whichever is the longer.
The warranty includes all initial and latent defects, random failures, and undeterminable internal causes.
It excludes failures and damage caused by the customer, such as contamination, improper electrical
hook-up, physical shock etc.
Re-conditioning of products primarily returned for warranty service that is partly or wholly judged non-
warranty may be charged for.
Mass Flow ONLINE B.V. prepays outgoing freight charges when any party of the service is performed
under warranty, unless otherwise agreed upon beforehand, however, if the product has been returned

charges, foreign shipping methods/carriers are paid for by the customer.

General Description
The
MASS-VIEW
®
series operate on the principle of direct thermal mass flow measurement (no by-
pass). An advantage of using this type of sensor is that the instruments measure direct mass flow,
virtually independent of pressure and temperature changes, and have a low pressure drop.
Other advantages compared to conventional meters are the high accuracy and the large range ability.
The
MASS-VIEW
®
series are supplied with totalizer and alarm functions. Flow control can be achieved
by an optional built-in needle valve. A bright graphical OLED display, clearly visible over any angle,
allows reading of actual flow (value and bar graph), total flow and fluid type. The display features easy
navigation through a user-friendly menu, using a 4-way button with centre push. Furthermore the
instruments have 2 potential free alarm contacts grounded on one side.

Housing
The
MASS-VIEW
®
meter has a straight tube with a mass flow sensor. The fluid connections have an
inner thread of G1/4” (1/4” BSPP cavity) or G1/2” (G1/2” BSPP cavity). The connections reside on the
back of the instrument.
The bottom fluid connection is the inlet; the upper connection is the outlet.
For electrical connection and power supply, the instrument has a RJ-45 modular connector on top of the
instrument. These instruments are suited for indoor (dry) applications, like laboratories and in well
protected (OEM) housings. The front part is made of ABS, the back part of Aluminium. The laminar flow
element and orifice size inside the control valve are optimized for the customers gas and process
conditions.
