  • Page 27: Flow Controller Installation Arrangement

    Section 2 Installation Brooks Instrument The GF125 Series is equipped with PTI technology, which reduces the effect of pressure fluctuations on gas flow. In PTI technology, a signal from an integrated pressure transducer is combined with the standard thermal sensor output. The combined signals allow precise and stable flow, even when the line pressure is fluctuating.

    Section 3 Operation Brooks Instrument General After the device has been properly installed in the process, it is ready for operation. When initiating flow, slowly open any upstream shutoff valve to avoid a flow surge. A bypass is helpful in bringing the flow on smoothly. Avoid starting a pump to supply the device without the use of a valve upstream of the device.

  • Page 44: Section 4 Maintenance & Troubleshooting

    Section 4 Maintenance & Troubleshooting Brooks Instrument Overview No routine maintenance is required on the Brooks GF100/GF120xHT/GF101 Series devices. If an in-line filter is used, the filtering elements should be periodically replaced or cleaned. Any precision unit such as a flow controller requires occasional servicing, especially if it has been operating for an extended period of time.
  • Page 45 Section 4 Maintenance & Troubleshooting Brooks Instrument If it becomes necessary to remove the controller from the system after exposure to toxic, pyrophoric, flammable or corrosive gas, purge the controller thoroughly with a dry inert gas such as Nitrogen before disconnecting the gas connections. Failure to correctly purge the controller could result in fire, explosion or death.
