Introduction

April 2017

1. Overview
1.1 Introduction
Function
The DR4500A Truline Recorder is a one to four-channel microprocessor-based circular chart recorder. Its
"one-pen" stylus printhead produces up to four analog traces and prints alphanumeric chart data on a blank
heat-sensitive chart. All four traces share the same time line reference which the Truline prints. This
eliminates the error caused by pen alignment offsets in conventional pen designs. Since the Truline prints
the chart and generates the analog traces at the same time, there is no error due to variations in chart size
caused by changes in temperature and humidity.
In addition to printing chart records, the Truline recorder alternately displays process variable values for all
channels in the selected engineering units.
Models with up to four input channels accept inputs from any one of a variety of sensors or transmitters
within the configurable range limits.
The Truline is also available with one or two independent digital controllers and setpoint programmers.

The emission limits of EN 61326 are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when this equipment is operated in an industrial environment. Operation
of this equipment in a residential area may cause harmful interference. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause interference to radio
and television reception when the equipment is used closer than 30 meters (98 feet) to the
antenna(e). In special cases, when highly susceptible apparatus is used in close proximity, the
user may have to employ additional mitigating measures to further reduce the electromagnetic
emissions of this equipment.
Microprocessor controlled recording and printing
Both the chart and printhead are driven by stepper motors controlled by the microprocessor with
configurable chart speed through the keypad.
You can configure various "printed" chart data such as range marking in engineering units, digital values
for process variables, and trace identification. This data plus printed time lines and engineering units of
scale eliminate the need to maintain an inventory of a variety of preprinted charts.
The Truline recorder uses a dot fill technique from a microprocessor algorithm to produce a continuous
analog trace of a process variable.

April 2017
Digital controller
The DR4500A recorder controller includes an integral microprocessor-based, single or dual loop PID
controller with optional setpoint program. A variety of output types, including a duplex variation for heat
cool applications, lets you select the output that is right for your final control element. Accutune II lets you
automatically tune your loops.
You can configure the control action as On-Off, PID-A, PID-B, PD with manual reset, or Three Position
Step. English language prompts guide you through the entry of all the controller's configurable parameters.
Construction
The DR4500A recorder is housed in a molded case which can be panel or surface mounted. A glass or
acrylic windowed door (A UL and FM approved NEMA4X door is also available )protects the internal
components while allowing easy access to the chart and operator interface. An optional external keypad
that allows operator selections without opening the door is available.
Circuitry is partitioned on printed circuit boards for ease of service.
Power, input, and output wiring connect to terminations inside the case. Knockouts in the sides and bottom
of the case accept conduit connections for convenient wire entry.

2.5 Wiring Prerequisites
Taking electrical noise precautions
Electrical noise is composed of unabated electrical signals which produce undesirable effects in
measurements and control circuits.
Digital equipment is especially sensitive to the effects of electrical noise. Your recorder has built-in circuits
to reduce the effect of electrical noise from various sources. If there is a need to further reduce these
effects:
Separate External Wiring - separate connecting wires into bundles (see Table 2-10) and route the
individual bundles through separate conduits or metal trays.
Use Suppression Devices - for additional noise protection, you may want to add suppression devices at
the external source; appropriate suppression devices are commercially available.
REFERENCE
For additional noise information, refer to document number 51-52-05-01.
Electrical considerations
The recorder is considered “rack and panel mounted equipment” per EN 61010-1, Safety
Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use, Part
1: General Requirements.
Recorder grounding
PROTECTIVE BONDING (grounding) of this recorder shall be in accordance with National
and local electrical codes.
Functional earth
To minimize electrical noise and transients that may adversely affect the system,
supplementary bonding of the recorder enclosure to a functional earth ground, using a 3/4”
braided copper conductor, is required.
A terminal on the rear of the recorder is provided for this connection.
CE conformity special conditions (Europe)
Braid shielded cable is required for all Input I/O and Output Relay cables. All recorder cable shield wires,
except the RS485 Modbus communications cable shield, must be connected to a low impedance earth
ground at the recorder. This can be done by bussing the shields to an earth ground point, or by connecting
the shields to the conduit entry fittings if they are in electrical contact with the enclosure conductive
coating. In either case, the shields shall not extend into the recorder enclosure. The cable shields shall also
be connected to a low impedance earth ground at the farthest end of the cable, through a 0.0047 uF
capacitor. See each of the individual wiring diagrams.
Installation - Wiring Prerequisites
28 DR4500A Truline Circular Chart Recorder With or Without Control Product Manual Release P
April 2017
For the RS485 Modbus communications cable, Alpha XTRA Guard I cable (Alpha P/N 5121C) is required.
At the recorder end, the communications cable shield must be unconnected and must not extend into the
recorder enclosure. The shield of the communications cable must be connected to earth ground at the
farthest end of the cable. See the option wiring procedure for the RS485 Communications Card.
Inside of the enclosure, the user must install ferrite suppression filters and capacitors on all wires connected
to the recorder. ©Fair-Rite Products Corp. part number 0443164151, or equivalent, shall be installed as
shown in Figure 2-11 to Figure 2-22, one filter for each circuit group.
Cable with an outer jacket diameter larger than 6.7 mm (0.264 in.) may require the outer jacket to be
removed to fit the required one turn in the filter, or the selection of a different cable.

3.14 SP Ramp Set Up Groups
The Setpoint Ramp 1 or 2 Set Up groups let you configure 2 setpoint ramps. Each group (SP RAMP1 and
SP RAMP 2) can be configured one of three ways: ramp, rate, or setpoint program.
Setpoint Ramp
Setpoint will ramp between the current local setpoint and a final setpoint over a time interval (SP RAMP).
Setpoint Rate
The Setpoint Ramp Set Up group also contains the function parameters that let you configure a specific
ramp rate up and ramp rate down (SP RATE). These rates are used when the local setpoint is manually
changed.
Setpoint Program
Also included under this group are prompts for configuring a Setpoint program (SP PROG). The prompts
and instructions for Setpoint programming are presented in the Section 6 - Setpoint Ramp/Soak
Programming and Operation.
Function prompts
Table 3-11 lists all the function prompts in the SP RAMP 1 or SP RAMP 2 Set Up group. Configure each
ramp separately. When you enable the ramp type (SP RAMP, SP RATE, SP PROG) the other two types
are hidden from the display.

3.16 Alarms Set Up Group
Introduction
This data deals with the Alarms function that is available with your recorder.
There are six alarms available. Each alarm has two setpoints.
You can configure each of these two setpoints to alarm on various recorder parameters. There are two
alarm output selections, high or low.
You can also configure the two setpoints to alarm on the same event and to alarm both high and low, if
desired. An adjustable hysteresis of 0.0 % to 100.0 % is configurable for each alarm.
Priority of functions that operate relays
During alarm conditions an alarm will deenergize its associated relay unless a higher priority function has
been configured for that relay. See Table 3-13. If you want the alarm to control the relay, do not configure
a higher priority function.

4.1 Overview
Introduction
This section provides information for all the user-configurable control parameters listed in the
configuration section. If you aren't familiar with these parameters, this section gives you the parameter
prompt, the selection or range of setting that you can make, and a definition of how each parameter setting
affects recorder performance. It will also refer you to any other prompts that might be affected by your
selection.
Parameter groups and prompts
The control information is found in three configuration groups which are accessed by the SET UP key.
Each of these groups contains prompts, viewed in the lower display, which deal with functions that are
pertinent to that particular group. These are accessed by pressing the FUNC key.
The selections or values are listed in the upper display. Refer to Section 3 - Configuration for step by
step instructions.

linear input to represent a nonlinear one.
NOTE: Prompt only appears when a linear actuation
is selected at prompt ‘IN1 TYPE”.
FOR EXAMPLE: If input 1 is a 4 to 20 mA signal, but
the signal represents a type "K" thermocouple; select
"K TC H" and the recorder will characterize the 4 to

the input fails.
Not available for inputs 0-5 V, 0-10 V, or 4-20 mA.
NO BURNOUT — Failsafe output applied for failed
input.
UPSCALE BURNOUT will make the indicated PV signal
increase when a sensor fails, and flash the upper
display.
DOWNSCALE BURNOUT will make the indicated PV
signal decrease when a sensor fails, and flash the upper
display.
NOTE: For no Burnout (that is, “None”) to function
properly on a linear input, there must be a dropping
resistor directly across the input terminals (that is, not
remote), then the unit can detect the “zero” voltage that
occurs when the 4-20 mA line is opened.
EMISSIV
.01 to 1.00
EMISSIVITY is a correction factor applied to the
Radiamatic input signal that is the ratio of the actual
energy emitted from the target to the energy which
would be emitted if the target were a perfect radiator.
Available only for “Radiamatic” inputs.
Repeat the procedure for INPUT 2, INPUT 3, and INPUT 4 configuration.

The CONTROL ALGORITHM lets you select the type of
control that is best for your process.
ATTENTION
If the recorder has two controllers
(both enabled), CONT1ALG applies for controller #1
and CONT2ALG applies for controller #2.
ON-OFF
ON/OFF is the simplest control type. The output can be
either ON (100 %) or OFF (0 %). The Process Variable
(PV) is compared with the setpoint (SP) to determine
the sign of the error (ERROR = PV-SP). The ON/OFF
algorithm operates on the sign of the error signal.
In Direct Acting Control, when the error signal is
positive, the output is 100 %; and when the error
signal is negative, the output is 0 %. If the control
action is reverse, the opposite is true. An adjustable
overlap (Hysteresis Band) is provided between the on
and off states.
Other prompts affected: “OUT HYST”
DUPLEX ON/OFF is an extension of this algorithm
when the output is configured for Duplex. It allows the
operation of a second ON/OFF output. There is a
deadband between the operating ranges of the two
inputs and an adjustable overlap (hysteresis) of the on
and off states of each output. Both Deadband and
Hysteresis are separately adjustable. With no relay
action the controller will read 50 %.

PID A
NOTE: PID A should not be
used for Proportional only action
(that is, no integral (reset)
action.) Instead, use PD+MR
with rate set to 0.
PID A is normally used for three-mode control. This
means that the output can be adjusted somewhere
between 100 % and 0 %. It applies all three control
actions — Proportional (P), Integral (I), and Derivative
(D) — to the error signal.
Proportional (Gain) — regulates the controller’s output
in proportion to the error signal (the difference between
Process Variable and Setpoint).
Integral (Reset) — regulates the controller's output to
the size of the error and the time the error has existed.
(The amount of corrective action depends on the value
of proportional Gain.)
Derivative (Rate) — regulates the controller's output in
proportion to the rate of change of the error. (The
amount of corrective action depends on the value of
proportional Gain.)
PID B
PID B unlike the PID-A equation, the controller gives
only an integral response to a setpoint change, with no
effect on the output due to the gain or rate action, and it
gives full response to PV changes. Otherwise controller
action is as described for the PID-A equation. See note
on PID-A.
PD+MR
PD WITH MANUAL RESET is used whenever integral
action is not wanted for automatic control. The equation
is computed with no integral contribution. The MANUAL
RESET, which is operator adjustable, is then added to
the present output to form the controller output.
Switching between manual and automatic mode will not
be bumpless.
If you select PD with Manual Reset you can also
configure the following variations:
PD (Two Mode) control,
P (Single Mode) control.
Set Rate (D) and/or Reset Time (I) to 0.

3PSTEP
The THREE POSITION STEP algorithm allows the
control of a valve (or other actuator), with an electric
motor driven by two controller relay outputs; one to
move the motor upscale, the other downscale without a
feedback slidewire linked to the motor shaft. The
deadband and hysteresis are adjustable in the same
manner as the duplex output algorithm.
The Three Position Step Control algorithm provides an
output display (OUT) which is an estimated motor
position since the motor is not using any feedback.
Although this output indication is only an approximation,
it is “corrected” each time the controller drives the motor
to one of its stops (0 % or 100 %). It avoids all the
control problems associated with the feedback slidewire
(wear, dirt, noise). When operating in this algorithm, the
estimated “OUT” display is shown to the nearest percent

4.12 Alarms Set Up Group
Introduction
An alarm is an indication that an event that you have configured (for example—Process Variable) has
exceeded one or more alarm limits. There are six alarms available, each with two setpoints. You can
configure each of these two setpoints to alarm on various controller parameters. There are two alarm output
selections, high and low. You can configure each setpoint to alarm either high or low. These are called
single alarms. You can also configure the two setpoints to alarm on the same event and to alarm both high
and low. An adjustable hysteresis of 0.0 % to 100.0 % is configurable for each alarm setpoint.
Priority of functions that operate relays
During alarm conditions an alarm will deenergize its associated relay unless a higher priority function has
been configured for that relay. See Table 3-13. If you want the alarm to control the relay, do not configure
a higher priority function.

Table III = _0_ for high speed stylus 30756304-001 (black tip)
Table III = _1_ for abrasion resistant jewel tip stylus 30756304-002

The abrasion resistant stylus is designed for recording applications that include highly abrasive
environments. The abrasion resistant stylus should only be used with chart speeds from 24 hrs/rev
to 31 days/rev.
Configuration choices
Configuration choices are now provided for PEN TYPE and the selection made must match the stylus
design.
PEN TYPE = NORMAL is for the high speed stylus design.
PEN TYPE = JEWEL is used only for abrasion resistant stylus design.
CAUTION
If the “JEWEL” selection is accidentally used with the high-speed design, the life of that stylus
will be shortened.
Printing characteristics adjustments
Normally there is no need to adjust the printing characteristics as part of an input or output calibration
procedure. However, if the chart printing appears to be faded, you can use the procedure in Table 4-18 to
make slight adjustments in the print contrast.
ATTENTION
To access Set-up group prompt “ADJUST”, the Set Up group prompt “LOCKOUT” must be set

5.3 Monitoring Your Recorder
Introduction
Besides the historical chart record, you can monitor the recorder’s indicators and displays to get an
instantaneous view of various process conditions and of the control loop status.
Diagnostic error messages signal detection of malfunctions in certain internally monitored data. Alarm and
tuning messages indicate alarms in effect and control loops being tuned.
Operator interface
The indicators and displays on the operator interface let you see what is happening to your process and how
the recorder is responding.

Reading the deviation bargraph
In addition to the indicators, a bargraph containing 21 bars displays Process Variable (PV) deviation from
Setpoint (SP).
ATTENTION
When CHN “1” indicator is lit, the bargraph display applies for Controller #1. It applies for
Controller #2 when CHN “2” indicator is lit. Sequentially press the LOWR DISP key to light the
appropriate CHN indicator (1 or 2) and view the corresponding controller displays.
The green “on-control” bar lights when the PV is within ± 1 % of setpoint.
The 10 small green bars above the “on-control” bar light for each positive deviation up to +10 % and the
10 below light for each negative deviation down to –10 %. If the process deviation is greater than
± 10 %, the “on-control” bar and the specific small green bars light.

5.9 Using Accutune II
Introduction
Accutune II provides foolproof, trouble-free on-demand tuning in the recorder. No knowledge of the
process is required at start-up. The operator simply enters the desired setpoint and initiates the tuning. The
recorder immediately starts controlling to the setpoint while it identifies the process, calculates the tuning
constants and enters them into the tuning set up group, and begins PID control with the correct tuning
parameters. This works with any process, including integrating type processes, and allows retuning at a

5.10 Alarm Setpoints
Introduction
An alarm consists of a relay contact and an operator interface indication. The alarm relay is de-energized
if Alarm Setpoint 1 or Setpoint 2 is exceeded.
The alarm relay is energized when the monitored value goes into the allowed region by more than the
hysteresis.
There are twelve alarm setpoints, two for each alarm.
The type and state (High or Low) is selected during configuration: see Section 3 - Configuration for
details.
ATTENTION
An active alarm will always provide an indication on the display but may not control the relay;
that is, a higher priority function such as a control loop or timer may have control of the relay.

Operation - Three Position Step Control Algorithm
162 DR4500A Truline Circular Chart Recorder With or Without Control Product Manual Release P
April 2017
5.11 Three Position Step Control Algorithm
Introduction
The Three Position Step Control algorithm allows the control of a valve (or other actuator) with an electric
motor driven by two controller output relays; one to move the motor upscale, the other to move it
downscale, without a feedback slidewire linked to the motor shaft.
Estimated motor position
The Three Position Step Control algorithm provides an output display (“OUT”) which is an estimated
motor position since the motor is not using any feedback.
Although this output indication is only accurate to a few percent, it is corrected each time the controller
drives the motor to one of its stops (0 % or 100 %).
It avoids all the control problems associated with the feedback slidewire (wear, dirt, noise).
When operating in this algorithm, the estimated “OUT” display is shown to the nearest percent (i.e., no
decimal).

Table 5-28 Maximizing Pen Life
Step
Action
1
Store the chart paper in a cool, clean dry place where the temperature does not exceed 40 °C
(104 °F) and the humidity is below 65 % RH.
2
Do not expose the pen tip and chart paper to abrasive chemicals or dust that cause excessive
pen wear.
3
If the recorder is used in a dusty atmosphere, provide a positive ‘clean air purge’ to minimize
dust particle accumulation on the chart paper.
4
Periodically clean the pen arm using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. This is more important
when the recorder is located in a dusty environment and no ‘clean air purge’ is used.
5
Never let the pen tip ride on the chart plate when the paper is not present. Use the pen lifter to
raise the arm when changing the paper.
6
Keep the door closed while recording.
7
Always insert the pen arm tip into the shipping sponge when storing or shipping the recorder.
8
Be sure that the chart paper lays flat against the chart plate. Any ripple in the paper will cause
light pen printing.
9
Be sure the chart hub assembly is pushed onto the motor shaft so that it is flush with the chart
plate.

6. Setpoint Ramp/Soak Programming and Operation
6.1 Overview
Introduction
As an option, the recorder can support the programming of a 36-segment setpoint program containing 18
ramp segments and 18 soak segments. In a ramp segment the setpoint value is changed as specified during
configuration. The ramp is configured in terms of ramp time or ramp rate, depending on how you have
configured the RAMPUNIT parameter. During a soak segment the setpoint is held at the specified value.
For each control loop you can build up to 6 profiles using any number of consecutive segments of the
program.
Odd-numbered segments are always ramp segments. Even-numbered segments are always soaks. These
ramp and soak segments can be used in up to six programs. You designate the beginning and end segments
to determine where the program will start or stop.
Every profile must start with a ramp segment and end on a soak segment.
Control Loop must have Setpoint Source set to 1LOCAL.
Control Loop 1 uses SP RAMP1, Control Loop 2 uses SP RAMP2. SP RAMP1 and SP RAMP2 are the
prompts under which the setpoint program is configured.
Recorder must be set to use SP1 (setpoint 1).
Only contiguous segments can be used by a profile.
There can be overlap between programs. For example, Profile 1 could use Segments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Profile 2 could be configured to begin with Segment 5 and end with Segment 8.
This section contains instructions for setting up a setpoint program, and for executing the program at
runtime.
Note that Section 4 contains instructions for using the setpoint ramp or setpoint rate. The SP RAMP
(setpoint ramp) and SP RATE (setpoint rate) parameters described in Section 4 must be set to
DISABL (disabled) if a setpoint program is to be used.
ATTENTION
If power is lost during execution of a program, upon power-up the recorder will use the last
setpoint value prior to the beginning of the setpoint program. The program is placed in hold at
the beginning. The Manual/Auto mode will be as configured under “POWER UP” in the
“CONTROL” group.

6.2 Setpoint Program Contents
What you will configure
You will configure all the data that is relevant to each ramp and soak segment for a given setpoint versus
time program (profile). The recorder will prompt you through the sequence of segments and associated
functions. These prompts and functions are described below.
Recycle number
The recycle number allows the program to recycle a specified number of times from beginning to end.
Range = 0 to 99
Guaranteed soak
A SOAK DEV (soak deviation) parameter is provided. If its value is not zero, then soaking will be frozen
for each segment until the difference (plus or minus) between PV and SP is less than or equal to the value
of SOAK DEV.
There are no guaranteed soaks whenever SOAKDEV = 0. In this case, soak segments start timing soak
duration as soon as the soak setpoint is first reached, regardless of where the process variable remains
relative to the soak setpoint during the duration of the segment.
The decimal location corresponds to input 1 decimal selection.
Profile number
The profile number specifies which of up to six profiles will run. Up to 6 profiles can be configured out of
any even number of consecutive segments from the 36 segments configured.
Program state
The program state selection determines the program state after completion.
The selections are:
DISABL = program is disabled
HOLD = program on hold
Recovery
If Recovery is enabled the setpoint program will continue from where it left off after the last power down.
Program End State
This determines the status of the recorder upon completion of the profile. The selections are:
LAST SP = hold at the last setpoint in the program
F SAFE = Manual mode, Failsafe Output
Setpoint Ramp/Soak Programming and Operation - Setpoint Program Contents
Release P DR4500A Truline Circular Chart Recorder With or Without Control Product Manual 175
April 2017
Profile Start and Profile End
These selections let you specify the segments that will comprise each of the 6 profiles. The first segment
must be a ramp (odd-numbered segment) and the last segment must be a soak (even-numbered).
Ramp unit
The ramp unit selection determines the engineering units for the ramp segments.
The selections are:
TIME = Hours:Minutes
EU-H = Degrees/Hour OR EU-M = Degrees/Minute
Ramp time or rate segments
A ramp segment is used to change the setpoint to the next soak setpoint value in the program.
Ramps are odd-numbered segments. Segment 1 will be the initial ramp.
Ramps are specifed in terms of either:
TIME* - Hours:Minutes Range = 0-99 hrs:59 min.
or
EU-M* - Degrees/Minute Range = 0 to 999
EU-H* - Degrees/Hour
* The selection of time or rate is made at prompt “RAMP UNIT”
Set this prompt before entering any Ramp information.
ATTENTION
Entering “0” will imply an immediate step change in setpoint to the next soak.
Soak segments
A soak segment is a combination of soak setpoint (value) and a soak duration (time).
Soaks are even-numbered segments.
Segment 2 will be the initial soak value and soak time.
The soak setpoint range value must be within the setpoint high and low range limits in engineering units.
(Specify the setpoint range with SP HI and SP LO in the control group as described in Section 4.)
Soak time is the duration of the soak and is determined in:
TIME - Hours:Minutes Range = 0-99 hrs:59 min.
Segment Events
Each segment can be programmed to trigger an alarm which in turn deenergizes the associated relay. The
selected alarm must be programmed as an event type for this to occur. Selections are:
ALARM 1 – ALARM 6.
Segment events will not trigger a relay if that relay is configured with one of these higher priority
functions:

6.8 Setpoint Program Event Set Up Group
Introduction
Segment events are used to activate relays by means of alarms. There are six alarms and six corresponding
relays. Alarm 1 controls Relay 1, Alarm 2 controls Relay 2, etc. When the setpoint program reaches the
segment, the segment event triggers the alarm which triggers the relay. The relay stays on for the duration
of the segment. There are no alarm conditions to be satisfied, that is, when the event goes on the alarm
goes on.
How to trigger a relay with a segment event
1. Program the segment event with the alarm corresponding with the desired relay.
2. Program that alarm as type EVENT. It is not necessary to program any alarm parameters other than the
alarm type.
3. Do not program other functions that have higher priority control of the relay. See During alarm
conditions an alarm will deenergize its associated relay unless a higher priority function has been
configured for that relay. See Table 3-13. If you want the alarm to control the relay, do not configure a
higher priority function.

Example of how a segment event works
For example, to have Segment 1 energize Relay 1:
Program SEG1 EV as ALARM1.
Program A1S1TYPE or A1S2TYPE as EVENT.
Do not program the Timer function Relay 1; namely, Timer.
For alarm programming information, see Subsection 4.12.

7. Input Calibration
7.1 Overview
SHOCK HAZARD – WARNING!
Disregard of these instructions may cause injury or death.
INPUT CALIBRATION MAY REQUIRE ACCESS TO HAZARDOUS LIVE CIRCUITS, AND
SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. MORE THAN
ONE SWITCH MAY BE REQUIRED TO DE-ENERGIZE UNIT BEFORE CALIBRATION.
Introduction
This section describes the field calibration procedures for inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4. All DR4500A recorders are
factory calibrated prior to shipment. It should not, therefore, be necessary to recalibrate the recorder when it
is initially installed. However, you must recalibrate the input if any one of the conditions summarized
below applies:
The thermocouple or RTD input must meet published* accuracy rates. Note that the factory calibration
at reference is ± 1.2 °F plus ± 10 microvolts for thermocouples or ± 0.3 ohms for RTDs.
* Specifications 44-45-03-14
You are using a 0-10 Vdc input. Recalibration is necessary because the resistor network used for this
input has a tolerance of ± 1.0 %.
You have cause to believe that the recorder is out of calibration.
You must perform regularly scheduled or periodic recalibration based on your own needs.
You have performed specific servicing activities such as replacement of an input PCB.
ATTENTION
Replacing a main PCB does not normally require recalibration since a new main PCB is
already factory calibrated, whereas an input PCB is not.
You have changed the input type through configuration which results in the loss of the previous field
calibration, but restores factory calibration. See Subsection 7.2 Restoring Factory Calibration paragraph
that follows.

7.2 Restoring Factory Calibration
How to restore it
The factory calibration constants for all the input actuation types that can be used with the DR4500A
recorder are stored in its nonvolatile memory. Thus, you can quickly restore the “Factory Calibration” for a
given input actuation type by simply configuring the actuation type through the IN1 TYPE (or IN2 TYPE,
IN3 TYPE, IN4 TYPE) prompt to another type and then changing it back to the original type. See Table
7-1 for the procedure.
ATTENTION
This procedure applies only for factory-installed inputs. Any input that was field-installed must
be field calibrated.

7.6 Calibration Procedure
Introduction
Apply power and allow the recorder to warm up for one hour before you calibrate.
Please read “Set Up Wiring” before beginning the procedure.
Make sure “LOCKOUT” is set to “NONE.” (see Section 3 – Configuration).
The calibration procedure for inputs #1, #2, #3, and #4 are identical. The displays indicate the input
number.
CAUTION
For milliampere inputs, be sure the current source is at zero before switching on the calibrator.
Do not switch the calibrator on/off while it is connected to the recorder’s input.

8.2 Current Proportional Output/Aux Out 2 and 3 Calibration
Introduction
Calibrate the recorder so that the output provides the proper amount of current over the desired range.
The recorder can provide an output current range of from 3.1 to 21 milliamperes and can be calibrated at
4 mA for 0 % of output and 20 mA for 100 % of output or any other values between 2 and 3.1 mA.
Equipment needed
You will need a standard shop type milliammeter, with whatever accuracy is required, capable of
measuring 0 to 20 milliamps.
Calibrator connections
Refer to Figure 8-1 and wire the recorder according to the procedure given in Table 8-1.

8.3 Position Proportional and Three Position Step Output Calibration
Position proportional control
When the DR4500A Recorder has a position proportional control output, calibrate the recorder so that the
increase and decrease relays operate properly with respect to the position of the external feedback
slidewire.

This model only requires that the “Motor Time” be entered as shown in the calibration procedure. FULL
CALIBRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
Equipment needed
None
Connections
Apply power and allow the recorder to warm up 15 minutes before you calibrate.
Leave all field wiring connected to the plugs in connectors J2 and J5 on the appropriate control output
printed circuit board.
Auto mode vs manual mode
There are two ways in which to calibrate Position Proportional control:
AUTO mode or MANUAL mode.
Rules for auto mode vs manual mode
The auto-mode selection must be done at least once before the manual mode will operate properly. Failure
to use the auto-mode procedure will prevent the recorder from going into automatic control mode.
Displayed values
During the auto-mode calibration procedure, the values being displayed are used only to indicate if the
motor is still traveling.
To view the actual calibration value, use the manual mode after the auto-mode is completed. These values
can be changed for purposes of tweaking the calibration.
Procedure
The procedure for calibrating the position proportional output and 3 Position Step control output is listed in
Table 8-3.
Make sure “LOCKOUT” in the Set Up group is set to “NONE.” See Section 3 – Configuration. Also,
“CONTROL 1/2” must be enabled in the Control Set Up group.
For “Three Position Step Control Output models”, do steps 1 and 2 only. Make sure “CONT ALG” =
“3P STEP” in the Control Set Up group.
For “Position Proportional Output”, follow the entire calibration procedure. Make sure “CONT ALG”
= “PID A” and “OUT ALG” = “POSITN” in the Control 1 Set Up group.

Introduction
This section explains how to troubleshoot the DR4500A recorder using self-diagnostic test results and error
messages as well as some visual failure symptoms. Using an optimum replacement unit repair philosophy,
trouble is traced to a printed circuit board (PCB)/hardware assembly level rather than to an individual
PCB/hardware assembly component. While troubleshooting is straightforward, we recommend that only
trained service technicians repair the recorder.

Installation related problems
Read the Installation section in this manual to make sure the DR4500A has been properly installed. The
installation section provides information on protection against electrical noise, connecting external
equipment to the recorder, and shielding and routing external wiring.
ATTENTION
System noise induced into the recorder will result in diagnostic error messages recurring. If the
diagnostic error messages can be cleared, it indicates a “soft” failure and is probably noise
related.
If system noise is suspected, completely isolate the recorder from all field wiring. Use
calibration sources to simulate PV and check all recorder and control functions; that is, Pen
functions, Chart Trace, Gain, Rate, Reset, Output, Alarms, etc.
Application related problems
Review the application of the recorder; then, if necessary, direct your questions to the local sales office.
Hardware and software related problems
Use the troubleshooting error message prompts and recorder failure symptoms to identify typical failures
which may occur in the recorder. Follow the troubleshooting procedures to correct them.

9.2 Troubleshooting Aids
Self diagnostics
The DR4500A recorder runs self-diagnostic tests to monitor the recorder’s general health. The tests are
divided into three main groups and will produce an error message when failed.
An error message can occur
at power-up — run when power is cycled off and on,
during continuous background tests while in normal operation, and
when the Status Tests are requested by the operator.
Table 9-4 lists all the error message prompts that you could see, the reason for the failure, and how to
correct the problem
Visual failure symptoms
Other failures may occur that deal with the power, pen functions, chart rotation, output, or alarms. Refer to
the visual failure symptom in Table 9-5 to determine what is wrong and the troubleshooting procedures to
use to correct the problem.
Check Installation
If a set of symptoms still persists, refer to Section 2 - Installation and ensure proper installation and proper
use of the recorder in the system.
Customer support
If you cannot solve the problem using the troubleshooting procedures listed in this section; get the model
number and serial number from the label on the chart plate, and software version (see "Determining the
software version") then:
call Customer Support Phone Number
1-800-423-9883 USA and Canada

B. Model DR45AW
B.1 Overview
Introduction
The Model DR45AW is a Truline Recorder that has been designed toperform as an Open Channel Flow
Recorder. This addendum describes thespecial features and includes installation and operating requirements
that are specific to the Model DR45AW.
Features
The following is a list of features specific to the Model DR45AW. Controlfunctions are NOT available in
this unit.
The Open Channel Flow Recorder feature is “Record Only” with anoptional pulse output function.The
pulse output counter alarm function provides a configurable timeduration relay output when a selected
incremental change in volume hasoccurred. The pulse output relay can be reset from the keyboard.
Two additional totalizers can be provided, making a total of up to fourtotalizers possible. A manual
adjustable totalizer function can beselected to make corrections to the accumulated value as a result
ofpower outages.
The Truline Flow Recorder is configurable to five different primaryopen channel flow elements:
V NOTCH WEIR
RECTANGULAR WEIR
CIPOLLETTI WEIR
PARSHALL FLUME
PALMER-BOWLUS FLUME
Metric Flow Rate selections are available.
The product provides a configurable low flow cutoff function for eachinput being used for totalization.
This feature allows the user to select apercent of flow range values that inhibits the totalizers
accumulatorwhenever the input signal is less than that selected value. This featureeliminates the
problems incurred because of shifting zero signals andnoise during low flow levels.
