be warming up around 15 minutes in case valves shut off and gas flow cut off, after stable zero movement, normal
operation could begin. If there is big zero excursion, please see the reference 4.5, in the case of non-gas flow, it’s
better adjust zero by zero potentiometer.
b. If Valve switch is on the position of OFF, after power supplying, gas supplying and warming-up, turn switch to
AUTO position, flow rate will reach the presetting 2%(or lower) after a few seconds, which is the suggested
operating method.
c. If Valve switch is on the position of PURGE, the flow rate will reach up to the maximum value after gas and power
supplying, which will have the function of air blasting to the gas circuit.
d. If Valve switch is on the position of AUTO and presetting is not zero, open the gas after power supply, the flow rate
will have a big overshoot and then rapidly reach to the stable presetting value, this kind of operation should better be
avoided.
e. The best operating sequence should be:
1.Open the power supply; 2. Turn the Valve switch on OFF position; 3. Open the gas supply; 4. Warm up for
minutes to have stable zero point movement; 5. Turn the switch on AUTO position; 6. Set flow rate under request.
This is the best way to operate without an overshooting.
5.1.2 PURGE
When need air blasting and cleaning bypass and tube, users could turn the switch on PURGE position, during the
purging, flow rate value should reach up to times or even several decuples of the full scale flow value. If shutoff gas
supplying, it could be vacuum pumping to get rid of MFC internal or upper reaches remained gas matching request.
And then shut off valves, open gas supply again and turn it to AUTO position.
5.1.3 Readout Box &PC Connections
Please find the reference in Figure 5 and Figure 10,it should set the switch of Readout Box to the “External”and
turn the switch to the position of “CONTROL”, and then startup PC.
5.1.4 PC Connections
Please have the reference in Figure 7 and Figure 8, after MFC warming up, it could have PC startup.
5.1.5 Valves Control
When the valve switch sets to “CONTROL”position, users could perform valves control by “CONTROL”wire of
external control signal socket, please find the reference in Figure 2 and Figure 5. When valve drive wire connects
with +15 V, valves will be shutoff; when valve drive wire connects with –15 V, valves will be turned to the top of
maximum to purge position; when valve drive wire hangs in the air, it’s in the auto-control situation.
5.1.6 Shut Off Operation
After shutoff power supply, flow will be cut off automatically. It should be better shut off gas supply (Turn valve
switch to OFF position and close the cut-off valve of gas circuit) before power supply.
