Currently, common flow display instruments in the market generally use plastic housings, are small in size, and easy to install. The flow input and output signals are usually standard 0~+5V voltage signals or 4~20mA current signals.

Some flow display instruments come with flow setting and valve control functions, also known as flow display control instruments. These display instruments can be used with a power supply of ±15V or 24V 's. MFC (or MFM ) for use.

 

1, Reference source and flow setting

Taking the voltage analog signal of 0~5V as an example, the display instrument is designed with a +5.00V reference power supply, which is loaded onto the setting potentiometer. The operator manually adjusts the setting potentiometer on the panel to provide 0~5.00V output voltage to +5.00V to control 0~5.00V output voltage to MFC to control MFC flow. The power supply is designed with a soft start circuit. When the display instrument is powered on, the reference source slowly rises from 0V to +5.00V.

2, Digital display  

The display is used to show the flow, and the units of flow display include "SCCM" "SLM" "%" three types. Usually, the flow display instrument is paired with MFC (or MFM ) when leaving the factory. , The displayed values and units on the display are adjusted to be consistent with the corresponding MFC (or MFM ) channel values and units. If the user does not specify the flow specifications of MFC (or MFM ) when ordering, it is adjusted at the factory to display as a percentage of full scale, and it displays MFC (or MFM 100.0% . On the panel of the flow display instrument, there is a flow unit indicator light, SCCM or SLM , if both are off, it indicates the unit is . 3, Valve control switch %

Flow display instruments with flow adjustment and control functions will have a

"Valve control switch. The valve control switch has three positions. During normal operation, it is placed in the position. When it is necessary to blow through the pipeline, the " cleaning switch. The valve control switch has three positions. During normal operation, it is placed in the position. When it is necessary to blow through the pipeline, the " position can be selected, and when not in use, it should be placed in the switch. The valve control switch has three positions. During normal operation, it is placed in the off " position. switch. The valve control switch has three positions. During normal operation, it is placed in the 4, " Zero adjustment potentiometer

The panel is designed with an external "zero adjustment" potentiometer, which can be used to adjust the zero point of the product within a small range. 5, Multi-channel flow display instrument

A single display instrument can simultaneously connect to 3 or 4 mass flow controllers MFC or mass flow meters MFM. MFC (or MFM )产品的零点。

ACU10FA


The ACU10FA analog mass flow controller boasts fast response and high accuracy. It offers a wide control range, spanning 5 SCCM to 30 SLM, with the ability to measure and regulate flow as low as 1 SCCM, making it suitable for controlling very small flow rates.

ACU10FD


The ACU10FD digital mass flow controller consists of a mass flow sensor, a laminar flow element, a flow control valve, and an amplifier control circuit. It uses digital signal input and output and features a short preheating time, small zero drift, and high reliability.

ACU10FDR


The ACU10FDR low differential pressure gas mass flow controller, equipped with a proprietary high-flow electromagnetic valve, is suitable for controlling mass flow in situations with minimal available system pressure. The low differential pressure ensures minimal impact on the system, enabling flow control under near-atmospheric pressure conditions and reducing system response time. We will customize the valve and PID control functions for you based on your application parameters to ensure that the product can achieve fast and stable control while maintaining low pressure loss.

ACU10FC


The ACU10FC differential pressure mass flow controller uses a differential pressure mass measurement principle with no thermal drift and no response lag. It can simultaneously display and output: instantaneous flow rate, cumulative flow rate, pressure, temperature, etc. When a control function is required, an electromagnetic proportional control valve and built-in PID control function can be added. Unlike thermal flow meters, the ACU10FC has no additional "specific heat capacity" error when using gas conversion coefficients. Therefore, even if the measured gas is different from the calibration gas at the factory, it will not affect the measurement accuracy.

ACU10P


The ACU10P series pressure controllers/gauges feature a straight-through design with a measurement range from 100 kPa to 10 MPa (both absolute and gauge pressure). Differential pressure transmitters are also available.
