FC SERIES
DATA SHEET
SELF-BALANCING RECORDER
PFA
The FC SERIES self-balancing recorder is capable of continuously recording up to three types of inputs like process signal, DC voltage, current, thermocouple signal, resistance bulb signal, etc. Alarm units for the individual pens, external chart speed selector convenient for plant instrumentation, marking pen and many other optional accessories are prepared inside the self-balancing recorder. It is also usable as a trend recorder for 18 input points when combined with input selector (Type: PFC).
FEATURES
1. Compact design measuring 96 mm wide by 144 mm high (front panel) by 400 mm deep (casing). 2. The recorder uses a folding type chart, of which one stack allows continuous recording for a month at a standard chart speed of 20 mm/h. 3. Data are indicated in bargraphs with color ribbon. 4. The servo-mechanism consists of a contactless induction potentiometer and a powerful coreless-motor, thereby assuring high reliability. 5. Chart speed is set accurately and can be switched easily by a combination of a clock circuit comprising a crystal oscillator and a pulse-motor. 6. The recorder can operate within a wide DC voltage range of 20 to 30V, or commonly at 50 and 60 Hz with an AC power supply. 7. The recording pen is a cartridge type felt-tip pen requiring a minimum of maintenance.
