Description

The RD3023/3024/3025 Series recorders are fast, high-performance X-Y recorders, available in either 1- or 2-pen models. The RD3023/3024 are size A3 X-Y recorders, and the RD3025 is an A4 X-Y recorder. These recorders offer high slewing speed and high acceleration. The slewing speed and acceleration of the 1-pen model in the Y-axis is 2200 mm/s (86.6 in/sec) 7.6 G, and 2000 mm/s (78.7 in/sec) 5.1 G in the X-axis (2-pen model is 7.0 G in the Y-axis and 4.5 G in the X-axis).

Excellent phase and frequency characteristics ensure precision recording of fast-changing signals. For optimal convenience, these recorders come with easy-to-use, felt-tip pen cartridges, a 10-position offset input dial, 16 speeds of internal time base (standard on RD3023/3024, optional on RD3025), remote control of sweep start and reset, and pen lift by external contact or TTL level signals.

The arrangement of controls on the front panel is neat and logical, including convenient servo ON/OFF polarity reversal switches, and preamplifiers separated from the input terminals for safety input wiring. The noise performance of these recorders is excellent, eliminating the low-pass filter switch.
