Chapter 2 Setting-Up Assembly Instructions for the Flow Calibrators The calibrator can be quickly attached to the battery pack by screwing the mounting lugs into the threaded holes in the base of the calibrator. The lugs should then be placed over the receiving holes in the top of the battery pack and snapped gently into place.
Power Supply: 7.5 VDC ± 1.5 V, 300 mA maximum Connecting Filter and Flow Tubes The Model 4048/4148 has a thermal sensor exposed to the air flow that must be protected from foreign matter and particles. TSI supplies a filter that should be connected to the inlet of the calibrator; however, any filter will work as long as it has a minimum efficiency of 99.9%.
Be sure to follow all instrument manufacturer’s flow setting and calibration procedures. 1. Start up the Model 4048/4148 Flow Calibrator and let it warm up (1 minute for Model 4048 or 10 minutes for Model 4148) prior to setting any flow rates or conducting any calibrations.
