YOKOGAWA DX1004-3-4-2/M1/R1/S2
Product Introduction:
The DX1004 is a 4-channel universal input paperless recorder from Yokogawa’s DX1000 series. The suffix code /M1/R1/S2 denotes specific configuration: M1 = Modbus RTU slave communication / R1 = 1 relay alarm output / S2 = 2nd alarm configuration variant. This recorder replaces traditional chart recorders with digital recording, data logging, and remote monitoring capabilities. It accepts thermocouple, RTD, voltage, current, and frequency inputs.

Installation Requirements:
- DIN rail mounting (35 mm standard rail)
- Panel cutout: 92 mm × 92 mm
- Ensure proper grounding of the recorder chassis
- Shielded twisted-pair cables recommended for TC/RTD inputs

Precautions:
- Do not apply voltage exceeding 30 VDC between any input terminals
- Do not exceed 250 VAC between input terminals and chassis ground
- Use isolated power supply when connecting to systems with high ground potential difference
- Calibrate input channels annually per Yokogawa recommended procedure
- Replace backup battery (CR2032) every 2 years to maintain clock and memory retention
