QUICK START 

1.

 

Remove the protective pen cap.   
 

2.

 

Connect Probe: Make sure the KTC probe is connected firmly to the Replaceable Sensor and that 

the Replaceable Sensor is plugged in firmly to the chart recorder.  

 

3.

 

Insert 4AA batteries and plug in AC adapter (See Figure 3).  Unit will power on. 

 

4.

 

The instrument will move pen to the appropriate readings. 

 

5.

 

Install the chart that matches the Dip Switch settings (See p.4). 

 
Press the PEN HOME key to move the pen to the outside of the chart.  The pen is automatically 
raised off the chart. 

 
Remove the old chart, place the new chart on the Chart Hub being certain that the edge of the 
chart slides under the Chart Guide Clip located at the outside of the chart. 

 

6.

 

Set the appropriate time.  There are two ways to adjust the chart and set the appropriate time: 

 

a.

 

Set the chart time manually by inserting a coin into the groove in the chart hub and 
turning clockwise until the correct hour (and day if applicable) on the chart is referenced 
to the timing arrow (just to the right of the pen tip on the dial).  Press Pen Home to move 
the pen(s) back onto the chart. 

 

The following feature should be used for fine adjustments only. 
 

b.

 

To adjust the chart time, press and hold Adjust-Up and Adjust-Down buttons located on 
the back of the unit next to the dip switch (see Figure 3). 

 

The green LED will blink rapidly for about five seconds, then the LED will remain solid 
green.  While in this state the Adjust-Up button will move the chart backward (counter 
clockwise) and the Adjust-Down button will move the chart forward (clockwise). 
 

Rotate the chart until the correct hour (and day if applicable) on the chart is referenced to 
the timing arrow.  Once you have set your chart, press the Pen Home button to exit Chart 
Adjust Mode.  The unit will take one minute to exit the Chart Adjust Mode once Pen 

Home is pressed.  Press Pen Home to move the pen(s) back onto the chart. 
 

c.

 

Place the KT6 recorder on a flat vibration-free surface.  Be sure it is in a vertical position 

and level.  For best performance and longevity, the location should be a clean 
environment, free from dust and corrosive fumes.  Do not exceed temperature 
specifications.  Wall Mount:  Keyhole slots are provided on the KT6 recorder for wall 
mounting.
