How To Adjust the Controller Gain
Adjust the controller gain if the flow signal oscillates. Reducing the controller gain will reduce
the signal oscillation. The controller gain adjustment pot is located on the upstream side of the
controller. Refer to Figure 1, page 12, for the location of the gain pot.
•
To decrease flow signal oscillation: Turn the controller gain counter-clockwise to
decrease the controller gain setting.
Note
Lowering the supply pressure to the MFC will have the same effect as
decreasing the gain since it will reduce the overflow/underflow effect of
the valve.
•
To increase MFC response to a change in set point: Increase the controller gain slightly.
To increase the controller gain, turn the controller gain pot clockwise.
