The RD100A (100mm) RD1800 (180mm) Series programmable chart recorders provide continuous monitoring of your essential process. These recorders are designed for ease of use, featuring universal inputs of thermocouple, RTD or voltage inputs. The front panel of each unit features an analog bar graph and digital display for easy monitoring.
The simplified operation of these powerful recorders allow for universal inputs that are fully programmable from the front panel. Universal inputs allows you to select inputs freely on-site without setting DIP switches. Simple front panel keypad operations program each input individually for thermocouple, RTD, dc voltage (mV or V) or contact input for operation recording.
The recorders are designed for ease of use. In addition to the clear, easy-to-read analog chart, each recorder prints out on the chart paper the date and time, channel number, scale marking, tag number, the proper engineering units, chart speed, alarm value and complete program list at programmed intervals or on demand.
The RD100A/RD1800 recorders utilize a non-contact ultrasonic pen position transducer for higher accuracy when compared to standard pen mechanisms. The wear-free brushless dc servo-motor completely eliminates motor brushes, leadwire and connectors, and is directly mounted to the printed circuit board. These two features contribute to the long, trouble-free life of the recorders.
Optional Communication Output
The optional RS422A interface lets you connect up to 16 units on a multidrop line to a single host computer for data logging or input/output of any setup parameter.
Versatile Alarm and Remote Control Functions, Optional
Versatile alarm functions are included to select up to four of the following six alarm types, high/low limit, deviation high/low limit, rate of change high/low, each can be programmed for each individual channel. Optional alarm relay contact outputs are available in four and six point configurations with versatile front panel selectable feature.
The remote control feature comes with the alarm relays and lets you select any five of the following remote control functions on site through the front keypad; recording start/stop; chart speed change; manual printout start; message printout start (up to five user defined messages).
