Please read the followi ng th oroughly before attempting to in stall the instrument. 2.1. Receiving Inspection Carefully unpack the Hastings 201/203 se[...]

141-072011 - 201/203 Series Page 9 of 23 2.4. Mechanical Connections The flow meter may be mounted in any position as long as the direction of gas flow through the instrument follows the arrow marked on the botto m of the flow meter ca se label. The preferred orientation is with the inlet and outlet f ittings in a horizontal pla ne (if operating wi[...]

Do not connect the m together at the flow co ntroller as the resulting crosstalk could result in flow instabilities. 24 Volt Connections Refer to the diagram at right when connecting 24 Volt units. Connect the positive lead of the power supply to pin 7 of the DE-9 [...]

Condensate or any other liquids which enter the flow meter ma y destroy its electronic componen ts. 2.6.2. Zero Check Turn the power supply on if not already energized. Allow for a 1 hour warm-up. Stop all flow [...]

141-072011 - 201/203 Series Page 12 of 23 2.6.5. Operation with a Hastings power supply. There are two controls for each flow controller co nnected to a Hastings power supply. A switch labeled “OPEN; AUTO; CLOSED” (valve override THPS 400 only) and a potentiometer labeled “COMMAND”. For normal operation, the valve over ride switch will be i[...]

141-072011 - 201/203 Series Page 13 of 23 2.6.7. Operation with an external sensor. (Fig. 2.2) In some instances, it might be desirable to use an e xternal sensor to provide process infor mation to the control circuitry in the flow controller. For ex ample, you might want to control the pressure in a vacuum sys tem by adjusting the rate at wh ich t[...]

Reset the comm and vo ltage to 10%, and allow the controller to stabilize. 4) To prevent loss of the unused jumper, place it over one pin only on JP4/JP6. 2.6.9. Oper[...]

Detailed schematics and parts lists can be found at the end of the manual in Section 6.0. In this section and other sections throughout this manual, when a po wer supply is mentioned, it is assumed that [...]

141-072011 - 201/203 Series Page 16 of 23 output is sent to the terminals on the back and to the decoding circuitry in the display which converts it to a 3-d igit output. The controller circuitry utilizes the Command and the Flow voltages as input signals. The 0 - 5VDC comma nd signal is subtracted from the 0 - 5VDC flow signal creating an error si[...]

141-072011 - 201/203 Series Page 17 of 23 3.5. Valve: A solenoid valve is used as a pilot valv e to contro l a much larger pneumatic diaphragm valve. The pilot valve is an “automatic metering solenoid” va lve. While most solenoids operate in either the fully open or fully closed state, the automatic metering solenoid valve is designed to contro[...]

If the instrument is not shutting co mpletely off when Valve Override switch is in the CLOSE position, the orifice may requi re approximately 1/8 turn clockwi se. 4.4. End Cap Removal: The end cap on the inlet side must be removed to gain access to the filter or shunt assembly. First shut off the[...]
