Applications and brief description
The LINAX 4000M is a microprocessor-controlled continuous-line
recorder. It comes in two different versions:
– 1 to 4 line channels,
– 1 to 3 line channels and a printer channel.
The printer channel permits the recording of a measured value
and generates text printouts. The measuring channels are electri-
cally isolated from each other and are floating. The recorder is
connected to transducers and to sensors such as thermocouples
or resistance thermometers. Standard temperature sensor curves
are stored in the firmware of the recorder and linearized with high
accuracy.
In the version "Standard measuring range", the recorder is
matched to the measuring task by means of keys of the display
and control panel or via the RS-485 interface. The version "Uni-
versal measuring range" requires additional hardware matching
by means of jumpers.

Important information for your safety!
It must absolutely be read and followed!
A condition of correct and safe operation of the continuous-
line recorder LINAX 400M is that it is transported and stored
in a suitable manner, competently installed and started as
well as correctly operated and carefully serviced.
Only those persons must work on the recorder who are famil-
iar with installation, startup, operation and servicing of com-
parable equipment and who have the qualification required
for their work.
The contents of these operating instructions and the safety
notes affixed to the unit are to be observed.
The regulations, standards and directives mentioned in these
operating instructions are for the Federal Republic of Ger-
many. When using the recorder in other countries, relevant
national rules must be followed.
The recorder is constructed and tested according to
DIN EN 61 010-1 "Safety requirements for electronic measur-
ing instruments", it left the factory in safe and proper condi-
tion. To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation,
the safety notes in these operating instructions with the
heading "Caution" must be followed. Otherwise, persons
could be endangered and the unit itself as well as other
equipment and facilities could be damaged.
If the information contained in these operating instructions
should not be sufficient in certain cases, the GOSSEN-
METRAWATT Service will be glad to provide further informa-
tion.
