4. Regulation Use

Any use of the Electronic Mass Flow Meter, model: MAS, which exceeds the

manufacturer’s specifications, may invalidate its warranty. Therefore, any

resulting damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer. The user assumes

all risk for such usage.

5. Application

The KOBOLD Electronic Mass Flow Meter, model: MAS, makes very precise

measurements of the Mass Flow Rate of gases in different measuring ranges

from 0 - 10 Ncm³/min up to 0 - 500 NI/min nitrogen. The operation of the meter is

based on the calorimetric principle.

The measuring accuracy is ±1,5% of full scale including linearity over 15 to 25 °C

and 0.3 to 4 bar absolute. Its response time is 800 ms. The typical response time is

6 seconds to display 98% of the full scale value. This can be realised in between

25 to 100% of the full scale value.

Compared to most of the volume flow meters there is no temperature- or

pressure-correction necessary. This means that the MAS is ideally suited for

almost every gas flow application. Typical industrial applications are process

control, laboratory measuring tasks, OEM applications, gas indication panels,

leakage and filter monitoring.

6. Operating Principle

6.1 Measuring principle

The operation of the Mass Flow Meter, model: MAS, is based on the principle of

heat transport (first law of thermodynamic).

The medium flows through the bypass measuring system. Gas enters the MAS

flow body and divides into two flow paths. Part of the flow goes through the

laminar flow bypass the other part flows through the above located measuring

pipe.

Due to the differential pressure between P1 and P2 which is generated by the

laminar flow bypass element a part flow (m1) is separated from the main flow (m)

and guided through the sensor tube.

Two resistance temperature detectors (RTD elements) transferring a constant

amount of heat to the gas stream are mounted on the measuring tube. Under flow

conditions, the gas molecules absorb and transport the heat away from one to the

other coil. The resulting temperature difference is detected by the RTD-sensors

and evaluating by the measuring electronic into an output signal or a display

value. Since the heat is transported by gas molecules, the output signal is linear

proportional to the gas mass flow.

7. Mechanical Installation

In order to ensure a successful installation, inlet and outlet tubing or piping should

be in a clean state prior to plumbing your MAS to the system. MAS is applicable

to clean gas only because particles and other foreign matter may pollute the

sensor tube and laminar flow element and cause wrong measurement results. In

case of doubt, we recommend to use filters.

The following working pressures and/or medium temperatures may not be

exceeded:

•10 bar or 50 °C for devices with nylon casing (MAS-1xxx and MAS-2xxx)

•35 bar or 50 °C for devices with stainless steel casing

(MAS-3xxx and MAS-4xxx)

Be sure that the arrow on the side of the transducer points in the direction of flow.

With the nylon casing you must take care not to the turn the thread too far

(maximum 1.5 turns).

Attention! Over-tightening will crack the fittings and shift

calibration.

The preferred mounting position is horizontal. A vertical installation is possible,

but this must be considered during factory-calibration, since one has to count on

a zero-point movement depending on the operating pressure.

Swagelok and NPT screw connections must not be removed from the casing nor

should their position be altered since they form a unit with the laminar element

and could alter the calibration.

Swagelock-connections:

For the first installation of compression fittings, simply insert the tubing into the

fitting. Make sure that the tubing rests firmly on the shoulder of the fitting and that

the nut is hand-tight. Mark the nut at the six o’clock position. While holding the

fitting body steady with a back-up wrench, tighten the nut 11/4 turns. Watching the

mark on the nut, make one complete revolution and continue to the nine o’clock

position. After this, the fitting can be reconnected by tightening with a wrench. Do

not fail to use a back-up wrench or the inlet fitting may be damaged.

8. Electrical Connection

The standard MAS is provided with a 9-pin “D” sub type connector located on the

side of the MAS.

Attention! Ensure that the voltage of your installation corresponds

with the voltage of the measuring device.

Attention! A wrong terminal assignment may lead to a damage of the

electronic. If a power supply is connected, do not supply with any

additional voltage on the 9-pin-Sub-D-connector.

When the MAS is configured for a remote display, the display is supplied via the

9-pin “D” connector.

Attention! Please note that opening the device cancels the

guarantee. We therefore recommend that you let such work be done

by KOBOLD Messring GmbH.

*2Do not supply + DC power at the “D”

connector while using a power supply at

the DC power jack. Both supplies may be

damaged.

8.1 Power supply

If you use a KOBOLD MAS-5000 or MAS-5015 power pack, insert the jack plug in

the foreseen socket on the Mass Flow Meter MAS. Then simply connect the

power unit to the mains.

If not using a MAS-5000 or MAS-5015 power pack, supply the MAS via the 9-Pin

Sub-D-Connector with a voltage of 12-15 VDC. MAS Flow Meters require a single

+12 to +15 VDC power supply capable of providing a minimum current of 100

mA. The MAS can also be configured for +24 VDC power at 100 mA.

After the power has been switched on the output signal is initially maximum for a

short time (c. 10-20 seconds). It then returns to 0 Volt (or 4 mA, depending on the

model provided). Please note that the warming up period for the MAS should be

about 15 minutes.

After the warming up phase the MAS indicates the measured flow values on the

display.

8.2 Output signals

The output signal is obtained from the 9-pin “D” connector. A 0 to 5 VDC output

signal linearly proportional to gas mass flow rate is standard. A 4-20 mA current

loop signal is optionally available.

8.3 Display

KOBOLD Mass Flow Meters, model MAS, for gases are available with an

integrated digital display, a remote digital display and without a digital display.

The decimal point on the version with digital display is set at the factory. It is

always a 3 ½-digit display.

Attention! KOBOLD Messring accepts no liability for any damage,

claims or faults resulting from operation with oxygen. MAS devices

can be manufactured oil and grease free if desired.

9. Operation

Pressure- and temperature conditions

The gas flow rate output of your MAS always refers to “standard” conditions of 21 °C

(70 °F) and 760 mm of mercury (1 atmosphere), unless you have specified

otherwise. Make sure that your MAS is always calibrated on the operating

conditions.

Accuracy

The standard accuracy of the MAS is ±1.5% of full scale.

Overranging

If the flow rate exceeds the full scale range listed on your MAS’s front label, the

output signal and digital display (if available) will read a higher value.

Overrange conditions are indicated from the display and/or output by going to a

high level, above the full scale range. After the overrange condition has been

removed, it may take several seconds for the MAS to recover and resume normal

operation. This will not harm the instrument.

Zero and Span Adjustments

The zero and span potentiometers are accessed through marked ports on the

right side of your MAS. The analogue output is factory set and should only be

adjusted, when the zero point is drifting away more than 2% of the maximum

scale value and when you are absolutely sure that no gas is flowing.

Standard 0-5 VDC Output Signal

The standard 0-5 VDC output signal flows from Pin 3 (0-5 VDC Out) through the

load (1 K Ohm minimum) to Pin 7 (Power Common). The figure below is a typical

example of input power and output signal connections.
