Safety Notes and Precautions

1. The protective earth terminal should be connected first before any other connection
is made. To avoid making the recorder dangerous under fault conditions, any
interruption of the protective Earth conductor inside or outside the recorder is
prohibited. Even in the case of a portable unit, the protective earth terminal must
remain connected if the recorder is connected to any hazardous voltage.

2. Keep signal and supply voltage wiring separated from one another. If this is
impractical, use shielded cables for signal wiring. Double insulation should be used
for signal wiring when the recorder is being used with hazardous voltage.

3. Do not use the recorder where there is high vibration, or high magnetic field, this
could cause damage or error of measurement.

4. All maintenance or repairs should be carried out with power disconnected, to avoid
personal injury, or damage to the unit.

6
5. In areas with conductive pollution, adequate ventilation, filtering and sealing need
to be installed.

6. When cleaning the recorder, handle carefully and use soft dry cloth. Avoid the use of
abrasives or any sharp and hard objects, which would damage the display.

7. Do not operate the recorder if any part has been removed or disassembled. Consult
your nearest dealer at once.

Static Electricity

Appropriate precautions must be taken when handling the recorder. The circuit
board, components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge.
Take static electricity precautions whilst handling and inserting USB memory into the
recorder.

1.3 Expandable Input and Output cards

The recorder is equipped with rear expansion slots, which work flexibly with the
following plug & play I/O cards.

Analog Input cards (part number AI206 & AI203): These two cards are used for 6 & 3-
channel analog input. Each input is isolated from each other to avoid noise and to
ensure stable measurement.

Relay Output card (RO206): Each card includes 6 alarm relays. Contacts are rated 5
Amp/240 VAC

12
Digital Input card (DI206): Each card includes 6 channels. Logic Low: -5V minimum,
0.8V maximum, Logic High: 3.5V minimum, 24V maximum

Relay Output and Digital Input Card (RD233): Each Card includes 3-digital Inputs and
3-Relay Outputs. For Digital Inputs , Logic Low: -5V minimum, 0.8V maximum, Logic
High: -3.5V minimum, 24V maximum. For Relay Outputs , the Contacts are rated 5
Amp/240 VAC

Analog Output cards (AO206): Each card includes 6 channels. They are used for 4-
20mA, 0-20mA current output, 0-5V, 1-5V, 0-10VDC voltage output.

Note1 : The IO Cards should not be removed or Inserted to the PR when the Power
is ON. This should be carried out at Power OFF Condition only.

Note2 : For Thermocouple Inputs , 1 hour inputs warm up is neccessary for first
initial set up .

13
1.4 Communication

The standard communication interface is Ethernet with protocol IEEE 802.3 –


10/100 BaseT. other options are RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485.

1.5 External Storage media

We have got two types External storage Media, SD card and USB for the recorder. If
the recorder is used with 6-channel inputs, an easy chart to show the maximum days

SD card 16GB 32GB

Log speed

1 second 15808 days 31616 days

10 seconds 158032 days 316064 days

120 seconds 1896304 days 3792608 days

* The above is an approximation


Each record of data uses 2 bytes or 4 bytes of memory.

For ex: Selected data size = 2 bytes

If the Log Speed ( the recording speed of measured data ) is set to the fastest speed
at 1 second per data, then for a six channels, 16GB SD Card will last approximately
15808 days [= 16GB / ( 2 bytes x 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds x 6 Channels ].

The following formula is to calculate how many days the USB disk could do saving
before it is full.
The ? days = (The capacity of SD card memory x Log Speed) / ( 2 x no. of hours per
day x 60 x 60 x Number of channels )

If the User is using USB to store data, To avoid losing recorded data while
transferring to PC, it is necessary to insert USB memory back again into the
recorder soon after loading recorded data onto PC.

14
1.6 Smart Mechanism
The recorded data is stored in the manufacturer’s special binary format.It is not
possible to manipulate or modify the recorded data. This feature fully guarantees the
security of the data.

4.1.3.2 Math Eample-1

Relative Humidity – PR20 Math application

/*How to Calculate Relative Humidity - Theory

Requirement: Two Analog Inputs, Type: RTD


AI1: To measure dry bulb temperature
AI2: To measure wet bulb temperature

First calculate the saturation vapor pressure (E) for both the dry-bulb (Td) and wet-
bulb (Tw) temperatures using the following equations:

Ew = 0.61078*EXP((17.269*Tw)/(Tw+237.3))*(Td-Tw)
Ed = 0.61078*EXP((17.269*Td)/(Td+237.3))*(Td-Tw)

In the above equations the temperatures units are Celsius and the saturation vapor
pressure units are millibars. The function "EXP" is the exponential and not raising
something to an exponent.

Then calculate actual vapor pressure (Ea) using the following equation:
Ea = Ew-0.63*(Td-Tw)

Relative Humidity is then calculated using the following equation:


RH = (Ea/Ed)*100
The units of relative humidity are in percent.

Here is an example of the using the equations:

Assume that your dry-bulb temperature (Td) = 40 C and your wet-bulb temperature
(Tw) = 30 C.

Ew = 0.61078*EXP((17.269*Tw)/(Tw+237.3))*(Td-Tw)
Ew = 0.61078*EXP((17.269*30)/(30+237.3))*(40-30)
Ew = 42.4262 millibars

Ed = 0.61078*EXP((17.269*Td)/(Td +237.3))*(Td-Tw)
Ed = 0.61078*EXP((17.269 * 40)/(40+237.3))*(40-30)
Ed = 73.7416 millibars

Ea = Ew-0.63*(Td-Tw)
Ea = 42.4262 - 0.63*(40-30)
Ea = 36.1262 millibars

RH = (Ea/Ed)*100
RH = (36.1262/73.7416)*100
RH = 48.99 %

74
*/ End of Theory

5 Math channels are required to calculate one RH.


Td = AI1, analog input for dry bulb temperature (PT100)
Tw =AI2, analog input for wet bulb temperature (PT100)

Math1 = EXP((17.269*AI1)/(AI1+237.3))
Math2 = Ed1 = 0.61078*Math1*(AI1-AI2)

Math3 = EXP((17.269*AI2)/(AI2+237.3))
Math4 = Ew1 = 0.61078*Math3*(AI1-AI2)

Ea = Ew - 0.63 * (Td - Tw)


Math5= RH1 = ((Math4-0.63*(AI1-AI2))/Math2)*100

75
Now, in Math5, you will get Relative humidity in %

Five events are supported for every Math channel and two jobs are available in every
event same as Analog input channel.

equations. These values can be recorded similar to physically connected Analog
inputs and display digital values, trends, bar graphs etc.
