| 1. Why don't the readings of the temperature pen and display exactly match? |
Untitled Document
The cause of this could be because Hysteresis or wrong
chart
- Hysteresis is a naturally occurring mechanical discrepancy
up to 2% of range
- Check to see that the proper chart is installed
|

| 2. What if my instrument is not responding to a key press? |
- Try slower, firmer key presses.
- Maybe the unit is locked up. If the chart recorder is locked up there will be no response to button presses, however, the unit may appear to be working, but the readings won't change and the chart will not rotate. To correct this, remove ac and battery power then re-power.

- Probe should be dried out under normal ambient conditions
– time required varies on temperature, RH and air flow

| 8. How do I adjust the pens? |
- Pen adjust may be needed if the pen(s) and display do not
match.
- While the unit is on, press and hold both the Pen Home
button and the On/Off button (making sure to press the Pen Home button first
so the unit will not turn off). The led will blink rapidly between amber and
green for about five seconds, the LED will then turn green, release the Pen
Home and On/Off buttons. The led will flash amber and green for one second
and the led will turn off.
- One pen model: The red pen will move to the outer
edge of the chart and is ready to be adjusted. Use the Adjust-Up and Adjust-Down
buttons to move the pen to the maximum temperature line on the chart. Once
the pen is set, the Pen Home button will move the pen to reaffirm the new
pen position. Press the On/Off button to exit pen home adjust.
- Two pen models: Both pens will move to the outer
edge of the chart, and then the shorter red pen will move to the current position.
Use the Adjust-Up and Adjust-Down buttons to move the pen to the maximum temperature
line on the chart. Once the shorter red pen is set, the Pen Home button will
move the shorter red pen to the outer edge of the chart and the longer blue
pen will move to its current position. The Adjust-Up and Adjust-Down buttons
will adjust the longer blue pen position. Once the pen is set, the Pen Home
button will move the longer blue pen to the outer edge of the chart and the
shorter red pen will move to its new position. Each time pen home is pressed
the two pens will switch positions (moving the most recently adjusted position)
until the On/Off button is pressed to exit pen adjust mode.
- Note: Pressing the On/Off button will exit the
adjustment and return the unit to normal operation. Each time the pen home
or On/Off button is pressed, the adjustment currently in progress will be
stored. The unit will take one minute to exit Pen Adjust Mode once the On/Off
button is pressed.

|
| |
| 12. Why can't I get into calibration mode using the "on/off" and "adjust down" buttons? |
- Use the "on/off" and "adjust up" buttons if the "on/off" and "adjust down" buttons don't work.
