Recorder Calibration:
If calibration is required for single input recorders, use the Left (#1) and Right (#2)
arrow buttons on the recorder to calibrate the temperature being recorded on the chart
to correspond to the temperature of the solution. The arrow buttons must be held for
approximately eight (8) seconds before the pen begins to move.
If calibration is required for dual input recorders, you must first select the input that you
wish to calibrate. This is done by pressing and holding the Left (#1) arrow button to
select Input #1 or the Right (#2) arrow button to select Input #2. The arrow button must
be held down until the green LED light turns off, after which follow the instructions in
single input instructions above.
Maximizing Pen Life:
In order to maximize the amount of life expected out of the thermal pen tip, follow these
simple rules:
1) Never let the thermal pen tip ride on the chart plate when the chart paper is not
present. This will damage the protective coating of the heating element.
2) Never use chart paper that is creased or that has been folded.
3) Periodically clean the thermal pen tip with a cotton swap dipped in alcohol. Clean
more often when operating the recorder in a dusty environment.
4) Always keep the door closed while the unit is recording.
5) Never lift the pen arm more than is necessary to remove and replace the chart
paper. Excessive lifting may cause a decrease in the pen tip pressure and cause light
printing.
