Part No.
: B9850NX
Specification
: Thermo-sensible, 30 m
Minimum quantity : 5 rolls
Handling the Roll Chart
Thermo-sensible roll charts generate color using a thermal reaction, therefore the following
precautions must be taken.
Storage precautions
The roll chart begins to develop color at approximately 70
°
C. It is very sensitive to heat,
damp, light and chemicals both before and after use.
• Keep roll charts in a dry, cool and dark place.
• Once the package is opened, use the roll chart as soon as possible.
• If the roll chart is left in contact with plastic films containing plasticizer (for instance,
vinyl chloride film, cellophane tape etc.) for a long period of time, discoloration will
occur on the recording area of the chart due to the plasticizer. If you are going to keep the
roll chart in a holder, for instance, use a polypropylene holder.
• When you use adhesive on the roll chart, never use adhesive which contains an organic
solvent such as alcohol or ether, otherwise color may develop on the chart.
• When you are going to store recorded roll charts for a long period of time, we suggest
you make a copy of the charts since discoloration of the originals may occur.
Usage precautions
• Use only YOKOGAWA’s genuine roll charts.
• Do not touch the roll chart with sweaty hands.
• Do not rub the surface of the roll chart hard with a solid object: color development may
occur due to frictional heat.
• Do not allow chemicals or oil to come into contact with the roll chart, otherwise color
development or loss of information may result.
• The chart paper might show some discoloration due to friction after the instrument is
moved with the roll paper installed. Therefore it is recommended to remove and re-install
the chart paper before moving.
