Warnings. · To comply with Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certification, route signal leads
and power cables in earthed (grounded), flexible metal conduit. Use the Position 1 protective ground stud (NOT the terminal module ground stud) to ground the flexible metal conduit. · Instruments not fitted with the optional internal on/off switch and fuse must have a disconnecting device such as a switch or circuit breaker conforming to local safety standards fitted to the final installation. It must be fitted in close proximity to the instrument within easy reach of the operator and must be marked clearly as the disconnection device for the instrument. · Remove all power from supply, relay and any powered control circuits and high common mode voltages before accessing or making any connections. · Use cable appropriate for the load currents. The terminals accept cables up to 14AWG (2.5mm2). · The instrument and all inputs and outputs conform to Mains Power Input Insulation Category II. · All connections to secondary circuits must have basic insulation. · After installation, there must be no access to live parts e.g. terminals. · Terminals for external circuits are for use only with equipment with no accessible live parts. · If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the Company, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. · All equipment connected to the instrument’s terminals must comply with local safety standards (IEC 60950, EN601010-1).

Notes. · Always route signal leads and power cables separately. · Use screened cable for signal inputs and relay connections. Connect the screen to the earth (ground) stud see Fig. 4.10. · The terminal blocks can be removed from the main PCB when making connections see Fig. 4.1. Before removing a
module, note its position. · If wall- or pipe-mounting to NEMA 4X hosedown standard is required, suitable cable glands must be used to prevent
water ingress.

2 GENERAL PROGRAMMING

The programming procedures are used to make changes to the operating parameter values and for scale adjustment.
The programming of all channels is performed using faceplate 1 see Fig. 2.1.
When changing the input type it may be necessary to reposition the input selector links accordingly see Section 5, CONNECTIONS & LINKS.
2.1 Preparation for Changes to the Parameters Isolate all external alarm/control circuits to prevent inadvertent operation during programming.
Changes to the operating parameters are implemented using the or keys see Section 3 of the Operating Guide.

2.2 Security System A security system is used to prevent tampering with the programmed parameters by restricting access to programming levels, other than the OPERATOR LEVEL; all users have access to this level.
A security password is used to give access to the programming pages. The password can be set to any value from 0 to 9999. The recorder is despatched with the password set to ‘0’ see Section 4.5 of Operating Guide.

Note. The recorder responds instantly to parameter changes which are saved automatically when leaving the current frame.

Broken Sensor Protection Drive In the event of a fault being detected on the input and/or if the Fault Detection Level Percentage is exceeded (see next frame), the process variable is driven in the direction of the drive selected.
Select the broken sensor drive required: NONE No drive UP Upscale drive dN Downscale drive.
Fault Detection Level Percentage A fault level percentage can be set to detect a deviation above or below the display limits.
For example, if FdLP is set at 10.0%, a fault is detected if an input goes more than 10% above Engineering Range High or more than 10% below Engineering Range Low.
On some ranges the input circuitry may saturate before the fault level set is reached. In this case an error is detected below the level set.
Set the level required, between 0.0 and 100.0% of engineering span (range low to high) in 0.1% increments.
Note. If an input exceeds the minimum or maximum value for the linearizer selected an error is detected regardless of any fault level.
Programmable Filter Filters the process variable input, i.e. if the input is stepped it smooths the transition between steps and may also be used for some degree of cleaning of noisy inputs. The filter time represents the time a step in the input takes to change the displayed process variable from 10 to 90% of the step.
Set the value required, between 0 and 60 in 1 second increments.

The operation of a delayed high/low process alarm is identical to that of the standard high/low process alarm but the alarm can be enabled/disabled by use of a digital signal.
The alarm state is held off whilst the enable signal is off and continues to be held off for a pre-configured period of time after the enable signal is switched ON (irrespective of the process variable value). Once the pre- configured alarm delay time has expired then the alarm operates in the same manner as a standard high/low process alarm.

1 Process variable goes above trip point but alarm is not activated because enable signal is low (Alarm Disable). 2 Alarm Enable signal is switched On. Alarm delay timer started. 3 Process variable goes above trip point but alarm is not activated because alarm delay time has not expired. 4 Alarm delay timer expires, alarm is now enabled. Alarm is activated because process variable is above trip point. 5 Process variable goes below trip (hysteresis) point therefore alarm is de-activated. 6 Process variable goes above trip point, alarm is activated (alarm is enabled and delay time has expired). 7 Alarm Enable signal is switched Off. Alarm is disabled immediately. Alarm de- activates.

— C1900
The C1900 is a fully programmable circular chart recorder for up to four process signals. The C1900’s straightforward operator controls and robust construction make it suitable for a variety of industrial environments. Excellent standard facilities are complemented by a powerful range of options to give the flexibility to match your application.

— Simple Operation

— Comprehensive Process Information
The C1900 lets you see the status of your process at a glance: high visibility 6-digit displays provide a clear indication of up to four process values simultaneously and active alarms are signalled by flashing LEDs below the main display.

The clearly-labelled tactile keypad gives direct access for operator adjustments and configuration programming, without the need to open the recorder’s door. Clear text prompts on the digital displays guide the user around the various menus. A password-protected security system prevents unauthorized access to configuration adjustment menus.

The chart is easily set up to show the information you need in the way you want. Pen ranges are individually set to give the best resolution for each signal; the time per revolution can be selected between 1 hour and 32 days. Additionally a true time event pen facility enables one pen to be set up as a 3-position event marker on the same time line as Pen 1.

C1900 SERIES CIRCULAR CHART RECORDER | DS/C1900R-EN REV. AB

— Flexibility to Solve Problems
The C1900 offers seamless integration of loop functionality to solve process problems, eliminating the need for auxiliary devices.
— Totalizers, Math And Logic
Integrating fluid flow to calculate total volume is performed by the built-in totalizers available for each channel. Relays can be assigned to increment or reset external counters to match the recorder’s totalizer values. User configurable math functions, mass flow calculations and RH tables are all fully supported. Logic capability allows interlocking and integration of discrete and continuous functions to solve a wide range of process problems.

— Timers and Clock
The C1900 offers two event timers driven by the recorder’s real-time clock. The timers can be configured to operate relays, start/stop the chart or trigger other actions within the recorder.

— Built to Meet Your Needs
The C1900’s modular architecture gives rise to a high level of hardware choice: up to five I/O modules can be added to the basic instrument.
The standard input/output module supplied with every pen comes complete with a fully isolated analog input, a relay output, transmitter power supply, isolated analog retransmission and two digital inputs.
Further input and output capability is provided by a range of plug-in modules:
· Analog input and relay for use with math functions · Four relays channel alarm outputs · Eight digital inputs linked using logic equations · Eight digital outputs TTL level alarm outputs · Modbus RS485 communications interfaces with PCs
— Expandable for the Future
The C1900 may be quickly upgraded to meet your changing process requirements. Additional recording channels, math capability or input and output functions can be retrofitted on-site using plug-in cards and easily fitted pen arms. Input calibration data is stored on each card, allowing quick changes to input cards without the need for recalibration. Changes to input sensors or recording procedures are accommodated by reconfiguration using the main keypad.

— Designed to Survive
NEMA 4X protection ensures the C1900 can survive in the harshest environments and makes the recorder ideal for use in panels which are regularly hosed down. The tough, acidresistant case and secure cable-entry glands maintain the NEMA 4X rating for wall-mounted or pipe-mounted instruments.
— Noise Immunity
Recording accuracy is maintained in noisy industrial environments due to the advanced EMC shielding within the recorder. The power supply has been designed to give excellent protection from power spikes and brownouts and all configuration and status information is held in nonvolatile memory to ensure rapid recovery after a power failure.
— Minimal Maintenance
Excellent long-term stability keeps recalibration to a minimum, cutting the costs of ownership. User-selectable chart speeds and long-life pens combine to limit usage of consumables.
— Built-in Quality
The C1900 is designed, manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards, including ISO 9001.

— Easy to Install
A choice of mounting options enables simple installation of the recorder in a panel, on a wall or on a pipe. Detachable terminal blocks allow for trouble- free connection of input and output wiring, with mains isolation provided by a power switch within the instrument.
