E. Use with Strip Chart Recorders
The Orion 520Aplus, 525Aplus, 720Aplus, and 920Aplus can be used with
a strip chart recorder. The audio jack on the rear panel provides an output
for a strip chart recorder of absolute millivolts independent of operating
mode. On the 525Aplus, 720Aplus and 920Aplus this output is for channel
one only.
The voltage provided is a direct uncompensated readout of the electrode
response, set at a one to one ratio.
To interface your recorder to the meter, a 2.5 mm phone plug is required.
The tip (inner) connection should be wired to the high side of the recorder
and the sleeve (outer) connection should be wired to the low side of the
recorder. A Switchcraft type 850 or equivalent phone plug is suggested.
