GETTING STARTED Power Jack 8 Pin Mini-DIN Display Screen Inlet Connection Port Outlet Connection Port Flow Direction Arrow Medium Mass Flow Meter MOUNTING M-Series Gas Flow Meters have holes on the bottom for mounting to flat panels. See pages 41-55. M-Series Meters can usually be mounted in any position. No straight runs of pipe are required upstream or downstream of the meter. PLUMBING Your meter is shipped with plastic plugs fitted in the port openings.
We recommend the use of in-line sintered filters to prevent large particulates from entering the measurement head of the instrument. Suggested maximum particulate sizes are as follows: 5 microns for units with FS flow ranges of 0-1 sccm or less. 20 microns for units with FS flow ranges between 0-2 sccm and 0-1 slpm. 50 microns for units with FS flow ranges of 0-1 slpm or more.

RS-232 / RS-485 Output and Input Configuring HyperTerminal®: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Open your HyperTerminal® RS-232 / RS-485 terminal program (installed under the “Accessories” menu on all Microsoft Windows® operating systems). Select “Properties” from the file menu. Click on the “Configure” button under the “Connect To” tab.
Tareing via RS-232 / RS-485: Tare –Tareing (or zeroing) the flow meter provides it with a reference point for zero flow. This is a simple but important step in obtaining accurate measurements. It is good practice to “zero” the flow meter each time it is powered up. A unit may be Tared by following the instructions on page 10 or it may be Tared via RS-232 / RS-485 input. To send a Tare command via RS-232 / RS-485, enter the following strings: In Polling Mode: Address$$V (e.g.
Gas Select – The selected gas can be changed via RS-232 / RS-485 input. To change the selected gas, enter the following commands: In Polling Mode: Address$$# (e.g. B$$#) Where # is the number of the gas selected from the table below.
Collecting Data: The RS-232 / RS-485 output updates to the screen many times per second. Very short-term events can be captured simply by disconnecting (there are two telephone symbol icons at the top of the HyperTerminal® screen for disconnecting and connecting) immediately after the event in question. The scroll bar can be driven up to the event and all of the data associated with the event can be selected, copied, and pasted into Microsoft® Excel® or other spreadsheet program as described below.
Data Format: The data stream on the screen represents the flow parameters of the main mode in the units shown on the display. For mass flow meters, there are five columns of data representing pressure, temperature, volumetric flow, mass flow and the selected gas.
Sending a Simple Script File to HyperTerminal® It is sometimes desirable to capture data for an extended period of time. Standard streaming mode information is useful for short term events, however, when capturing data for an extended period of time, the amount of data and thus the file size can become too large very quickly. Without any special programming skills, you can use HyperTerminal® and a text editing program such as Microsoft® Word® to capture text at defined intervals. 1.
14. The “Line Delay” box is defaulted to 0 milliseconds. This is where you will tell the program how often to read a line from the script file you’ve created. 1000 milliseconds is one second, so if you want a line of data every 30 seconds, you would enter 30000 into the box. If you want a line every 5 minutes, you would enter 300000 into the box. 15. When you have entered the value you want, click on OK and OK in the Properties dialog box. 16.

TROUBLESHOOTING Display does not come on or is weak. Check power and ground connections. Please reference the technical specifications (pages 41-56) to assure you have the proper power for your model. Flow reading is approximately fixed either near zero or near full scale regardless of actual line flow. Differential pressure sensor may be damaged. Avoid installations that can subject the sensor to excessive pressure differentials (see page 7).
Flow flutters or is jumpy. The meters are very fast and will pick up any actual flow fluctuations such as from a diaphragm pump, etc. Also, inspect the inside of the upstream connection for debris such a Teflon tape shreds. Note: M-Series meters feature a programmable geometric running average (GRA) that can aid in allowing a rapidly fluctuating flow to be read (see “Pressure Averaging” and “Flow Averaging” page 20). The output signal is lower than the reading at the display.
Maintenance and Recalibration General: M-Series Flow Meters require minimal maintenance. They have no moving parts. The single most important thing that affects the life and accuracy of these devices is the quality of the gas being measured. The meter is designed to measure CLEAN, DRY, NON-CORROSIVE gases. Moisture, oil and other contaminants can affect the laminar flow elements.
Option: Totalizing Mode Meters can be purchased with the Totalizing Mode option. This option adds an additional mode screen that displays the total flow (normally in the units of the main flow screen) that has passed through the device since the last time the totalizer was cleared. The Totalizing Mode screen is accessed by pushing the TOTAL button on the MAIN display. TOTAL/TIMER: Pushing the TOTAL/TIMER SCCM TOTAL/ +0.
Alicat Portable Meters and Gauges Alicat Rechargeable Flow Meters and Pressure Gauges use a Li-Ion 3.7V cell located in the top section of the device. The Li-Ion cell must not be removed. Normal battery life of a fully-charged cell is 16 hours with a monochrome display or 5 hours with a TFT color display, when the backlight is set to 10. The battery can be charged through either the micro-USB port or the mini-DIN connector.
Option: Remote Electronics for High Line or Gas Temperatures Some applications involve operating temperatures outside the standard Alicat device specifications. A solution using remote electronics is available. (This option is not applicable for liquid devices.) The flow body’s components are minimized to only the required sensors. The flow data is sent to the microprocessor electronics up to 6 feet away from the sensor package.
