Page 4: Section 1 - Introduction
SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION PREFACE Thank you for purchasing Porter’s MPC Series Panel Mount Mass Flow Controller (MFC). Please keep this user’s manual available for future reference. Before operating the MPC Series Panel Mount MFC, please note the safety precautions (warnings and cautions). It is recommended these instructions be read and understood before performing any operation. -
Page 5: Functions
FUNCTIONS MULTI-SETTING FUNCTION Up to four (4) preset flow rate settings can be instantaneously switched to by key operation or external switching input. GAS TYPE SWITCHING FUNCTION The gas type to be used can be selected from the standard compatible gases by key operation. GAS TYPE SETTING FUNCTION The user can set conversion factors for any gas type, including mixed gases, to accommodate gases other than standard compatible gases. -

Page 11: Section 4 - Mounting And Wiring
SECTION 4 – MOUNTING AND WIRING LOCATION Avoid mounting the MPC Series Panel Mount MFC in locations subject to: High and low temperature and humidity. Sudden changes in temperature and condensation. Corrosive and/or flammable gas-containing environments. Environments containing high amounts of dirt, dust, salt, conductive substances (e.g. metal particles, water, oil mist, etc.) and organic solvents. - Page 12 PANEL MOUNTING To panel-mount the MPC Series Panel Mount MFC, the panel thickness must be 2 to 9 mm (.079 to .35”) and a panel cut-out be made to accommodate the MFC’s 44.8 x 44.8 mm (1.764 x 1.764”) housing. To panel-mount multiple MFC’s, refer to the panel cutout dimensions below. Remove the mounting bracket from the MFC’s housing.

Page 13: External Electrical Connections
TUBING CONNECTION When the MPC Series Panel Mount MFC is panel-mounted, use tubing that does not stress the MFC housing. If metal piping is directly connected to the 1/8” FNPT connector of the MFC, the MFC should not be panel-mounted. Connect the tubing to ensure the gas flows in the direction from ‘IN’... - Page 14 WIRING TYPICAL WIRING - 12 -...

Page 26: Section 7 - Troubleshooting
SECTION 7 – TROUBLESHOOTING ALARM CODE DISPLAY When a flow rate deviation alarm occurs or when an alarm occurs during MFC self-diagnostics, the operating mode defaults to the operating mode currently selected at ‘C-16’ in the function setup, ‘Operation selection at alarm occurrence‘. This holds true for all alarm codes except ‘AL71’. The upper display alternately indicates the alarm codes shown in the table below and the regular display, the instantaneous flow rate display. -
