(b) DESCRIPTION
MODEL TOT-10: Totalizer designed to be used with existing models of GFM mass flow meters and GFC mass flow controllers (calibrated for given flow rate specified on the back label). It can be connected to the modular jack instead of the LCD display, or optionally with the additional connector (CBL­TOT-10) in parallel with the LCD display. Mechanically TOT-10 can be installed on the top of the LCD display with two brackets and screws (supplied only for model TOT-10).
MODEL TOT-05: Totalizer designed to be used with any transducer which has 0 to 5 Vdc output signal and time based engineering units. (i.e. units per sec­ond, units per minute, units per hours) It has to be connected to 12 Vdc power source and 0 to 5Vdc voltage source with additional cable. It is calibrated for given flow rate specified on the back label.
(c) FEATURES
The Totalizer takes analog output flow signals of 5 to 10 Vdc from the GFM or the GFC models, or 0 to 5 Vdc from other transducers. It integrates and accu­mulates up to 7 digits of direct engineering units for the given gas and flow rate (i.e. standard liters, standard cubic centimeters, etc.). In order to reduce low signal (noise) totalizing, provision is made for 1% cut off schematic which allows to accumulate only flow rates which exceeded 1% F. S.

(f) CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
f.1 Equipment Required for Calibration
You will need:
1. Two 4-1/2" digit Digital Multi Meters set to the selected analog
output range and frequency.
2. For TOT-10: GFM mass flow meter or GFC mass flow controller with power supply.
3. For TOT-05: Any transducer with 0-5 Vdc output and time based engineering units and +12Vdc power supply.
f.2 Calibration
Each Totalizer is shipped from the factory with GAIN, OFFSET, SCALE and DIVISION FACTOR adjustments made for a given flow rate (see Table 2). If full scale range for Totalizer was not specified on the back label it was by default adjusted for 30 unit/min which corresponds to SCALE 5.00 kHz and DIVISION 1000. In this case the Totalizer has to be re-scaled for the desired full scale range (see f.4). Internal timing schematic GAIN and OFFSET is adjusted in the factory and does not require additional readjustment when re­scaling Totalizer for different flow ranges or engineering units. The GAIN and OFFSET adjustment procedure (see f.3) must be performed only if the poten­tiometer R12 (GAIN) was accidentally readjusted.
CAUTION: Improper setting of jumpers may result in incorrect
operation of the unit and could cause damage to the Totalizer.

Use this option only if the potentiometers R12 (GAIN) or R19 (OFFSET) were accidentally readjusted.
1. Refer to f.3 and perform GAIN ADJUSTMENT
2. Refer to f.4 and perform RE-SCALING OF TOTALIZER for desired flow range.
Choose from TABLE 1 the option which better matches your case:

f.3 GAIN Adjustment (required only if potentiometer
R12 GAIN was accidentally readjusted)
1. Carefully remove front panel from the Totalizer.
2. Set potentiometer R8 (SCALE) into completely up position (CW direction).
3. Connect the Totalizer to the transducer (see e.1).
4. Using a digital multimeter connected to the 0 to 5 Vdc signal at the output of transducer, set the output rate on the transducer to full scale (5 Vdc). Connect a second digital multimeter with selected frequency function (resolution of 4-1/2 digit is required) to pin [T5] on the Totalizer printed circuit board. Maintain full scale flow (5000 mV output from transducer) and adjust the potentiometer R12 (GAIN) for frequency reading of 5.000 kHz
+
10 Hz.
5. Maintain 2% full scale flow (100 mV output from transducer) and adjust the potentiometer R19 (OFFSET) for frequency reading of 100 Hz
+
2 Hz.
6. Maintain again full scale flow (5000 mV output from transducer) and adjust the potentiometer R12 (GAIN) for frequency reading of 5.000 kHz +10 Hz.
f.4 Re-Scaling of Totalizer (if necessary)
It may be desirable to re-scale the Totalizer for different flow ranges or engineering units.
To change flow range:
1. Calculate the Fs factor which is flow rate specified in UNIT/SEC. ( i.e. standard liters per second [L/sec.], standard cubic centimeters per second [mL/sec], etc.)
Fs = Fm/60;
where:
Fm = Full scale range in [UNIT/MINUTE] for which your transducer has been calibrated (usually shown on the front label). If engineering unit is not minute based it has to be converted. For example 300 SCFH has to be converted to 300/60 = 5 cubic feet/minute.
8
2. Choose scale factor Vs and division factor D from Table 2 which
correspond to your previously calculated Fs.
3. Connect the Totalizer to the transducer (see e.1)
4. Carefully remove front panel from the Totalizer. Using the digital
multi meter connected to the 0 to 5 Vdc signal at the output of transducer, set the flow rate on the transducer to the full scale flow (5 Vdc). Connect the second digital multimeter with selected frequency function (resolution of 4 1/2 digit is required) to pin [T5] on the Totalizer printed circuit board. Maintain full scale flow and adjust the potentiometer R8 (SCALE) for frequency reading equal to Vs. For example if you have a transducer with full scale flow range of Fm = 6 L/Min, your Fs = 6/60 = 0.1 and from Table 1 the value of Vs = Fs * 10 = 1 kHz.
5. Install jumper JP1 into a position which corresponds to your
division factor D from Table1. For previous example, D = 10000 and the jumper has to be installed for pins [7] and [8] JP1.
