Chapter 1 Overview

1-1 General

The CT7300 is a microprocessor-based circle chart recorder. Programmable alarm options combined with “ease of setup” provide the flexibility required for multiple recording applications.
The Ink style CT7300is the first recorder to “self-document” setup configuration during initial setup and can operate using standard 10 inch charts. The battery backup provides up to 48 hours of recording in the event of power loss, thereby providing an additional degree of protection for customer processes. A green LED indicates battery condition, see section 2-14. (Page 15)
The unit is powered by 115/230VAC,50/60Hz. Programmable inputs for thermocouple types J, K, T, R, B, and S as well as 4-20mA or 0-5VDCare standard. Optional alarm relays are available and programmable for low, high, or band operation. A green LED indicates the unit is recording.
A unique setup chart provides the user with an “on the spot” manual. This setup chart will also self document the current setup for quick review by an operator.
High accuracy, maximum flexibility, fast response, and a simple user interface are the main benefits of the CT7300recorder.

Chapter 2 Installation

Dangerous voltages capable of causing death are sometimes present when wiring the instrument. Before installation or beginning any troubleshooting procedures the power to all equipment must be switched off and isolated. Units suspected of being at fault must be disconnected and removed to a properly equipped workshop for testing and repair. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be made by qualified personnel only.
This recorder operates on 115 or 230 (50-60Hz), be sure the line voltage is OFF before connecting recorder.
To minimize the possibility of fire or shock hazards, do not expose this instrument to rain or excessive moisture.
**** Do not use this instrument in areas under hazardous conditions such as excessive shock, vibration, dirt, moisture, corrosive gases, or oil. The ambient temperature of the areas should not exceed the maximum rating specified in Chapter 5.

2-1 Unpacking

Upon receipt of the shipment remove the unit from the carton and inspect the unit for shipping damage.

If any damage is due to transit, report, and claim with the carrier. Write down the model number, serial number, and date code for future reference when corresponding with our service center. The serial number (S/N) and date code (D/C) are labeled on the box and the bottom side of the recorder. Make sure that all items are accounted for:

1. Battery(for battery backup)
2. Ferrite Core
3. User’s Guide
4. Chart Recorder

2-2 Mounting
The Chart Recorder can be mounted inside a panel.
Install both mounting clamps and insert the case into panel cutout. The Panel cut out is 32.3 x 32.3 cm (12.72 x 12.72 in.)

2-3 Case Location

Upon unpacking, find a suitable location to mount the recorder before wiring power to the unit. After the recorder has been connected to the main AC power supply, install the 9VDC battery in it’s holder.
Select a location that is well lighted, free from dust, dirt, or corrosive fumes. The instrument should not be located near any sources of heat or be subject ot sudden or extreme temperature changes. It should be mounted on a rigid support that is not subject to vibration. Refer to figure 6.1 for recorder case dimensions.

2-4 Wiring Precautions

• Before wiring, verify the label for the correct model number and options. Switch off the power when checking.
• Care must be taken to ensure that the maximum voltage rating specified on the label is not exceeded.
• It is recommended that the power of these units be protected by fuses or circuit breakers rated at the minimum value possible.
• All units should be installed inside a suitably grounded metal enclosure to prevent live parts from being accessible to human hands and metal
• All wiring must conform to appropriate standards of good practice and local codes and regulations. Wiring must be suitable for the maximum voltage, current, and temperature rating of the system.
• Take care not to over-tighten the terminalscrews.
• Unused control terminals should not be used as jumper points as they may be internally connected, causing damage to the unit. Verify that the ratings of the output devices and the inputs as
• specified in Chapter 5 are not exceeded.
• Electric power in industrial environments contains a certain amount of noise in the form of transient voltage and spikes. This electrical noise can enter and adversely affect the operation of microprocessor-based controls. For this reason, we strongly recommend the use of a shielded thermocouple extension wire which connects the sensor to the unit. This wire is a twisted-pair construction with foil wrap and drains wire. The drain wire is to be attached to the earth ground at the sensor end only.

2-5 Power Wiring

The unit is supplied to operate at 115/230VAC 50/60Hz. Check that the installation voltage corresponds with the power rating indicated on the product label before connecting power to the unit.

The recorder uses AC power when it is operating normally. The battery backup option will allow the recorder to operate for approximately 48 hours in case of a power loss. AC input can be fused with a 250VAC, .5 Amp fuse.
In order to connect the recorder to the main AC power, you must first gain access to the microprocessor PC board that is mounted to the back of the chart plate. Your recorder will have a hinged chart plate held in place by two (2) screws located on the right-hand side of the chart plate. Remove these two screws and open the hinged chart plate.
The AC power connections are made to the 4 position terminal block located on the back side of the plate. All AC and ground wires must be a minimum of 16 AWG. Refer to Figure 2.1 for proper connection to the main AC power. Earth Ground must be connected at the ground lug provided. See Figure 2.1
**** This equipment is designed for installation in an enclosure which provides adequate protection against electric shock. Grounding of this Recordermust meets national and local codes. The ground wire should be Color coded GREEN or GREEN with a YELLOW strip.
Local requirements regarding electrical installation should be rigidly observed. Consideration should be given to preventing unauthorized persons access to the power terminals.

2-6 Sensor Installation Guidelines

Proper sensor installation can eliminate many problems in a control system. The probe should be placed so that it can detect any temperature change with minimal thermal lag. In a process that requires fairly constant heat output, the probe should be placed close to the heater. In a process where the heat demand is variable, the probe should be closed to the work area. Some experiments with probe location are often required to find this optimum position.
Proper sensor type is also a very important factor to obtain precise measurements. The sensor must have the correct temperature range to meet the process requirements. In special processes, the sensor might need to have different requirements such as leak-proof, anti-vibration, antiseptic, etc.
Standard thermocouple sensor limits of error are ±4 degrees F ( ±2 degrees C ) or 0.75% of sensed temperature plus drift caused by improper protection or an over-temperature occurrence. This error is far greater than controller error and cannot be corrected at the sensor except by proper selection and replacement.
In order to connect the probe input device to the recorder, you must first gain access to the microprocessor PC board that is mounted to the back of the chart plate.
A ferrite core has been included to provide additional protection against electrical RF Noise sensor signal wires may pick up. See the drawing below for the correct installation of this device.

CAUTION! DO NOT TOUCH the terminals of the transformer while the recorder is connected to the main AC power supply. To avoid the risk of possible electric shock, unplug or disconnect the recorder from the main power supply before attempting to open the recorder. If the recorder is installed with the battery back-up option, disconnect the 9 Volt battery to avoid damaging the recorder and draining the battery.
Your recorder will have a hinged chart plate held in place by two (2) screws located on the right hand side of the chart plate. Remove these two screws and open the hinged chart plate. If you are not sure how to access the back of the chart plate, please contact OMEGA Engineering before continuing.

2-7 Thermocouple Input Wiring

Thermocouple input connections are shown in Figure 2.3. The correct type of thermocouple extension lead-wire or compensating cable must be used for the entire distance between the unit and the thermocouple, ensuring that the correct polarity is observed throughout. Splices in the cable should be avoided, if possible. A ferrite core is supplied with the CT7300 recorder to provide additional protection against RF noise. Input wiring should be wrapped around the core before wiring to the recorder inputs.
If the length of the thermocouple plus the extension wire is too long, it may affect the temperature measurement. A 400 ohms K type or a 500 ohms J type thermocouple lead resistance will produce approximately 1 degree C temperature error.

2-8 RTD Input Wiring

RTD connections are shown in Figure 2.3, with the compensating lead connected to terminal 4. For two-wire RTDinputs, terminals 2 and 4 should be linked. The three-wire RTD offers the capability of lead resistance compensation provided that the three leads are of the same gauge and equal length.
Two-wire RTDshould be avoided, if possible, for the purpose of accuracy. A 0.4-ohm lead resistance of a two-wire RTD will produce a 1 degree C temperature error.

2-9 Linear DC Input Wiring
DC linear voltage and linear current connections are also shown in Figure 2.3.

2-10 Alarm Relay
If your recorder has the optional relay contacts installed, then terminal blocks J1 and J2 have been provided for connection to the relay on the microprocessor PC board of the recorder. Refer to Figure 2.3 for the location of J1 and J2 on the microprocessor PC board.
CAUTION! DO NOT TOUCH the terminals of the transformer while the recorder is connected to the main AC power supply. To avoid the risk of possible electric shock, unplug or disconnect the recorder from the main power supply before attempting to access the terminals of the relay. If the recorder is installed with the battery back-up option, disconnect the 9 Volt battery to avoid damaging the recorder and draining the battery.
Your recorder has a hinged chart plate held in place by two (2) screws located on the right-hand side of the chart plate. Remove these two screws and open the hinged chart plate.

The relays are rated for the following maximum Values:
2.0 AMPS at 25VDC
1.0 AMP at 120VAC
Warning: Damage to the recorder may result if the ratings for the relays are exceeded.

2-11 Changing the Chart

Press and release the CHANGE CHART key (3 in Figure 3.1). The pen(s) will move to the left of the chart and the green LED will flash rapidly. Wait until the pen(s) stops above the outer ring AND the green LED goes on steady. Unscrew the chart “hub” knob at the center of the chart. Remove the old chart paper and position the new one so that the correct timeline coincides with the timeline groove on the chart plate. Refer to Figure 2.4 for the location of the timeline groove.
Re-attach the chart “hub”knob and screw securely (by hand) against the chart. Press and release the CHANGE CHART key (3). The pen will move to the outer ring, green LED remains on, then pauses. If alarms are enabled pen(s) will then move to current alarm setpoints. For information to set these setpoints please see Chapter 3.
If alarms are not enabled after pausing at the outer ring, pens will go to current recording value.
Check to make sure that the pen(s) are marked on the chart paper. If it is not, then carefully adjust the pen arm to establish contact with the paper.

2-12 Marking Systems

This type of pen consists of a self-contained ink reservoir with a porous plastic stylus which is snapped around the outer edge of the metal pen arm.
A pen cap is provided to extend the life of the ink pen during shipping or when the recorder is not in service. To remove the pen cap, gently lift the pen arm away from the chart paper. Remove the black plastic pen cap to expose the fiber tip of the ink pen and gently place the pen back onto the chart paper. Do not let the pen arm “snap” back onto the chart paper. This will flatten the fiber tip of the pen and will no longer give you a fine line marking on the chart paper. Place the pen cap in a safe place for future use.
If the stylus does not touch the chart, adjustment can be made by slightly bending the metal pen arm in the center towards the chart paper. Do not use more pressure than is necessary to create a fine line marking on the chart paper. Note: As the pen ink supply runs out, the pen color will become lighter. This indicates that the pen should be replaced.

2-13 Replacement of Pen

Recorders that are equipped with fiber tipped cartridge pens are colored-coded RED for pen 1 and GREEN for pen 2. The pen cartridge is securely fastened to the metal pen arm using a special “U”clip tab.
For ease of replacement, it is suggested that the two (2) screws that hold the pen arm be loosened and the pen cartridge and metal pen arm be removed as an assembly. Refer to Figure 2.5 for the location of the pen arm screws. Unsnap the plastic “U”clip tab of the pen cartridge from the metal pen arm, remove and discard the old pen cartridge. Replace the new cartridge by opening the hinge and snapping it securely around the metal pen arm. Refer to Figure 2.4 for pen cartridge replacement.

2-14 Battery Backup
The 9 volt battery backup option allows the recorder to operate normally for approximately 48 hours in the event of a power failure.
The green LED provides an indication of battery condition (when the battery the backup option is installed on the recorder).
If green LED is on continuous, battery voltage is acceptable.
If green LED is flashing rapidly, battery voltage is below 7.5 VDC, indicating that the battery should be replaced.
The battery strap and battery holder are located on the front of the chart plate (refer to Figure 2.5). In order to change the battery, you must open the recorder case door. Note: Use only NEW 9 volt alkaline replacement batteries.

5. Red pen will then move to 100% ring. Adjust this pen to 100% ring, using LEFT (1) and RIGHT(2) keys, then wait.

6. Red pen will then move to 0% ring. Adjust pen using LEFT (1) and RIGHT(2) keys, then wait. The pen will then move full upscale.

7. Green pen will move to 0% ring. Adjust pen to 0%, using LEFT (1) and RIGHT(2) keys, then wait. Green pen will now travel full upscale.

8. Pen calibration is now complete.

If unit has alarms enabled pens will now go to current alarm settings. See Section 3.2. Then to actual recording value.
If no alarms are enabled pens will then go directly to actual recording values.
Each time the chart paper or fiber tip pen cartridge is changed, you should make sure that each pen stops at the inner and outermost temperature graduation of the chart paper. Otherwise, this pen offset can cause the unit to record an incorrect temperature on the chart.

4-2 Probe Offset Adjustment (pen offset)

This recorder has been accurately calibrated at the factory. Before making any adjustments, this instrument should be in service for 24 hours. Thereafter, if any adjustment is required, perform the following procedure.

1. Place a Certified Test Thermometer(s)alongside the recorder’s sensor probe(s) in a monitored controlled condition.
2. Once the temperature has leveled out, compare the position of the pen(s) on the recorder to the test thermometer reading, also compare the Certified Test Thermometerísreading to the second pen of the recorder.
3. For two (2) pen recorders, you must first select the pen that you wish to calibrate. This is done by pressing the LEFT (1) arrow key to select the Red pen or the RIGHT(2) arrow key to select the Green pen. The appropriate arrow key must be held down for approximately five (5) seconds until the green LED goes out. Once the green LED goes out, release the key. The green LED will begin to flash steadily. Adjust the selected pen to the desired value. This is done by using the LEFT (1) or RIGHT(2) arrow keys. Once the corrected value is obtained, wait. Green LED will go to on steady, indicating a return to normal recording mode.

After the temperature calibration check is complete, the recorder will return to normal recording mode within 5 seconds of no further key depression.
