Safety Information
To avoid electrical shock, always:
1. Use a properly grounded electrical outlet of
correct voltage and current handling capability.
2. Ensure that the equipment is connected to
electrical service according to local national
electrical codes. Failure to properly connect may
create a fire or shock hazard.
3. For continued protection against possible
hazard, replace fuses with same type and rating
of fuse.
4. Disconnect from the power supply before
maintenance or servicing.
To avoid personal injury:
1. Do not use in the presence of flammable or
combustible materials; fire or explosion may
result. This device contains components which
may ignite such material.
2. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Intended Usage
This controller has been designed for use with
Parr Pressure Vessels and Reactors. It has been
designed, built, and tested to strict physical
and electrical standards. However, it is the
user’s responsibility to install and operate it in
conformance with local pressure and electrical
codes.
If the instrument is used in a manner not specified
by Parr Instrument Company, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Establish training procedures to ensure that any
person handling the equipment knows how to use it
properly.
Unpack Carefully
Unpack the equipment carefully and check all the
parts against the packing list. If shipping damage is
discovered, report it immediately to the delivering
carriers. Examine the components closely for any
loose parts or shipping damage and be sure to
check all layers of packing materials thoroughly so
as not to overlook any parts which might otherwise
be discarded.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Periodic cleaning may be performed on the exterior
surfaces of the controller with a lightly dampened
cloth containing mild soap solution. All power
should be disconnected and the power cord should
be unplugged when cleaning the A2200E Controller.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the
product other than what is specifically called
out and discussed in this manual. Advanced
troubleshooting instructions beyond the scope
of this manual can be obtained by calling Parr
Instrument Company in order to determine which
part(s) may be replaced or serviced.
Provisions for Lifting and Carrying
Before moving the instrument, disconnect all
connections from the rear of the apparatus. Lift the
instrument by grabbing underneath each corner.

Electrical Ratings
115/230VAC, 3.0 Amps max, 50/60 Hz
Before connecting a controller to an electrical outlet,
the user must be certain that the electrical outlet has
an earth ground connection and that the line, load
and other characteristics of the installation do not
exceed the following limits:
Voltage: Fluctuations in the line voltage should not
exceed 10% of the rated nominal voltage shown on
the data plate.
Frequency: Controllers can be operated from either
a 50 or 60 Hertz power supply without affecting their
operation or calibration.
Current: The total current drawn should not exceed
the rating shown on the data plate on the controller
by more than 10 percent.

Flow Controller
Installation
General Instructions
Set the controller near the reactor on a sturdy bench
or table where there is convenient access to an
electrical outlet capable of carrying the appropriate
current. Leave a space of at least twelve inches
between the controller and the reactor so that the
controller will not be affected by radiant heat.
Inputs/Outputs
Up to 4 MFC I/O connectors and corresponding meters can be supplied with each A2200E. The A2200E
I/O’s are to only be used with Parr approved controllers. The interface is designed for mass flow controllers which are specified during the ordering process.
An interface cable is supplied for each I/O.
With the A2200E powered off, attach the provided
I/O cable(s) to each MFC. Then attach the opposing
end to the A2200E Flow Controller.
If more than one MFC has been supplied it is recommended that each I/O be identified as to which MFC
is connected.
A2200E Rear Panel
Attach the supplied power cord to the POWER
INPUT connector located on the rear panel of the
A2200E Flow Controller.
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded
electrical supply outlet.

Protective Fuses
Main fuses are mounted on the back panel of the
flow controller. These fast acting, 250VAC, 4 amp
fuses are intended to protect the controller and supply in case of a fault condition.
Warning:
Unplug unit before servicing. For continued protection against possible hazard,
replace fuses with same type and rating of
fuse.

Instructions for the A2200E Flow Controller
Each A2200E can be supplied with up to four I/O’s.
These I/O’s are used to interface the Mass Flow Controllers on the corresponding reactor system.
The AUTO/MAN key is used only during the pro-
gramming process. It is used to “set” a new value
for a displayed variable. It is also used for other
functions within the meter not specific to the application of the A2200E.
The Up and Down Arrow keys are used to increment
values for each displayed variable.
The SP indication displays the current set point
value which relates to a scaled linear output voltage
or current transmitted to the corresponding mass
flow controller.
The set point can be changed by pressing the Return
key (Circular Arrow) once while in the operation
mode. SP will now be displayed in the SP position.
Use the Up or Down arrow key to select the flow
rate you would like to use. Pressing the Return key
will return the display to normal operation.
In modes other than operation, the SP display indicates a specific variable and the PV display indicates
the current value for that variable. If the PV display
is flashing the current value displayed has not yet
been set and this is done using the AUTO/MAN key.
Each unit is locked with pre-programmed specifications. For troubleshooting or making changes to the
programming follow the instructions below.
The Return key (circular arrow) is used for navigating through each variable in the different mode
menus.
In operation mode on the normal operating display,
the PV indication relates to the flow value transmitted from the Mass Flow Controller. As supplied the
PV value represents the flow in units of SCCM (Standard Cubic Centimeters per Minute; where standard
is 0 °C and 1 ATM.

Navigating the Menus
To navigate to the menu select mode, hold down the
Return key and press the Up Arrow key. To navigate
in the select mode press the Up Arrow or Down Ar-
row key and then the Return key to enter the chosen
mode.
Once in the desired mode press the Return key to
navigate to each parameter, use the Up Arrow or
Down Arrow to change the respective parameter
value. Pressing the Auto/Man key or pressing the
Return key will save the new value.
