Page 5: Scope Of This Manual
Scope of this manual Introduction This manual covers the FLOW-SMS series, Bronkhorst® lightweight, modular gas delivery system. It handles the general instructions needed for the surface mount components, i.e. digital mass flow / pressure meters and controllers, control valves, shut-off valves and filters, as well as the manifold components such as mixing and distribution chambers, support rails and adapter plates. -

Page 9: Purging
Bronkhorst ® 2.9 Purging In systems for use with corrosive or reactive fluids, purging for at least 30 minutes with a dry, inert gas (like Nitrogen or Argon) is absolutely necessary before use. After use with corrosive or reactive fluids, complete purging is also required before exposing the system to air. -
Page 10: Description
In the following paragraphs we have laid down the instructions for removal and replacement of functional modules. Bronkhorst® recommends to clean or to replace gaskets and hexagon bolts before reassembling functional modules. FLOW-SMS manifold components (base bodies, distribution and mixing chamber, etc.) should only be removed or replaced by qualified personnel. -

Bronkhorst ® The control valve used in the FLOW-SMS series is a standard, direct operated solenoid valve (normally opened or normally closed), operated through the PID-control function on the pc-board of the flow or pressure meter. The diameter of the orifice under the plunger is optimised for the customer’s specification. - Page 12 Bronkhorst ® The control valve used in the FLOW-SMS series is a standard, direct operated solenoid valve (normally opened or normally closed), operated through the PID-control function on the pc-board of the flow or pressure meter.

Page 18: Basic Operation
Bronkhorst ® 3 Basic operation 3.1 General A FLOW-SMS instrument is equipped with a digital electronic ‘Multibus’ pc-board. These electronics consist of a micro- controller with peripheral circuitry for measuring, controlling and communication. The flow/pressure signal, is measured and digitized directly at the sensor and processed by means of the internal software (firmware). - Page 19 See 9.17.023 “Operation Instructions Digital Instruments” for more details about the parameters and properties of ‘multibus’ instruments. RS232 FLOW-BUS communication can be used for operating your instrument using the Bronkhorst® FlowDDE server application. Physical layer and communication protocol are detected automatically upon reception of messages.

Bronkhorst ® 4.1.5 Maximum pressure drop For solenoid operated control valves with small orifices the maximum allowable pressure drop for gases is according to the general table below. Please keep in mind that the pressure rating for FLOW-SMS is 10 bar only. The Kv value of the shut-off valves, in front of and behind the flow/pressure controllers, must be 1.5 times larger than total Kv value... -
Page 23: Troubleshooting And Service
Bronkhorst ® 5 Troubleshooting and service 5.1 General For a correct analysis of the proper operation of a flow/pressure meter or controller it is recommended to remove the unit from the process line and check it without applying fluid supply pressure. In case the unit is dirty, this can be ascertained immediately by loosening the compression type couplings and, if applicable the flange on the inlet side. -
