The RD8300 is the most advanced

paperless recording systemavailable. It incorporates the latestin measurement, communication,interface and processingtechnologies to deliver unmatchedperformance for your dataacquisition application.The RD8300 series utilizes a highcontrast 142 mm (5.6") color ActiveMatrix TFT LCD display with arugged touch screen. Use a fingeror the onboard stylus, if you prefer,to perform data entry and systemnavigation. The front panel is alsofully compliant to IP65 for use industy or wet areas. An intuitive icondriven menu system guides the userthrough easy to follow setup andcontrol screens. The display builderfeature makes setting up customscreens extremely simple. Designup to 50 custom displays containingvarious combinations of indicatortypes such as horizontal and verticalbar graphs, large and small digitalindicators and horizontal or verticaltrends. On-screen help is availablethroughout the menu system toassist you during setup and use.

When it comes to storing data, theRD8300 is extremely flexible. Datacan be stored to the non-volatileinternal flash RAM or any of theavailable storage drives includingCompactFlash™ and USB providedthere is media present.Programmable record start and stoptimes allow the user to start andstop recording at predeterminedintervals. Data may also be storedto a remote PC via Ethernet usingthe optional Exhibitor Software. Inaddition, the built in OPC Serverallows any OPC compliant software

client to connect to, communicatewith and retrieve data. The RD8300utilizes many layers of security toprotect the integrity of your storeddata. All data is stored in anencrypted binary format whichprevents data tampering andmaximizes compression. The frontaccess media door is lockable toprevent unauthorized access to theinternal removable storage media.There are 3 levels of passwordprotection to prevent unauthorizedentry into critical recorder functionmenus. To ensure that data files are

completely error free the RD8300has a built-in rechargeable NickelMetal Hydride battery backupsystem that constantly monitors theincoming power source. In the eventof a power loss or power dip, theRD8300 seamlessly switches overto the internal power and begins asafe and controlled systemshutdown. When power is restoredthe recorder immediately returns tothe last state of operation. Thisguarantees that data files will neverbe corrupted by unexpected powerconditions.

The innate feature of handwriting notes and comments on thechart of paper recorders had been lost with the onset of videographic recorders until the arrival of the RD8300. Using thehigh-resolution touch screen interface and the integral stylusyou can once again make notes or comments directly on thechart. This on-screen annotation is stored within the data filedirectory and can be recalled and displayed on the recorder orin Exhibitor Software.

Make notes, sign files or make othergraphic indications directly on the virtualchart in your own handwriting, or use thebuilt-in keyboard to type messages on thescreen. Your notes are stored within thedata file directory for future review.

Powerful Math PackageThe onboard math package isextremely powerful. It allows theuser to input complex polynomialequations using constants, customfunctions and variable inputsobtained from live channels. Theresultant information can bedisplayed and recorded as a realtime channel. Using the intuitivecalculated channel setup menu theuser enters in the formula and canperform a test to make sure theformula is accurate.

Unique SoundsUnique .wav files may be uploadedand played through the internalspeaker to alert of specific types ofalarms. Use any .wav file, evencustomize your own spoken wordannouncements. In areas wherethere is a high level of ambientnoise the alarm .wav files can beoutput to a P.A. system or amplifiedspeakers via the rear mountedaudio connector. Each alarmsetpoint can have a unique soundfile associated with it. In the alarmsetup menu simply select the .wavfile you want to play when the alarmis active.

Remote ControlThe remote control feature extendsthe graphic user interface of theRD8300 Series directly onto yourlocal PC. Use remote control andyour desktop PC’s mouse andkeyboard to view real time data,change settings, start and stoprecording or virtually anything elseyou can do with the recorders touchscreen. Across the plant or acrossthe planet, remote controlempowers you with virtualpresence.Using the record setup menu, theuser can select which channels torecord, the sample storage rate,whether to record alarms and/orevents, and the start/stop time anddate for the record session. Thelocation of the data file is selected inthis menu along with the data filename. The user can also configurethe unit to start or stop recording onan alarm level or an externallytriggered input.

Exhibitor SoftwareNetwork OverviewExhibitor Software is an extremelypowerful set of tools thatcompliments the RD8300 and other OPC compliant devices.Incorporating functions to simplify

data management via searching,reviewing, printing, or exportinghistoric data, Exhibitor Softwareallows real-time monitoring andrecording independently as well,while historic recording is notaffected. Also featured is the OPC

Client which enables the user tobuild custom screens selectingvarious display elements and datafrom multiple OPC Servers,including devices other thanRD8300’s. (Windows™ XP/2000Compatible).

Play unique sound files for each alarm bysimply selecting the file you want to playwhen you set up the alarm.

Goone step further, and recordreal time data to your PC.

Graphical ReviewThe composite graphical view can display all inputs and calculated data from aparticular recording session.The user is able to manipulatethe graph to make it easy tosee interaction betweenrecorded channels, turnchannels off and on, changecolor schemes, expand,compress, zoom, and print.Individual channels can bedisplayed for detailed analysis.There is a summary functionfor the individual channelswhich provides minimum,maximum, averages and timeand date for the records. Thesame analysis tools used forthe multi-channel graph areused to scroll through data,zoom, review and expand thesingle channel graphs.
