1. General Information

The Hastings HFM-210 mass Flowmeter and HFC-212 flow controller are designed to accurately measure
and control mass flow over the range of 10 sccm to 30 slm, without corrections or compensations for gas
pressure and temperature with an accuracy of better than ±1% FS. Hastings mass flow instruments do not
require any periodic maintenance under normal operating conditions with clean gases. No damage will occur
from the use of moderate overpressures (~500 psi/3.45MPa) or overflows. Instruments are normally
calibrated with the appropriate standard calibration gas (nitrogen) then a correction factor is used to adjust the
output for the intended gas.

1.1. Features

• LINEAR BY DESIGN. The HFM-210/HFC-212 series is inherently linear (no linearization circuitry is

employed). Should recalibration in the field be desired (a calibration standard is required), the customer
needs to simply set the zero and span points. There will be no appreciable linearity change of the instrument
when the flowing gas is changed.

• MODULAR SENSOR. The HFM-210/HFC-212 series incorporates a removable/replaceable sensor module.

Field repairs to units can be achieved with a minimum of production line downtime.

• METER SETTLING TIME. Changes in flow rate for the HFM-210 are detected in less than 2 seconds when

using the fast-response circuitry.

• LOW TEMPERATURE DRIFT. The temperature coefficient of span for the HFM-210/HFC-212 series is

typically less than 0.08% of full scale/°C from 15-45°C. The temperature coefficient of zero is typically less
than 0.15 % of reading/°C from 0-50°C.

• CURRENT LOOP. The 4-20 mA option gives the user the advantages of a current loop output to minimize

environmental noise pickup.

1.4. Optional 4-20 mA Current Output

An option to the standard 0-5 VDC output is the 4-20 mA current output that is proportional to flow. The 4 ­20 mA signal is produced from the 0 - 5 VDC output of the Flowmeter. The current loop output is useful for
remote applications where pickup noise could substantially affect the stability of the voltage output.

The current loop signal replaces the voltage output on pin 6 of the “D” connector. The current loop may be
returned to either the power supply ground or the -15 VDC connections on the power supply. If the current

168-082010_ 210-212 Meter/Controller Page 5 of 17

loop is returned to the power supply ground, the load must be between 0 and 600 ohm. If it is returned to the

-15VDC, the load must be between 600 and 1200 ohm. Failure to meet these conditions will cause failure of
the loop transmitter.

The 4-20 mA I/O option can accept a current input. The 0-5 VDC command signal on pin 6 can be replaced
by a 4-20mA command signal. The loop presets an impedance of 75 ohms and is returned to the power
supply through the valve common.

1.5. Other Accessories

1.5.1. Hastings Power Supplies

Hastings Power Pod power supply/display units are available in one and four channel versions. They convert
100, 115 or 230VAC to the ±15 VDC required to operate the flow meter and provide a digital indication of
the flow rate. Interface terminals for the retransmission of the flow meter analog output signal are located on
the rear of the panel.

The Power Pod 100 and 400 models are built with controllers in mind but will work with meters as well. The
Model 40 is for flow meters only. Throughout this manual, when reference is made to a power supply, it is
assumed the customer is using a Hastings power supply. Hastings PowerPod-100 and PowerPod-400 power
supplies are CE marked, but the Model 40 does not meet CE standards at this time. The Model 40 and
PowerPod-100 are not compatible with 4–20 mA analog signals. With the PowerPod 400, individual channels’
input signals, as well as their commands, become 4–20 mA compatible when selected. The PowerPod-400 also
sports a Totalizer feature. More information about the Power Pods can be found on the Hastings web site.

1.5.2. Interconnecting Cables

Cables are available from Hastings, in various lengths, to connect from the 15 pin "D" connector on the back of
the Power Pod directly to any of the 200 series and 300 series flow instruments (including digital versions).
More information about the available cables can be found in the Power Pod 400 bulletin on the Hastings web
site. http://www.teledyne-hi.com/pdfs/bulletins.htm
