Brown 7 6 RS 232Receive in White 8 LogicGround Connecting Filter and Flow Tubes The Model 3063 has an exposed thermal flow sensor which must be protected from foreign matter and particles in the gas flow TSI has supplied a filter which should be connected to the inlet of the flowmeter However any filter will work as long as it has a minimum efficiency of 99 9 CAUTION Always use a filter on inlet of flowmeter Failure to filter the gas flow may change the calibration and or permanently damage the sensor Note Flow direction is identified by the large arrow printed on the bottom side of the flowmeter After attaching the filter connect the flow tube to the inlet of the filter Connecting a tube to the outlet of the flowmeter will create back pressure See Appendix A for flowmeter accuracy specifications when operating at various pressures In general minimize back pressure on the flowmeter to maintain higher accuracy Configuring Flowmeter Through Serial Port The following flowmeter operating parameters can be configured through the serial interface using the serial interface cable and a simple terminal program Refer to the Model 3063 RS 232 Serial Command Set Manual for detailed description on the command syntax Table 3 List of Operating Parameters Select Standard or Volumetric Flow Measurement LCD Display Update Rate Select Data Update Rate for Analog Output Use a term
3. Chapter 4 Maintenance Flow Sensor Periodically inspect the flow sensor by looking into the outlet of the flowmeter Remove dust particles and fibers from the sensor with clean dry compressed air The flow sensor will break if touched Never run liquids through the flowmeter and never touch the sensor with a brush Dust or other deposits on the flow sensor will degrade the 3063 s flow accuracy CAUTION The flowmeter must be switched off for cleaning Only use clean dry compressed air when attempting to remove contamination from the sensor Re certification To maintain a high degree of confidence in the measurements made by the Model 3063 TSI recommends that you return the instrument to TSI every 12 months for re certification For a nominal fee we will recalibrate the unit and return it to you with a certificate of calibration and US National Institute of Standards Technology NIST traceability This annual checkup assures you of consistently accurate readings it is especially important in applications where strict calibration records must be maintained Cases If the instrument case or storage case needs cleaning wipe it off with a soft cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol or mild detergent Never submerge the flowmeter Storage When storing the flowmeter always cover the ends of flow tubes with the provided caps to prevent dust or other foreign matter from entering the tube This page intentionally
