Analog Operation
Your MaxTrak instrument may be operated in two different ways:
1.
Analog Input/Output Operation (this chapter): Using analog input/output signals at the 15-pin mini-D
connector.
2.
Digital Operation with RS-232 and SmartTrak Software (Chapter 4): Using the RS-232 link, the supplied
SmartTrak Software package and a PC-style computer running the Windows operating system.
This chapter will discuss the first of these—Analog Operation. Please see Chapter 4 for digital operation.
Regardless of control options, the standard output for all MaxTrak instruments are two linear analog output signals
corresponding to 0% to 100% of the mass flow full-scale range. Please note that one of these output signals is always
a current signal of 4-20 mA. The other is a user-configurable voltage signal of 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC or 1-5 VDC.
For mass flow controllers, one input signal of 4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC or 1-5 VDC (selectable by user) may
be chosen to set the gas mass flow rate to any desired value within the range of the device. This input signal must
be a direct linear representation of 0% to 100% of the desired gas mass flow full-scale value.
For the location of these signals on the WT connector or the Terminal Strip, refer to Chapter 2.
3.1
Analog Operation, Mass Flow Meters
After your instrument is installed and the system has undergone a complete leak check as discussed in detail in
Chapter 2, you are ready to supply power.
3.1.1
Power Your Instrument
Apply power using Sierra’s power supply or your own power source. See Chapter 2 for complete power supply
requirements. Let the instrument warm up for at least 15 minutes for optimal performance. Check the con-
figuration of your instrument by reviewing the data label details.
WARNING:
The MaxTrak is not a loop-powered device. Do not apply power to the 4-20 outputs.
If the configuration is not correct for your present application, you can alter it. See Chapter 4 or 5 for details on how
to change the configuration of your MaxTrak instrument.
If the configuration is correct, your MaxTrak instrument is now ready for use.
3.2
Analog Operation, Mass Flow Controllers
After your instrument is installed and the system has undergone a complete leak check as discussed in detail in
Chapter 2, follow these steps:
