Product Location and Requirements
Ventilation requirements include sufficient air circulation
Ambient operating temperature range: 10° to 50° C (50° to 122° F)
Power requirement (Devicenet): 11-25 VDC [320 mA maximum current @ 11 VDC; 146 mA @ 24 VDC
nominal)]
Note
Voltage and current requirements are specific to the device I/O type. See Appendix A for
voltage and current requirements by device I/O type.
Storage temperature range: -20° to 65° C (-4° and 149° F)
Mount the MFC in an upright position if possible for easy viewing of the display (G-SERIES only), although
any mounting orientation is satisfactory.
Install a separate positive shutoff valve if your system cannot tolerate any leakage through the MFC. The
internal flow control valve is not a positive shutoff valve so some leakage across the valve may occur.
Warning
Your corporate policy on handling toxic or hazardous gases supersedes the
instructions in this manual. Comply with your corporate policy. MKS assumes no
liability for the safe handling of such materials.
Install the MFC in a “flowing” system where gas is continually added and evacuated. Do not use the
controller in a “dead-ended” system (a system which cannot remove excess mass). The MFC cannot vent
excess mass to the atmosphere.
Warm up time: 30 minutes minimum (1 hour suggested to equilibrate with ambient environment)
Use high purity gas filters in line upstream of the device.
Observe the pressure limits for the flow device.
Controller:
Maximum gas inlet pressure is 150 psig with a properly configured valve (consult factory for cases
where inlet pressure is expected to exceed 40 psig).
Operationing differential pressure with atmosphere for standard valve configurations at the outlet is:
10 to 5000 sccm, 10 to 40 psid
10000 to 20000 sccm 15 to 40 psid
30000 to 50000 sccm 25 to 40 psid
Valve configurations for low pressure drop applications are available. Please consult MKS for these
situations.
