Installation Instructions for the
AWM700 Series Airflow Sensors
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE
Use a 5-micron filter upstream of the sensor to keep media
flow through the sensor free of condensing moisture and
particulates. Large, high-velocity particles or conductive
particles may damage the sensing element.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in
product damage.
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE
Do not use ultrasonic cleaning.
Do not use III Tri-chloroethane, methylene chloride,
methyl pyrrolidone, or any oxidizing type acid such as
formic acid. Solvent cleaning may attack the epoxy that
seals the chip tube.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in
product damage.

GENERAL INFORMATION
AWM700 Series airflow sensors operate on the theory of heat
transfer due to mass gas flow across the surface of the
sensing element. The sensing element consists of a resistor
bridge heater circuit and dual temperature-sensing resistor
bridges. This configuration senses mass flow rates and flow
direction. The AWM700 Series amplified sensors contain all
necessary circuitry for heater control, sensing bridge supply,
and amplifier functions.
CONNECT SENSOR
1. Remove (unlatch) the connector from the AWM700.
2. Hand-crimp the interface wire to the appropriate pin on the
connector (see Figure 1).
3. Insert the terminal contacts into the connector housing
after carrier strip (lead-frame) is removed.
4. Reconnect (latch) connector to the sensor.
The AWM700 Series accepts a latch detent connector, such as
AMP part number 103956-3.
Information and literature on latch detent connectors is
available from the AMP Product Information Center, 1-800522-6752 or the Customer Hotline, 1-800-722-1111. (See
Table 1.)
