8. OPERATING PROCEDURE
8.1. Open the RMT door and take the tape drive mechanism out, for what press
simultaneously the two levers situated in the both sides of the mechanism. Released mechanism
turns forward and can be easily taken out.
8.2. Installation of the recording devices
8.2.1. Switch the device on.
8.2.2. Insert the recording device for the first measuring channel in the holder. Repeat
operations for two other measuring channels. The ink of recording devices has different colors for
each measuring channel.
Recording devices removal during their replacement is made in the reversed order.
8.2.3. The auxiliary paper stopper for the electric motor (used during RMT storage or
transportation) should be removed during the above described operations with the recording devices
8.3. The diagram moving speed is controlled by the switch located in the RMT bottom part.
During this operation the tape drive mechanism should be taken out.
With the help of the switch it is possible to choose one from two numbers(lines) of speeds of
the diagram moving: 10+240 mm / hour or 10+240 mm / minute (600+1400 mm / hour).
Dependence of one plotting paper roll operating time duration and of time of record presence
in the field of vision is indicated in the table 4.

8.4. Preparation for working with rolled plotting paper
8.4.1. Open a roll of plotting paper. Insert the giving spool into the roll and establish them in
grooves located behind the top part of the tape drive mechanism.
8.4.2. Pass the beginning of plotting paper under the holding rod, then stretch the paper atop
of the transporting gear rollers, pass it under the transparent transport rod, under the bottom
directing bar and insert it in the slots of the reeling up (accepting) spool.
8.4.3. Turning the receiving spool approximately on 2 turnovers, roll the paper up very
tightly.
8.5. Insert the tape drive mechanism into the grooves of the forepart of the put forward RMT.
Establish by rotation the tape drive mechanism in its initial position.
