The Partlow MRC 5000 circular chart recorder was designed with the latest innovations in recording technology, enclosures, and functionality. It is slim, trim, and simple to operate. The MRC 5000 is a digital circle chart recorder capable of measuring, recording, and controlling up to two process variables from a variety of inputs. Two basic versions of the MRC5000 are available for trend recording – one or two pens.

The straightforward operation of the Partlow circular chart recorder is immediately evident from the unit's face. The operator interface, a four-digit display with three-button keypad, is designed for simple daily operation and easy configuration. The MRC5000's clear prompting scheme provides rapid access to all configuration and operation data. The operator interface also provides access to test and calibration facilities with a convenient dual function MODE switch.

A quick look inside the casing and at the chart itself highlights the straightforward, functional design of the MRC 5000. Only one jumper is required to configure each port. The two pens, each with configurable spans, are positioned smoothly without any slidewire feedback; this simplifies the design and improves long-term reliability. In addition, the 10 inch chart rotates at user-selectable speeds.

Installation of the MRC 5000 is simplified by its compact 2.5 inch panel depth and short 1.3 inch protrusion from the front panel. For harsh environments, the MRC 5000 comes standard with a NEMA 3 rating, with optional NEMA 4X upgrade available.

Applications for the MRC 5000 include:

The MRC 5000 is ideal for basic digital recording applications with shallow depth panel requirements.
