  • Avoid exposure to strong electromagnetic interference.
  • Ensure correct polarity when using DC power supply.
  • Do not use in explosive atmospheres unless separately certified.
  • Installation must comply with applicable electrical safety standards.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Dispose of electronic waste in accordance with WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU.

Note: The above warning information is for reference only. Final warning language must comply with the official language requirements of the destination EU country.

4. Setup

4.1. Preparation

  1. Ensure the supply voltage matches the rated voltage of the recorder (AC 100-240V, default AC 220V, or optional DC 24V/12V).
  2. Install the device into a suitable panel opening according to the specified dimensions (180 x 144 mm).
  3. Connect input signals to the appropriate terminals according to the selected signal type (Current, Voltage, Thermocouple, RTD).
  4. Connect communication cables (RS485, Ethernet RJ45, USB) if data transmission is required.
  5. Verify proper grounding before powering on the unit.

5. Operation

5.1. Basic Operation

  1. Switch on the power supply.
  2. Select the desired interface language (Chinese/English switchable).
  3. Configure each input channel by selecting the correct signal type and measurement range.
  4. Set the required recording interval (adjustable from 0.1 second to 240 seconds).
  5. Configure alarm thresholds and output parameters if the output function is enabled.

5.2. Data Reading and Export

  • Observe real-time measurement values and trend curves on the display.
  • Access historical data through the system menu.
  • Export recorded data via USB or through Ethernet or RS485 communication.
  • Use compatible supervisory software if integration into a control system is required.
