The MRC 5000 was designed with simplicity and functionality in mind. Its operation is so easy that all of its instructions fit on one 4” X 6” card. It comes in two basic versions for trend recording — one or two pens.

The straightforwardness of the MRC 5000 is immediately evident just by looking at the unit’s face. The operator interface, a four-digit display with three-button keypad, is made for simple daily operation and easy configuration. A 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. As if configuring the MRC 5000 wasn’t easy enough already, there’s also an optional configurator port for ultimate programming ease. Using the optional PC program, parameters can be modified, saved, and downloaded in seconds.

A quick look inside the casing and at the chart itself also speaks to the straightforward, functional design of the MRC 5000. You will find just one jumper to configure each port! The two pens, each with configurable spans, are positioned smoothly without any slidewire feedback; this simplifies design and improves reliability. In addition, the 10” chart rotates at the speed you select.

Finding a place to install this recorder is easy, with its compact 2.5” panel depth and short 1.3” protrusion from the front panel. And, don’t worry about harsh environments—the MRC 5000 comes standard with a NEMA 3 rating.
