Sierra Smart-Trak 2 Quick Installation Manual

Smart‐Trak 2 Model 100 Meters & Controllers
Note: A copy of this Quick Start Guide, the user software and the manual are also included on the Product Information CD
included in your shipment.
SAFETY
1. Apply power only after reviewing wiring diagrams printed on the back of this card & in Instruction Manual, Ch. 2
2. Apply gas flow only after checking plumbing connections for leaks
3. NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH LIQUID LEAK DETECTOR. If liquid seeps into the electronics or the hidden sensor
compartment, the instrument may be damaged. Instead, use a pressure‐decay test (if liquid MUST be used at all,
limit it to the fittings and keep it off the body of the instrument).
INSTALLATION
1. Consult the instrument's Data Label (on the rear of the instrument) for ALL proper operating parameters. If the
information on the Data Label does not match your process conditions, contact your Representative or Sierra
Instruments Customer Service.
2. Install a 10 micron in‐line filter upstream of your instrument. If the gas contains any moisture, use an appropriate
dryer or desiccant. Particles larger than 10 micron and moisture may damage your instrument.
3. Mount according to Data Label orientation. Horizontal flow is preferable and factory default UNLESS the factory
calibration was performed specifically for vertical flow upward or downward, as listed. Orientation is listed on the
Data Label and on the Calibration Certificate.
4. DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE OUTPUT LOOP. This is NOT a loop‐powered device.
5. Apply power only after reviewing wiring diagrams printed on the back of this card & in Instruction Manual, Ch. 2
Power is applied via the HD DB15 connector. The CAT‐5 RJ45 connector is for the Sierra Remote Pilot Module or
provided 'CRN' cable. DO NOT use the CAT5 RJ45 port for Ethernet—damage to your computer system or the
instrument may occur.
OPERATION
1. Power the unit. If you are using the Sierra provided power supply, it is recommended you attach the D‐sub
connector to the Smart‐Trak 2 before plugging the adapter into the wall. The unit may take longer to start than
normal if otherwise. This will not damage the unit. The green LED above the RJ45 connector will light when the
unit powered.
2. Our Mass Flow Controllers are shipped with a zero setpoint in Automatic valve operation mode. For safety
considerations, it is recommended you confirm this prior to applying gas to the unit.
3. Apply the gas listed on the Data Label to the inlet at the recommended pressure (listed on the Data
Label/Calibration Certificate). Your Smart‐Trak 2 Meter will begin to measure mass flow. This will be displayed on
the user software or display module that you have hooked up.
4. Mass Flow Controllers will need a setpoint input in order to control flow. Do so carefully! You can digitally input a
setpoint using the provided User Software or Pilot Module, or control directly with your analog setpoint source.
NOTE: You can change the setpoint source type using the software or Pilot Module. The unit ships in the
configuration initially chosen (or default if not specified). This information is also listed on the Data Label and on
