Page 7: Introduction
If you are planning to use the product (including any third party components supplied by Bronkhorst, such as pumps or valves) with other media and/or other conditions, always be sure to check the wetted materials (including seals) for compatibility. See the technical specifications of the product and consult third party documentation (if applicable) to check the incorporated materials. -
Page 8: Product Overview
Switching between ranges can be done via the RS232 interface or the fieldbus interface, or with a Bronkhorst® readout and control unit (E-8000, BRIGHT). For RS232 communication, Bronkhorst can offer a special T-part RS232 cable to connect the instrument with a Windows computer, together with free tooling software (FlowPlot). -
Page 9: Maintenance
Inexpertly servicing instruments can lead to serious personal injury and/or damage to the instrument or the system it is used in. Therefore, servicing must be performed by trained and qualified personnel. Contact Bronkhorst for information about cleaning and calibration. Bronkhorst has a trained staff available. -

Page 11: Installation
Be sure that the sealing materials are compatible with the media and conditions used in the system. Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from the use of other media and/or conditions than specified on the purchase order. -
Page 12: Location
Preferably, mount multiple instruments parallel to each other, and use flexible piping. Mass blocks can be isolated mechanically with (silicon) rubber suspension pads. Mounting blocks and suspension pads can be obtained via your local Bronkhorst representative. 2.3.4 Fluidic connections Flow direction ·... -
Page 13: Piping Requirements
For applications where remaining water particles might cause undesired reactions, such as corrosion, Bronkhorst strongly recommends performing an additional, adequate drying procedure, as described in Liquid application and Gas application. -
Page 14: Electrical Connection
However, compliance with the EMC requirements is not possible without the use of proper cables and connector/gland assemblies. Bronkhorst recommends the use of their standard cables. These cables have the right connectors and if loose ends are used, these are marked to help prevent wrong connection. When using other cables, cable wire diameters should be sufficient to carry the supply current, and voltage loss must be kept as low as possible. -
Page 15: Digital Rs485 Connection (Fieldbus)
Always check the total power consumption of your instruments before connecting them to a fieldbus system. Do not exceed the maximum power of the power supply unit. If you need assistance with setting up a fieldbus configuration, contact your local Bronkhorst representative for information. -
Page 16: Modbus
The DeviceNet™ interface offers a direct connection to a DeviceNet™ network, according to the mass flow controller profile specified by the ODVA. The Bronkhorst® DeviceNet™ instrument is a Group 2 Only Server device whose messages comply with the Controlled Area Network (CAN) 2.0A standard and with the DeviceNet™ protocol. -
Page 17: Operation
Bronkhorst® Operation After correct installation of the mini CORI-FLOW™ M1x Mass Flow Meter (MFM) or Mass Flow Controller (MFC), and when all safety precautions have been taken into account, the instrument can be used for measuring/ controlling the required flow rate in the system. -
Page 18: Temperature Considerations
Bronkhorst® Temperature considerations Although the mini CORI-FLOW has excellent temperature stability, the best accuracy is achieved when temperature gradients within and across the instrument are avoided. Take the following guidelines into account: · To avoid simultaneous heating and cooling of different parts of the instrument, make sure the ambient temperature is as stable and evenly distributed across the environment as possible. -
Page 19: Manual Controls

Baud. 3.7.2.1 FlowDDE Digital Bronkhorst® instruments can be operated via RS232 using the Bronkhorst® FlowDDE server application. Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) provides a basic level of inter process communication between Windows applications. Together with a client application, either self-made or with a third party SCADA program, it is possible to create an easy way of data exchange between the flow meter/controller and a Windows application. -

Page 26: Adjusting Zero Point
The zero point of a Bronkhorst® flow meter/controller is factory adjusted at approximately 20 °C and atmospheric pressure, with the instrument positioned upright. If the ambient conditions or mounting orientation are significantly different, zeroing a new instrument is recommended before using it for the first time. -
Page 27: Manual Procedure
· manually (by using the multifunctional switch) · digitally (via RS232 or fieldbus) · with the autozero function of a Bronkhorst® readout and control unit (E-8000, BRIGHT) Regardless of the preferred method, the procedure takes approximately 60 seconds to complete (longer if the output signal is unstable). -
Page 28: Disabling Multifunctional Switch
The procedure described here is by no means a proper calibration procedure; it can only be used to get a quick impression of the calibration status of an instrument. Performing a reliable calibration procedure requires thorough knowledge of the many parameters involved. Bronkhorst has skilled and experienced staff available that can take care of calibration matters; contact your Bronkhorst representative for information. -

Controller The picture below shows a basic diagram of the PID controller algorithm (proportional, integral, derivative) used by digital Bronkhorst® instruments. The controller speed controls the overall performance of the controller algorithm. Basically, to adjust the controller response, only the controller speed needs to be changed. - Page 39 For more information about controlling characteristics, consult the FlowPlot manual (document no. 9.17.030). Because controlling characteristics are optimized during manufacture, Bronkhorst strongly advises not to change these parameters. If changing controller settings is absolutely necessary, it should be performed by or under supervision of trained service personnel only.
