Honeywell DR4300

The Honeywell DR4300 is a microprocessor-based circular chart recorder engineered for continuous process variable monitoring and control. It accepts universal inputs across thermocouple, RTD, and analog signal ranges, delivering measurement accuracy from ±0.10% to ±0.50% of span depending on configuration. The 10-inch (250 mm) circular chart platform supports single or dual-pen operation with field-adjustable speed and range settings, backed by over 200 preprinted chart options and disposable fiber-tip ink cartridges.
