2-7 Mechanical Connections

If mechanical connections were ordered from Brooks Instrument, an

integrated filter of 40 microns is already installed in the upstream fitting.

This is to prevent the possibility of any foreign material entering the flow

sensor or control valve (for MFC).

If the 48xx Series product was ordered without fittings, there is no internal

filter in the device. In this case, it is recommended that an in-line filter rated

to at least 40 microns be installed upstream from the device.

Recommended installation procedures:

a. The Brooks MFC or MFM should be located in a clean,

dry atmosphere relatively free from shock and vibration.

b. Install in such a manner that permits easy removal if the instrument

requires servicing.

c. The Brooks MFC or MFM can be installed in any position.

However, mounting in orientations other than the original factory

calibration (see calibration data sheet supplied with the instrument) can

result in a <±0.2% maximum full scale shift after re-zeroing.

d. When installing a mass flow controller or meter with full scale flow rates

of 10 ln/min (10 slpm) or greater, be aware that sharp, abrupt angles in

the system piping directly upstream of the controller may cause a small

shift in accuracy. If possible, have at least ten pipe diameters of straight

tubing upstream of the mass flow controller or meter. This is not

required for meters with an integrated inlet filter.

The setpoint signal is supplied as a 0 to 5 Vdc or 4 to 20 mA analog signal.

All signals are supplied via the 15-pin D-Connector. There is also an

optional local operator interface (LOI). When the LOI is used the setpoint

signal is provided by the LOI.

The Brooks electrical interface is designed to facilitate low-loss, quiet

signal connections. Separate returns (commons) are supplied for the

analog setpoint, analog flow signal, and the power supply. These commons

are electrically connected together on the PC board.

2-9 Operation Check Procedure

a. Mount the MFC/MFM in its final orientation.

b. Apply power to the MFC/MFM and allow approximately 15 minutes for

the instrument to completely warm up and stabilize its temperature.

c. Do NOT supply gas to the MFC/MFM. Ensure that the differential

pressure across the MFC/MFM is zero.

d. Apply a setpoint (MFC only) of:

0.000 Vdc ± 10 mV (0 - 5 Vdc setpoint)

4.000 mA ± 32 μA (4 - 20 mA setpoint)

e. If the zero exceeds one of these limits, follow the re-zeroing procedure

in Section 3. The analog output signal should be:

0.000 Vdc ± 10 mV (0 - 5 Vdc output)

4.000 mA ± 32 μA (4 - 20 mA output)

f. Turn on the gas supply. A positive flow signal may be present due to

slight valve leak-thru (MFC only).

g. Supply a setpoint signal between:

0 to 5 Vdc (0 - 5 Vdc setpoint)

4 to 20 mA (4 - 20 mA setpoint)

h. Check the analog output signal. The output signal should match the

setpoint signal in accordance with the accuracy specifications provided

in Section 1 of this document.

i. If flow output signal does not match the setpoint, and pressure settings

are correct, this could indicate a problem in the MFC. A secondary issue

could be the gas type. When checking with a surrogate gas, ensure that

there is enough pressure to the MFC in order to flow the correct amount

of the surrogate gas.

3-1 Operating Procedure

After the MFC/MFM has been properly installed in the process, it is ready

for operation. When initiating flow, slowly open the valve to avoid a flow

surge. Bypass is a help in bringing the flow on smoothly. Avoid starting a

pump to supply the flowmeter without the use of a valve upstream of the

flowmeter.

3-2 Theory of Operation

As with traditional Thermal Mass Flow devices, the 48xx Series flow

measurement system consists of two components: the flow restrictor and

the sensor. The purpose of the 48xx Series flow restrictor is to create

backpressure and force flow through the thermal sensor. Figure 3-1 is a

cross sectional cut-away view depicting gas flow around the thermal

sensor.

Figure 3-1 Gas Flow Across the MEMS Sensor

The 48xx Series sensor is a Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS)

based thermal sensor. As shown in Figure 3-1, the gas flows directly

across the MEMS sensor, resulting in extremely fast response times. As

with traditional thermal mass flow sensors, upstream and downstream

temperature sensors are centered around a heating element. As gas flows

across the upstream temperature sensor towards the heater and the

downstream temperature sensor, it cools the upstream temperature sensor

and heats the downstream temperature sensor. This causes the

temperature difference measured by the two temperature sensors to

increase with increasing flow. The temperature difference is then converted

into a flow signal based on the factory calibration.

There is one major difference between a traditional thermal mass flow

sensor and the MEMS based sensor. A traditional thermal mass flow

sensor makes use of a Cp transfer function. However, as depicted in

Figure 3-1, only a portion of the flow field is heated by the MEMS sensor.

Therefore, a Cp transfer function cannot be used in the MEMS sensor to

adjust the flow rate for a gas other than what the device was calibrated on

when it left the factory.

3-3 Features

Note: All Brooks Series mass flow meters are configured at the

factory according to customer order and do not require adjustment.

Not all features are available on all instruments.

The Brooks 48xx Series device is a full-featured digital MFC. The device

performs much like a traditional analog MFC, but with improved step

response and valve control. The analog interface matches that of Brooks'

popular analog MFCs so it can be retrofitted into tools using analog MFCs.

3-4 Analog I/O Mode of Operation

The following paragraphs describe the basic features of the Brooks 4800

Series instruments.

Functional Description

The analog interface may include any of the following I/O options as

specified by the user:

0 - 5 Vdc setpoint, 0 - 5 Vdc flow output

4 - 20 mA setpoint, 4 - 20 mA flow output

Also included is the Valve Override input pin. All analog signals available

are on the 15 pin D-Connector. (See Fig. 1-1 for connections.)

Before operating the MFC/MFM, apply power and warm-up the instrument

for approximately 15 minutes. After warm-up, apply gas pressure then

proceed by following the instructions in the following sections.

Setpoint Signal Input (MFC Only)

This input allows the user to establish the MFC setpoint. Several input

types are available as follows:
