Connection Procedures.

Connect the AC Adapter

GRAPHTEC-GL840-M-Channel-Multi-Function-Logger-04Connect the DC output of the AC adapter to the connector marked as “DC LINE” on the GL840.

Connect the Grounding Cable

GRAPHTEC-GL840-M-Channel-Multi-Function-Logger-05

Use a flathead screwdriver to push the button above the GND terminal while connecting the ground cable to the GL840. Connect the other end of the cable to ground.

Connect to the Analog Input Terminals GRAPHTEC-GL840-M-Channel-Multi-
Function-Logger-06

CAUTION: Connect wires to the specified channel, the channel number is shown on top of the terminal block.

Connect the External Input/Output Cable

GRAPHTEC-GL840-M-Channel-Multi-Function-Logger-07

  • The B-513 input/output cable for GL (sold separately) is required for connecting input/output signals.(For logic/pulse input, alarm output, trigger input and external sampling pulse input)

Internal memory

  • The internal memory is displayed as SD1 or SD CARD1
  • The internal memory is not removable.

Mounting SD CARD 2

< How to mount >
  1. Open the protective cover to the SD CARD slot.
  2. Insert the SD memory card until it clicks and is firmly placed inside the slot.

< How to remove >

Warm-up
GL840 requires approximately 30 minutes warm-up time to deliver the optimum performance.

Unused channels
The analog input section can frequently have cases of impedance. Left open, measured value may fluctuate due to noise.
To rectify, set unused channels to “Off” in the AMP setting menu or short the

  • and –- terminals for better result.

Noise countermeasures
If measured values fluctuate due to extraneous noise, run the following countermeasures.(Results may vary according to types of noise issues.)

  • Ex 1 : Connect the GL840’s GND input to ground. GRAPHTEC-GL840-M-Channel-Multi-Function-Logger-14
  • Ex 2 : Connect GL840’s GND to measurement object’s GND.
  • Ex 3 : Operate GL840 with batteries (Option: two B-569 batteries).
  • Ex 4 : In the AMP settings menu, set filter to any setting other than “OFF”.
  • Ex 5: Set the sampling interval which enables GL840’s digital filter
    (see table below).

Number of Measuring Channels 1| Allowed Sampling Interval| Sampling Interval which enables Digital Filter
---|---|---
1 Channel or less| 10 msec or slower
2| 50 msec or slower
2 Channels or less| 20 msec or slower 2| 125 msec or slower
5 Channels or less| 50 msec or slower
2| 250 msec or slower
10 Channels or less| 100 msec or slower| 500 msec or slower
11 to 20 Channels| 200 msec or slower| 1 sec or slower
21 to 50 Channels| 500 msec or slower| 2 sec or slower
51 to 100 Channels| 1 sec or slower| 5 sec or slower
101 to 200 Channels| 2 sec or slower| 10 sec or slower

  1. Number of Measuring Channels is the number of active channels channels in which input settings are set to a value and NOT to “OFF” .
  2. Temperature are not measured when the sampling interval is set to 50 ms or faster.

In the “OTHER” menu, the commercial power frequency to be used must be set.
Set the AC power frequency to be used.

Trigger functions can be used to control the timing of the start of recording, and the timing of the end of recording.

Key Pointers
The span, trace and position operations can be performed while the GL840 is in the Free Running mode, while it is recording data, and while it is replaying data. The changes are applied to the displayed data only, and this change dose not affect the recorded data.

  1. How to change the Span setting
    The Span parameter is used to adjust the amplitude of the input waveform. This setting is made in the Free Running status.

  2. Set the displayed span for CH 1 to 110°C.

  3. Push the [SPAN/TRACE/POSITION] key to select the SPAN mode.GRAPHTEC-GL840-M-Channel-Multi-Function-Logger-75 Key Pointers

  7. Push the [SPAN/TRACE/POSITION] key to select the TRACE mode.

  8. Use the keys to make CH 1 active (enlarged display).

  9. Use theGRAPHTEC-GL840-M-Channel-Multi-Function-Logger-20 and GRAPHTEC-GL840-M-Channel-Multi-Function-Logger-21 keys to select Off.

  10. When this setting is changed to OFF, the CH 1 waveform will not be displayed.

  11. How to change the Position setting
    The Position parameter is used to adjust the position of displayed waveform that is set by the upper and lower values.GRAPHTEC-GL840-M-Channel-Multi-
Function-Logger-80

  12. Push the [SPAN/TRACE/POSITION] key to select the POSITION mode.

  13. Use the keys to make CH 1 active (enlarged display).

  14. Use the GRAPHTEC-GL840-M-Channel-Multi-Function-Logger-20 and GRAPHTEC-GL840-M-Channel-Multi-Function-Logger-21 keys to set the Position value to “+90°C to -20°C”. When this setting has been changed, the waveform screen scale will be set to “+90°C to -20°C”.GRAPHTEC-GL840-M-Channel-Multi-Function-Logger-81
