Recorder/Controller/Profiler

DESCRIPTION

The MRC7000 Recorder/Controller is a microproces­sor based circular chart instrument capable of
measuring, displaying, recording and controlling up to
two process variables from a variety of inputs.

Record and control functions, alarm settings and
other parameters are easily configured via the keys
on the front cover and self-prompting displays.
