Introduction Unpacking McMillan suitably packages all sensors to prevent damage during shipping. If external damage is noted upon receipt of the package, please contact the shipping company immediately. McMillan Company is not liable for damage to the device once it has left the manufacturing premises.
Installation Caution: Do not exceed the pressure, temperature or power operating ranges detailed in the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual. McMillan Company shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused by incorrect operation of their products. 100-M004, pg. 4 of 36...
This is the same position that the unit is calibrated in at the factory. Please contact the McMillan Service Department if calibration for mounting in another orientation is desired.
Only use the factory installed fittings on the unit. If the fittings are removed the calibration of the unit may be effected and leaking may occur. If different fittings are required please contact the McMillan Company Service Department for assistance.
Read the following instructions carefully before making any connections. Overview ® McMillan FLO-SENSORS for gases provide a 0-5VDC output proportional to the volumetric flow rate. This output may be connected to a display, data acquisition system or voltmeter. The Model 110, S-110 and S-113 ®...
Connecting wires should be as short as possible to avoid voltage drops. Twisted 2 pair conductor cable of a suitable gauge should be used if the length of the power wires is to be longer than 1 meter (3.2 feet). Units are supplied with an integral 4 pin connector.
Electrical Connections – Voltage Output Units The cable assembly should be connected to the sensor as detailed in section 5(b) above. Do not apply power to the sensor until all the connections have been made and checked. Electrical connections should be made as follows: Wiring Schematic For Voltage Output Units.
Using a 0-5VDC Output Power Adapter Package. An optional 0-5VDC Output Power Adapter Package is available for use with the Model 100, S-110 and S-113. The Model 110 is supplied complete with a 0-5VDC Output Power Adapter Package. The 0-5VDC Output Power Adapter Package consists of a power source (115VAC or 230VAC) and cable assembly with pig-tail (soldered wire) ends for the signal output.
Using a 4-20mA Output Signal Converter Package (D-24 VDC). An optional 4-20mA Output Signal Converter Package is available for use with the Model 100, S-110 and S-113. This consists of a signal converter, a cable assembly to connect the converter to the sensor and a cable assembly to connect to the 4-20mA (active current) output signal.
Before applying power to the unit check all tubing and electrical connections. Once correct installation is verified switch on the power. Flow Readings ® The McMillan Model 100 FLO-SENSOR for gases provides a 0-5VDC output proportional to the volumetric flow rate. ®...
For example: For a flow range of 100-500ml/min (Range 5) : At 500ml/min the output signal would be 5VDC If the output signal were 3.5VDC then the flow rate would be: (500 ÷ 5) × 3.5 = 350ml/min If the maximum flow rate is exceeded non-linear and inaccurate readings will result.
LCD Flow Display (Model S-114 shown, other S Series models similar) Operating at Flow Rates Outside the Calibrated Flow Range CAUTION:. If the flow through the unit exceeds 120% of the maximum rated (full scale) flow the unit may be damaged.
Zero Adjustments It is impossible for there to be any zero drift so zero adjustments are never required. Recalibration ® Please contact the McMillan Service Department if your FLO-SENSOR ® FLO-METER needs recalibration. ® ® Using FLO-SENSORS or FLO-METERS with Different Gases ®...

CAUTION:. The use of correction factors can be subject to inaccuracy and errors of up to ±10%. Please contact the McMillan Service Department if accurate, certified recalibration is required. Calculating a correction factor for a gas enables the calibration of the unit to be adjusted for that gas.
Returning Units for Repair or Recalibration To return a unit for repair or recalibration please contact the McMillan Service Department or follow the procedure detailed on the McMillan web site. A Return to Manufacturer Authorization (RMA) number will then be issued to enable the unit to be returned.
