Page 5: Unpacking The Fma 4000 Mass Flow Meter
UNPACKING THE FMA 4000 MASS FLOW METER Inspect Package for External Damage Your FMA 4000 Mass Flow Meter was carefully packed in a sturdy cardboard car- ton, with anti-static cushioning materials to withstand shipping shock. Upon receipt, inspect the package for possible external damage. In case of external damage to the package contact the shipping company immediately. - Page 6 CAUTION: FMA 4000 TRANSDUCERS SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR MONITORING OXYGEN GAS UNLESS SPECIFICALLY CLEANED AND PREPARED FOR SUCH APPLICATION. For more information, contact Omega 7 . Attitude limit of the Mass Flow Meter is ±15 from calibration position (standard calibration is in horizontal position).

Pin diagram is presented in Figure b-1. 2.2.1 Power Supply Connections The power supply requirements for FMA 4000 transducers are: 11 to 26 Vdc, (unipolar power supply) DC Power (+) --------------- pin 7 of the 15 pin “D” connector DC Power (-) --------------- pin 5 of the 15 pin “D”... -
Page 8: Communication Parameters And Connections
2.2.3 Communication Parameters and Connections The digital interface operates via RS485 (optional RS232) and provides access to applicable internal data including: flow, CPU temperature reading, auto zero, total- izer and alarm settings, gas table, conversion factors and engineering units selec- tion, dynamic response compensation and linearization table adjustment. - Page 9 DC Power cable length may not exceed 9.5 feet (3 meters). Use of the FMA 4000 flow transducer in a manner other than that spec- ified in this manual or in writing from Omega, may impair the protection provided by the equipment.

Page 10: Principle Of Operation
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The stream of gas entering the Mass Flow transducer is split by shunting a small portion of the flow through a capillary stainless steel sensor tube. The remainder of the gas flows through the primary flow conduit. The geometry of the primary con- duit and the sensor tube are designed to ensure laminar flow in each branch. -
Page 11: Specifications
SPECIFICATIONS FLOW MEDIUM: Please note that FMA 4000 Mass Flow Meters are designed to work only with clean gases. Never try to measure flow rates of liquids with any FMA 4000. CALIBRATIONS: Performed at standard conditions [14.7 psia (101.4 kPa) and 70 (21.1 C)] unless otherwise requested or stated. - Page 12 CAUTION: Omega makes no expressed or implied guarantees of corrosion resistance of mass flow meters as pertains to different flow media reacting with components of meters. It is the customers' sole responsibility to select the model suitable for a particular gas based on the fluid contacting (wetted) materials offered in the different models.

Page 14: Swamping Condition
Note: Allow the Digital Mass Flow Meter to warm-up for a MINIMUM of 6 minutes. During initial powering of the FMA 4000 transducer, the flow output signal will be indicating a higher than usual output. This is an indication that the FMA 4000 transducer has not yet attained its minimum operating temperature. -

When linearity adjustment is needed or flow range changes are being made, proceed to step 7.2.3. Flow range changes may require a different Restrictor Flow Element (RFE). Consult Omega ® for more information. - Page 26 All adjustments made to the gas linearization table will be applied to the currently selected gas. Use Gas Select command via digital communication interface (see paragraph 8.3 ASCII Command Set “FMA 4000 SOFTWARE INTERFACE COMMANDS”) or Omega ® supplied calibration and maintenance software to verify current gas table or select a new gas table.
