If installing multiple units, how far apart should I space them?
(ns-faq-mr-4001-spec)
The µR series can be used close together. There is no specified spacing. However please see the panel cutout dimensions for each model in the specifications.
Is the front panel dust and splash proof?
(ns-faq-mr-4002-spec)
It conforms to the DIN40050-IP54 dust and splash proof specification.
I want to record to chart paper about once a month, but what chart feed speed (chart speed) should I set?
(ns-faq-mr-4003-setting)
The length of the chart paper is 16 m (16000 mm). One month is 720 hours, therefore if you set a chart speed of 16000/720 = 22 mm/hr or less, you can record for a month. Pen model: From 5 mm/hr —12000 mm/hr, select 20 mm/h. Dot model: In th...
The input range setting (1-5 V range) has a low cut setting item, but what does that mean?
(ns-faq-mr-4005-spec)
Low cut means to cut out anything less than 0% of the recording span. For example since the error is large when measuring small quantities of flow on an orifice flow meter or other device, this function prevents any impossible negative values from oc...
While recording to chart paper, can I also record the data on a PC via communications?
(ns-faq-mr-4006-spec)
Yes. For simultaneous recording, you must add the Ethernet communication interface option (suffix code /C7) to the µR20000. You will also need to install DAQLOGGER (model WX101) and Gate-µR (model WX1) on the PC. With the µR20000 an...

The clock accuracy is ±100 ppm (parts per million). The clock can be off by up to ±8.64 seconds per day, or about 4 minutes per month. If you add the remote control function option (suffix code /R1), you can set the time via external co...
If alarms (such as upper limit alarms) are active, is there a function that delays them (for example, outputting the alarm 5 minutes after the occurrence of the abnormality)?
(ns-faq-mr-4007-spec)
Yes, this is called the Alarm Delay function. You can set the alarm delay in the range of 1 to 3600 seconds.
What does "effective recording width" mean?
(ns-faq-mr-4009-spec)
This is the width of waveforms that can be printed on the chart paper. It is 100 mm on the µR10000, and 180 mm on the µR20000.
When a µR20000 with the RS-422/485 communication interface option (suffix code /C3) communicates with another controller via Modbus/RTU, can the other controller set the range on the µR20000?
(ns-faq-mr-4010-setting)
Modbus communication allows sending/receiving of data only. To set the µR20000 range setting, you need the µR20000 dedicated commands rather than Modbus communication.
When I do a list printout, the chart speed that is printed is "75 mm/h (2 25 mm/h)." What does that "2" mean?
(ns-faq-mr-4012-spec)
That means it is the second feed speed. With external contact (optional) you can switch the feed speed, but even if you don't have external contact there is still a second feed speed setting, so it is printed out in the list.
