in Set Up (configuration) mode and do not press any keys for one  
minute, the recorder will time out and revert to the mode and display that was  
being used prior to entry into Set Up mode.

4.3.5 Switch Settings  
4.3.5.1 Introduction  
Significance of hardware switches in models with display  
SW6 input switches: The display and keypad are used to configure the software on each pen channel’s  
printed circuit assembly (PCA). In addition, the input hardware switches 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in SW6 must be  
set to match the input type as described in Subsection 4.3.5.2. This is required so that the recorder  
hardware will provide an appropriate value to the recorder software.  
SW6 burnout switch 2: This burnout switch should be set to specify whether the input used by the  
recorder for the channel should be sent over range or under range if the input to the recorder fails while the  
“BRNOUT” parameter value is “NONE”. Alternatively, if the “BRNOUT” parameter has a value of “UP”  
or “DOWN” switch 2 should be set to match. Details are provided in Subsection 4.3.5.3.  
SW1 configuration switches: In a recorder model having a display and keypad all switches in SW1 will  
be ignored if the cable from the display and keypad assembly is plugged into J4 on the PCA associated  
with the pen channel. (SW1 switches are used to configure recorder models that do not have a display and  
keypad as described in Section 3.)  
ATTENTION  
If the display cable is disconnected after the software has been configured using the display and  
keypad, the recorder’s behavior will depend on the settings of the SW1 switches. If all SW1  
switches are in the OFF position when the cable is disconnected, the recorder will continue to use  
the software configuration entered with the display and keypad. However, if all SW1 switches are  
not OFF when the cable is disconnected, the recorder will use the configuration in Table 3-2 that  
matches the SW1 switch settings. (If the switch setting combination does not match any  
configuration in Table 3-2, the recorder will use configuration #1.)  
Safety precautions  
Exercise appropriate safety precautions when setting switches.  
!
WARNING—SHOCK HAZARD  
SET THE SWITCHES DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION WITH THE UNIT  
POWER DISCONNECTED. DO NOT TOUCH POWER CONNECTIONS  
AT TB1. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION CAN RESULT IN  
EXPOSURE TO A POTENTIALLY LETHAL SHOCK HAZARD. MORE THAN  
ONE SWITCH MAY BE REQUIRED TO DE-ENERGIZE UNIT.

4.3.5.2 Setting SW6 Input Switches  
SW6 switches 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 define input type  
In a recorder model having a display and keypad the input switches at SW6 must be set to match the type  
of input to be used. The location of SW6 is shown in Figure 4-3. The appropriate switch settings for the  
various input types are shown in Table 4-3.  
Note that the setting of switch 2 in SW6 is not related to input type. It is used, along with the “BRNOUT”  
parameter in the input group, to specify the effects of an input failure as described in Subsection 4.3.5.3.  
ATTENTION  
The ON position for SW6 switches is toward the left side of the printed circuit assembly (when  
facing recorder.)

4.3.5.3 Setting SW6 Burnout Switch  
Overview  
What happens to the displayed input value when the input signal to the recorder fails depends on several  
factors: the input type, the setting of SW6 switch 2, and the value of the “BRNOUT” parameter in the input  
set up group.  
SW6 switch 2 OFF for RTD  
If the input to the pen channel is from an RTD, SW6 switch 2 must always be set to OFF.  
CAUTION  
If SW6 switch 2 is ON for an RTD input, the recorder will not be able to process the input correctly,  
even when the input sensor is providing a valid input signal.  
SW6 switch 2 setting unimportant for Volt, mV, and mA inputs  
It does not matter whether SW6 switch 2 is ON or OFF if the pen channel uses a Volt, mV, or mA input  
signal. In case of input failure, the displayed input value will show little change, regardless of the setting of  
SW6 switch 2 or the value assigned to the “BRNOUT” parameter. (However, the value of “BRNOUT” is  
still important to implementing your control strategy because the value of “BRNOUT” affects the output  
used in case of input failure. See Subsection 4.3.11 for details.)  
SW6 switch 2 setting determines displayed thermocouple input if BRNOUT = NONE  
If the value of “BRNOUT” is “NONE” when a thermocouple input fails, then the setting of SW6 switch 2  
determines whether the displayed input value will be under range or over range. The recorder can display  
1 % over or under range for thermocouples.  
If SW6 switch 2 is ON, the displayed value will be under range.  
If SW6 switch 2 is OFF, the displayed value will be over range.  
If the pen is configured to trace the input value (“PENIN” pen set up parameter value is “INP”), then the  
pen will also be driven over or under range.  
Note that the over range or under range input will have no effect on output. When “BRNOUT” =  
“NONE”, the recorder uses the configured failsafe value as the output in case of input failure, rather than a  
calculated value based on input.  
SW6 switch 2 setting for thermocouple inputs should match BRNOUT if BRNOUT = UP OR DOWN  
We recommend that, in the case of thermocouple inputs, SW6 switch 2 be set to OFF if “BRNOUT” =  
“UP” and ON if “BRNOUT” = “DOWN”.  
When the input failure first occurs, the displayed input for a thermocouple input will briefly be driven  
according to the hardware switch setting. However, as soon as the software recognizes that it has received  
an out-of-range input signal, the displayed input will be driven according to the value, “UP” or “DOWN”,  
configured for “BRNOUT”. The displayed value (over range or under range) as configured in “BRNOUT”,  
will remain on the display until a valid input is restored.

DR4300 Circular Chart Recorder  
If the switch and the set up parameter do not match, operator confusion may result. For example, in case of  
mismatch the displayed value could first go under range, then quickly go over range. However, except for  
the brief period before the software reacts to the out-of-range value, the effect of the mismatch is  
insignificant.

4.3.6 Configuration Procedure  
Introduction  
The configuration prompts are sequenced in a group/function hierarchy as shown in Figure 4-2. Once you  
have set the input switches in SW6 as described in Subsection 4.3.5, configure all the function parameters  
that are applicable for your recorder model and application. During configuration some function  
parameters will not be displayed if they do not apply to your application. For example, if you set the  
control group function “CONTRL” to “DIS”, disabling control, then no other control group prompts will  
be displayed.  
To enter your selections or values, follow the procedure in Table 4-4 and fill in the values or selections on  
the worksheet in Subsection 4.3.21. Keep this worksheet as a record of how your recorder was configured.  
This procedure tells you the keys to press to get to any set up group (and any associated function  
parameters prompt).  
Procedure  
2-pen recorder, be sure to identify individual parameters for each pen and control loop as applicable.  
Make sure lock set up group “LOCK” function is set to “NONE” or “CAL.” See Subsection 4.3.19.

4.3.10 Totalizer Parameters Set Up Group  
Introduction  
If the recorder hardware supports totalizer functions, the functions in this group are used to calculate and  
display the total flow volume as measured by the input. The displayed value is six digits with a  
configurable scale factor.  
The totalized value can be in engineering units different from the input, by setting INP EU (engineering  
units of input) and TOT EU (engineering units of totalized value).  
The total can be displayed with one or two decimal places to provide more resolution for selections that  
produce smal values (e.g., Acre-Feet). A Scaler configuration other than one will override the decimal  
display.  
Control group prompts  
Table 4-8 lists all the function prompts in the totalizer function group.  
For a 2-pen recorder, the desired input channel is displayed on the left side of the operator interface. Press  
FUNC to select channel.

would result in a 12 mA current output.  
HALF  
HALF—Current output is calculated over half the range  
(50 % to 100 %). For example, a control output of 50 %  
would result in a 4 mA current output.  
CTRALG  
CONTROL ALGORITHM—Use this to specify the type of  
control appropriate for your application.  
ON/OFF [factory setting]  
ON/OFF is the simplest type of control. The output can be  
either ON (100 %) or OFF (0 %). The process variable  
(PV) is compared with the setpoint (SP) to determine the  
sign of the error (ERROR = PV–SP). The ON/OFF  
algorithm operates on the sign of the error.  
In direct-acting control (set with parameter “ACTION”  
described below), when the error is positive, the output is  
100 %. When the error is negative, the output is 0 %. If  
the control action is reverse, the opposite is true. An  
adjustable overlap is provided between the ON and OFF  
states. (See “HYST” below.)  
DUPLEX ON/OFF is an extension of this algorithm that  
applies when the “OUTLAG” is set for “RLYD” (relay  
duplex). It allows for the operation of a second ON/OFF  
output. There is a configurable deadband (see “DBAND”  
below) between the operating ranges of the two inputs,  
and a separately configurable overlap (“HYST”) of the ON  
and OFF states of each output. With no relay action the  
controller output will read 50 %.

PID A  
CTRALG  
(continued)  
PROPORTIONAL-INTEGRAL-DERIVATIVE—  
PID A is normally used for three-mode control. Unlike  
ON/OFF control, with PID A the output can be  
somewhere between 100 % and 0 %. PID A applies all  
three control actions (Proportional, Integral, and  
Derivative) to the error. This control can be tuned using  
the parameters in the tuning group.  
NOTE: PID A should not be  
used for proportional only  
action (that is, no integral  
(reset) action). Instead, use  
PDMR with “RATE T” set to  
0.  
Proportional (gain) regulates the controller’s output in  
proportion to the size of the error (difference between  
setpoint and process variable).  
Integral (reset) regulates the controller’s output in  
proportion to the size of the error and time the error  
has existed (duration). The amount of corrective action  
depends on the value of the proportional gain.  
Derivative (rate) regulates the controller’s output in  
proportion to the rate of change of the error. Again, the  
amount of correction depends on the gain setting.  
PDMR  
PROPORTIONAL-DERIVATIVE with MANUAL  
RESET—Use PDMR whenever integral action is not  
needed during automatic control. The output is calculated  
with no integral contribution. Then the value specified  
using the tuning parameter “MANRST” (manual reset) is  
added to the computed output to determine the controller  
output.  
Switching between manual and auto modes will not be  
bumpless in PDMR.  
PDMR variations: If you select PDMR you can configure  
the following variations:  
PD (proportional-derivative) control, by setting  
MANRST to 0.  
P (proportional only) control, by setting MANRST  
(integral term) to 0 and rate (derivative term) to 0  
(tuning parameter “RATE T”).

recorder remains in manual mode.  
PBorGN  
PROPORTIONAL BAND or GAIN—Use this parameter  
to choose whether you want to specify the proportional  
term in the PIDA or PDMR algorithms in terms of percent  
proportional band or of gain. Your choice here affects  
which tuning prompt, “PB” or “GAIN”, is displayed.  
This parameter is displayed only if the “CTRALG” (control  
algorithm) is set to “PIDA” or “PDMR”.  
PB  
Percent proportional band is the percent of the range of  
the measured variable for which a proportional-only  
controller will produce a 100 % change in its output.  
GAIN [factory setting]  
Gain is the ratio of output change (%) over the measured  
variable change (%) that caused it.  
The relationship between %PB and gain can be  
expressed as: GAIN = 100  
%PB  
For example, setting PB = 20 % will have the same effect  
on control as setting GAIN = 5. Therefore, if the change in  
the PV input were 3 % of the whole range of possible  
input values, then the resulting change in the output due  
to proportional only control would be 15 % of the output’s  
range, regardless of whether PBorGN = PB and PB = 20,  
or PBorGN = GN and GAIN = 5.  
Another example: Setting PB = 50 % will have the same  
effect as setting GAIN = 2. In this case, if the change in  
input were again 3 % of range, then the resulting output  
change would be 6 %.  
ATTENTION  
If the setting of PBorGN is changed,  
you must change the value of the associated tuning  
parameter (“PB” or “GAIN”) if you want to maintain the  
same control action. For example, suppose PBorGN = PB  
and the value of tuning parameter “PB” = 20. If you  
change PBorGN to GAIN, the value of tuning parameter  
“GAIN” will now be 20 (the value formerly assigned to  
“PB”). If you want the same control action you had before,  
you must change the value of “GAIN” to 5.

MINUTES PER REPEAT or REPEATS PER MINUTE—  
Use this parameter to choose whether you want to specify

length (minutes per repeat) or frequency (repeats per  
minute). Your choice here affects which tuning prompt, “I  
MIN” or “I RPM”, is displayed.  
The relationship between the two ways of thinking about  
reset is demonstrated by this example:  
20 repeats per minute = 0.05 minutes per repeat.  
This parameter is displayed only if the “CTRALG” (control  
algorithm) is set to “PIDA”.  
ATTENTION  
If the setting of MINRPM is changed,

RPM and the value of tuning parameter “I RPM” = 2. If  
you change MINRPM to I MIN, the value of “I MIN” will  
now be 2 (the value formerly assigned to “I RPM”). If you  
want the same control action you had before, you must  
change the value of “I MIN” to 0.5.

4.3.12 Tuning Parameters Set Up Group  
Introduction  
Tuning consists of establishing the appropriate values for tuning constants so that your recorder responds  
correctly to changes in process variable and setpoint. You can start with estimated values, but you will  
have to watch the system to judge how to modify the values. The tuning group parameters described in this  
subsection are available only if:  
your recorder supports control  
and  
the control type specified in the control setup group using the “CTRALG” (control algorithm)  
parameter is “PIDA” or “PDMR”.  
Two sets of PID constants  
Two sets of PID constants are provided for duplex control. When the recorder is used in a heat/cool  
application, the first set (“PB” or “GAIN”, “RATE T”, and “I MIN” or “I RPM”) apply to heat control.  
The second set (“PB2” or “GAIN 2”, “RATE2T”, and “I2 MIN” or “I2 RPM”) are used for cooling  
control.  
Accutune II  
Accutune II provides foolproof, trouble-free on-demand tuning in the recorder. No knowledge of the  
process is required at start-up. The operator simply enters the desired setpoint and initiates the tuning. The  
recorder immediately starts controlling to the setpoint while it identifies the process, calculates the tuning  
constants and enters them into the tuning set up group, and begins PID control with the correct tuning  
parameters. This works with any process, including integrating type processes, and allows retuning at a  
fixed setpoint. The tuning sequence will cycle the recorder’s output two full cycles between 0 % and 100  
% (or low and high output limits) while allowing only a very small process variable change above and  
below the setpoint during each cycle.  
Detailed instructions for using Accutune are provided in Appendix D.  
Fuzzy overshoot suppression  
A parameter is provided to enable/disable fuzzy overshoot suppression. When enabled, fuzzy overshoot  
suppression minimizes process variable overshoot following a setpoint change or a process disturbance.  
This is especially useful in processes which experience load changes or where even a small overshoot  
beyond the setpoint may result in damage or lost product.  
The fuzzy logic observes the speed and direction of the PV signal as it approaches the setpoint and  
temporarily modifies the internal controller response action as necessary to avoid an overshoot. There is  
no change to the PID algorithm, and the fuzzy logic does not alter the PID tuning parameters.

gain). Both proportional band and gain are ways of  
expressing the proportional component of control. See  
the description of control group parameter “PBorGN” for  
details concerning the two terms.

ATTENTION  
If control group parameter “OUTALG”

“CurT” (current/time duplex), and you are using the  
recorder in a heat/cool application, PB or GAIN is used  
for heat control. Cooling control would use PB2 or GAIN  
2 described later in this table.

RATE—Rate action affects the recorder’s output  
whenever the deviation between setpoint and process

is changing faster. (This is the “derivative” component of  
control.)  
RATE T  
[factory setting = 0.0]  
ATTENTION  
If control group parameter “OUTALG”  
is “RLYD” (relay duplex), “Tcur” (time/current duplex), or  
“CurT” (current/time duplex), and you are using the  
recorder in a heat/cool application, RATE T is used for  
heat control. Cooling control would use RATE2T

[factory setting = 0.02]  
Reset adjusts the recorder’s output taking into  
consideration both the size of the deviation (SP-PV) and  
the duration of the deviation. (This is the “integral”  
component of control.) The amount of corrective action  
depends on the value of PB or GAIN.  
The reset value specified here determines how many  
times proportional action is repeated per minute  
(I RPM) or the length (in minutes) of the reset action (I  
MIN). For example, if I MIN = .5, it is the same as if I  
RPM = 2. The result is the same; two resets are  
performed in every minute.  
ATTENTION  
If control group parameter “OUTALG”  
is “RLYD” (relay duplex), “Tcur” (time/current duplex), or  
“CurT” (current/time duplex), and you are using the  
recorder in a heat/cool application, I MIN or I RPM is  
used for heat control. Cooling control would use I2 MIN  
or I2 RPM described later in this table.  
–100 to +100 (in % output)  
[factory setting = 0]  
MANUAL RESET—This parameter is only applicable if  
control group parameter “CTRALG” is “PDMR”  
(PD with manual reset). Because a proportional recorder  
will not necessarily line out at setpoint, there will be a  
deviation (offset) from setpoint. This reset value can be  
used to eliminate the offset and lets the PV line out at  
setpoint. The controller output is the computed output  
plus the value of MANRST.

Introduction  
The timer option allows you to configure a timeout period and to select the timer start by either the  
keyboard (Increment or Decrement key) or Alarm 1. The optional digital input can also be configured to  
the start the timer. The timer display is selectable as either “time remaining” or “elapsed time”.  
Alarm 2 is activated at the end of the timeout period. When the timer is enabled, it has exclusive control of  
the Alarm 2 relay; any previous Alarm 2 configuration is ignored. At timeout, the timer is ready to be  
activated again by whatever action has been configured. Relay 2 will remain energized until the timer is  
reset.  
See Subsection 4.5.2.7 for operation of timer.

4.3.15 Alarms Set Up Group  
Introduction  
If the recorder hardware supports outputs, one or both relays can be used for alarming. An alarm is an  
indication that an event that you have selected during configuration (process variable, for example) has  
exceeded one or more alarm limits. There are two alarms available for each pen (assuming no relay is  
being used for control). Each alarm has two setpoints. There are two alarm output selections, high and low.  
You can configure each setpoint to alarm either high or low. Each alarm has an adjustable hysteresis of 0.0  
% to 100.0 % that is configurable for that alarm's setpoint.  
If the “OUTALG” function in the control group is set to “RLYD”, both relays on the printed circuit  
assembly for the pen being configured are used for control, and the prompts in the alarm group will not be  
displayed. If “OUTALG” is “RLY”, or if the recorder is a limit controller, then Relay 1 is used for control.  
In these cases only the prompts for the second alarm (Relay 2) will be displayed.  
If “TIMER” is set to “ENAB”, then Relay 2 is used by the timer and prompts for the second alarm will not  
be displayed.

4.4 Startup of Recorder with Display and Keypad  
4.4.1 Overview  
Introduction  
This subsection provides procedures and reference information for startup and operation of a recorder  
having a display and keypad. (For information on operating a recorder that does not have a display and  
keypad, see Section 3.) This subsection assumes that the recorder has been properly prepared, mounted,  
and wired in accordance with the instructions in Section 2, and configured as described earlier in this  
section.  
Some of the procedures in this subsection are required only initially; some are required during use. Once  
the recorder is up and running, operator actions are required infrequently.  
!
WARNING—SHOCK HAZARD  
STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE MAY REQUIRE ACCESS TO HAZARDOUS  
LIVE CIRCUITS, AND SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED  
SERVICE PERSONNEL. MORE THAN ONE SWITCH MAY BE REQUIRED  
TO DE-ENERGIZE UNIT BEFORE SERVICING.

4.4.2 Preparing the Recorder for Startup  
Introduction  
Before applying power to the recorder, complete these preparation tasks.  
ATTENTION  
Never move the pen arms when the unit is operating unless adjusting the pen alignment as  
described in Section 8.  
WARNING  
SHOCK HAZARD  
When the unit is powered a potentially lethal shock hazard exists at the AC line connections at TB1 on  
each printed circuit assembly (behing the chart plate). Make sure the unit power is disconnected before  
starting the procedure. More than one switch may be required to de-energize the recorder.  
Failure to observe this precaution can result in exposure to a potentially lethal shock hazard.  
Procedure  
Refer to Figure 4-4 to identify the basic chart plate components and follow the procedure in Table 4-20 to  
prepare the recorder for operation.  
Table 4-20 Preparing the Recorder for Operation

4.4.3 Running the Optional Step Test  
Introduction  
You can test the recorder’s mechanical operation by running a step test. This test is initiated using the  
keypad as described in Table 4-21.  
This test prints a step pattern, which is independent of any chart settings, with horizontal lines drawn by  
both pens at each 10 % increment on the chart (see Figure 4-5).  
WARNING  
SHOCK HAZARD  
When the unit is powered a potentially lethal shock hazard exists at the AC line connections at TB1 on  
each printed circuit assembly (behing the chart plate). Make sure the unit power is disconnected before  
starting the procedure. More than one switch may be required to de-energize the recorder.  
Failure to observe this precaution can result in exposure to a potentially lethal shock hazard.  
The test will run for one complete revolution of the chart before it stops itself. The chart revolution for the  
test takes approximately 2 minutes, regardless of configured chart speed. However, the test can be  
terminated at any time by pressing the DISP key.  
Additional automatic self-tests  
At power-up the recorder runs self-diagnostics on the printed circuit assembly for each pen. See Section  
4.5.1.4 and Section 8 – Troubleshooting and Pen Alignment of Recorder with Display for more information  
about these diagnostic tests.  
Procedure  
Use the procedure in Table 4-21 to run the step test.  
Table 4-21 Procedure for Running the Step Test  
Step

Press  
Action/Result  
Make sure the cap is removed from the tip of each pen and the chart is  
installed. (If you plan to store or ship the recorder, save the protective caps  
for the pen tips. Replace them if the recorder is taken out of operation.)  
2
Being careful of the shock hazard at TB1, swing out the chart plate and  
set SW5 on the printed circuit assembly on the right (pen 1) to the setup  
position, toward the top of the board.  
Be certain that the Lockout level is "CAL" or "NONE". The self-test will not  
run otherwise.

4.4.4.3 Diagnostic tests  
Tests run automatically  
When the recorder is powered-up, self-diagnostics are run by the software.  
As the tests in Table 4-23 are run, the display indicates whether the tests were passed or failed as described  
below.

Status of tests displayed  
As the tests are run, the lower line of the display shows which test is running. The upper line of the display  
indicates the status. If any of these tests fail, “FAIL” appears momentarily in the upper display, then a  
display test is run. The display changes to show the value of the process variable on the top line, and the  
error message for the failed test on the second line.  
In addition, if the control group parameter “CONTRL” has a value of “ENAB” when the test is failed, the  
message “FAILSF” (failsafe) will alternate with error message for the test, and the controller will be in  
manual mode. When the “FAILSF” message is displayed, it indicates that the recorder control output has  
been driven to the value assigned to the control group “FAILSF” parameter.  
By default, when the recorder is powered up the display will be for pen 1. Therefore, when the power up  
tests run, the “PASS” and “FAIL” messages will apply only to the printed circuit assembly associated with  
pen 1. However, in a 2-pen recorder the tests will also be run on the printed circuit assembly for pen 2. If  
the pen 2 assembly fails one of the tests, the message “P2 ERR” will be displayed, along with any error  
messages from the pen 1 tests.  
Section 8 contains additional information about self-diagnostics, and suggested remedies if a problem is  
detected.

4.5 Operation of Recorder with Display and Keypad  
4.5.1 Monitoring Your Recorder  
4.5.1.1 Overview  
Introduction  
In addition to the historical chart record, you can monitor the recorder’s indicators and displays to see real  
time values of inputs. If control is enabled, then setpoint, output, and deviation values can also be  
displayed.  
Set up values can also be viewed. Depending on the lockout status, configuration values may also be  
changed.  
As a background task the recorder runs self-diagnostics on the printed circuit assemblies for the pens as  
described in Section 8 – Troubleshooting and Pen Alignment of Recorder with Display. If a test is failed,  
an error message will be displayed as described in Subsection 4.5.1.4. Depending on the recorder’s  
configuration, a “failsafe” output value may be used for control in case of malfunction, as described in  
Section 8.  
4.5.1.2 Operator interface

4.5.1.3 Viewing the operating parameters  
Contents of display  
The upper display uses four characters to display the value of the input. During normal operation, you can  
view various real time values and setpoints in the lower six-character display if the recorder supports  
control. Each value will be labeled. Press the DISP key to scroll through the displayed values listed in  
Table 4-27. If the recorder does not support control, then only the label “INP” or the totalizer value will  
appear in the lower display. (The input value will be in the upper display.)  
The display shows only those parameters and values that apply to your specific model and the way in  
which it was configured. For recorders with two pens, remember that any controller-related values  
displayed correspond with the lighted INP indicator. “1” means that the values apply to the pen 1 input  
channel and “2” means that the values apply to the pen 2 input channel. Press FUNC key to toggle  
between input 1 and input 2.

4.5.2.2 Changing Control Mode and Adjusting Output Manually  
Available modes  
The recorder can operate in one of two modes.  
Manual: When switched to manual mode, the recorder holds its output at the last value used during  
automatic operation and stops adjusting the output for changes in process variable. In manual, the  
operator uses the keypad to adjust the output by changing the value shown in the upper display.  
If the switch to manual is the result of an input failure sending the channel to failsafe operation, the  
output value displayed when the controller first switches to manual will be the value of the “FAILSF”  
parameter in the control set up group. This “FAILSF” value is expressed as a percentage. The output  
can be any value between 0 % and 100 %.  
Automatic with Local Setpoint: In automatic local mode, the recorder uses the local setpoint and  
automatically adjusts the output to maintain the setpoint at the desired value. In this mode you can  
adjust the setpoint as described in Subsection 4.5.2.3.  
Procedure for selecting manual or automatic mode

4.5.2.4 Viewing and Changing Alarm Setpoints  
Introduction  
If the recorder hardware supports outputs, one or both relays can be used for alarming. An alarm is an  
indication that an event specified during configuration (process variable, for example) has exceeded one or  
more alarm limits. There are two alarms available for each pen (assuming no relay is being used for  
control). Each alarm has two setpoints. There are two alarm output selections, high and low. During  
configuration, each alarm setpoint is configured to alarm either high or low.  
The alarm setpoints can be changed by the operator if the alarm parameters are not locked (see Subsection  
4.3.19). If a recorder output is being used for control, that output is not available as an alarm and  
the prompts will not appear.

4.5.2.5 Selecting Factory or Field Calibration Values  
Introduction  
Recorders are calibrated at the factory. The calibration values for each pen channel are stored on the  
printed circuit assembly associated with the pen. In addition, provision is made for the storage of field  
calibration values. The procedure for calibrating an input is provided in Section 5 – Input and Output  
Calibration for Recorder with Display. Entering field calibration values does not affect the stored factory  
calibration.  
The “LD CAL” parameter in the input set up group for each pen channel permits you to specify whether  
factory or field calibration values are to be used by the recorder.  
Procedure  
Follow the procedure in Table 4-32 to select factory or field calibration values.  
ATTENTION  
If you change the type of input used by the recorder, you must change the setting of the “IN TYP”  
parameter in the input set up group (see Subsection 4.3.7). Changing the input type also requires  
changing the settings of hardware switches at SW6 (see Subsection 4.3.5.2).

4.5.2.6 Resetting the Totalizer  
Introduction  
The models having a display and keypad are available with an optional totalizer to calculate and display the  
total flow volume as measured by the pen channel’s input. The displayed value is six digits with a  
configurable scale factor. The scale factor is displayed as “En”, where n is 10n. For example:  
If the display reads “189 E0”, then the totalized value since last reset is 189 x 100 or 189.  
If the display reads “189 E3”, then the totalized value since last reset is 189 x 103 or 189,000.  
If the display reads “189” E8”, then the totalized value since the last reset is 189 x 108 or  
18,900,000,000.  
The value of the totalizer set up group parameter “RSTABL” (resettable) determines whether and how the  
totalizer can be reset. If RSTABL = KEY, then the totalizer can be reset using the procedure in  
Table 4-33. If RSTABL is set to REM1 or REM2, the totalizer will be reset by Digital Input 1 or Digital  
Input 2, respectively.  
Reset procedure  
Follow the procedure in Table 4-33 to reset the totalizer (return value to 0).

4.5.2.7 Starting the Timer  
Introduction  
The DR4300 is available with an optional timer. This timer can be configured to be started by Alarm 1 or  
the keypad. (If the recorder supports digital inputs, one can be used to trigger the timer. This remote  
switch is independent of whether the timer is configured to start with the alarm or the keypad.)  
Once the timer has been started, it cannot be stopped with the Increment and Decrement keys (see Step 3  
below).  
At the end of timer period Relay 2 will be energized, and remain energized until the timer is reset.  
If the timer set up group parameter START = KEY, then restarting the timer will involve pushing the  
Increment or Decrement key twice while the timer is displayed: once to reset the timer and de-  
energize Relay 2, and the second to start the timer.  
If the timer set up group START = AL1, then when Alarm 1 toggles (goes inactive, then active again)  
the timer is reset and restarted. When the timer is configured to start via Alarm 1, the timer can be  
reset (but not restarted) with the Increment or Decrement key. If the Alarm 1 relay is still energized  
when you reset the timer with the key, then the timer will be restarted immediately.

4.5.2.8 Resetting the Limit Controller  
Introduction  
The DR4300 is available as a limit controller. On each pen channel’s printed circuit assembly Relay 1 is  
used for limit control. When the recorder detects that the input has exceeded the limit (or fallen below the  
limit, depending on how the unit is configured) the controller goes to the limit state: Relay 1 is  
de-energized.  
Limit controller operator interface  
The operator interface on a limit controller is the same as that of other models having a display and keypad.  
The MAN/AUTO/RESET key functions as a reset only. Manual and Auto mode do not apply to the limit  
controller.  
When the recorder’s controller goes to the limit state (relay de-energized), the operator will be alerted to  
the limit state by a message on the bottom line of the display.  
If the input that triggered the limit state is on the pen channel being displayed, the message will be  
“LIMIT”.  
If the input that triggered the limit state is on the other pen channel, the message will be “Pn ERR”  
(where n is the limit state’s pen channel). Pressing the “FUNC” key to switch channels will display  
the “LIMIT” message.  
Reset procedure  
Follow the procedure in Table 4-35 to reset the limit controller (take it out of the limit state).

Input and Output Calibration for Recorder with Display  
5. Input and Output Calibration for Recorder with Display  
5.1 Overview  
Introduction  
This section explains how to field calibrate analog inputs, as well as a 4 to 20 mA current output for a model  
having a display and keypad.  
Because the recorder stores both factory and field calibration values for inputs in memory, you can easily  
select either factory or field calibration values for use by the recorder using the procedure given in  
Subsection 4.5.2.5.  
To calibrate an input:  
Determine the minimum and maximum range values to be used for calibration (see Subsection 5.2).  
Set up and wire the input for calibration (see Subsection 5.4).  
Use the parameters in the calibration set up group to store field calibration values in the recorder’s  
memory (see Subsection 5.5).  
What’s in this section?  
The following is a list of the topics covered in this section.

5
If the recorder is used in a dusty atmosphere, provide a positive ‘clean air purge’ to minimize  
dust particle accumulation on the chart paper.  
Periodically clean the pen arm using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. This is more important  
when the recorder is located in a dusty environment and no ‘clean air purge’ is used.  
Never let the pen tip ride on the chart plate when the paper is not present. Use the pen lifter to  
raise the arm when changing the paper.  
Keep the door closed while recording.

Always cover the pen arm tip with its protective cap when storing or shipping the recorder.  
Be sure that the chart paper lays flat against the chart plate. Any ripple in the paper will cause  
light pen printing.  
Be sure the chart hub assembly is pushed onto the motor shaft so that it is flush with the chart  
plate.

Troubleshooting and Pen Alignment  
of Recorder without Display  
7.4 Alignment of Pen at Zero and 100 %  
Procedure  
You can align the pens to the zero and 100 % positions on the chart using the procedure in Table 7-6.  
If humidity causes the chart to change size, repeat the procedure as needed.  
WARNING  
SHOCK HAZARD  
When the unit is powered a potentially lethal shock hazard exists at the AC line connections at TB1 on  
each printed circuit assembly (behing the chart plate). Make sure the unit power is disconnected before  
starting the procedure. More than one switch may be required to de-energize the recorder.  
Failure to observe this precaution can result in exposure to a potentially lethal shock hazard.  
Table 7-6 Procedure for Pen Alignment  
Step  
1
Action  
Graphic  
Place run switch SW5 to the setup position (toward the top of  
the board) on the pen’s PCA.  
See Figure 3-1 for location of SW5 (to  
the right of TB1).  
Press SW3 and SW4 simultaneously and release them.  
See Figure 3-1 for location of SW3 and  
SW4.

The pen will move downscale toward the hub and be  
positioned at the previously set 0 % point on the chart within  
approximately 10 seconds.  
If the pen tip is greatly out of position, follow Steps 3 through 7. (Unless a pen arm has been replaced, this  
probably will not be necessary.) If pen position requires only minor adjustment, go to Step 8.  
Turn off the power to the recorder before the pen begins to  
move upscale (approximately 10 seconds).  
3
To place the pen tips in approximately the correct position,  
loosen the screw holding the pen 1 arm to the servo shaft  
and move the pen arm to access the locking screw for the  
pen 2 arm (if applicable).  
4
Align the tip of pen 2 with the zero line on the chart and  
tighten the locking screw.

Troubleshooting and Pen Alignment  
of Recorder with Display  
8. Troubleshooting and Pen Alignment  
of Recorder with Display  
8.1 Overview  
Introduction  
This section explains how to troubleshoot the recorder models having display and keypad. Troubleshooting  
uses self-diagnostic test results and error messages as well as some observable symptoms of failure.  
To reduce recorder down-time, this section enables tracing trouble to a printed circuit assembly  
(PCA)/hardware assembly level rather than to an individual component.  
While troubleshooting is straightforward, we recommend that only trained service technicians repair  
the recorder. SEE THE SHOCK HAZARD WARNING BELOW.  
This section also includes instructions for aligning the pens

Types of problems  
Instrument performance can be adversely affected by installation and application problems as well as by  
hardware problems. We recommend that you investigate the problems in the order listed below, and use the  
information in this section to solve them. If replacement of any part is required, follow the procedures in  
Section 9 – Replacing Hardware Assemblies.  
Installation related problems  
Application related problems  
Hardware and software related problems  
Installation related problems  
Read Section 2 – Installation to make sure the recorder has been properly installed. Document 51-52-05-01  
How to Apply Digital Instrumentation in Severe Electrical Noise Environments can provide additional  
relevant information.  
ATTENTION  
System noise induced into the recorder will result in diagnostic error messages recurring.  
If the diagnostic error messages can be cleared, it indicates a “soft” failure and is probably noise  
related.  
If system noise is suspected, completely isolate the recorder from all field wiring. Use calibration  
sources to simulate PV and check all recorder and control functions; that is, pen functions, chart  
trace, output, alarms, etc.  
Application related problems  
Review the application of the recorder; then, if necessary, direct your questions to the local sales office.  
Hardware and software related problems  
Use the troubleshooting error messages and observable symptoms to identify typical failures which may  
occur in the recorder. Follow the troubleshooting procedures to correct the problems.

of Recorder with Display  
8.2 Troubleshooting Aids  
Self diagnostics  
The software runs self-diagnostic tests to monitor the recorder’s general state. Tests are run when the unit  
is powered up and as a background task during operation.  
When tests run at power-up, the progress of the tests will be displayed as described in Subsection 8.3.1.  
When the tests run in the background during normal operation, the display will not indicate the progress of  
the tests. However, if the recorder fails a test, an error message will appear on the lower line of the display  
as described in Subsection 8.3.4. Table 8-4 lists all the possible error messages, the reason for each, and  
how to correct the problem.  
Observable symptoms of failure  
Other failures may occur that deal with the power, pen functions, chart rotation, output, or alarms. If erratic  
operation is observed, refer to the failure symptoms in Table 8-5, then follow the appropriate  
troubleshooting procedure in Subsection 8.5.  
Check Installation  
If a set of symptoms still persists, refer to Section 2 – Installation and Section 4 – Configuration, Startup,  
and Operation of Recorder with Display to ensure that the recorder has been installed and set up properly.  
Determine the software version before calling for technical support  
Before calling for technical support, follow the procedure in Table 8-1 to determine the version of the  
software in the recorder. This version information will assist the support team in diagnosing the problem.

8.3 Self Diagnostics  
8.3.1 Power up tests  
Tests run automatically  
When the recorder is powered-up, self-diagnostics are run by the software.  
As the tests in Table 8-2 are run, the display indicates whether the tests were passed or failed as described  
below.  
Table 8-2 Power-Up Diagnostic Tests  
Lower Display  
Upper Display  
PASS or FAIL  
PASS or FAIL  
PASS or FAIL  
RAMTST  
CFGTST (configuration checksum)

Status of tests displayed  
As the tests are run, the lower line of the display shows which test is running. The upper line of the display  
indicates the status. If any of these tests fail, “FAIL” appears momentarily in the upper display, then a  
display test is run. The display changes to show the value of the process variable on the top line, and the  
error message for the failed test on the second line.  
In addition, if the control group parameter “CONTRL” has a value of “ENAB” when the test is failed, the  
message “FAILSF” (failsafe) will alternate with error message for the test, and the controller will be in  
manual mode. When the “FAILSF” message is displayed, it indicates that the recorder control output has  
been driven to the value assigned to the control group “FAILSF” parameter.  
By default, when the recorder is powered up the display will be for pen 1. Therefore, when the power up  
tests run, the “PASS” and “FAIL” messages will apply only to the printed circuit assembly associated with  
pen 1. However, in a 2-pen recorder the tests will also be run on the printed circuit assembly for pen 2. If  
the pen 2 assembly fails one of the tests, the message “P2 ERR” will be displayed, along with any error  
messages from the pen 1 tests.

8.3.2 View Status of Tests  
Procedure  
The status of self-diagnostic tests can be viewed using the procedure in Table 8-3.  
Note that “FAILSF” is not a test. When “FAILSF YES” is displayed, it is an indication that the recorder is  
using the value of the control set up group “FAILSF” parameter as the output value because the recorder  
failed a self-test, or because the recorder detected an input failure while the input set up parameter  
“BRNOUT” = “NONE”.

8.3.3 Background Tests  
Tests run automatically  
During normal operation of the recorder, tests of the configuration and calibration run in the background. If  
the recorder fails one of the tests, the appropriate message will be displayed as described in Subsection  
8.3.4 Error Messages  
All relevant messages are displayed  
If the recorder fails one or more tests, the operator is alerted by the display of one or more messages.One  
message is displayed at a time on the lower line of the display.  
If the problem is with the pen channel input or printed circuit assembly for which real time values are  
currently on display, the appropriate error message for each failed test will be displayed. The display will  
continue to cycle through the messages until the test is passed.  
If the failure is for the pen channel not on display, then a message will alert the operator to the existence of  
one or more error messages for the other pen. The message is “Pn ERR”, where n is the number of the pen  
with errors not on display. Once the operator has toggled the display to the pen channel whose input or  
printed circuit assembly was the source of the error, the display will cycle through the appropriate error  
messages.  
Error messages are listed in Table 8-4, along with the type of test to which each applies, the reason for the  
failure, and how to correct the problem.  
ATTENTION  
In addition to error messages, the recorder will display special status messages when optional features  
are active.  
If the lower display flashes “TUNING”, the recorder is in the process of automatically determining  
tuning parameters using the Accutune II feature described in Appendix D.  
If the lower display flashes “RUN n” or “HOLD”, the recorder is executing setpoint program “n” as  
described in Appendix C, and the run or hold action was initiated locally.  
If the lower display flashes “run n” or “hold”, the recorder is executing setpoint program “n”, and  
the run or hold action was initiated remotely.  
If you are familiar with the operation of the recorder models without display, you are aware that in those models the  
red LED on the printed circuit assembly lights when the unit fails a self-diagnostic, or detects an out-of-range input.  
The red LED has a different function in the models with display and keypad. It is not an indication of a  
problem. In the models with display the red LED indicates that the display is currently interfacing with this PCA.  
Rely on the error messages to notify you of a problem with a recorder with a display. (The flashing green LED is an  
indication that the processor is active.)

8.6 Alignment of Pen at Zero and Span  
Introduction  
If the pen trace does not track at the correct chart increment with a known input value, you can use the  
following procedure to adjust the pen travel at zero and span (full scale) to compensate for the effects of  
humidity on the chart size.  
If the recorder has 2 pens, be sure Input1 (INP 1) is on the display. If it is not on display, press FUNC  
key to toggle input for display.  
Procedure  
Follow the procedure in Table 8-15 to align the pens.

Appendix A - Accuracy  
A.Accuracy  
A.1 Overview  
Reference accuracy  
The reference accuracy varies according to the type of input actuation.  
Typical reference accuracy for each type of input is supplied in Subsection A.2.  
Factory accuracy may be improved by performing an input calibration (field calibration) as described  
in Section 5 (Field calibration requires model with display). The field-calibrated reference accuracy  
for each type of input actuation is also supplied in Subsection A.2. The figures include reference  
junction calibration of ± 0.01 degrees using the standard “ice bath” method of calibration.

Appendix C - Setpoint Ramp/Soak  
Programming and Operation  
C.Setpoint Ramp/Soak Programming and Operation  
C.1 Overview  
Introduction  
As an option, the recorder can support the programming and execution of a setpoint program (profile). A  
total of twenty-four program segments are available, twelve ramp and twelve soak segments. In a ramp  
segment the setpoint value is changed as specified during configuration. The ramp is configured in terms  
of ramp time or ramp rate, depending on how you have configured the RPUNIT (ramp unit) parameter.  
During a soak segment the setpoint is held at the specified value.  
Odd-numbered segments are always ramp segments. Even-numbered segments are always soaks. These  
ramp and soak segments can be used in up to four programs. You designate the beginning and end  
segments to determine where the program will start or stop.  
Every program must start with a ramp segment and end on a soak segment.  
Recorder must be set to use SP1 (setpoint 1)  
Only contiguous segments can be used by a program.  
There can be overlap between programs. For example, Program 1 could use Segments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,  
and 6. Program 2 could be configured to begin with Segment 5 and end with Segment 8.  
This appendix contains instructions for setting up a setpoint program, and for executing the program at  
runtime.  
Note that Section 4 contains instructions for using the single setpoint ramp supported by all DR4300  
models. The SPRAMP (single setpoint ramp) parameter described in Section 4 must be set to DIS  
(disabled) if a setpoint program is to be used.  
ATTENTION  
If power is lost during execution of a program, upon power-up the recorder will use the last  
setpoint value prior to the beginning of the setpoint program. The program is placed in hold at the  
beginning. The Manual/Auto mode will be as configured under “PWR UP” in the “CONTROL”  
group.

C.2 Program Contents  
What you will configure  
You will configure all the data that is relevant to each ramp and soak segment for a given setpoint versus  
time program (profile). The recorder will prompt you through the sequence of segments and associated  
functions. All prompts are listed, in sequence, in Table C-1.  
Ramp unit  
The ramp unit selection determines the engineering units for the ramp segments.  
The selections are:  
TIME = Hours:Minutes  
EU-H = Degrees/Hour OR EU-M = Degrees/Minute  
Recycle number  
The recycle number allows the program to recycle a specified number of times from beginning to end.  
Range = 0 to 99  
Program state  
The program state selection determines the program state after completion.  
The selections are:  
DIS = program is disabled  
HOLD = program on hold  
Ramp time or rate segments  
A ramp segment is used to change the setpoint to the next soak setpoint value in the program.  
Ramps are odd-numbered segments. Segment 1 will be the initial ramp.  
Ramps are specifed in terms of either:  
TIME* - Hours:Minutes  
or  
Range = 0-99 hr:59 min  
EU-M* - Degrees/Minute  
EU-H* - Degrees/Hour  
Range = 0 to 999  
* The selection of time or rate is made at prompt “RP UNIT”.  
Set this prompt before entering any Ramp information.  
ATTENTION  
Entering “0” will imply an immediate step change in setpoint to the next soak.

Appendix C - Setpoint Ramp/Soak  
Programming and Operation  
Soak segments  
A soak segment is a combination of soak setpoint (value) and a soak duration (time).  
Soaks are even-numbered segments.  
Segment 2 will be the initial soak value and soak time.  
The soak setpoint range value must be within the setpoint high and low range limits in engineering  
units. (Specify the setpoint range with SP HI and SP LO in the control group as described in Section  
4.)  
Soak time is the duration of the soak and is determined in:  
TIME - Hours:Minutes  
Range = 0-99 hrs:59 min.  
At the conclusion of program execution, the recorder will use the setpoint achieved during the last  
soak segment.  
Start segment number for each program  
The start segment number designates the number of the first segment.  
Range = 1 to 23 (odd-numbered segments only)  
End segment number for each program  
The end segment number designates the number of the last segment, it must be a soak segment (even-  
numbered).  
Range = 2 to 24 (even-numbered segments only)  
Guaranteed soak  
A SOKDEV (soak deviation) parameter is provided. If its value is not zero, then soaking will be frozen for  
each segment until the difference (plus or minus) between PV and SP is less than or equal to the value of  
SOKDEV.  
There are no guaranteed soaks whenever SOKDEV = 0. In this case, soak segments start timing soak  
duration as soon as the soak setpoint is first reached, regardless of where the process variable remains  
relative to the soak setpoint during the duration of the segment.  
The decimal location corresponds to input 1 decimal selection.  
Digital input (remote) operation  
Program can be placed in RUN or HOLD state through a remote dry contact connected to optional digital  
input terminals. The REMSW1 and REMSW2 parameters mus be configured to support this function. The  
valid values for those parameters are:  
RUN—contact closure places program in RUN state, and lower display will flash “run n”  
HOLD—contact closure places program in HOLD state, and lower display will flash “hold”  
Opening contact reverts to original state.

Appendix D - Using Accutune II  
D.Using Accutune II  
D.1 Overview  
Introduction  
Accutune II provides foolproof, trouble-free on-demand tuning in the recorder. No knowledge of the  
process is required at start-up. The operator simply enters the desired setpoint and initiates the tuning. The  
recorder immediately starts controlling to the setpoint while it identifies the process, calculates the tuning  
constants and enters them into the tuning set up group, and begins PID control with the correct tuning  
parameters. This works with any process, including integrating type processes, and allows retuning at a  
fixed setpoint. The tuning sequence will cycle the recorder’s output two full cycles between 0 % and 100  
% (or low and high output limits) while allowing only a very small process variable change above and  
below the setpoint during each cycle.  
Accutune works for all control algorithms except ON/OFF.  
The recorder must be in Auto mode.  
Accutune works for integrating processes.  
Enable/disable Accutune using the tuning set up group TUNE parameter described in Section 4.  
Detailed instructions for using Accutune are provided in this appendix.

D.2 Starting and Stopping Tuning with Accutune II  
Procedure  
After “TUNE” has been enabled in the tuning set up group as described in Section 4, use the procedure in  
Table D-1 to start tuning.  
To abort tuning in progress, press the MAN/AUTO/RESET key to take the recorder out of Auto mode.  
The message “AbRT” (abort) will be displayed as the value of tuning set up group parameter “AT ERR”.  
The tuning parameters will retain the values they had at the start of the Accutune operation.

Appendix D - Using Accutune II  
D.3 Using Accutune with Duplex (Heat/Cool) Control  
Introduction  
“TUNE” can be done for applications using Duplex (Heat/Cool) control.  
During tuning, Accutune II assumes SP 1 will cause a Heating demand, and then the calculated tuning  
parameters will be automatically entered as the first set of PID constants. Likewise, it assumes tuning at  
Local SP 2 will cause a Cooling demand, and the cooling parameters will be entered as the second set of  
PID constants.  
Procedure  
After “TUNE” has been enabled in the tuning set up group as described in Section 4, use the procedure in  
Table D-2 to start tuning. Note that control group parameter “NumSPs” must be set to “TWO” to enable  
the second setpoint.  
To abort tuning in progress, press the MAN/AUTO/RESET key to take the recorder out of Auto mode.  
The message “AbRT” (abort) will be displayed as the value of tuning set up group parameter “AT ERR”.  
The tuning parameters will retain the values they had at the start of the Accutune operation.
