Remote Flow Control

Remote flow control can be accomplished using TTL logic control. The MFC Interface
connector J8 provides the means to remotely turn the flow on/off and to adjust and monitor the
flow rate using a set point signal from an external voltage. Refer to Table 8, page 34, for the
MFC Interface connector pinout. Refer to How To Control Gas Flow with TTL Logic, page 66,
for more information.
