19、ts and by users or independent testing establishments to verify manufacturers performance specifications. The test conditions in this standard, for example, the range of ambient temperatures and power supply, represent those which commonly arise in use. Consequently, the values specified herein shal
20、l be used where no other values are specified by the manufacturer. The tests specified in this standard are not necessarily sufficient for instruments specifically designed for unusually arduous duties. Conversely, a restricted series of tests may be suitable for instruments designed to perform with
21、in a more limited range of conditions. It will be appreciated that the closest communication should be maintained between the evaluating body and the manufacturer. Note should be taken of the manufacturers specifications for the instrument when the test programme is being decided, and the manufactur
22、er should be invited to comment on both the test programmes and the results.

23、C 60873 provides methods for determining the performance of all electrical and pneumatic analogue chart recorders operating from a standardized signal which may be used in process control. It is intended that continuous and dotted-line traces, multiple-pen and multiple-channel instruments should be
24、covered. Some tests should not apply to all instruments and additional tests may be required for certain types of recorders. The object of this standard is to specify uniform methods of test for the evaluation of the performance of electrical and pneumatic analogue chart recorders operating from a s
25、tandardized signal which may be used in process control. When a full evaluation in accordance with this standard is not required, those tests which are required should be performed and the results reported in accordance with those parts of the standard which are relevant. It should be made clear in
26、such a report that the evaluation reported is not a full evaluation and the parts omitted should be indicated. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

31、1, IEC 61298-2 and IEC 61298-3 together with the following additional definitions, apply. 3.1 friction effect in the case of continuous line recorders, effect which friction of the marking device on the chart may have on the record even though the chart is moving slowly 3.2 measuring range region be
32、tween the limits within which a quantity is measured, or received, expressed by stating the lower and upper range values (for example, 0 Pa, 20 Pa). NOTE Instruments may be supplied with manual or automatic means of adjusting the range. As used in this standard, the term “range“ and the definitions
33、below apply to the characteristics of the instruments for a specified setting of the adjustment means. The zero value of the measured variable is “elevated“ if it is greater than the lowest range value and “suppressed“ if it is less than the lowest range value 3.3 output position of the marking devi

If an indicator is directly connected to the marking device, the indicated value is tested as a second output (see 10.4 for remarks on parallax) 3.4 recorder instrument which records, with a pen or other marking device, the instantaneous, effective or average value of the signal 3.

O
38、ther specific procedures can be found below. 4.1 Selection of ranges for test Where there are switched ranges (or dial settings), for example, gain, the tests shall be repeated to cover all ranges. Where the DUT is supplied calibrated for use, the first set of tests shall be carried out without adju
39、stment. a) The recorder shall be put into operation according to the manufacturers instructions; in particular, those relating to the preliminary adjustments. NOTE The chart and ink supplied by the manufacturer for the recorders should be used for all tests. b) Unless otherwise stated, where the spa
40、n is adjustable other than to take up manufacturing tolerances, the tests should be carried out with the span adjustment set approximately at the manufacturers stated minimum and maximum and at an intermediate value. c) Unless otherwise stated, where the zero adjustment is adjustable other than to t
41、ake up manufacturing tolerances, such as devices equipped with means for suppression or elevation of zero, the tests should be carried out with the elevation/suppression adjustment set for its minimal effect, then at its extreme values. If the extent of adjustment is more than twice the maximum span
42、, tests should also be carried out with the adjustment set approximately at the arithmetic mean of the two extreme values of elevation and/or suppression (see also 4.1.1.2 of IEC 61298-2). NOTE Testing of an instrument with provision for substantial adjustment of both span and zero in accordance wit
43、h 4.1b) and 4.1c) may require an impractically large number of tests. Preliminary tests should be conducted to determine the effect of changing span and zero adjustments on the characteristic being measured so that redundant tests can be eliminated from the test programme in cases where the characte
44、ristic can be inferred reliably from fewer tests. For example, hysteresis and dead band may not be significantly affected by selection of the lower and upper range value if the span is held constant and may often be calculated for different spans from measurements at a single-span setting. In any ca
45、se, the report should clearly indicate relevant values of the measured parameters for each setting of the adjustments so that the values of measured error, hysteresis, dead band, etc., are all referenced to the same adjustment of the recorder. 4.2 Zero and span adjustment Zero and span should be adj
46、usted to make the actual characteristic conform closely to ideal values at the upper and lower range limits before carrying out each test specified in this standard. When this is done, the fact shall be stated in the evaluation report. 4.3 Information to be reported Unless otherwise agreed, the test
47、 results shall be expressed as percentages of output span. When performance characteristics are specified, they shall be tabulated beside the actual test results. The limit of error of the measuring systems used for the test shall be stated in the test report and should be smaller than, or equal to,
48、 one-quarter of the stated limit of error of the instrument tested. 4.4 Other procedures a) An adequate time, as specified by the manufacturer, shall be allowed after switching on the power supply in order to allow temperature within the instrument to stabilize. In the absence of a manufactures spec
49、ification, a period of at least 30 min should be allowed.
