USING THE RECORDER 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: press the button to activate or deactivate the screen light. ATTENTION: if the machine is used at low temperatures, the sensor and the pull recorder must be connected and electrically switched on for approx. 15 min before implementing any operation. The various functions can then be accessed via the keyboard.

The instrument saves 64 cable laying operations and when this value is reached, the DLR300 will write the subsequent operations restarting from the first, overwriting the data saved previously. It is therefore recommended to print or download the saved cable laying operations on a daily basis, deleting them from the memory so as to prevent unpleasant management problems.
