820
This standard chart drive offers accuracy and reliability for precision measurements. The quartz
movement concept provides robustness, and it was designed to operate into a temperature range of -40° F
up to +180° F. The universal mounting plate makes it easy to install into all commonly use recorders.

► Accurate / Reliable
Engineered and manufactured by SONCEBOZ, the timing of the CDS 820 is based on the inherent precision of
the quartz movement concept. Scrupulous attention to detail resulted in a unit with no axial output shaft side play
or angular backlash, which ensures an exact pen stroke. The high quality of the CDS 820 makes it the most
trouble free of any available chart drive. A 1.5 V alkaline “C” battery can be used to power the chart drive. The
battery compartment is separated from the drive mechanism. A sturdy housing made of durable material and
sealed by an acid resistant O-ring provides a hermetic enclosure. The CDS 820 is freezer tested to a temperature
of -40° F.
► Versatile / Convenient
The CDS 820 incorporates 11 switch selectable speeds which make it usable for different applications. The
universal mounting plate makes the CDS 820 fit in all major brands of recorders. No additional standoffs are
needed. Retrofit/ conversion can be performed easily in a shop or in the field. A ¼ diameter output shaft with flat and
the threaded Foxboro shaft are available from stock. Other shafts are available upon request. The field technicians
requested the important new features of the CDS 820. A rugged rotating speed selector for 11 speeds. Fast test
speeds, 60 min. and 96 min. revolution. All documentation speeds to as slow as 32 days/revolution. An “off”
position saves battery life. A pulsating red status light indicates that the unit is working. Hence a time saver,
eliminating double checking of chart movement. This is particularly valuable in applications requiring slow rotational
speeds. A body pilot is locating the CDS 820 on the mounting plate. Removing 3 screws permits exchange of chart
drive. No recalibration is necessary.
