3. USING THE RECORDER
3.1 POSITIONING AND CONNECTING TO THE MACHINE
Connect the DLR300 to the machine that is to be monitored, using the wire supplied together with
the recorder.
Implement the electrical connections between the recording unit and the machine with
the engine switched off so as to prevent interference with the instruments.
ATTENTION: it is recommended to use the instrument on machines that pull back
the rope so as to detect the max. pull applied on the line.
3.2 SWITCH-ON
Switch the instrument on from the ON/OFF selector on the rear panel of the recording unit.
The serial number, version, date of the software and the checksum of the EPROM will appear on
the display for a few seconds when the instrument is switched on.
Serial number: x
V. x. x [dd.mm.yy] Ck:xxxx
Where:
⇒ Serial number = the serial number of the instrument
⇒ V.x.x = version of the software installed
⇒ [dd.mm.yy] = the date when the software was created
⇒ Ck: xxxx = checksum
If the DLR300 malfunctions, the version of the software and its checksum must be
communicated
After a few seconds, the current day, date and time appear on the display:
dd dd/mm/yy hh:mm
Where:
⇒ dd = day of the week
⇒ dd = day – mm = month – yy = year
⇒ hh = hour – mm = minutes
