GR 5
Standard features
• CE Mark - Conformity with 2006/95/EC, Low
Voltage Directive and 2004/108/EC EMC Directive.
• Common Relay Output - A separate relay alarm
output at the rear of the unit can be set up as an
alarm output.
• Communications - the recorder supports FTP,
Modbus TCP/IP (slave mode), Web and Email over
Ethernet (DHCP standard) communications port
and Modbus RTU (slave mode) via an RS485 port.
USB ports allow the use of an ASCII barcode
reader. Email sent to your network connected PC
triggered by an Alarm or an Event.
• Language Support - standard language prompts
for English UK & US, French, German, Italian,
Spanish, Brazilian, Polish, Hungarian, Slovakian,
Czech, Turkish, Romanian, Russian, Portuguese,
Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Bulgarian.
• Logarithmic Scales - all displayed scales can be
set as linear or logarithmic.
• Enclosure rating - standard NEMA 3 / IP55 type
front face protection. NEMA 4X / IP66 available as
an option.
• Pulse Inputs -The 8 Digital I/O option card has 4
channels that can be set as pulse inputs (first 4
channels). The operating frequency for pulse inputs
on the Digital I/O card is 1kHz max.
• Fuzzy Logging - this standard feature provides a
unique method to increase the storage capacity of
the recorder. The data is monitored to determine
changes in process data; if no changes are
observed data is logged periodically. If data is
changing rapidly, it is recorded normally at the
programmed rate. By not logging data that is static,
data compression of up to 100:1 or more can be
achieved saving valuable memory.
• Rate up and rate down alarms - Users can
configure a rate of change in engineering units to
be checked over a time period in seconds from 1 to
3600 (1 hour).
• Security tag - “wire seal provision” that provides
added security to seal the front door and rear wiring
when using optional rear cover to prevent
undetected entry to these areas of the recorder.
• Independent Display Chart Speeds and Logging
rates - logging rates can be programmed
completely separate from the chart display speed,
allowing the data to be displayed and stored at the
rates that best suits the application.
• Soft Alarms - 6 “software" alarms per pen are
easily set u p to display and record selected out-of-
limit conditions. These can be tied to the relay or
digital outputs to activate the user’s external
equipment.
• USB Ports - Front and rear USB host ports for data
and setup transfers or remote screen through these
ports. Use these ports to attach external devices
(keyboard or mouse) for direct interfacing with the
recorder.
• Replay with Zoom -Select replay mo de and zoo
m-in on a specific area on the screen. The
data can easily be replayed at the recorder with the
ability to “zoom”. The touch screen makes it fast to
review and analyze historical data. A "Jump"
function allows you to go from any message list
directly to the trend showing the occurrence of the
alarm.
• Dual Cursors in Replay - Displays the time and
date between two independently positioned cursors
on a replay screen. Also provides digital readings
and shows the max min between the cursors.
• Alert System - Error messages can be displayed
for serious errors such as a connectivity problems
or can be used as an early warning message
system to notify the user on potential memory
storage space availability.
• Sound Effects - Sound effects, Used as an event
effect the user can pick from a list of 20 different
sounds these can be configured to play a single
time or repeat continuously until a corresponding
“stop” event is triggered for that sound. The sounds
themselves can be replaced on the recorder with
custom sounds loaded by the user.
• User Variables - Provides the user with the ability
to set values for up to 32 variables that can be used
in the maths and scripts. Values can be altered to
effect calculations without having to change the
configuration. User variables are non-volatile.
