Section 2 Installation X-TMF-5964-5850EM-MFC-eng Part Number: 541B121AHG ® Brooks Models 5964, 5850EM November, 2008 2-1 General This section contains the procedures for the receipt and installation of the instrument. See Section 1 for dimensional and connection requirements. Do not attempt to start the system until the instrument has been permanently installed.
Instrument must have been purged in accordance with the following: All flow instruments returned to Brooks requires completion of Form RPR003-1, Brooks Instrument Decontamination Statement, along with a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the fluid(s) used in the instrument.
Recommended installation procedures: a. The Model 5964/5850EM should be located in a clean, dry atmo- sphere relatively free from shock and vibration. b. Leave sufficient room for access to the electrical components, span and zero potentiometers.
Final torque values depend on the screw and hardware material and lubrication. e. The control valve in the Model 5964/5850EM provides precision control and is not designed for positive shut-off. If positive shut-off is required, it is recommended that a separate shut-off valve be installed in-line.

Models 5964, 5850EM November, 2008 3-3 Theory of Operation The thermal mass flow sensing technique used in the Model 5964/5850EM 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 3-3.
The span adjustment, in the electronics, affects the fine adjustment of the meter's full scale flow. In addition to the mass flow sensor, the Model 5964/5850EM Mass Flow Controller has an integral control valve and control circuit as shown in Figure 3-4.
X-TMF-5964-5850EM-MFC-eng Part Number: 541B121AHG ® Brooks Models 5964, 5850EM November, 2008 Grounding the valve test point pin will cause the valve to open fully on normally closed devices and close fully on normally open devices regardless of command input voltage.

This feature allows the use of the integral control electronics and valve to regulate flow in response to signal from an external 0-5 Vdc signal. The flow signal from the Model 5964/5850EM is still available for process monitoring. This feature is only available on standard response versions.
Models 5964, 5850EM November, 2008 3-5 Adjustment Potentiometers All Model 5964/5850EM instruments are factory calibrated for optimum performance. The only potentiometer recommended for field adjustment is the Zero. As shown in Figure 3-2, access to the Zero Potentiometer is provided by removing the plug labeled 'Z'. The Span Adjustment is also accessible by removing the 'S' plug, however, its adjustment is not recommended as described below.
3-6 Zero Adjustment Each Model 5964/5850EM is factory adjusted to provide a zero ±10 mVdc at zero flow. The adjustment is made in our calibration laboratory which is temperature controlled to 20°C (68°F ±3°F). After initial installation and warm-up in the gas system, the zero flow indication may be other than the factory setting.
Improper operation of the printed circuit board will result. There are three fundamentally different printed circuit boards used on the Model 5964/5850EM depending on line pressure and full scale flow rate. The enhanced response PC Board is the primary board and is used for all Nitrogen equivalent full scale flow rates above 50 sccm with line pressures less than 150 psig.

X-TMF-5964-5850EM-MFC-eng Part Number: 541B121AHG ® Brooks Models 5964, 5850EM November, 2008 Adjust the span potentiometer until the TP1 to TP0 (sensor voltage) is equal to the value calculated above. Recheck the flow rate after the flow is stable (at least two minutes). Repeat this step until the measured flow rate is within specification.

With the controller installed in an unpressurized gas line, apply power and allow approximately 45 minutes for warm-up.
Page 45
X-TMF-5964-5850EM-MFC-eng Part Number: 541B121AHG ® Brooks Models 5964, 5850EM November, 2008 g. Set the command potentiometer for zero percent of flow. Connect the DVM positive lead to flow signal output (Pin 3 Card Edge, Pin 2 D- Connector) and the negative lead to TP4 (circuit common). Readjust the zero potentiometer for an output of zero mV ±2 mV as necessary.
(4 potentiometers) follow either one of the standard response procedures. Two methods of adjusting the step response on the enhanced or standard response PC boards of the Model 5964/5850EM mass flow controller can be used. Adjustment #1 describes a method that will get the step response close to optimum quickly and without any flow measuring equipment.
0-100% requires the use of a fast response flowmeter (less than 100 millisecond response to within 0.2% of final value) in series with the Model 5964/5850EM and a storage oscilloscope or recorder. a. Set the command to zero percent flow rate (0.000 V) and allow the flow signal output to stabilize (30 seconds minimum).

If the response time and overshoot are not within the required limits, the response potentiometer must be adjusted to control the amount of overshoot.
Page 49
(six seconds for Current I/O Version) after command change requires the use of a fast response flowmeter (500 millisecond response to be within 0.2% of final value or better) in series with the Model 5850EM and a storage oscilloscope or recorder.
