Handling the Roll Chart
Thermosensible roll charts produce 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 may occur.
Usage precautions
• Use only YOKOGAWA’s genuine roll charts.
• Do not touch the roll chart with sweaty hands, otherwise it may become stained with your
fingerprints, and information may be lost.
• Do not rub the surface of the roll chart strongly with a firm 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.
