Page 1 DESCRIPTION The Model 951 Digital Flow Box is a microprocessor-based digital indicator and power supply , capable of interfacing directly to a mass flow meter or a mass flow controller . The integrated +/-15 vdc @250ma power supply provides a well regulated, short circuit and thermal overload protected output. It is packaged in a small 1/8 D[...]

INST ALLA TION AND WIRING INST ALLA TION The Model 951 enclosure is designated for panel mounting in a 1/8 DIN cutout. The cutout dimensions are shown below . T o panel mount the 951, perform the following steps: 1. Rotate the four pawl screws ( outside screws in each corner) several turns counter-clockwise to retract the pawls. Make sure the pawls[...]

Page 5 SWITCH DEFINITIONS Menu Switch (S1) The Menu switch (S1) is used to cycle through the flow controller setpoints, alarm setpoints, alarm hysteresis, calibration values and decimal point locations. The sequence is as follows. The designators, in parenthesis, identify text that will be displayed, momentarily , followed by the value. Setpoint fo[...]

Page 6 SWITCH DEFINITIONS (cont) Step and Min-Max Switch (S3) This switch has a dual function. When in the MENU sequence, it steps the digit to be incremented, one position to the right. Using S3 in conjunction with S2 allows rapid updating of all parameter values. When  in the MENU sequence, depressing S3 momentarily displays the maximum [...]

Page 7 FUNCTION DEFINITIONS The Mode switch (S1) cycles through the following functions. Flow Set Point (StPt) The Setpoint (0-5 vdc) command signal used to control the flow through a flow controller . The output voltage is 0-5 vdc. The setpoint output is defined as: Setpoint Output = StPt / CAL x 5.000 vdc +/- V offset (Zero value) Example: If the[...]

Page 8 FUNCTION DEFINITIONS (cont) Alarm Set Point High 2 (SPH2) SPH2 is independent and functions identically to SPH1. SPH2 has its own open collector outputs and front panel LED (H2). Alarm Set Point Low 2 (SPL2) SPL2 is independent and functions identically to SPL1. SPL2 has its own open collector outputs and front panel LED (L2). Alarm Hysteres[...]

Page 9 FUNCTION DEFINITIONS (CONT) Decimal Point (dP) dP allows selection of decimal point locations for display . The locations selectable are x.xxxx, xx.xxx, xxx.xx, xxxx.x and xxxxx.[...]

Page 10 OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS TURN-ON INSTRUCTIONS Reference Figures 3 and 4 for proper input and output signal wiring. 1. Apply power to the instrument. 2. V erify the instrument readout blanks momentarily , then displays the value of the input signal. If the display blinks continuously it is because the Model 951 is not receiving a signal. Chec[...]

Page 1 1 PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS (cont) 2. Depress MODE (S1) switch once. The text  followed by the current value of Alarm Set Point High 1 (SPH1) will be displayed. Use S2 and S3 to set Alarm Set Point High 1 to the desired value. Proceed to Step 3 to set Alarm Setpoint Low 1 (SPL1) or depress S4 to exit MODE sequence. If S4 is depressed,[...]

Page 12 PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS (cont) 7. Depress MODE (S1) switch once. The text  followed by the current value of Hysteresis Low will be displayed. Repeat Step 2 to set Alarm Hysteresis Low to the desired value. The maximum value for HL is 99 counts. Proceed to Step 8 or depress S4 to exit. 8. Depress MODE (S1) switch once. The text  [...]

Page 13 Prior to connecting the 951 to the Flowmeter or Controller , verify that the Controller's +/-15 vdc requirement is no more than 40 0 ma. The 951 is capable of supplying up to 500ma for short periods of time ( in 1/2 or 1 hour increments). Consult the factory if the current requirement is > 350ma for prolonged periods of time. Connec[...]

Page 14 CALIBRA TION INSTRUCTIONS (cont) 6. Depress and hold CAL (S5) for approximately 3 seconds. The FS CAL LED should illuminate and the readout should display the FS Cal value within +/- 1 digit. 7. The CALIBRA TION sequence is now complete. NOTE: Calibration information (zero and scale factor values) are stored in non-volatile memory and are u[...]
