Fuji Electric PHE Specifications

PHE

1- OR 2-CHANNEL INKJET STRIP-CHART RECORDER

Fuji Electric offers the latest in low-cost inkjet recording with the PHE Inkjet Series Recorder. This 100mm recorder, built with

polymer plastic mold technology to make it lightweight and durable, boasts many useful features. The PHE, which is available in

one or two channel recording, offers continuous analog trending on the same axis which eliminates the phase shift syndrome

exhibited by conventional pen recorders. In addition, it has many digital printing capabilities—periodic data, scale line, alarm

condition, burnout, and parameter printing.

Featuring an affordable inkjet print mechanism in a strip chart recorder, the PHE prints crisp, no-smudge characters without

physical contact with the paper. This printhead sprays the ink in tiny dots to create a trace in vivid colors for one or two channel

continuous recording. Utilizing a piezoelectric element, the PHE recorder creates stunning reports and print quality for the same

price as a pen recorder.

While analog pen recorders have many moving parts and frequently require maintenance and repairs in order to keep them in

working condition, the PHE recorders are extremely reliable and will give you years of trouble-free operation because they have a

third of the parts of conventional strip chart recorders. If that’s not enough, the PHE is backed by a three-year warranty.

So, if you’re looking for an economical recorder that offers many of the features found in higher-priced instruments, look no further

than the Fuji Electric PHE.

Periodic Print-Out: Printing start line, channel
number, measured value, chart speed, date/time.
Printing intervals are automatically determined by
chart speed
Scale Print-Out: Scale lines for sequential
channels are printed alternately with periodic
print-outs. Printing intervals are automatically
determined by chart speed

POWER REQUIREMENT Rated Power Supply Voltage: 100 to120V AC or

200 to 240V AC
Range of Operating Voltage: 85 to 132V AC or
180 to 264V AC
Supply Frequency: 50/60Hz
Power Consumption: At 100 to 120V AC, 200 to
240V AC. Without options – approximately 13 VA.
