1.1 Preparing the Recorder for First Use
Prepare the recorder for first use as follows:
1. Install the recorder – see Section 4, page 60.
2. Connect the recorder – see Section 5, page 64.
3. Switch on the power supply to the recorder.
4. Fit the pen capsule(s) – see Fig. 1.1.
5. Fit a chart – see Fig. 1.2 on page 3.
Warning.
Ensure all connections are made correctly,
especially to the earth (ground) stud – see Section
5.4, page 71.
Note.
On power-up, the pen arm(s) is (are) moved to
an off-chart position for automatic referencing. Pen
chatter may occur on the pen(s) nearest the reference
position. This is a normal function of the recorder.
Note.
Ensure the correct colored capsule is fitted to
the appropriate pen arm. Each pen arm is
identified by a colored band – see Fig. 1.1.
If the violet, true-time line event option is fitted,
the pen records on the same time line as the red
pen, but on the outer edge of the chart.
