1-2 Description
The Brooks Model 5860
i
Mass Flow Meter is widely used where manual,
electronic or computer controlled gas handling occurs. The Model 5860
i
consists of two basic units: a flow sensor and an integral electronic signal
conditioner. This combination produces a stable gas flow indication, which
eliminates the need to continuously monitor and compensate for changing
gas pressures and temperatures. Standard features include:
Fast Response
rapidly indicates changes in actual mass flow rate. Refer
to Figure 1-1.
Removable Cleanable Sensor
permits the user to clean or replace the
sensor. Refer to Section 4-4.
Output Limiting
prevents possible damage to delicate data acquisition
devices by limiting the output to +6.8 Vdc and -.7 Vdc on the voltage
signal output and 0 to 26 mA on the current output.
