Structure of D07-7M is basically as same as structure of D07-7A except solenoid valve.
3.2 Operation Principle
The flow sensor that measure the mass flow (it don’t need pressure compensation) is a kind of capillary pipe
temperature difference flow sensor which consists of two dependent resistors winding on the thin-wall capillaries.
As the gas flows through the sensor tube, gas molecules carry heat down the tube from the upstream coil to the
downstream coil, and a temperature difference is produced. The resistance thermometers are parts of a bridge and
amplifier circuit, thus the change in resistance due to the temperature difference results in a 0~5 VDC electric
Page 4 of 27
Page 37
signal which is proportional to the mass flow rate of the gas through the tube. This 0~5 VDC signal is
compared to a set point voltage from a D08 series Flow Readout Box (or other voltage source). From this
comparison, any deviation between set point signal and measured signal are chapleted into a control valve
adjustment until two signals are identical.
D08 series is qualified with power supply, 3-1/2 digital voltage meter, and setting potential meter, inner or out
setting switch and others valve turn-on.

Figure3. Principle of MFC
Flow test voltage output from MFC is direct ratio to the flow through the bypass, the full flow output is
corresponding DC 5V, the flow scope is (2~100) %F.S..
Page 5 of 27
Page 38
Attention:
When Valve controller of MFC is posited on PURGE, it can be used as a MFM. When it is used as a
MFM, the flow test voltage can reach beyond +10V, but it is important, if the flow is beyond F.S. (Full
Scale), flow will not have linearity relation with test voltage. When it is purging, output flow will be
incorrect, but it is no damage to MFM itself.
There are three situations on the panel of D08 series Flow Readout box: OFF, PURGE and AUTO. When it is set
to OFF, valve of MFC will shut off; when it is set to PURGE, valve will open to the tip of flow in order to clean
the gas systems; when it is set to AUTO, valve will control the flow rate automatically.
You can control the flow on the panel of the Flow Readout box, when the set point is on the INT, flow rate can be
set by inputting the Flow Readout box a signal from remote devices, When the set point is on the EXT, flow rate
can remotely input the signal of voltage that provided by users from remote devices.

When need test the output signal Voltage(0-5VDC), users could connect to the “Flow Signal Output” and the
“Signal common” of external control signal socket of Flow Readout Box, also could directly connect with PC
modulus (A/D) converter, +5.00 V output voltage is corresponding as full scale rating flow rate of MFC. Please
be sure the flow testing output electric current will be no more than 3mA.
When the flow is setting by external signals , it should be turned the switch on “OUT”, meanwhile, it should be
input 0-5.00VDC external voltage from external control socket to the Flow Readout Box. In case of user’s
external potentiometer had settled, it could be used a 3.3K multi-turn potentiometer to connect to the external
control signal socket of “+5.00V” and “signal common”. It also could be directly connecting with modulus (D/A)
converter of PC to achieve auto-control, please be sure the flow setting input resistance should be higher than
100 KΩ.
If PC or PLC need perform the OFF and PURGE function of valve control, it could be accomplished by use two
RELAYS (two sets) transfer contacts. One relay controls OFF and anther one controls PURGE, when these two
relays are not operating then it reaches to auto-control mode. Please be careful, it should be not caused short
circuit by two relays simultaneously operating. Suggested relays connection as method as showing in Figure 11.

PC A/D input; “Signal common” connects signal reference point; low-current “common” and heavy-current
“power common”-down lead separately, and connects together to the ±15V power supply common port.
If users need PC performs “AUTO”, “OFF” and “PURGE” functions, we suggested connection as showing as in
Figure 13.
4.6 Zero Adjustment
It could be zero adjusted in case of zero excursions while the first time operating or a long period operating.
Users could adjust the Zero potentiometer from side face (showing in figure 15) or adjust it while removed its
overall (showing in figure 16). Please note it should be sure that gas flow tube could not be open while zero
adjustment (or shutoff the valves); it should be warming up not less than 15 minutes, adjustment performs after
its zero moving to the stable stop.
There is another external zero adjustment function, while MFC connected with our new zero adjustment
functional D08 Flow Readout box, it could be achieved by zero potentiometer of display panel. The important is

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 MFC Operation
5.1.1 Start Up (Figure 12)
The main operating should perform in the Flow Readout Box. Valve Control Switches and flow setting
potentiometer are in the front of Readout Box panel, the flow setting internal or external signal control switches
are on the back of panel of Readout Box. When the switch is turned on the INT position, the potentiometer will
control flow rate; when the switch is turned on EXT position, the external signal will control flow rate (Please
check out the details in Flow Readout Box Instruction).
a. When valve switch is on the position of AUTO, gas supply should be open first and then turn on the power
supply, the flow rate will not be beyond 5% of presetting after flow soft-start about 20 seconds. General speaking
it should be warming up around 15 minutes in case valves shut off and gas flow cut off, after stable zero
movement, normal operation could begin. If there is big zero excursion, please see the reference 4.5, in the case
of non-gas flow, it’s better adjust zero by zero potentiometer.
b. If Valve switch is on the position of OFF, after power supplying, gas supplying and warming-up, turn switch to
AUTO position, flow rate will reach the presetting 2%(or lower) after a few seconds, which is the suggested
operating method.

Zero potentiometer
Valve Drive Switch
Flow Set potentiometer
Figure 12. Flow Readout Box Operating Panel
Page 14 of 27
Page 47
c. If Valve switch is on the position of PURGE, the flow rate will reach up to the maximum value after gas and
power supplying, which will have the function of air blasting to the gas circuit.
d. If Valve switch is on the position of AUTO and presetting is not zero, open the gas after power supply, the flow
rate will have a big overshoot and then rapidly reach to the stable presetting value, this kind of operation should
better be avoided.
e. The best operating sequence should be:
1.Open the power supply; 2. Turn the Valve switch on OFF position; 3. Open the gas supply; 4. Warm up for
minutes to have stable zero point movement; 5. Turn the switch on AUTO position; 6. Set flow rate under
request. This is the best way to operate without an overshooting.
5.1.2 PURGE
When need air blasting and cleaning bypass and tube, users could turn the switch on PURGE position, during the
purging, flow rate value should reach up to times or even several decuples of the full scale flow value. If shutoff
gas supplying, it could be vacuum pumping to get rid of MFC internal or upper reaches remained gas matching
request. And then shut off valves, open gas supply again and turn it to AUTO position.
5.1.3 PC Connection By Displayer
Please find the reference in Figure 1 and Figure 9,it should set the switch of displayer to the
EXT and turn switch to the AUTO position, and then startup PC.
5.1.4 Directly PC Connection
Please have the reference in Figure 1 and Figure 10, after MFC warming up, it could have PC startup.
5.1.5 Valves Drive
When the valve switch sets to AUTO position, users could perform valves drive wire of external control signal
socket, please find the reference in Figure 3 and Figure 9. When valve drive wire connects with +15 V, valves
will be shutoff; when valve drive wire connects with –15 V, valves will be turned to the top of maximum to purge
position; when valve drive wire hangs in the air, it’s in the auto-control situation.
5.1.6 Shut Off Operation
After shutoff power supply, flow will be cut off automatically. It should be better shut off gas supply (Turn valve
switch to OFF position and close the cut-off valve of gas circuit) before power supply.
5.2 MFM Operation
5.2.1 Start Up
Please warm up for 15 minutes by power supply before MFM operating.
5.2.2 Testing and Zero Adjustment
Page 15 of 27
Page 48
Please check up zero point of MFM after its warming up (especially for the first time operating), it could have
reference in 4.5, without gas supplying, which could adjust zero by zero potentiometer.
5.2.3 Gas Supply
After zero movement reaches stable, MFM Could have gas supply. Please pay attention to the flow rate, it should
be better operate not beyond full scale range.
5.2.4 Shut Off
Turn off the power supply, which means MFM operating will be terminated, it could not affect the flow rate of
bypass.
Page 16 of 27
Page 49
6. CAUTION
6.1 Medium Forbidden
The gas of using should be purified without dust、liquid and oil stain. When necessary, it should be added filter to
gas circuit to make sure gas purification. If the outlet of MFC connects with liquid sources, which should be
added simple directional valve of MFC outlet to avoid the liquid is refluent to the tube to destroy MFC.
6.2 Corrosive Gas
The materials of bypass are anti-caustic materials like 00Cr17Ni14Mo2(same as 316Lstainless steel), Teflon, and
Viton. When users operate in condition of without vapor, low leakage, regular cleaning and proper operating,
MFC could possible control the normal corrosive gas. Using ammonia, organic solvent gas such as acetone or
other strong caustic gas (like BC13 and BBr3), please informed while your order statements. Valves sealing
materials usually are Viton, for D07-11/11A/12/12A MFC could also used Teflon. While Teflon has been selected,
there maybe leakage happened of valve port, valve sealing leakage rate will lower than 2% of full scale flow rate;
when use the special caustic gas, all sealing materials should be changed relatively.
For the cases that the MFC/MFM used with toxic, pyrophoric, flammable or corrosive gas, you should
ensure that the fixing and fitting are airtight. It becomes necessary to remove the controller from the
system, purge the controller thoroughly with a dry inert gas such as nitrogen, before disconnecting the gas
connections. Failure to purge the controller could cause a fire or explosion resulting in death.
6.3 Seal of Valves
The Valve of MFC is an electric-magnetic valve for adjustment, which is not a solenoid plug valve so that could
not perform that kind of function. Users should better have that plug valve by themselves. Especially when users
operate with caustic gas, general speaking, it should separately add one cut-off valve of MFC inlet and outlet to
protect operating security. After a long period operating, if the leakage rate of MFC valve outlet is not beyond 2%
F.S, which is the standard situation. Otherwise, it should be under maintaining.
6.4 Valves Operating
When valve is operating PURGE, which should not be directly turned to AUTO, operation should be turned the
switch to OFF position and then turn it into AUTO to operating.
6.5 Installation Position
Keeping installation surface horizontal while installation. Please provide the installation position when ordering
the MFC. We will calibrate products according to the requirement of customers. The MFC might show the zero
drift if it is not installed as the same position of calibration. Customer can adjust zero to fix it.
Page 17 of 27
Page 50
6.6 Pressure Resistance
Please be caution for the medium operating pressure of MFC, it should not be beyond the rage of specification of
inlet and outlet. Especially while operating under the high-pressure situation, the big differential pressure will
affect flow fail to shut off or lower adjustment. In case of using heavy flow rate of MFC, please be sure
appropriately widen tube and reduce gas internal resistance, if operating differential pressure is lower than the
value of request, it might could not be reach to the full scale flow rate value.
6.7 Calibration and Conversion
D07 series is calibrated by nitrogen. Other gas calibrations please inform while your order statements. When the
nitrogen calibration users use other gas operating, it could convert and calculate used gas flow rate by conversion
coefficient of appendix 9.1. Which means users could multiply the readout flow rate from MFC Flow Readout
box with the used gas corresponding conversion coefficient, the result will be the used gas corresponding mass
flow rate of standard situation.
For example, there is 100 SCCM (N2) calibrated MFC, the flow rate is displayed 86 SCCM while firedamp
flowing, the conversion coefficient of firedamp is 0.719 from reference of appendix 9.2, the real firedamp flow
rate is 86 × 0.719 which is 61.8 SCCM.
If users use the mixture gas, it could be calculated the conversion coefficient by the method which introducing in
appendix 9.2.

c. During the warranty period, products must only be repaired by Sevenstar or authorized SevenStar service
centers; otherwise, the SevenStar product warranty will be invalidated.
d. Repairs will be performed free of charge during the two-year warranty period. If MFCs/MFMs are out of
warranty, SevenStar will notify the owner of replacement or repair costs before proceeding. Factory service
and repairs are guaranteed 90 days. The warranty excludes consumable materials and wear parts (in teflon,
viton, etc.).
e. No MFC/MFM used with dangerous gas will be accepted for repair or warranty without a decontamination
and purge certificate.
8.2 Specific warranty requirements are as follows :
a. Gas must be clean and particle-free, which means a filter( <30μ) must be fitted in the gas line upstream of
the MFC/MFM.
b. Gas must comply with the pressure specifications, and never exceed the rated value.
c. Process gas should be in line with the seal materials chosen in the order, especially in case of corrosive gas.
We shall not be responsible for any damage caused by changing process gas or choosing the wrong seal
materials in order.
d. Electrical connection requirements are as follows: The system must be wired carefully: non-observance of
the pin out may irreversibly damage the electronic board inside the products. If user self scheme power
supply of MFCs, a stable and anti-jamming power supply is required, with ripple below 5mV.
e. Gas connections: the fittings must be handled carefully. We guarantee that all fittings have been individually
inspected and are scratch-free.
f. The MFC/MFM must not be dismounted: the MFC/MFM warranty will be invalidated if the seal between
the MFC/MFM block and cover is torn.

MFC and MFM are standard calibrated by N2 while it’s out of factory. Other gas calibrations can be
approximated by converting of conversion factors of our instruction. While using other gas operating:
One single gas: The conversion factors could find out in the users specification instruction.
A mixture of two or more gases: Assume there is “n” sorts of gases, could calculate the conversion factors C by
the following formula:
Basic Formula: C=0.3106 N /ρ(Cp)
ρ — Density of the gas
Cp — Specific heat of the gas
N — Structure factors of gas-molecule (See Table 5.)
