•To ensure proper performance, use qualified personnel to install, operate, update, program and maintain the product.
•Read all instructions prior to installing, operating and servicing the product. If this instruction manual is not the correct manual, please see back cover
for local sales office contact information. Save this instruction manual for future reference.
WARNING: Do not operate this instrument in excess of the specifications listed in the Instruction and Operation Manual. Failure to heed
this warning can result in serious personal injury and / or damage to the equipment.
•If you do not understand any of the instructions, contact your Brooks Instrument representative for clarification.
•Follow all warnings, cautions and instructions marked on and supplied with the product.
WARNING: Prior to installation ensure this instrument has the required approval ratings to meet local and national codes. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury and / or damage to the equipment.
•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.
European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)
All pressure equipment with an internal pressure greater than 0.5 bar (g) and a size larger than 25mm or 1" (inch) falls under the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED).
•The Specifications Section of this manual contains instructions related to the PED directive.
•Products described in this manual are in compliance with EN directive 2014/34/EU.
•All Brooks Instrument Flowmeters fall under fluid group 1.
•Products larger than 25mm or 1" (inch) are in compliance with PED category I, II or III.
•Products of 25mm or 1" (inch) or smaller are Sound Engineering Practice (SEP).
European Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The Brooks Instrument (electric/electronic) equipment bearing the CE mark has been successfully tested to the regulations of the Electro Magnetic
Compatibility (EMC directive 2014/30/EU).
Special attention however is required when selecting the signal cable to be used with CE marked equipment.
Quality of the signal cable, cable glands and connectors:
Brooks Instrument supplies high quality cable(s) which meets the specifications for CE certification.
If you provide your own signal cable you should use a cable which is overall completely screened with a 100% shield.
“D” or “Circular” type connectors used should be shielded with a metal shield. If applicable, metal cable glands must be used providing cable screen clamping.
The cable screen should be connected to the metal shell or gland and shielded at both ends over 360 Degrees.
The shield should be terminated to an earth ground.
Card Edge Connectors are standard non-metallic. The cables used must be screened with 100% shield to comply with CE certification.
The shield should be terminated to an earth ground.
For pin configuration : Please refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual.
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
CAUTION: This instrument contains electronic components that are susceptible to damage by st atic electricity. Proper handling procedures must be observed
during the removal, installation or other handling of internal circuit boards or devices.
Handling Procedure:
1. Power to unit must be removed.
2. Personnel must be grounded, via a wrist strap or other safe, suitable means before any printed circuit card or other internal device is installed,
removed or adjusted.
3. Printed circuit cards must be transported in a conductive container. Boards must not be removed from protective enclosure until immediately before
installation. Removed boards must immediately be placed in protective container for transport, storage or return to factory.
Comments
This instrument is not unique in its content of ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive components. Most modern electronic designs contain components
that utilize metal oxide technology (NMOS, SMOS, etc.). Experience has proven that even small amounts of static electricity can damage or destroy these
devices. Damaged components, even though they appear to function properly, exhibit early failure.
