EN1Z-1076GE51 R0722
When twin tubing is used from the pickup, split the pickup
tubing a short length to accommodate the connections.

Differential Pressure Installation
NOTE: The controller must be powered up for a minimum
of 1 hour before performing the zero calibration for
the air flow sensor.
If controllers are mounted in unusually dusty or
dirty environments, an in-line, 5-micron disposable
air filter (use 5-micron filters compatible with pneu
-
matic controls) is recommended for the high-pres
-
sure line connected to the air flow pickup.
The tubing from the air flow pickup to the controller
should not exceed three feet (1 m). Any length
greater than this will degrade the flow sensing
accuracy.
Use caution when removing tubing from a connec
-
tor. Always pull straight away from the connector or
use diagonal cutters to cut the edge of the tubing
attached to the connector. Never remove by pulling
at an angle.
NOTICE
Dust particle contamination may be present in some
applications. Ensure appropriate measures are taken to
minimize the effect of particulate contamination.
The sense element is in parallel to the air stream and tends
to direct the dust particles in the airflow stream past the
sense element away from the sense bridge. The sense
element is a micro-structure-based device and the bridge
portion of the sense element structure is made up of two
platinum sense elements and a heater. The heater tends to
repel dust particles via a thermophoretic effect past the
heater and tends to keep most dust off the bridge structure.
The heat affect, along with a simple filter, can help to keep
the dust from causing output shifts in the output of the
device. Although the sensor naturally repels dust, some
dust and contamination can still collect on the micro-
structure. Dust adherence to chip edges and channel
surfaces can be prevented by using a simple filter. A
disposable five micron filter used in series on the upstream
side of the airflow divide will provide adequate filtering in
below for recommended filter
suppliers.
