Model 5860E November, 2008 3-1 Theory of Operation The thermal mass flow sensing technique used in the 5860E works as follows: A precision power supply provides a constant power heat input (P) at the heater which is located at the midpoint of the sensor tube. (Refer to Figure 3-1) At zero or no flow conditions, the heat reaching each temperature sensor (one upstream and one downstream of the heater) is equal.
Adjust for the desired flow and assume normal operation. 3-3 Zero Adjustment Each Model 5860E is factory adjusted to provide a 0 ±10mVdc signal at zero flow. The adjustment is made in our calibration laboratory which is temperature controlled to 21.1°C (70°F ±2°F). After initial installation and warm-up in the gas system the zero flow indication may be other than the factory setting.

Brooks Model 5860E November, 2008 4-1 General No routine maintenance is required on the Model 5860E other than an occasional cleaning. If an in-line filter is used, the filtering element should periodically be replaced or ultrasonically cleaned. 4-2 Troubleshooting A. System Checks The Model 5860E is generally used as a component in gas handling systems which can be quite complex.
