If any shortages or damage is noted, please contact the shipping company and/or McMillan Company to resolve the problem. Contents of Box Model 80/80S shown; Model 80D and 80SD have an integrated display. drop Caution: Take care not to your controller.
Flow in the Model 80 Series is controlled by a proportional solenoid valve with active servo electronics. The flow measurement signal is analyzed by micro-processor controlled electronics and compared to a set-point. Adjustments are then made to the valve in order to achieve the required flow rate.
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. 1. General Considerations It is recommended that a safety shut-off valve be installed upstream (before) of the controller.
® 2. Mounting the FLO-CONTROLLER McMillan Model 80 series controllers have no particular orientation or installation requirements so may be mounted in any convenient position. It is recommended that units be fixed to a suitable substrate using the two 4-40 mounting holes provided.
When connecting the sensor to the tubing, take care not to over-tighten the fittings or leaking may occur. 4. Installing a McMillan Inline Filter (Optional). An optional 20 Micron Aluminum filter is available for use with the Model 80 series. If ® this is ordered at the same time (recommended) as the FLO-CONTROLLER it will be preinstalled at the factory.
Read the following instructions carefully before making any connections. a) Overview The Model 80 Series provides a 0-5VDC analog output proportional to the flow rate. This output may be connected to a display, data acquisition system or voltmeter with an impedance of greater than 2.5 kΩ (kilo ohms).

An optional 0-5VDC Input / Output Power Adapter Package is available for use with the Model 80 series. This consists of a power source (115VAC or 230VAC), a connection hub and two cable assemblies with pig-tail (soldered wire) ends. This should be assembled as shown in the following diagram.
At 500sccm the output signal would be 5VDC If the output signal were 3.5VDC then the flow rate would be: 500 ÷ 5 × 3.5 = 350sccm If the maximum flow rate is exceeded non-linear and inaccurate readings will result. 80-M001, pg. 14 of 32...
For a flow range of 0-500sccm (Range 6) : A 5 VDC Input Signal would correspond to a flow rate of 500sccm If a flow rate of 300sccm were required then the set-point would be: (300 ÷ 500) × 5 = 3.0VDC 80-M001, pg. 15 of 32...

8. Recalibration If recalibration is required please contact the McMillan Service Department. 9. Changing the Calibration Gas – Model 80 and 80SD Only The Model 80D and 80SD may be calibrated for up to three gases. These gases, their corresponding flow ranges and accuracy specifications are detailed on the calibration certificate.
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.
