(HR scale of 50–210 BPM).
Refer to “Chapter 7, Strip Chart Recorder” for more information about the different

CAUTIONS
LOADING PAPER—The instructions for loading paper into a
120 or 170 Series Monitor are different than the instructions for
loading paper into other Corometrics monitors with which you
may be familiar. Improper loading can cause paper jams. Follow
the instructions carefully.
PAPER TYPE—Do not use non-Corometrics paper or paper
designed for use with other Corometrics monitors. Using paper
other than catalog number (REF) 4305AAO/BAO/CAO/DAO:
may produce inferior print quality; could result in permanent
damage to the recorder’s print head; and may void your warranty.
STORAGE/TRANSPORT—Paper should be installed in the
monitor’s strip chart recorder at all times. This reduces particle
build up on the printhead and facilitates opening the recorder door.
To protect against paper jams, the 170 Series recorder contains a paper-loading
sensor which detects if the paper has been incorrectly loaded. When the recorder
detects a paper-load–error condition:
 the recorder will not print;
 the Record indicator flashes on and off every second; and
 three short beeps (low tones) sound every three seconds at a fixed volume.
The most likely cause of a paper-load–error condition is that you loaded the paper
with the black squares facing up. The correct method is to load the paper with the
black squares down, as explained later in this section.
