Page 5: Introduction
We, at ONICON Incorporated, would like to thank you for purchasing our quality American made F-5200 Series Thermal Mass Flow Meter. As our valued customer, our commitment to you is to provide fast reliable service, while continuing to offer you quality products to meet your growing flow measurement needs. -
Page 6: Standard Features And Specifications
STANDARD FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS CALIBRATION Every ONICON thermal mass flow meter is wet calibrated in a flow laboratory against standards that are directly traceable to N.I.S.T. A certificate of calibration accompanies every meter. Each meter is calibrated for use with a specific gas. -
Page 7: Additional Required Hardware
ADDITIONAL REQUIRED HARDWARE All ONICON insertion thermal mass meters can be installed and removed via a ¾” or larger full port ball valve without disrupting flow. The terms “Standard” and “Hot Tap” refer to the installation method only. Standard Installation: Occurs during new construction or Compression Fitting scheduled shutdown. -

Page 11: Installation Site Selection
Refer to Section 1.6 WORKING ENVIRONMENT for additional considerations. ONICON insertion style flow meters must also be correctly oriented in the pipe with respect to the direction of flow. The drawings above illustrate the relationship between flow direction and the orientation of the meter when installed in the pipe. - Page 12 IMPORTANT NOTICE Always use the maximum available straight run. When more than the minimum required straight run is available place the meter such that the excess straight run is upstream of the meter location. The flow meter must be properly installed with respect to the direction of flow. Installing the meter with the UPSTREAM label facing downstream will result in significant errors in the flow measurement.

Page 13: Mechanical Installation
FLOW CAUTION ONICON insertion style flow meters must be installed through a valve assembly. Failure to do so negates the ability to remove the meter without disrupting flow. It will also result in an excessive amount of stem protruding from the pipe. Excessive stem lengths unnecessarily expose the meter to incidental damage. -

Page 15: Installing The Flow Meter
INSTALLING THE FLOW METER WARNING SYSTEM MAY BE UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When inserting, removing or adjusting the meter position, be sure to hold the enclosure firmly by hand before SLOWLY loosening the compression fitting. Failure to do this will allow the pressure to suddenly and rapidly force the meter from the pipe causing serious injury. - Page 16 Determining the Insertion Depth The dimension used to set the insertion depth is the “X” dimension. This dimension is printed on the laminated tag attached to the meter and can be found in the tables below. Schedule 40 Pipe ONICON Nominal O.D. I.D.
- Page 17 CAUTION The compression fitting must be tightened as described in the following procedure. Failure to do will likely result in fluid leaks and/or permanent damage to the flow meter stem. Tightening the Compression Fitting Insert the meter as described above. Tighten the nut until the stem will not turn by hand or move axially in the fitting.

Page 18: Removing The Flow Meter
REMOVING THE FLOW METER WARNING SYSTEM MAY BE UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When removing the flow meter, be sure to grasp the electronics enclosure firmly by hand before slowly loosening the compression fitting. Failure to do this will allow the pressure in the pipe to suddenly and rapidly force the meter from the pipe causing serious injury. -
Page 19: Electrical Installation
Additional cable may be purchased from ONICON that will allow you to maintain the existing color coding. All electrical connections to the F-5200 must be made through the 10ft cable provided with the meter. This cable is not designed to be removed in the field, and any attempt to do so will compromise the weather tight integrity of the enclosure. -
Page 20: Analog Output
Contact ONICON for assistance if the full scale flow rate requires reprogramming. 3.5.3 Pulse Output The F-5200 is provided with a single scaled pulse output for totalizing. This is an isolated dry contact output. Maximum contact ratings are 50VDC @ 100mA. Pulse duration is 500ms. -
Page 21: Start-Up & Commissioning For Onicon Insertion Thermal Mass Flow Meters
Please read these helpful hints before proceeding with the start-up and commissioning procedure on the next page. ONICON flow meters are individually calibrated for a particular application. Be sure to verify the pipe size and location. When measuring analog output signals, remember that current (mA) must be measured in series, while voltage is measured in parallel. -
Page 22: Start-Up & Commissioning
Compare the actual straight pipe upstream and downstream of the to achieve desired results. meter location to recommended distances identified in this manual. If straight pipe run is very short, consult ONICON PRIOR to installing the meter to discuss the possibility of using a flow conditioner. -
