Gently lift the cover from the 9500P electronic assembly and place it in a safe location where dirt cannot get inside or, if the display option has been selected, where dirt can get on the inside of the viewing window.
Rev: 9/2019 2.1 Installation / Mounting of Flow Meter Verify the Dimensions of the Flow Meter against your process connection and piping. The Thermal Instrument Company Model 62-9 insertion probe has a variety of process mounting connections, from MNPT to welded flange, The insertion probe commonly comes with an adjustable mechanical connection which can be tightened down for permanent mounting.

/ compact transmitter and / or remote junction enclosure and remote mounted transmitter / electronics. Thermal Instrument Company is not responsible for any 9500P transmitter, junction enclosure, or external equipment damage due to negligence on improper sealing of any conduits going to the enclosures or the enclosure covers not being secured with the O-ring gasket on the base of the transmitter / electronics.

Rev: 9/2019 Recommended Insertion Probe Installation (cont.) Recommended installation when customer process is known to have significant moisture in the pipe. Significant moisture is characterized by the presence of water droplets contacting the flow sensor. Thermal Instrument Company (215) 355-8400 info@thermalinstrument.com...
Additionally, some method of temperature compensation must be performed on the signal. Electronics Transmitter The transmitter / electronics used with the majority of the flow transducers is the 9500P. This electronics has a series of printed circuit boards with interconnectivity. The mass flow measurement and functionality of the design is accomplished on the Bridge Voltage Control Board shown in Figure 3 on page 17.

Rev: 9/2019 Field Calibration Check Procedure for 9500P Electronics The 9500P electronic signal conditioner output can be checked by simulating the voltage output of the Flow sensor with an exter- nal DC voltage source. Turn off power to flow meter.
Rev: 9/2019 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting of a malfunctioning flow meter is a process of isolating the particular circuit area which is out of range and then finding the components causing the failure. Before looking into the possible circuit problems it will be profitable in most cases to first determine that the problem is NOT internal to the electronics.

To measure the sensors, you will need to disconnect the terminal strip at the flow element (if you have a re- mote 9500P electronics only) to remove external voltages and resistances. On the 9500P electronics there are six metal pins on the circuit board that the sensors are connected to labeled “A, B, B1, C1, C, and D”.
