Electrical Connections
If a power supply from Hastings Instruments is used with a ±15 Volt version of the HFM-200/HFC-
202, installation consists of connecting the HFM-200/HFC-202 Series cable (#AF-
8AM) from the “D”
connector on the rear of the power supply to the “D” connector on the top of the flow meter. If a
different power supply is used, use the following instructions when connecting the flow meter.
WARNING:
Care must be taken to avoid any high voltages that may be present when dealing
with power supplies. Power supplies used with 200 Series instruments should be power limited
to no more than 150 VA max. The available current for each 200 Series instrument connected
to a power supply should not exceed 1.6 A.
2.5.1.
Bipolar (±15 VDC) Power Supply to Bipolar Connections
Connecting the HFM-200/HFC-202 Series flowmeters with anything other than the prescribed cables and
power supplies discussed above can severely damage the instrument and void the warranty. The figure
below shows the schematic layout for connecting the instrument to an appropriate ±15 Volt power
supply. A pinout is also given to show the signals available to the user and the signals given and used by
the power supply (Not all signals from the PCB are used by Hastings supplies).
The power supply used must be meet the power requirements delineated in the specifications. If a
bipolar supply is required, the voltages must be referenced to a common ground. Connect -15 VDC to pin
9 of the DA-15 connector and +15 VDC to pin 11. Pins 5 and 12 are both commons and they must be
connected together and to the ground connection at the power supply. Do not connect them together at
the flow controller as the resulting crosstalk could result in flow instabilities.
