Profile：

FR03H flow sensor is an upgrading developed from F1012 . It adopts MEMS Thermal principle to monitor the flow of pipeline gas medium. This product adopts low  pressure loss design and is widely used for all kinds of gas measurement.

Features：

• High sensitivity；
•  Very low pickup flow；
• High Accuracy；
• Low voltage loss;
• Modular design;
• High measurement repeatability;
• Suitable for customization of various products

Technical Parameters

3.1 Structure Parameters

3.2 Electrical Index

3.2 Calibration
The flow sensor of our company adopts standard condition and air calibration by default. If the user has special requirements, calibrate according to the customer’s requirements.

3.2.1 Standard Condition：
Temperature :0℃，Air Pressure: 101.325kPa
SCCM：Standard mL/min
SLM：Standard L/min
3.2.2Manufacture Environment：
Manufactured and calibrated in environment with temperature of 22±2℃,Purify and（30%～35%）RH.

Naming Rule

Output Calculation

Actual flow=full scale (sensor actual output voltage-zero output voltage) / (full scale output voltage-zero output voltage) For example: the sensor full scale is 2 SLM, the  sensor zero output voltage is 0.5V and full scale output voltage is 4.5V, and the actual output is 2.5V. Then the actual flow=2 SLM (2.5V – 0.5V)/(4.5V- 0.5V) = 0.75SLM

Cautions

6.1 The gas used must be purified to avoid dust, liquid and oil stain. If necessary, a filtering device can be installed in the gas circuit.
6.2 The medium used must be dry and clean non-corrosive gas.
6.3 The pressure of the medium used shall not exceed 1.2 times of the maximum working pressure of the product.
6.4 In order to ensure the measurement accuracy of the sensor, it is recommended to install a straight pipe section at least 5 times the nominal diameter at the inlet of the  sensor and at least 3 times the nominal diameter at the outlet.

Fault Diagnosis

7.1 Preliminary inspection
7.1.1 Check the opening of air source and inlet.
7.1.2 Ensure the correct connection of communication lines.
7.1.3 Check whether the medium pressure and ambient temperature meet the product technical indicators.
7.2 Fault Check

Maintenance
Output 10-12v without ventilation| Reverse terminal insertion| Check whether the terminal is inserted correctly
2| Without ventilation, the output deviation at zero point exceeds the maximum tolerance| Zero Point Drift| Zero Point Calibration/ Return for Maintenance

3

| No   signal    output during ventilation| Reversed air inlet installation| Replace the installation direction
---|---|---|---
Sensor damage| Return for maintenance
4| Flow out of tolerance during ventilation| Output Drift| Return for maintenance
Incorrect reference standard| Use mass flow method or higher accuracy flow meters for testing
