Supported Applications

The Omega CT7000 Series consists of microprocessor-based circular chart recorders designed to measure, display, and control up to two process variables. These hybrid paper recorders are configured for applications requiring continuous data logging on a 254 mm (10") circular chart alongside digital monitoring via front-panel LED displays.

Documented measurement capabilities include temperature sensing using thermocouples or RTDs, as well as electrical signal acquisition from millivolt and current inputs. The series supports process control functions including on/off and PID control in specific model configurations.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The CT7000 Series operates within an ambient temperature range of 0 to 55°C (32 to 131°F) with a humidity rating of 0 to 90% RH, non-condensing. Storage temperatures are specified from -40 to 65°C (-40 to 149°F). The unit features a gasketed cover constructed from black structural foam and weighs up to 9.1 kg (20 lb).

Performance specifications vary by input type:

• Thermocouple Types J, K, T, E, N and RTD accuracy: ±0.25% of reading + 1° @ 25°C (77°F)
• Type R, S, B, C Thermocouples accuracy: ±0.25% of span @ 25°C (77°F)
• mVdc and Vdc accuracy: ±0.25% of scaled span plus 1 least-significant digit
• Ambient Temperature Error Limit: 0.01% of span per °C (1.8°F) deviation from 25°C (77°F)
• Record Error Limit: ±0.5% of chart span or better, typically; ±1.0% of chart span maximum
• Pen Response (Full Scale Deflection): 20 s

The recorder supports a vibration rating of 0.5 to 100 Hz @ 0.2 g.
