2.1

INSTALLATION

Safety Instructions

CAUTION : Aalborg warrantiesandall other direct or implied responsibilities of the manufacturer shall be voided ifusers failto follow allinstructions and procedures described in this manual.

CAUTION: LIFE SUPPORT APPLICATIONS: The DPM is not designed for use in life support applications where any malfunction of the device may cause personal injury. Customers employing this device for use in such applications do so at their own risk and agree to be fully responsible for any damages resulting from improper use or sale.

3

CAUTION: Some of the IC devices used in the DPM are static-sensitive and

may be damaged by improper handling. When adjusting or servicing the device, always wear a grounded wrist strap to prevent inadvertent damage to the integral solid-state circuitry.

2.2

Primary Gas Connections

The DFM Mass Flow Meter will not operate with liquids. Only clean, non corrosive gases may be introduced into the instrument. If gases are contaminated, theymustbefilteredto preventtheintroductionofimpedimentstothesensor.

CAUTION: DPM meters should not be used for monitoring oxygen gas unless

specifically cleaned and prepared for such an application.

For more information, contact your distributor or Aalborg.

The DPMMassFlowMetercanbemountedinanyposition.It isnotrequiredtomaintain straight runs of pipe upstream or downstream of the meter.

It is preferable to install the meter in a stable environment, free of frequent and sudden temperature changes, high moisture, and drafts.

Prior to connecting gas lines, inspect all parts of the piping system, including ferrules and other fittings, for dust or other contaminants. Do not use pipe grease or sealant on process connections as they can contaminate narrow laminar flow elements that may cause permanent damage to the meter.

When connecting the gas system to be monitored, be sure to observe the direction of gas flow as indicated by the arrow on the front of the meter.

Insert tubing into the compression fittings until the ends of the properly sized tubing sit flush against the shoulders of the fittings.

Compression fittings are to be tightened 1¼ turns according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Avoid overtightening which may seriously damage the compression fitting.

Pressure Requirements

Maximum operating line(common mode)pressure for "BREEZE" Low Differential Pressure

DPM04/14/24/34/44/54 series flow meters is 50PSIG (3.44 Bar). If the installation line pressure is more than 50 PSIG(3.44 Bar), a pressure regulator must be installed upstream of the flow meter to bring pressure down to 50PSIG (3.44 Bar).

Maximum operating line (common mode)pressure for DPM07/17/37/47/57/67/77 series flow meters is 120PSIG (8.3 Bar). If the installation line pressure is more than 120 PSIG (8.3

Bar), a pressure regulator must be installed upstream of the flow meter to bring pressure down to 120 PSIG (8.3 Bar)

4

CAUTION: For DPM07/17/37/47/57/67/77 series flow meters, the maximum pressure in the gas line must not exceed 120PSIG (8.3bar).

Applying pressure above 120 PSIG (8.3 bar) will cause permanent damage to the differential pressure sensor.

CAUTION: For DPM04/14/24/34/44/54 "BREEZE" Low Differential Pressure series flow meters, the maximum pressure in the gas line must not exceed

50PSIG (3.44bar). Applying pressure above 50 PSIG (3.44 bar) will cause permanent damage to the differential pressure sensor.

CAUTION: Do not apply upstream – downstream differential pressure exceeding 9.75 PSID to "BREEZE" Low Differential Pressure

DPM04/14/24/34/44/54 series flow meters. Exposure to higher differential pressures may cause permanent damage to the product.

Normally high common mode pressure (within 50 PSIG) will not damage the differential pressure sensor, but pressure transients (momentary pressure variations) on upstream or downstream ports can result in permanent sensor damage to the product.

Avoid instantaneous application of high pressure from quick on/off solenoid valves upstream or downstream of the meter.

CAUTION: Do not apply upstream – downstream differential pressure exceeding 12 PSID to DPM07/17/37/47/57 series flow meters. Exposure to higher differential pressures may cause permanent damage to the product.

Normally high common mode pressure (within 120 PSIG) will not damage the differential pressure sensor, but pressure transients

(momentary pressure variations) on upstream or downstream ports can result in permanent sensor damage to the product.

Avoid instantaneous application of high pressure from quick on/off solenoid valves upstream or downstream of the meter.

CAUTION: Theusershallinstalltheinstrumentonlyinprocesslinesthat meetthe DPM meter’s pressure and temperature ratings. A margin of safety should be provided if spikes and surges exist in the process. Proper pressurereliefvalvesandburstplatesshouldbeinstalledinhigh pressure applications.

CAUTION: To avoid obstructions and contamination in the sensor tube and the narrow flow channels in the laminar flow element, the user should install the instrument in process lines that have clean gases. Upstream particulate filters with maximum particulate size

20 P are recommended for all applications.

CAUTION: Generally, "Mini-DIN" Connector numbering patterns are standardized. There are, however, some connectors with nonconforming patterns, so the numbering sequence on your mating connector may or may not coincide with that shown in our pin configuration above. It is imperative that you match the appropriate wires in accordance with the correct sequence regardless of the particular numbers displayed on the mating connector.

3.1

Power Supply Connections

The AC to DC power supply requirements for DPM transducers are 9 to 26 Vdc, with maximum load current at least 100 mA (unipolar power supply), and maximum ripple below 150 mV P-P.

Power can be applied to the DPM meter either through the power jack (see Figure

) or the 8-pin Mini-DIN connector (see Figure 1 ).

CAUTION: Never apply power simultaneously from both connectors, as this may damage the instrument.

3.2

DC Power (+) --------------- pin 7 of the 8-pin Mini-DIN connector

DC Power (-) --------------- pin 8 of the 8-pin Mini-DIN connector

CAUTION: Never apply power voltage above 26Vdc. Doing so may damage the DPM and/or cause faulty operation.

CAUTION: Make sure power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting any cables or wires to or from the system.

NOTE: The(+)and(-)powerinputsareeachprotectedbya300mAM(medium time-lag)reset fuse. If a shorting conditionorpolarityreversal occurs, the fuse will cut power to the flow transducer circuit: disconnect the power to the unit, correct the faulty condition, and reconnect the power. The fuse will reset once the faulty condition has been corrected.

Output Signals Connections

CAUTION: When connecting the load to the output terminals, do not exceed the rated values shown in the specifications (see Section 5 ).

Failure to do so might cause damage to this device. Be sure to check if the wiring and the polarity of the power supply are correct before turning the power ON. Wiring error may cause damage or faulty operation.

7

DPM series Mass Flow Meters are equipped with calibrated 0-5Vdc, 0-10Vdc or

4-20 mA output signals. This linear output signal represents 0-100% of the flow meter’s full scale range. The user may select the desired analog interface type using a local OLED/Joystick interface or via digital communication interface.

CAUTION: The 4-20 mA current loop output is self-powered (nonisolated, sourcing type). Do not connect an external voltage source

(for example, current loop powered systems) to the output signals.

For 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA output signal connection:

External load Plus (+) --------------------------- pin 6 of the 8-pin Mini-DIN connector

External load Minus (-)--------------------------- pin 4 of the 8-pin Mini-DIN connector

CAUTION: When connecting the load to the output terminals, always check actual analog output interface configuration. Connecting low impedance (< 5K ȍ ) loads to the 0-5Vdc or 0-10 Vdc output may cause damage to or faulty operation of the electronics circuitry.

NOTE: 4-20 mA analog output requires at least 12 Vdc power input.

CAUTION: When connecting the load to the output terminals, always check actual analog output interface configuration.

Connecting high impedance (> 500 ȍ ) loads to the 4-20 mA output may cause non linear or faulty operation of the electronics circuitry.

To eliminate the possibility of noise interference, it is recommended that you use a separate cable entry for the DC power, digital communication interface, and analog output interface signal lines.

3.3

Digital Communication Interface Connections

The digital interface operates via RS-232 or RS-485 (user-selected) and provides access to all applicable internal configuration parameters and data.

CAUTION: Before proceeding with communication interface connection, verify the meter’s actual communication interface type. For devices with OLED display, the interface type will be briefly (for about

2 seconds) displayed on the banner screen when power is applied. If your meter does not have a display, the communication interface type can be identified by briefly pressing the multi-function button and monitoring status LED response ( see Section 6.5).

The DPM series flow meters integrate precision a differential pressure sensor which accurately measures pressure drop across the special restriction flow element (RFE). The geometry of the RFE is designed to ensure laminar flow in each branch within the entire range of operation of the DPM instrument.

According to principles of fluid dynamics, the volumetric flow rates of a gas in the laminar flow conduits are proportional to differential pressure across the restriction flow element. In addition, precision absolute pressure and temperature sensor readings are used to calculate mass flow rate using ideal gas laws.

The DPM flow meter supports multi-gas functionality which allows users on site to select the desired measured gas using local Display/Joystick interface or digital communication interface. See Tables X - XVIII which provide lists of supported gases.

The DPM flow meter can display flow rate in 43 different mass flow or 15 different volumetric flow engineering units. Flow meter parameters and functions can be programmed locally via optional OLED/Joystick interface or remotely via the RS-

232/RS-485 interface or optional Modbus RTU interface. DPM flow meters support various functions including two programmable flow totalizers; low, high or range flow; temperature and pressure alarms; automatic zero adjustment

(activated via local or digital communication interface); programmable solid state relay (SSR); programmable 0-5 Vdc, 0-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA analog outputs; userprogrammable pulse output (via SSR); and self-diagnostic alarms. Optional local

OLED readout with adjusta EOH brightness level provides mass and volumetric flow rate, total volume reading in currently selected engineering units, and

If a flow of more than 133% the nominal maximum flow rate of the Mass Flow

Meter is taking place (displayed mass flow reading is flashing), a condition known as "swamping" may occur. Readings of a "swamped" meter cannot be assumed to be either accurate or linear. Flow must be restored to below 133% of maximum meter range. Once flow rates are lowered to within calibrated range, the swamping condition will end.

The diagram in Figure 13 gives a general overview of the standard top-level display menu structure (when running firmware version A001). The Esc push-button is used to toggle between the Process Mode (PI screens) and the Setup menus, and to return to upper menu level.

In order to move through the menu items, the user must move the joystick

UP and DN . When the last item in the menu is reached, the menu “wraps around” and scrolls back to the beginning of the menu items list. Similarly, when the first menu item is highlighted and the joystick is moved UP , the menu “wraps around” and scrolls down to the end of the menu item’s list. In order to select the desired menu item, the user must press the joystick down (this action is equivalent to the Enter button). To go back to upper menu level, the user must press the Esc button.

All process configuration parameter settings are password-protected. In order to access or change them, Program Protection (PP) should be disabled. Each time the device is powered up, the Program Protection is enabled automatically. By default, the device is shipped from the factory with the Program Protection (PP) password set to Zero (PP Disabled). If the

PP password is set to Zero (Disabled), entering a PP password is not required. A subsequent screen will appear and the Program Protection menu item will be selected:

Moving the joystick DN to select the Disabled option and then pushing the joystick ( ENT ) to save settings will disable program protection.

If the PP password is set to any value more than Zero, the firmware will prompt with “Enter Program Protection Password” (see Figure 10 ).

NOTE: By default, the device is shipped from the factory with the

Program Protection (PP) password set to Zero (PP Disabled).

Once the correct password is entered, the Program Protection is turned off until the unit is powered up again.

There are two methods of data entry: x Direct numerical entry.

x Tabular Input from a menu.

If the menu with direct numerical entry is selected, move the joystick UP or DN to increase or decrease digit value between 0-9. Move the joystick RIGHT or

LEFT to move the cursor to another digit position. When the desired value is entered, use joystick equivalent of an ENT button to accept (to be saved in the

EEPROM) the new value .

NOTE: During data entry, the input values are checked for acceptability. If data is not acceptable, it is rejected and a message is generated to indicate that the new data has not been accepted.

If the menu with tabular entry is selected, the available menu options can be set using the joystick UP and DN positions and are accepted by pressing the joystick equivalent of an ENT button.

Su bm nu “ Ch ng P P sw d”

In order to get access to “Change Program Protection (PP) Password” menu, Program Protection must be disabled. If PP password is set to Zero

(Disabled), entering PP Password is not required and PP can be disabled

from “Program Protection” menu (see Figure 9 ). If PP Password is set to

any value more than Zero, the firmware will prompt with “Enter Program

Protection Password” (see Figure 10 ). The user must enter a program

protection code (up to 3 digits). If the PP password is lost or forgotten, contact the factory or your distributor.

Once the “Change PP Password” menu is selected, the following screen will appear:

In order to protect device configuration parameters when changing the PP password, the old PP password must first be entered.

Use the “Units of Measure" Menu to navigate to Measuring Units settings for

Mass Flow, Volumetric Flow, Pressure, and Temperature readings. This option allows configuration of the flow meter with the desired units of measurement.

These are global settings and determine what appears on all Process

Information screens and in all data log records. Units should be selected to meet your particular metering needs. A total of 44 different mass-based engineering units (Standard, Normal and True Mass) are supported (see Table

VI). A total of 15 different volumetric flow rate units are supported (see Table

VII).

Supported Pressure units of measure are listed in Table VIII, and Supported

8 S ub me nu “ Fllo w A arrm ”

The DPM provides the user with a flexible Alarm warning system that monitors the Fluid Flow for all conditions that fall outside configurable limits, as well as visual feedback for the user via the

OLED, status LED or an SSR output. The Flow Alarm has several attributes which may be configured by the user via OLED/joystick interface or digital communication interface. These attrributes control the conditions that cause the Alarm to occur and specify actions to be taken when the flow rate is outside the specified conditions.

Flow Alarm conditions become true when the current flow reading is equal to or higher or lower than the corresponding values of High and Low Flow Alarm levels. Alarm action can be assigned with a present Delay interval of 0 to 3600 seconds before activating the SSR output. In most applications, the user will want to have a brief delay (2-10 seconds) to qualify that the flow rate is really settled at a chosen level and has not spiked because of some interference. The

Latch Mode control feature allows SSR output to be latched on or to follow the corresponding

Alarm status.

37

The following settings are available for the Flow Alarm (see Figure 13 ):

a) Flow Alarm Mode (Tabular entry)

This function determines whether the Flow Alarm is Enabled or Disabled, the only two selections available. The default entry is Disabled. Alarm Mode selections can be set with the joystick UP and DN buttons, and are accepted by pressing the joystick equivalent of the

ENT button.

b) Low Flow Alarm (Numerical entry)

The limit of the required Low Flow Alarm value can be entered in increments of 0.1%, from 0 to 109.9% FS (Full Scale).

If a Low Alarm occurs, and SSR output is assigned to the Low Flow Alarm Event (see Section

6.4.13.5), the SSR output will be activated when the flow falls below the Low Flow Alarm value.

The Low Flow Alarm condition is also indicated on the corresponding Process Information screen by alternating every second between units of measure and the alert “Lo!” (meaning

Low).

NOTE: The value of the Low Flow Alarm must be less than the value of the High Flow Alarm.

c) High Flow Alarm (Numerical entry)

The limit of the required High Flow Alarm value can be entered in increments of 0.1%, from 0 to 110% FS (Full Scale). If a High Alarm occurs, and the SSR output is assigned to the High

Flow Alarm Event (see Section 6.4.

5), the SSR output will be activated when the flow reading exceeds the High Flow Alarm value.

The High Flow Alarm condition is also indicated on the corresponding Process Information screen by alternating every second between units of measure and the alert “Hi!” (meaning

High).

NOTE: The value of the High Flow Alarm must be greater than the value of the Low Flow Alarm.

d) Flow Alarm Action Delay (Numerical entry)

The Flow Alarm Action Delay is a time period in seconds that the Flow Rate value may remain above the High limit or below the Low limit before an Alarm condition is activated. Valid settings are in the range of 0 to 3600 seconds. The default value is 0: no delay.

38

e) Flow Alarm Power On Delay (Numerical entry)

Sometimes it is convenient to enable the Flow Alarm only after a specified power-up delay interval. The “Flow Alarm Power On Delay” option allows the user to set a specified time interval which must elapse from the moment of the device power-up event before the Flow

Alarm function will be activated. Valid settings are in the range of 0 to 3600 seconds. The default value is 0: no delay.

f) Flow Alarm Action Latch (Tabular entry)

The Flow Alarm Action Latch settings control the Latch features. If SSR output is assigned to the Flow Alarm event, in some cases the Flow Alarm Latch feature may be desirable.

The following settings are available: Enabled or Disabled. By default, the Flow Alarm is nonlatching, which means that the Alarm action is indicated only while the monitored Flow Rate value exceeds the specified conditions that have been set.

6.4.9 Submenu “Gas Pressure Alarm”

The DPM provides the user with a flexible Alarm system that monitors the Fluid

Pressure for conditions that fall outside configurable limits and provides visual feedback for the user via the OLED, status LED or an SSR output. The

Pressure Alarm has several attributes which may be configured by the user via the OLED/joystick interface or digital communication interface. These attributes control the conditions that cause the Alarm to occur and specify actions to be taken when the pressure reading is outside the specified conditions.

PressureAlarmconditionsbecometruewhenthecurrentpressurereadingisequalto, higher than or lower than the corresponding values of High and Low Pressure Alarm levels.

Alarm action can be assigned with apreset Delay Interval (0-3600 seconds) to activate the SSR output. The Latch Mode control feature allows SSR output to be latched on or followthe corresponding Alarm status.

The following settings are available for the Pressure Alarm (see Figure 13 ):

a) Pressure Alarm Mode (Tabular entry)

b) Low Pressure Alarm (Numerical entry)

The limit of required Low Pressure Alarm value can be entered in currently selected pressure units, in increments of 0.1% of the pressure full scale range from 0.0 to 99.9

.

If a Low Alarm occurs, and SSR output is assigned to the Low Pressure Alarm event (see Section 6.4.13.5) the SSR output will be activated when the pressure is less than the Low Pressure Alarm value.

The Low Pressure Alarm condition is also indicated on the corresponding

Process Information Screen by alternating every second between units of measure and the alert "LOW!"

NOTE: The value of the Low Pressure Alarm must be less than the value of the High Pressure Alarm.

The limit of required High Pressure Alarm value can be entered in currently selected pressure units, in increments of 0.1% of the pressure sensor full scale range from 0.1 to 100%.

If a High Alarm occurs, and SSR output is assigned to the High Pressure

Alarm event (see Section 6.4.13.5), the SSR output will be activated when the pressure reading is more than the High Pressure Alarm value.

The High Pressure Alarm condition is also indicated on the corresponding

Process Information Screen by alternating every second between units of measure and the alert "HIGH!"

NOTE: The value of the High Pressure Alarm must be greater than the value of the Low Pressure Alarm.

The Pressure Alarm Action Delay is a time period in seconds that the

Pressure Reading value may remain above the High limit or below the Low limit before an Alarm condition is activated. Valid settings are in the range of 0 to 3600 seconds. The default value is 0: no delay.

e) PressureAlarmPowerOnDelay(Numericalentry)

Sometimes it is convenient to enable the Pressure Alarm only after a specified power-up delay interval. The “Pressure Alarm Power On Delay” option allows the user to set a specified time interval which must elapse from the moment of the device power-up event before the Pressure Alarm function will be activated. Valid settings are in the range of 0 to

40

3600 seconds. The default value is 0: no delay.

f) Pressure Alarm Action Latch (Tabular entry)

The Pressure Alarm Action Latch settings control the Latch features. If SSR output is assigned to the Pressure Alarm event, in some cases the Pressure Alarm Latch feature may be desirable.

The following settings are available: Enabled or Disabled. By default, the Pressure Alarm is non-latching, which means that the Alarm action is indicated only while the monitored

Pressure reading value exceeds the specified conditions that have been set.

The DPM provides the user with a flexible Alarm system that monitors the Fluid

Temperature for conditions that fall outside configurable limits and provides visual feedback for the user via the OLED, status LED or an SSR output. The

Temperature Alarm has several attributes which may be configured by the user via the OLED/joystick interface or digital communication interface. These attributes control the conditions which cause the Alarm to occur and specify actions to be taken when the temperature reading rate is outside the specified conditions.

Temperature Alarm conditions become true when the current temperature reading is equal to, or higher or lower than, corresponding values of High and

Low Temperature Alarm levels.

Alarm action can be assigned with preset Delay Interval (0-3600 seconds) to activate the SSR output. The Latch Mode control feature allows SSR output to be latched on or follow the corresponding Alarm status.

Following settings are available for Temperature Alarm (see Figure 13 ):

a) Temperature Alarm Mode (Tabular entry)

Two selectionsareavailable:EnabledorDisabled.ThedefaultentryisDisabled.

Alarm Mode selections can be set with the Joystick UP and DN buttons and are accepted by pressing the joystick equivalent of an ENT button.

b) Low Temperature Alarm (Numerical entry)

The limit for the Low Temperature Alarm value can be entered in currently selected temperature units, in increments of 0.1 degree within the range of

-20 °C to 69.9 °C.

If a Low Alarm occurs, and SSR output is assigned to the Low Temperature

Alarm event (see Section 6.4.13.5), the SSR output will be activated when the temperature is lower than the preset Low Temperature Alarm value.

41

The Low Temperature Alarm condition is also indicated on the corresponding Process Information Screen by alternating every second between units of measure and the “L” alert, meaning Low.

NOTE: The value of the Low Pressure Alarm must be less than the value of the High Pressure Alarm.

The limit of the required High Temperature Alarm value can be entered in currently selected units, in increments of 0.1 degree within the range of -19.9

°C to 70.0 °C. If a High Alarm occurs, and SSR output is assigned to the

High Temperature Alarm event (see Setion 6.4.13.5), the SSR output will be activated when the Temperature reading is greater than the High

Temperature Alarm value.

The High Temperature Alarm condition is also indicated on the corresponding

Proess Information Screen by alternating every second between units of measure and the “H” alert, meaning High.

NOTE: The value of the High Pressure Alarm must be greater than the value of the Low Pressure Alarm.

The Temperature Alarm Action Delay is a time period in seconds that the

Temperature reading value may remain above the High limit or below the

Low limit before an Alarm condition is activated. Valid settings are in the range of 0 to 3600 seconds. The default valus is 0: no delay.

Sometimes it is convenient to enable the Temperature Alarm only after a specified power-up delay interval. The “Temperature Alarm Power On Delay” option allows the user to set a specified time interval that will have to elapse from the device power-up event before the Temperature Alarm function will be activated. Valid settings are in the range of 0 to 3600 seconds. The default value is 0: no delay.

The DPM provides the user with two independent Programmable Flow

Totalizers. The total volume (mass) of the flowing fluid is calculated by integrating the actual instantaneous fluid mass flow rate with respect to time.

Totalizer reading values are stored in the EEPROM and saved every second.

In the case of power interruption, the last saved Totalizer value will be loaded at the next power on cycle, so the Totalizer reading will not be lost. Use the

“Totalizer Menu” to navigate to the “Totalizer #1” or "Totalizer #2" menu options.

The following settings are available for Totalizer #1 and Totalizer #2 (see Figure

13 ):

a) Totalizer Mode (Tabular entry)

This option determines whether Totalizer is Enabled or Disabled, the only two selections available.Thedefault entryisDisabled.TotalizerMode selectionscan besetwiththe joystick UP and DN buttonsandareacceptedbypressingthe joystick equivalent of an ENT button.

NOTE: Before enabling the Totalizer, ensure that all Totalizer settings are configured properly. Totalizer Start values must be entered in the currently active Volumetric or Mass flow engineering unit. The Totalizer will not totalize until the Process Flow Rate becomes equal to or greater than the

Totalizer Start value. Totalizer Event values must also be entered in currently active volume- or mass-based engineering units. If the Totalizer

Event (action) is not required at a preset total volume feature, set the

Totalizer Event value to zero (which is the default setting).

c) Totalizer Action Volume (Numerical entry)

This option allows the user to activate a preset required action when the

Totalizer reaches a preset volume. Totalizer Action Volume value must be entered in currently active volume- / mass-based engineering units. A

Totalizer Action Event becomes true when the Totalizer reading is more than or equal to the preset "Totalizer Action Volume”. If the Totalizer feature

A local maintenance push button is available to manually reset the Totalizer in the field for DPM meters without the OLED/joystick option. The maintenance push button is located on the left side of the flow meter (see Section 6.5

“Multi-Functional Push-Button Operation”).

NOTE: If the Totalizer “Lock Reset Function” is enabled, the Reset feature is not functional and therefore the Totalizer cannot be reset.

The “Lock Reset Function” parameter can only be changed manually

Function” is disabled, but it can be enabled by the user if the Totalizer reading in the user application must be preserved for the lifetime of the instrument. h) TotalizerReadingDecimalPoint(DP)Precision(Numericalentry)

Sometimes it is convenient to have Totalizer reading decimal point precision much lower than Flow Rate readings (for example, when the

Totalizer accumulates readings over a long period of time). The “Totalizer

DP Precision” parameter allows the user to decrease the number of digits after the decimal point for Totalizer readings from 0 to -5. For example, if the Flow Reading has precision of 3 digits after the decimal point, setting the “Totalizer DP Precision” parameter to -2 will result in Totalizer reading precision of 1 digit after the decimal point. Fewer digits after the decimal point allow for more digits in front of it.

The flow Pulse Output operates independently from the Totalizers and is based

on configuration settings (see Figure 13)

which can provide pulse frequency proportional to instantaneous fluid mass flow rate.

45

The OLED/joystick interface and digital communication interface commands are provided to: x Enable/Disable Pulse Output x Start Pulse Output at a preset flow rate (0.0 - 100.0% FS) x Configure Unit/Pulse value (in current engineering units) x Configure Pulse Active On Time (50 - 6553 ms)

NOTE: The Pulse Output minimum Active On time is 50 milliseconds

(0.05 second). The Pulse Output cannot operate faster than one pulse every 100 milliseconds(0.1second). A goodruletofollowistosettheUnit/Pulsevalue equaltothemaximumflowinthesameunitspersecond.Thiswilllimitthe pulse rate to no faster than one pulse every second.

For example:

Maximum flow rate = 120 gr/min (120 gr/min = 2 gr/sec)

If unit per pulse is set to 120 gr per pulse, the Pulse Output will pulse once every minute.

If unit per pulse is set to 2 gr per pulse, the Pulse Output will pulse once every second.

The Pulse Output incorporates the pulse output queue, which accumulates pulses if the Pulse Output is accumulating process flow faster than the pulse output hardware can produce. The queue will allow the pulses to “catch up” later if the flow rate decreases. A better practice is to slow down the Pulse

Output by increasing the value in the Unit/Pulse setting in the Pulse Output

menu (see Figure 13 ).

NOTE: If Pulse Output feature is required, the Solid State Relay

(SSR) output must be assigned to the “Pulse Output” function (see

Section 6.4.13.5). The Pulse output signal will be accessible via SSR output (pins 1 and 2) on the DPM 8-pin MiniDIN connector (see

Figure 1 for proper wiring connections).

In the static mode, pressing the joystick UP allows the user to page through the PI screens in the forward direction, while pressing the joystick DN pages through the PI screens in the opposite direction. When the last PI screen is reached, the firmware

“wraps around” and scrolls to the initial PI screen once again.

NOTE: PI screens which are not Enabled (masked) will be skipped. PI

Screen #1 (Mass Flow Rate, Pressure, Temperature and Totalizer #1 reading) cannot be Disabled.

d) OLED Operational Brightness (Numerical entry)

Using OLED Operational Brightness settings, the user can adjust the desired level of OLED brightness during normal operation (when the screensaver is not active).

The OLED brightness has 256 differentlevels.

48

NOTE: By default, the brightness level is set to 127 which is the optimal level for room temperature (20 °C or 70 °F).

e) OLED Screensaver Mode

OLED is subject to burn-in. It can retain images on the screen temporarily and, in some cases even permanently if it is left static for too long. In order to mitigate this potential problem, the screensaver feature is provided.

This feature has 4 different modes:

- Disabled (no screensaver)

- Low Brightness

- Vertical Scrolling GHIDXOW

- OLED Off f ) OLED Screensaver (SS) Time Out Feature (Numerical entry)

This menu selection defines atime interval in seconds from the moment the local

Esc button or joystick interface was last used (or, if neither was used, from the power up event) to the moment the Screensaver is activated. Each time the user activates the local Esc button or the joystick interface, the OLED brightness reverts to normal “Operational Brightness Level” and theinternaltimerresetstozero, starting anewdelaycycle.The defaultsettingis900 seconds (15 minutes).

g) OLED Screen Saver Brightness (Numerical entry)

Using OLED Screen Saver Brightness settings, the user can adjust the desired level of the OLED brightnessduring"LowBrightness" screensaver mode(whenthe screensaveris active). The brightness has 127 different levels.

49

NOTE: If Screensaver mode is active and has been changed, new settings will be activated in the next Screensaver cycle (after the Esc button or joystick interface was activated to disable the currently active screensaver). The OLED “Screensaver Brightness Level” parameter is only applicable for “Low Brightness” Screensaver mode. In “Vertical

Scrolling” mode, the normal operational brightness level will be activated. If OLED display is not used in the user application (e.g., the meter is installed in a remote enclosure), we recommend setting the

Screensaver mode to "OLED Off".

h) Flow Rate Precision (Tabular entry)

The DPM Flow Meter calculates Flow Rate Precision automatically, based on selected units of measureandcurrent gas full scaleflowratetokeepthe reading. Bydefault, the Flow Rate Precision is set to “Normal”. In cases where more digits after the decimal point are required, the usercanchangedecimal point precisionto the

“Elevated”level (one moredigit after the decimal point).

NOTE: In some cases, selecting “Elevated” precision may result in unstable readings (the last digit constantly changes). In such cases, we recommend switching the decimal point precision to the “Normal” level.

The following settings are available for “Communication Settings” (see Figure 1 ):

The DPM instrument is equipped with a universal transceiver which supports both RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces. The following settings are available: x Disabled x RS-232 x RS-484

NOTE: The instrument is shipped from the factory with the communication interface type set according to your order.

50

NOTE: Before changing the communication interface type, make sure that the host device (PC or PLC) has the same interface type.

Connecting the instrument to the wrong communication interface may cause damage or result in faulty operation of the electronics circuitry.

This option determines the device’s digital communication interface speed

(Baud rate). It can be set to one of the following: x 1200 x 2400 x 4800 x 9600 x 19200 x 38400 x 57600 x 115200

By default, the device is shipped from the factory with its baud rate set to

9600.

NOTE: The baud rate set on the DPM meter should always match the baud rate of the host PC and/or PLC that it is connected to.

c) RS-485 Bus Address (Numerical entry)

The RS-232 interface does not require bus addressing. The RS-485 interface, however, does require 2 hexadecimal characters of the address to be assigned. By default, each flow meter is shipped with its RS-485 address set to 11 hexadecimal. When more than one device is present on the RS-485, each device must have a unique address. The 2 characters of the address in the hexadecimal representation can be changed from 01 to FF.

NOTE: Address 00 is reserved for global addressing. Do not assign the global address to any device. When a command with the global address is sent, all devices on the RS-485 bus execute the command but do not reply with an acknowledgement message.

NOTE: Do not assign the same RS-485 address for two or more devices on the same RS-485 bus. If two or more devices with the same address are connected to one RS-485 network, a communication collision will take place on the bus, causing communication errors to occur.

51

d) RS-485 Termination (applicable to RS-485 only)

A reflection in a transmission line is the result of an impendance discontinuity that a traveling wave sees as it propagates down the line.

To minimize such reflections from the ends of the RS-485 cable, the user must place a Line Termination (LT) near each of the two ends of the RS-

485 bus. If you are connecting a DPM meter as the last device in the end of a long (more than 100 meters) transmission line, you can use this menu

VHOHFWLRQWRLQWHUQDOO\FRQQHFWDȍUHVLVWRUEHWZHHQWKH56 -485 + and

If the DPM flow meter is equipped with Modbus interface, this menu selection allows the user to change the Modbus device ID (address) and its communication parameters.

Modbus is a standard protocol developed by A.E.G. Schnieder. The DPM supports only the Modbus RTU version. Modbus RTU enable a computer or a

PLC to read and write directly to registers containing the meter’s parameters

(see technical document TD-DPMCMOD-0118 “Modbus RTU slave interface for

AALBORG digital mass flow instruments” for a detailed description of supported

Modbus functions and registers).

The following parameters are available for “Modbus Settings” (see Figure 1 ):

Decimal representation ranges from 1 to 247. By default, all DPM meters are equipped with a Modbus interface shipped from the factory with the

Device ID parameter set to decimal 11.

NOTE: Do notassign the same ID address for two or more devices on the same

Modbus segment. If two or more devices with the same address are connected to the one Modbus network, a communication collision will take place on the bus, resulting in communication errors.

The DPM series Mass Flow Meters are equipped with calibrated 0-5Vdc, 0-

10Vdc, and 4-20 mA output signals. The following options are provided for analog output:

The user can select one of the following: x 09GFȍPLQLPXPORDGLPSHGDQFH x 09GFȍPLQLPXPORDGLPSHGDQFH x 4P$VRXUFLQJW\SHȍPD[LPXPFXUUHQWORRSUHVLVWDQFH

NOTE : Before changing “Analog Output Interface” mode, make sure the load impedance is within the corresponding limits stated above.

Failure to do so might cause damage to the analog output circuitry or result in erroneous readings.

CAUTION: The 4-20 mA current loop output is self-powered

(sourcing non-isolated type). Do NOT connect an external voltage source to the output signals. (See Section 3.2 for proper wiring connections.)

The DPM analog output calibration involves calculation and storing the offset and span variables in the EEPROM based on two calibration points

(0 and 100% F.S.). The 0-5 and 0-10 outputs have only scale variables, and the 4-20 mA output has offset and scale variables.

54

NOTE: The analog outputs available in the DPM meter were calibrated at the factory. There is no need to perform analog output calibration unless the analog to digital converter (DAC) IC, output amplifier IC, or passive components from analog output circuitries were replaced or your factory customer support representative suggested recalibration. Any alteration of the analog output scaling variables in the EEPROM will void the calibration warranty supplied with the instrument.

Power up the DPM meter for at least 30 minutes prior to commencing the calibration procedure. Observe the current analog output mode settings.

For 0-5 or 0-10 Vdc output calibration:

Connect the corresponding type of measurement device (voltmeter) to pins 6 (plus) and 4 (minus) of the 8-pin MiniDIN connector.

For 4-20 mA output calibration:

Connect the corresponding type of measurement device (ampmeter) to pins 6 (plus) and 4 (minus) of the 8-pin MiniDIN connector.

Follow firmware prompts and adjust calibration point values according to your measurement device reading by use of the joystick UP , DN , LEFT and RIGHT buttons. If you need to abort calibration, press the Esc button.

When the calibration is complete, the firmware will display new offset and span values and ask the user to press the joystick ENT button to save the new calibration variables to the EEPROM, or to press the Esc button to abort calibration and exit without saving any changes. When the process is done, the firmware will prompt the user with a confirmation message.

This menu selection must be used only for troubleshooting purposes as requested by your customer support representative. It allows for emulating analog output readings by entering a desired flow rate reading in % of full scale, from 0.0 to 110.0%.

55

CAUTION: When “Analog Output Test” is selected, the output reading does not represent any actual Process Information (PI) variable (flow rate reading).

Adjust the desire flow output value using the joystick UP , DN , LEFT and

RIGHT buttons. Press the joystick ENT button to activate analog output.

To abort the analog output test mode, press the Esc button. Once the test mode is deactivated, the analog output should represent actual flow rate readings. attu s L ettttiin s

DPM series Mass Flow Meters are equipped with dual color LED which allows signaling a variety of different events with combinations of three colors (red, green and amber) and a specific time pattern. Status LED operation can be adjusted/ filtered for the indication of different events based on custom user needs.

The DPM includes an auto zero function that, when activated, automatically adjusts the differential pressure sensors to read zero. The initial zero adjustment for your DPM was performed at the factory.

It is not required to perform zero calibration unless the device has zero reading offset with no flow conditions or the absolute pressure sensor reading is not accurate.

NOTE: Before performing Zero Calibration, make sure the device is powered up for atleast15 minutes and absolutely no flow condition is established. For better results, it is recommended that you start Auto

Zero at least 30 minutes after power was applied to the flow meter.

57

Shut off the gas flow into the DPM meter. To ensure that no seepage or leaking occurs into the meter, it is good practice to temporarily disconnect the gas source. The Auto Zero may be initiated locally using optional OLED/joystick

interface (see Figure 1

) or by pressing the multi-functional maintenance push button located on the left side of the meter, or via digital communication

interface (see Figure 4 : DPM Interface Connectors and Maintenance Push

Button).

The DPM instrument is equipped with a high accuracy, high resolution absolute pressure sensor which was calibrated at the factory and does not require additional calibration. Depending on actual installation conditions, however, during operation it may periodically require the auto tare procedure to increase accuracy.

CAUTION : The AP Auto Tare procedure must be performed with absolutely no flow conditions. Make sure both inlet and outlet ports of the instrument are connected to the atmosphere.

NOTE: Before performing AP Auto Tare, make sure the device is powered for at least 15 minutes and absolutely no flow condition is established. For best results, we recommend starting AP Sensor

Tare at least 30 minutes after power was applied to the flow meter.

59

NOTE : The AP Sensor Tare procedure requires high accuracy (at least 0.2% of reading) absolute pressure sensor reference standard.

The AP sensor Tare result will be as accurate as your reference absolute pressure sensor is.

To start the AP sensor Tare procedure locally using the OLED/joystick interface, select “Sensor Zero Calibration” from the main menu, then navigate to the “Start

7 MAINTENANCE

7..11 G en

It is important that be DPM Mass Flow Meter be used only with clean, dry, non-corrosive filtered gases. Liquids may not be metered. Since the restrictor flow element (RFE) consists of small stainless steel channels, it is prone to occlusion due to impediments of large particles or gas crystallization. Other flow passages are also easily obstructed.

Great care, therefore, must be exercised to avoid the introduction of any potential flow impediment. To protect the instrument, we recommend the use of in-line filters: 5 P (DPM07) or 20 P (DPM17/37/47). There is no other maintenance required. It is good practice, however, to keep the meter away from vibration, hot corrosive environments, and excessive RF or magnetic interference. We recommend that meters be returned to Aalborg

£ for repair service and calibration (see Section 1.3).

CAUTION: TO PROTECT SERVICING PERSONNEL, IT IS

MANDATORY THAT ANY INSTRUMENT BEING RETURNED FOR

SERVICE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY PURGED AND

NEUTRALIZED OF TOXIC, BACTERIOLOGICALLY INFECTED,

CORROSIVE OR RADIOACTIVE CONTENTS.

ea niin

Before attempting any disassembly of the meter for clearning, we recommend inspecting the flow paths by looking into the inlet and outlet ends of the meter for any debris that may be clogging the flow through the instrument. Remove debris as necessary. If the blockage still exists, contact Aalborg or your local distributor to arrange for repair or cleaning service.

CAUTION: DISASSEMBLY MAY COMPROMISE CURRENT

CALIBRATION. After RFE and flow paths cleaning, a recalibration is needed. Aalborg offers professional calibration support. Contact Aalborg or your local distributor for cleaning and recalibration options.

73

8 RECALIBRATION

The recommended period for recalibration of the DPM flow meter is once annually.

Aalborg

£

Instruments’ Flow Calibration Laboratory offers professional calibration support for Mass Flow Meters using NIST-traceable precision calibrators under strictly controlled conditions. NIST-traceable calibrations are available.

CAUTION: DPM flow meters can be only calibrated by Aalborg

Instruments' Flow Calibration Laboratory or an Aalborg authorized trained and certified calibration facility.

9 RS-235/RS-485 SOFTWARE INTERFACE COMMANDS

9..11 G en

The standard DPM meter comes with an RS-232 interface; an RS-485 interface is optional. For the RS-232 interface, the start character is !

and two hexadecimal characters for the address must be omitted. The protocol described below allows for communications with the unit using either a custom software program or a “dumb terminal”. All values are sent as print

ASCII characters.

For the RS-485 interface, the start character is always !

. The command string is terminated with the equivalent of a carriage return; line feeds are automatically stripped out by the DPM. (See Section 3.3 for information regarding communication parameters and cable connections.)

9.2 Commands Structure

The structure of the command string is as follows:

RS-485 !<Addr>,<Cmd>,Arg1,Arg2,Arg3,Arg4<CR> Example: !11,F<CR>

RS-232 <Cmd>,Arg1,Arg2,ARg3,Arg4<CR> Example: F<CR>

!

Where:

Addr

Start character ** ( must only be used for RS-485 option )

RS-485 device address in the ASCII representation of hexadecimal

Cmd

Arg1 to

Arg4

CR

(00 through FF are valid). ** ( must only be used for R-485 option )

The one- or two-character command (see examples below)

The command arguments (see examples below). Multiple arguments are comma-delimited.

Carriage Return character

74

NOTE: The default RS-485 address for all units is 11. Never submit the start character with a two-character hexadecimal device address for the RS-232 option.

Several examples of commands are shown below. All assume that the DPM meter has been configured for decimal address 18 (12 hex) on the RS-485 bus:

1. To get currently selected Gas:

The DPM will reply:

2. To get current Flow Rate Alarm status:

The DPM will reply:

!12,G<CR>

!12,G:0,AIR<CR> (assuming the

Current Gas is #0, calibrated for AIR)

!12,FA,R<CR>

!12,FAR:N<CR> (assuming no flow alarm conditions)

3. To get a mass and volumetric flow reading:

The DPM will reply:

4. Set the High and Low Flow Alarm limit to 90% and 10% of Full Scale flow rate:

The DPM will reply:

!12,F<CR>

!12,50.0,50.3<CR> (assuming the mass flow is at 50% FS)

!12,FA,C,90.0,10.0<CR>

!12,90.00,10.00,<CR>

NOTE: Address 00 is reserved for global addressing. Do not assign the global address to any device. When commands with the global address are sent, all devices on the RS-485 bus execute the command but do not reply with an acknowledgement message.

The global address can be used to change RS-485 address for a particular device without local display and joystick interface with unknown address:

1. Make sure only one device (whose address must be changed) is connected to the RS-485 network.

2. Type the memory write command with the global address:

!00,MW,118,XX,<CR> where XX, the new hexadecimal address, can be from 01 to FF.

After the new address has been assigned, a device will accept commands with the new address.

75

NOTE: Do not assign the same RS-485 address to two or more devices on the same RS-485 bus. If two or more devices with the same address are connected to one RS-485 network, a communication collision on the bus will result, leading to communication errors.

Your DPM Mass Flow Meter was thoroughly checked at numerous quality control points during and after manufacturing and assembly operations. It was calibrated according to your desired flow and pressure conditions for a given gas or mixture of gases.

It was carefully packed to prevent damage during shipment. Should you feel that the instrument is not functioning properly, please check first for these common conditions: x Are all cables connected correctly?

x Are there any leaks in the installation?

x Is the power supply correctly selected according to requirements? When several meters are used, a power supply with appropriate current rating should be selected.

x Were the connector pinouts matched properly?

x When interchanging with other manufacturers’ equipment, cables and connectors must be carefully wired for correct pin configurations. Check these.

x Is the pressure differential across the instrument sufficient?

LIKELY REASON

Output 0-5Vdc schematic is burned out or damaged.

Analog flow output scale and offset variable are corrupted.

PC board or sensor is defective.

SOLUTION

Return DPM to factory for repair.

Restore original EEPROM scale and offset variable or perform analog output recalibration (see

Section 6.4.

3.6).

OLED Display reading and 0-5Vdc output voltage do correspond to the correct flow range, but 4-20 mA output signal does not change (always the same or reading around 4.0 mA).

Reduce the value of the flashing parameter within specified limits.

For example, reduce Mass Flow rate below 133% of instrument full scale range. NOTE: When at least one parameter is flashing on the display, the value of this parameter and mass flow reading cannot be considered accurate.

Return DPM to factory for repair.

Gas flows through the

The error between 1. Instruments may be

DPM mass flow reading and another meter connected in series is more than combined configured to measure different Gas.

2. Other meter mass flow may have different standard conditions settings.

accuracy for both instruments.

3. There is leakage in the pipe between the DPM and other meter.

1. Check that both instruments are configured to measure the same Gas.

2. Make sure both instruments provide mass flow reading for the same Standard Conditions.

3. Check installation connections for leakage.

Gas flows through the DPM, output voltage 0-5Vdc signal does not respond to flow

(reading near

1mV). OLED

Display reading is negative.

11 Flow reading is unstable or jumps up and down.

Direction of the gas flow is reversed.

DPM is connected in the installation with back pressure conditions, and a gas leak exists in the system.

1. The DPM instrument response time is less than

20 ms, which makes meter react on quick flow variations normally associated with diaphragm pumps or faulty pressure regulators.

Check the direction of gas flow as indicated by the arrow on the front of the meter and make required reconnection in the installation.

Locate and correct gas leak in the system. If DPM has internal leak, return it to factory for repair.

1. DPM has Signal Conditioner settings which allow user to adjust instrument response time constant according to application requirements.

2. Some obstructions

(Teflon tape shreds or other big particulars) in the upstream connection.

2. Inspect inside of instrument upstream connections for debris.

13 The Status LED indicator is constantly on with the RED light.

CPU temperature is too high

(overload).

Disconnect power from the

DPM. Make sure the ambient temperature is within specified range (below 60°C). Let the device cool down for at least

15 minutes. Apply power to the

DPM and check DE #0 status.

If DE with code #0 is active again, the unit has to be returned to the factory for repair.

Fatal Error (EEPROM or

Auto Zero error).

Cycle the power on the DPM. If

Status LED still constantly on with RED light, wait 1 minute and start Auto Zero function

(see Section

6.4.

4 Zero Calibration). If after Zero Calibration the Fatal

Error condition appears again, return the meter to the factory for repair.
