The "ON/OFF" key turns the unit on and off. Alarm and
calibration settings are restored to the most recent values
when the unit is turned on. If the unit is using AC power
and power fails, the unit will switch to battery power
without interrupting the recording capabilities. If power
fails when the battery is not present, the pen will remain
on the chart in recording position.
PEN HOME (also DOWN ARROW):
If the pen is located outside the chart, press the "HOME"
key to move pen to recording position. Press the
"HOME" key with the pen in recording position, and the

The "PEN HOME" key is also used as a "DOWN

time setting. Press the "CHART ROTATION" key to rotate

clip on the 1 thermocouple unit and the blue pen aligned
with the timing clip on the 2 thermocouple unit). The
chart rotation will reach full speed after a few seconds of
holding down the key. NOTE: Do not attempt to rotate
the chart manually. The "CHART ROTATION" key is also
used as an "UP ARROW" key to increase values when
setting alarms or calibration values.
