MAIN

This mode defaults on power up, with

mass fl ow as the primary displayed

parameter.
The following parameters are displayed in

the Main mode.
Gas Absolute Pressure: This sensor

references hard vacuum and reads

incoming pressure both above and below

local atmospheric pressure. This parameter

is moved to the primary display by pushing

the butt on above PSIA.
The engineering unit associated with

absolute pressure is pounds per square

inch absolute (psia). This can be converted

to gage pressure (psig) by subtracti ng local atmospheric pressure from the

absolute pressure reading:

PSIG = PSIA – (Local Atmospheric Pressure)

Gas Temperature: MC-Series fl ow

controllers measure the incoming

temperature of the gas fl ow. The

temperature is displayed in degrees Celsius

(°C). This parameter is moved to the primary

display by pushing the butt on above °C.
Pushing the butt on again allows you to

select 0C (Celsius), 0K (Kelvin), 0F (Fahrenheit)

or 0R (Rankine) for the temperature scale.
To select a temperature scale, use the LN-UP

and LN-DN butt ons to positi on the arrow in

front of the desired scale.
Press SET to record your selecti on and

return to the MAIN display. The selected

temperature scale will be displayed on the screen.
Set Point: The set-point (SETPT)is shown in the upper right of the display.

For informati on on changing the set-point see SETPT SOURCE, page 18.

Volumetric Flow Rate: This parameter is located in the lower left of the display.

It is moved to the primary display by pushing the butt on below CCM in this

example. Your display may show a diff erent unit of measure.
