Choosing a chart recorder for a data acquisition setup usually comes down to one question: can you get reliable logging without paying for more than you need? That question matters even more when the unit is used. The Honeywell DR4300 Truline Chart Recorder DR4312-22EE-G0100-0000-0000-00-000-E0, listed at USD 550.00, puts that trade-off front and center.
Quick Verdict
If you need a functional Honeywell DR4300 for data acquisition and can supply the small essentials yourself, this used unit is a practical option. The 30-day warranty gives you some protection, but the limited accessories and cosmetic variability mean this is not a ready-to-run package.
Who It Suits
This recorder suits a buyer who already has a power cord and small necessities on hand, or who is comfortable sourcing them separately. It also suits a team that wants a Honeywell Truline recorder and is okay with a used unit. If you need a completely wired, accessory-ready recorder, this probably won't satisfy that need.
What Stands Out from the Listed Details
The price is clear: USD 550.00. The unit is described as used, in good condition, with minor cosmetic wear, so you can plan for some scuffs or marks. The DR4312-22EE-G0100-0000-0000-00-000-E0 model string points to the DR4300 Truline series. Multiple units are available, which is useful if you need more than one recorder, though it also means serial numbers will vary.
Meaningful Trade-offs
The biggest trade-off is accessories: this recorder does not come with a power cord or any additional accessories, and some units are missing the red/purple tips. If you do not have those parts, you will need to sort them out before the recorder can log data. Another trade-off is cosmetic variability: the condition is described as good with minor wear, but with multiple units in play, the exact wear pattern will vary. The 30-day warranty helps offset some risk, but it does not change the fact that this is a used instrument.
Product Notes
Honeywell DR4300 Truline Chart Recorder DR4312-22EE-G0100-0000-0000-00-000-E0
The main reason to choose this unit is that it gives you access to the Honeywell DR4300 Truline platform at a used-equipment price. The limitation is that some units may not include the red/purple tips, and the serial number you receive may not match the one in the photo. If you can handle those details, the condition disclosure makes this a reasonable choice for data acquisition recording.
Bottom Line
If you are shopping for a data acquisition recorder and are prepared to handle the accessory and cosmetic trade-offs, this used Honeywell DR4300 is a sensible buy. If you need a complete, accessory-ready recorder delivered exactly as pictured, the trade-offs are too significant.
