Page 7: Section 1: Preface
Section 1: Preface Preface Thank you for choosing a Honeywell X Series recorder Thank you for purchasing the newest in our range of electronic data recording for Honey- well X Series Advanced Graphic Recorders. The Minitrend QX, Multitrend SX and eZtrend QXe paperless chart recorders are the latest development of the solid-state replacement for traditional paper recorders.
Page 8: Safety
Safety The X Series range of instruments is compliant with the requirements of BS EN 61010- 1:2001 “Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Labo- ratory Use” and UL 61010C-1 and CSA 22.2-1010.1, as options. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Page 9: Static Electricity
Static Electricity All circuit boards and electronic modules associated with this recorder contain components which are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge. Should it be necessary to handle such components, appropriate precautions in accordance with ANSI/ESD S20.20 Electrostatic Discharge Control Program Standard, should be observed. Protocols used in this manual Safety and Symbol Identification Table 1.3 :...
Page 10: Hazardous Voltage
• A separable plug, without a locking device, to mate with a socket outlet in the building. 2. Whenever it is likely that protection has been impaired, the recorder should be made inoperative and secured against operation. The manufacturer's service centre should be contacted.
Page 11: Section 2: Installation
Contents Check that the contents and accessories are correct against the order or Model Selection Guide using the model number on the recorder. Contact your authorised Honeywell dis- tributor or Honeywell immediately should there be any query. The contents are based on Unit Model Number ordered and will vary from unit to unit. The following list is provided as a general guide and not specific to any single unit.

NOTICE The eZtrend QXe recorder is an Emissions Class A product. In a domestic environ- ment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. Mechanical Installation Mounting and Viewing Angles Mounting - The Minitrend QX, Multitrend SX and eZtrend QXe recorders have an un- limited mounting angle.

Replacement of fuses should be carried out by qualified service personnel. If the fuse should blow again there is probably a problem elsewhere within the unit and the recorder should be returned for inspection to your authorised Honeywell distributor or Honeywell Service department. Cables To fully comply with the requirements of the CE Mark, all cables connected to the rear of the unit should use screened cable terminated at both ends.
Page 20 CAUTION UNIT DAMAGE CONTROL To protect against component failures the user should fit an external fuse for the DC input power supply. The value should be 4A, time delay, high breaking capacity, mini- mum 60Vdc.rated.

Hardware Installation Device and PC Ethernet connections Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the back of the device to the Ethernet hub. Connect another Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the PC to the Ethernet hub. Hubs or Switches Hubs and Switches come in all different shapes and sizes.

Appendix E: Ethernet Ethernet Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) technology that transmits information between com- puters and other devices, at speeds of 10 or 100 million bits per second (Mbps). Each Ether- net equipped device operates independently of all other devices on the network. All devices attached to an Ethernet network are connected to a shared signalling system.
Page 298: Email
Email General operation of the e-mail system The recorder sends messages for distribution by an e-mail server. The e-mail server is located by its IP address or it’s name as set-up in the communications set-up options. When the recorder sends an e-mail message, it locates the e-mail server and uses SMTP (Simple Message Transfer Protocol) to send the message to the e-mail server.

Data Compression technique. Patent no. US 6,405,155 B2, Fuzzy Logging developed at Honeywell as an alternative to the more standard methods of recording data. Paperless Recorders are primarily used for exception recording. They spend most of their life trending and recording straight lines.
Page 300 Time Input Signal Continuously Sampled data: Fuzzy Logged data: 12 points only! Changing ‘slope’ requires more data points to be logged, to capture the shape correctly. Diagram 1 Points marked: are NOT logged, as they lie on an ‘imaginary’ straight line between points marked: The graph of the Fuzzy Logged data, looks identical to the graph of the sampled data, but has taken less than half the points to build it.
Page 301 What about slowly drifting inputs? Again – No Problem. The algorithm is processed in ‘Real Time’, i.e. as the reading is taken. As it already knows the previous logged readings it can calculate where the next point should be (assuming it’s on a straight line) – if the measured value does not equal the pre- dicted value, the point is logged as it no longer forms part of the straight line.
Page 302 It provides an excellent illustration of how less data points can be used to construct an iden- tical trace. Fuzzy Logged Sampled Logged Diagram 2. Note. This data extract was taken from a 56 hour temperature run, which resulted in approx- imately 1 Mbyte of sample data, and approximately 40 Kbyte of Fuzzy Logged data.
Page 303: Appendix G: F Sub Zero Sterilisation
Appendix G: F sub zero Sterilisation The significance of F The F value is used in the pharmaceutical and related industries in the sterilisation of items. A brief summary is included here to give the essence of the meaning of the terms used. When items are subjected to sterilisation by heating, the rate at which micro-organisms are killed is dependent on the temperature.
Page 304 Because of this small, but increasing contribution to F once T reaches 100 ºC, and the fact that in this trace the temperature exceeds 121.11ºC, the F value reaches 15 at time t = 20 minutes, at which point the sterilisation is complete, and cooling begins. For some applications it is allowed to report the F value that is finally achieved as the sample cools back to the start temperature, in this example 100 ºC, and so the...

Appendix H: Calibration AI Calibration and CJC Calibration For AI and CJC Factory and User Calibration see “Calibration” on page 103 Sensor Compensation Sensor Compensation may be required to improve accuracy on a sub range. This is an ad- justment to the value of the signal input on each channel, based on the Engineering units. To set this up in the recorder see Sensor Comp in the menu for “Analogue In Menu”...
