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.

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.

Main power switch

This switch will cut off power to the controller.

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.
