Connectors and Cables
The 247 unit’s two Interface connectors and four MFC connectors are located on the rear panel of
the unit (refer to Figure 6, page 43).
When the 247 is purchased as part of a complete system including MFCs, all of the required
interface cables are supplied. When purchased separately, the interface cables must be
specifically ordered. The system interface cables are listed in Table 5, page 20.
Interface Connector P6 (Channels 1 to 4)
The 25-pin male Type “D” connector, located on the rear panel (refer to Figure 6, page 43)
provides the communications link to and from the unit, including the connection to the scaled
transducer outputs, the lines to turn the flow on and off, and the set point input lines which
remotely set the flow rate of the MFCs.
