SAFETY
1. Applypoweronlyafterreviewingwiringdiagramsprintedonthebackofthiscard&inInstructionManual,Ch.2
2. Applygasflowonlyaftercheckingplumbingconnectionsforleaks
3. NEVERTESTFORLEAKSWITHLIQUIDLEAKDETECTOR.Ifliquidseepsintotheelectronicsorthehiddensensor
compartment,theinstrumentmaybedamaged.Instead,useapressure‐decaytest(ifliquidMUSTbeusedatall,
limitittothefittingsandkeepitoffthebodyoftheinstrument).

INSTALLATION
1. Consulttheinstrument’sDataLabel(ontherearoftheinstrument)forALLproperoperatingparameters.Ifthe
informationontheDataLabeldoesnotmatchyourprocessconditions,contactyourRepresentativeorSierra
InstrumentsCustomerService.
2. Installa10micronin‐linefilterupstreamofyourinstrument.Ifthegascontainsanymoisture,useanappropriate
dryerordesiccant.Particleslargerthan10micronandmoisturemaydamageyourinstrument.
3. MountaccordingtoDataLabelorientation.HorizontalflowispreferableandfactorydefaultUNLESSthefactory
calibrationwasperformedspecificallyforverticalflowupwardordownward,aslisted.Orientationislistedonthe
DataLabelandontheCalibrationCertificate.
4. DONOTAPPLYPOWERTOTHEOUTPUTLOOP.ThisisNOTaloop‐powereddevice.
5. Applypoweronlyafterreviewingwiringdiagramsprintedonthebackofthiscard&inInstructionManual,Ch.2
PowerisappliedviatheHDDB15connector.TheCAT‐5RJ45connectorisfortheSierraRemotePilotModuleor
provided‘CRN’cable.DONOTusetheCAT5RJ45portforEthernet—damagetoyourcomputersystemorthe
instrumentmayoccur.

OPERATION
1. Powertheunit.IfyouareusingtheSierraprovidedpowersupply,itisrecommendedyouattachtheD‐sub
connectortotheSmart‐Trak2beforepluggingtheadapterintothewall.Theunitmaytakelongertostartthan
normalifotherwise.Thiswillnotdamagetheunit.ThegreenLEDabovetheRJ45connectorwilllightwhenthe
unitpowered.
2. OurMassFlowControllersareshippedwithazerosetpointinAutomaticvalveoperationmode.Forsafety
considerations,itisrecommendedyouconfirmthispriortoapplyinggastotheunit.
3. ApplythegaslistedontheDataLabeltotheinletattherecommendedpressure(listedontheData
Label/CalibrationCertificate).YourSmart‐Trak2Meterwillbegintomeasuremassflow.Thiswillbedisplayedon
theusersoftwareordisplaymodulethatyouhavehookedup.
4. MassFlowControllerswillneedasetpointinputinordertocontrolflow.Dosocarefully!Youcandigitallyinputa
setpointusingtheprovidedUserSoftwareorPilotModule,orcontroldirectlywithyouranalogsetpointsource.
NOTE:YoucanchangethesetpointsourcetypeusingthesoftwareorPilotModule.Theunitshipsinthe
configurationinitiallychosen(ordefaultifnotspecified).ThisinformationisalsolistedontheDataLabelandon

5. DONOTleaveasetpointappliedforanextendedperiodoftimetoacontroller
whenthegassupplyisofforblocked.Damagemayresultfromexcessive
heating,andtheunitwillbecomehotenoughtoburnyou.Alternatively,youcan
maintainyoursetpointvaluebutclosethevalvebyswitchingValveOperationto
