Page 33: Control Valve
Chapter Three: Overview Control Valve Control Valve The Control Valve is a specially constructed solenoid valve in which the armature (moving valve mechanism) is suspended by two springs. This arrangement assures that no friction is present and makes precise control possible. In MFCs with normally closed valves (1159, 1160, 2159, and 2160), the control current is used to lift the armature from the seat allowing a controlled flow of gas. - Page 34 Control Valve Chapter Three: Overview This page intentionally left blank.

(either a 15-pin Type “D” or a P. C. Edge Card connector) located at the top of the flow controller. Plug the other end of the cable into an MKS or MKS-compatible power supply/readout unit. 3. Apply power to the MFC instrument. -
Page 36: How To Zero The Flow Controller
Refer to Figure 6, page 18, for the location of the Zero pot. If you are using an MKS power supply/readout unit, the flow controller can also be zeroed at the front panel of the readout unit. 3. Open the positive shut-off valve. -
Page 37: Valve Override
Chapter Four: Operation Valve Override Valve Override Valve override enables the control valve to be fully opened (purged) or closed independent of the set point command signal. For 1100 Series Controllers with a Type “D” Connector: To open the valve, apply a TTL low to pin 4, or connect pin 4 to pin 11 (signal common). To close the valve, apply a TTL low to pin 3, or connect pin 3 to pin 11. - Page 38 NUPRO BN Shutoff Valve Chapter Four: Operation This page intentionally left blank.

Page 39: Chapter Five: Theory Of Operation
Chapter Five: Theory of Operation Flow Path The MKS MFC Series 1100 instruments are laminar flow devices whose precise indication of mass flow is achieved through the use of a range controlling changeable bypass and a parallel sensor tube. Upon entering the MFC, the gas stream is divided into two parallel paths; the first is directed through the sensor tube, the second goes through the changeable bypass. - Page 40 (negative in relation to the flow signal), the valve closes. Most controllers use an integral mode which means that the longer the error endures, the more the valve opens. MKS Types 147/647, 246, and 247 are designed to power, provide set point, and display the output of the MFC 1100 Series instruments.
