Microprocessor Based Portable Universal Circular Chart SUPERECORDER™

Retaining the legendary CT-485 design, the CTXL Series comprises state-of-the-art circular chart recorders, available in 3 models— CTXL-TRH, CTXL-DTC, and CTXL-DPR.

The CTXL-TRH is a temperature/ relative humidity chart recorder with a temperature range of -17 to 49ºC (2 to 120ºF) and a humidity range of 2 to 98%. The CTXL-DTC is a dual thermocouple input chart recorder that accepts J, K, or T type thermocouple probes. The CTXL-DPR is a dual-process input chart recorder that accepts 0 to 1 Vdc, 0 to 5 Vdc, 0 to 10 Vdc, 0 to 20 mA, and 4 to 20 mA inputs.

All models have dual-display backlit LCDs that show 2 inputs in real time. The charted data is stored in non-volatile memory and can be downloaded to a PC for printout. Functions include audiovisual alarms with built-in relay contacts; real-time clock; monitoring of the minimum, maximum, and average values; 1-, 7-, or 32-day recording; and chart rescaling.

The high and low alarm setpoints for the 2 channels are configurable through the front-panel keypad. There are 2 built-in relays for high alarms, and 2 additional voltage outputs power external mechanical relays for low-alarm conditions.

Patented features include doublesided chart paper and the magnetic hub. And the linear pen and chart drives make it easy to understand the charts. All models come with a stabilizing arm for benchtop operation and a decorative foot cover for wall-mount applications.

For greater security, a hidden key (white box) enables/disables access to the front keypad. This will prevent unauthorized users from changing the recorder settings.

Note : Temperature/humidity sensor probe not recommended for use in corrosive environments.
