CHINO AH4000 Hybrid Strip Chart Recorder

Hybrid recorder with bright LCD (digital + bar graph), 6/12/24-point inputs, full multi-range DC voltage / TC / RTD, 6-color wire-dot chart, optional SD card logging, and USB plus optional RS-232C/422A/485/Ethernet.

Key advantages

Full multi-range — ~10 DC voltage, 36 TC, and 12 RTD kinds (58 total); set per channel.
6 / 12 / 24 points — scan 1 s/6 pts or 2 s/12–24 pts; 180 mm effective chart width.
Hybrid recording — 6-color wire-dot trace + digital/list/alarm/message printing; SD card (sold separately).
Communications — USB standard; optional RS-232C/422A/485/Ethernet (web settings / email alarm on Ethernet).

Typical applications

Process trend recording where a paper chart archive is still required.
Multi-point temperature/voltage logging with alarm relays.
Hybrid paper + SD/USB data workflows with CHINO package software.

Selection guide

Points — 6, 12, or 24 measuring points.
Accuracy — ±0.1% ±1 digit class on most V/TC/RTD ranges (see OEM datasheet for exceptions).
Chart — Fan-fold 200 mm total width / 20 m; speed 1…1500 mm/h.
Alarms — Up to 4 levels/channel; optional mechanical relay packs (a/c contacts).
Power — 100–240 Vac; max ~65 VA; ambient 0…50 °C; IP54 front; ~7.6 kg.
Options — Remote contacts; alarm outputs; Ethernet/serial; SD 512 MB–2 GB; shunt resistors for mA.

Common mistakes

Ordering without SD card when electronic logging is required (card sold separately).
Forgetting shunt resistors for DC current inputs.
Underspecifying alarm relay point count vs channel count.
