Only the trained or qualified personnel shall be allowed to perform product services. Use with caution ! Be cautious for electrical safety, and even it operates at a low voltage, any electrical shock might lead to some unexpected damages. The liquid to be measured should be clean and free of particles, as even light particles may be accumulated inside the flow channel that may result in inaccuracy in metrology, clogging, or other irrecoverable damage. Do not apply for any unknown or non‐specified liquids that may damage the product. Be cautious for the bubbles or cavitation inside the fluid, visible or invisible, that may lead to inaccuracy or erroneous outputs. www.Siargo.com CS3001 User Manual 2 | ...

Do not open or alter any part of the product, which would lead to malfunction and irrecoverable damage. To ensure the best performance of the products, the products should be installed at a base that eliminates environmental vibration as much as possible. There are two pre‐threaded M3 ports at the bottom of the product, as described in Section 3.1. A flat metal plate is suggested to be used as the holder before being fixed onto a solid base. The product is preferable to be installed horizontally. However, if the vertical installation is necessary, the fluid in the tubing must be fully filled, in particular at the measurement position. www.Siargo.com CS3001 User Manual 8 | ...
For the other connections, please contact the manufacturer before the order for customization. The measurement is not directional dependent, and any side of the meter can be used as an inlet. It is important to make sure there are no bubbles inside the fluid for the product's best performance. Therefore, it is highly recommended a de‐bubbler should be installed in the testing loop. The proposed installation schematics are shown in Figure 4. 5. Basic operation 5.1. Check the product specifications Before starting to use this product, check the product specifications found in this manual, Section 7, or the basic information located on the back panel of the product. The product information from this manual is based on the model defined in Section 6. Use any optical scanner such as those with a smart mobile device to read the 2D code on the label for the basic product specifications. In particular, the pressure rating must not be higher than the system pressure of the fluid to be measured. In some cases, the product may be calibrated for specific ranged liquid concentrations for a particular application. The fluid to be measured must also be consistent with that specified by the product. Be particularly cautious about the supplied voltage indicated in the specification. A higher voltage may lead to irrecoverable damage, and a lower voltage will not power the product for any desired functions. www.Siargo.com CS3001 User Manual 9 | ...
Take special care, connect ONLY the power to the RED power cord/wire, and ensure the power supply is within the specified 8~15Vdc before switching on the power. In addition, the power supply should be properly grounded, connecting the YELLOW wire terminal to the ground on the power supply or other safe system ground. The product's power terminal has the incoming voltage internally filtered and regulated to power the product circuitry. The product operates at a maximum current of less than 25mA, commonly available for most power supply. The terminal Vout (BLACK cable) is for analog data output from 0.5 to 4.50 Vdc, corresponding to the specified flow range from zero to full‐scale concentration per calibration. www.Siargo.com CS3001 User Manual 10 | ...
Another analog interface such as 4~20mA is also optional and can be requested by directly contacting the manufacturer. 5.6. Digital interface/measurement The default digital interface for the current product is RS485 Modbus. The other standard digital interfaces such as I C or IO‐Link are also available by request. For each of the specified digital interfaces, the corresponding protocol and a special cable for each shall be required. Please contact the manufacture for detailed information. For each digital interface, the manufacturer also provides a Microsoft Windows‐based evaluation kit for simple operation and measurement tasks. Please contact the manufacturer for detailed information. For the default RS485, the digital interface is the half plex Modbus. One can connect the RS485A (Green wire) and RS485B(white wire) terminals of the provided cable to the corresponding port of an RS485 bus interface on the user's electronics. www.Siargo.com CS3001 User Manual 11 | ...
Alternatively, one can order the special cable by the manufacturer in which an RS485 to USB port converter is integrated. Therefore, it can be plugged into the computer for performing the desired tasks. The digital communication protocol is based on standard Modbus RTU Half‐plex mode. A master (PC or PLC) can communicate with multiple slaves (the current product) for data exchange and communication parameter configuration. 5.6.1. Hardware connection The hardware layer is TIA/EIA‐485‐A, as illustrated below. In this configuration, the product (CS3001) is a slave. 5.6.2. Communication parameters The PC UART communication parameters are listed in the following table. Protocol Parameters RTU Baud rate (Bits per second) 38400 bps Start bits 1 Data bits 8 Stop bits 1 Even/Odd parity None Bits period 104.2 µsec Bytes period 1.1458 msec Maximum data length 20 Maximum nodes 247 www.Siargo.com CS3001 User Manual 12 | ...
The Modbus function codes applied for the product are the sub‐class of the standard Modbus function‐codes. These codes are used to set or read the registers of the product: Code Name Functions 0x03 Read register Read register(s) 0x06 Set single register Write one single 16‐bit register 0x10 Set multiple registers Write multiple registers 5.6.5. Registers The product (CS3001 ) has multiple registers available for the assignment of the various functions. With these functions, the user can obtain the data from the products, such as product address and flow rates from the registers, or set the product functions by writing the corresponding parameters. The currently available registers are listed in the following table, and the registers may be customized upon contact the manufacturer. Where R: read; W: write‐only; W/R: read and write. Note: At the time of shipping, the write protection function is enabled except for address and baud rate. Once the user completes the register value change, the write protection will be automatically enabled once again to prevent incidental data loss. www.Siargo.com CS3001 User Manual 13 | ...

8.2. Precautions for the best performance of the product 8.2.1. Particle contamination It is critical to have the measured fluid free of particle contamination. Since the fluidic measurement channel is relatively small, any particle's presence may create a deformed channel that may create undesired phenomena such as cavitation, leading to large measurement errors. In addition, the particle deposition may also clog the channel, creating instability, resulting in unpredictable measurement circumstances. 8.2.2. Bubbles or cavitation As the measurement principle is via thermal transportation, the presence of the bubbles or cavitation shall significantly alter the thermal property of the fluid. In most cases, the bubble inclusion inside the fluid would lead to a negative deviation of the measurement. Therefore, it is recommended to www.Siargo.com CS3001 User Manual 19 | ...
The measurement channel's wetted materials ensure it is inert to most conventional fluids, but precaution should be applied for any possible damages. 8.2.6. Product calibration The product is calibrated with a high‐precision reference gravimetric system that is traceable to NIST standard. Additional verification with a high precision Coriolis for calibration is also periodically performed. In normal operation, the product should maintain its status as that at the shipment. However, it is recommended that the product be re‐calibrated at least once a year for heavy usage. www.Siargo.com CS3001 User Manual 20 | ...
The fluidic concentration of a specific fluid is sensitive to the fluidic temperature. In the same example of methanol, every 3°C change (as shown in the left figure for 50%wt methanol concentration in water) will lead to a variation in the fluidic density equivalent to the fluidic concentration change of about 1%. Therefore, please pay attention to the temperature value during the fluidic concentration measurement. The current product is calibrated at an ambient temperature of 25°C. If the measurement temperature deviates from the reference conditions, there could be an expected reading shift due to the fluidic temperature change. www.Siargo.com CS3001 User Manual 21 | ...
