1 Scope of this manual
1.1 Introduction
The BRIGHT is a readout and operator module for Bronkhorst® digital Mass Flow and Pressure Meters/Controllers. The
module not only allows reading of actual and total flow, simultaneously, but also features local operation, i.e. change
of setpoint, counter reset, setting of engineering units, fluid name and tag number, etc. Four push-buttons at the right
side of the device give access to a user-friendly menu. The bright 1.8” color display is clearly visible over a wide angle,
due to state-of-the-art TFT-technology. The weatherproof (IP65) housing makes the module suitable for use in
industrial areas and the module can be mounted on the instrument or, using the mounting kit, on an adjacent wall or
panel and on the pipework.
Note
Because the BRIGHT uses the RS232 port of these instruments for communication, other RS232 communication is not
possible. When the instrument is connected with a bus-system like PROFIBUS DP or DeviceNet, communication with
this bus-system will not be effected. Measure, setpoints and other parameters can be “read-and-write” by the BRIGHT
or via the bus-system.

4 Connecting
!
Do not apply pressure until electrical connections are made.
!
When providing your own power supply, be sure that voltage and current rating are according to the
specifications of the instrument(s). Cable wire diameters should be sufficient to carry the supply current and
voltage losses must be kept as low as possible.
!
Bronkhorst® recommends using their standard cables. These cables have the right connectors and if loose ends
are used, these will be marked to prevent wrong connection.
The hook-up diagrams are available at the download section of our website: http://www.bronkhorst.com
!
Before switching on power check if all connections have been made according to the hook-up diagram which
belongs to the instrument.
!
Turn on power and allow at least 30 minutes to warm up and stabilize the connected instrument.
!
When the T-part is connected, other RS232 communication is disabled.
