Getting Started
The major instrument components are shown in the diagram below.
Most communication with the instrument is completed through digital communication
or analog signals, as described later in this manual. The LED on the top of the instrument
provides the following feedback:
•
Solid Green
:
Power is applied, no errors
•
Flashing Green
: Power is applied, serial activity is occurring
•
Fast Red Blink:
Mass overrange, temperature overrange, totalizer overrange, etc.
•
Slow Red Blink
:
Valve override in effect
Mounting
Mount the instrument so that flow passes through the flow body in the direction shown by
the flow arrow. The flow body must be mounted horizontally, with the flow arrow parallel
to the ground.
Use the (2) M3 threaded mounting holes on the bottom to mount the instrument to flat panels
(see figure above). For dimensions see the BASIS 2 specification sheet at
alicat.com/specs
.
