• Follow all warnings, cautions and instructions marked on and supplied with the product.
• Install your equipment as specified in the installation instructions of the appropriate instruction manual and per applicable local and national codes.
Connect all products to the proper electrical and pressure sources.
• Operation: (1) Slowly initiate flow into the system. Open process valves slowly to avoid flow surges. (2) Check for leaks around the flow meter inlet
and outlet connections. If no leaks are present, bring the system up to the operating pressure.
• Please make sure that the process line pressure is removed prior to service. When replacement parts are required, ensure that qualified people use
replacement parts specified by Brooks Instrument. Unauthorized parts and procedures can affect the product's performance and place the safe
operation of your process at risk. Look-alike substitutions may result in fire, electrical hazards or improper operation.
• Ensure that all equipment doors are closed and protective covers are in place to prevent electrical shock and personal injury, except when
maintenance is being performed by qualified persons.
WARNING: For liquid flow devices, if the inlet and outlet valves adjacent to the devices are to be closed for any reason, the devices must
be completely drained. Failure to do so may result in thermal expansion of the liquid that can rupture the device and may cause personal
injury.

1-2 Description
This instruction manual is intended to provide the user with all the
information necessary to install, operate and maintain the Brooks Quantim
Mass Flow Meters and Controllers.
Brooks Quantim Mass Flow Meters are used to provide accurate
measurements of fluid flow, fluid density and temperature. The heart of
these systems is the Coriolis mass flow sensor, which produces an
electrical output signal directly proportional to mass flow rate and density .
Brooks Quantim Mass Flow Controllers couple the Coriolis sensor with
a control valve. Dependant on the application, this can be fully integrated
within the product or remote but close-coupled. The Brooks Quantim
additionally possesses digital signal processing (DSP) electronics and PID
control electronics to provide measurement and control in one complete
package.
The Quantim device is available for a wide range of gas and liquid flows.
(See specifications, Section 1-3 for details).

The nominal flow rate is the flow rate at which water at reference conditions causes approximately 1 bar of
pressure drop or the laminar to turbulent transition flow whichever is lower. Maximum flow rate is twice nominal
flow rate or the laminar to turbulent transition flow whichever is lower.
(3)
Standard volumetric conditions are 14.696 psia and 70°F.
(4)
Actual volumetric flow is a function of the mass flow and density measurements; Therefore, the accuracy of the
actual volumetric flow is a function of the mass flow and density accuracy.
(5)
mln/min Reference Conditions 0oC at 1013.25 mbar.
(6)
Accuracy includes combined repeatability, linearity, and hysteresis. Specifications are based on reference test
conditions of water/nitrogen at 68 to 77°F (20 to 25°C) and 15 to 30 psig (1 to 2 bar).
(7)
Repeatability- The maximum difference between output readings when the same input is applied consecutively;
the closeness of agreement among consecutive measurements of an output for the same value of input under
the same operating conditions, approaching from the same direction.
(8)
Helium leak and pressure test of elastomer sealed devices is performed with integral 5/16" -24 UNF connection.
(9)
Differential pressures are based on reference conditions of water and air at 68 to 77°F (20 to 25°C).
(10)
For applications with fluid density in the range from 0.3 to 0.5 grams/cc the device may be sensitive to 50Hz or
60Hz vibration. The density measurement at temperatures other than 21° C (70° F) has an additional error of
approximately 0.0005 grams/cc per deg C. The density output signal is available below 0.2grams/sec. The
density accuracy is applicable over the stated density range.

General Mounting Practices
Use good piping practices to minimize transmitting any torque or bending
loads onto the process connections on the Quantim. Always verify there are
no leaks prior to starting Quantim on process fluid. The instrument is
delivered from the factory with a rigid surface mounting plate. For optimum
performance, this mounting plate should be used to mount Quantim to a
rigid surface. If panel mounting is required, the bottom of the instrument is
provided with two M4 and M6 (see dimensional drawings, Section A)
mounting holes to properly install the instrument on a rigid flat plate. Panel
mounting is not recommended for Quantim flow controllers with remote
valve configuration.

Horizontal Mounting
If installing the Brooks Quantim in a horizontal orientation, liquids should
flow in the direction of the flow arrow . Situations of entrapped gas in the
liquid process should be avoided. In liquid flow applications, it is
recommended to mount the Quantim in an inverted attitude on the underside
of the pipe to limit the possibilitiy of entrapped gas collecting in the sensor,
which can cause errors (See Figure 2-2).
For use in gas flow measurement, the Quantim should be mounted on the
topside of the pipe to limit the possibility of entrapped fluid collecting in the
sensor , which can cause errors. (See Figure 2-3).

3-1 Operating Procedure
After the wiring cable has been connected, power can be supplied to the
instrument. During initialization, the instrument remains in start-up mode
for about 5 seconds. The START -UP mode is indicated by the alternately
flashing red/green status LEDs on the Meter/Controller .
LEDs are visible through the top cover of the instrument in the NEMA 1/
IP40 package (See Figure 3-1). The top cover must be removed to gain
access to the LEDs in the NEMA 4X / IP66 and the Explosion Proof
IP66XP package options.
Section 3 Operation
QmB Series IP40, IP66, IP66XP
Status LED
The Status LED, indicates the operation condition of the instrument. During
start-up, the status LED blinks red/green once per second to indicate
proper start-up operation of the meter/controller. Then a solid green is
displayed to indicate proper function.
The status LED will be illuminated a solid green color for the meter/
controller, indicating that the instrument is ready for operation.
If the status LED is illuminated a solid red color , a START-UP issue has
been determined by the onboard diagnostic programs. This condition can
only be cleared by cycling power to the instrument. If the issue persists,

After the Brooks Quantim has been fully installed, you must perform the
zeroing procedure. This procedure ensures that the instrument responds
properly to zero flow condition and sets a baseline for flow. To perform the
zeroing operation on the meter/controller, use the ZERO button, which is located
on top right hand side (outlet side) of the instrument. Zero button must be pressed
for at least 3 seconds to initiate zeroing procedure. The status LED will flash red
on and off during the zeroing procedure. (See Figure 3-2).

external shutoff valve downstream from the instrument and wait for the
flow to stop. Set the control function to zero and V.O.R. to normal once
flow has stopped and all pressure differential across the instrument has
been bled off.
3. Make sure that the instrument is completely filled with the process fluid
under normal process conditions of temperature, pressure, density , etc.
make sure there is no entrapped gas in the sensor tube and ensure a
zero flow condition through the instrument.
4. After confirming that fluid flow through the instrument is completely
stopped, actuate the zero function as previously stated.
5. The default zero sample interval is 30 seconds. A successful zero
operation on the controller and meter will be indicated by a solid green
color status LED. A solid red color status LED indicates a failed zero
process. A non-steady flash will indicate a failed condition. A failed
condition can only be cleared by a power cycle.
6. Once the status LED turns green, zero process is complete and the
instrument is ready for operation.
Please note that zero command will only be accepted when the output
change is less than 1% of the maximum full scale of the device. This logic
prevents an accidental zero command from being initiated when flow is
present, through the device.

4-1 General
There are no routine maintenance procedures required to keep the
Quantim device in good operating condition. It is however , very important
to keep the fluid entering the Quantim clean, and as a result periodic
replacement of the inlet guard filter is recommended at a frequency
determined by the cleanliness of the fluid. At a minimum this guard filter
should be replaced on an annual basis.

WARNING
!
Internal seals and component alignments are extremely critical
within this device. Improper servicing of your Quantim can cause
malfunction of the device and/or personal injury. This device
be serviced by factory personnel only. There are no customer
serviceable components within the device. Disassembly of this
device voids all warranties, explicit or implied.
Quantim Flow Meters and Controllers are typically used as a critical
component in fluid systems. These systems can be complex in nature and
therefore isolating a malfunction has to be done with a system perspective.
An incorrectly diagnosed malfunction can cause many hours of
unnecessary downtime. If possible, perform the following system checks
before removing a suspect Mass Flow Meter or Controller for bench
troubleshooting or return to the factory
(especially if the system is new):
must
1. Identify a low resistance common connection and make sure that the
correct power supply voltage and signals are present at the connector
of the Quantim device.
2. V erify that the process fluid connections have been made correctly,
and that they have been tested for leaks.
3. If the Mass Flow Controller appears to be functioning but cannot
achieve setpoint, verify that there is sufficient inlet pressure and
pressure drop at the controller to provide the required flow .
4. Flow control instability can be a result of using Quantim in a system
that includes other active control elements such as pressure regulators.
Depending on the tuning constants used in the Quantim and the control
dynamics of the other active elements, these devices can interfere with
each other and cause flow instabilities. It is very important to take a
complete system perspective when applying Quantim to flow control
applications.

Bench Troubleshooting
If it becomes necessary to remove the instrument from the system
after exposure to toxic, pyrophoric, flammable or corrosive
chemicals, purge the instrument thoroughly with a inert fluid such
as water, alcohol, nitrogen, clean dry air or some other appropriate
fluid before disconnecting the fluid connections. Failure to correctly
purge the instrument could result in fire, explosion or death. The
Quantim Mass Flow device may also become corroded or
contaminated upon exposure to air.

adjustment procedure as outlined in Section 3-2.
a. Only perform the zero operations with the Coriolis Sensor filled
with either 100% fluid or 100% gas at the appropriate pressures
and ensure there is no fluid flowing through the device
(differential pressure = 0 psi).
b. Connect the Quantim to a pressurized supply of inert fluid
(for example high purity water). Fill the Quantim instrument
completely taking care there is no entrained gas in the sensor
and perform the zero operation as described in Section 3-2.
c. When applying Quantim to measure a gas, fill the sensor with
an inert gas (nitrogen or clean dry air) at a pressure near the
process operating pressure.
d. If the output signal does not zero properly, please contact Brooks
Instrument for technical asistance.
3. For a MFC connect a 0-5 Vdc source to Pin 8 and return to Pin 1 or
connect 0-20 mA source to Pin 7 and return to Pin 1.
