Dwyer Instruments GFM2 Series Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

SERIES GFM2
GAS MASS FLOW METER
±1% FS, Programmable Relays
The SERIES GFM2 Gas Mass Flow Meters is an ideal choice for the measurement of
flow rates of a wide variety of gases. Unit can be calibrated for a variety of gases with
user selectable 0 to 5 VDC or 4 to 20 mA and two relay outputs and programmable
totalizer that indicates total gas quantity.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
• Utilizes a straight tube sensor with a restrictor flow element to provide a high ±1% FS
accuracy and ±0.25% FS repeatability
• Gas flow can be displayed in 23 different engineering units on an optional 2x16
character LCD display with internal conversion factors for up to 32 gases
• Digital RS-232 or RS-485 interfaces allow for easy communication and for multi-drop
capability of up to 256 units (RS-485 only)
• User-friendly interface allows for the programming of high and low gas flow alarms,
along with two user-programmable electromechanical SPDT relays with latch options
• Stores calibration information for up to 10 different gases, internal or user-specific
K-factors
• Automatic sensor zero offset adjustment (via digital interface or local push button)
• NIST traceable certificate included
• Self-diagnostic tests
APPLICATIONS
• Gas flow measurement
• Gas flow control
• Operating pumps and valves
• Process equipment
• Vacuum processes
• Glass and metal coating
• Film deposition
