Note
1. The “No Connection” pin assignment refers to a pin with no internal
connection.
2. Pins 1 through 10 are located on one side of the gold finger
connection and pins A through L are located on the opposite side of
the gold finger connection.
3. The 0 to 5 VDC flow signal output comes from pin 3 and is
referenced to pin B (signal ground).
4. Any appropriate 0 to 5 VDC input signal of less than 20K ohm
source impedance referenced to pin B can be used to supply a set
point signal to pin A.
