Series 780S Instruction Manual Chapter 1 Introduction The Series 780S Flow Sensing Principle ™ Sierra’s unique Steel-Trak sensor probe is responsible for the un- surpassed accuracy, ruggedness and reliability of Sierra industrial flow meters. The immersible Steel-Trak sensor consists of two sensing elements–a velocity sensor and a temperature sensor that automatically corrects for changes in gas temperature. When power is applied to the flow meter, the transducer electronics heats the velocity s

Chapter 1 Introduction Series 780S Instruction Manual Smart Electronics Features Instrument Validation Two simple tests offer full “field-validation” of your Smart mass flow meter. The first test checks the system electronics, linearization and microprocessor functionality and is performed by injecting a known input value and confirming that the flow meter outputs the expected value. The second test verifies that the instrument’s pri- mary sensing elements have not drifted or shifted from their

Series 780S Instruction Manual Chapter 2 Installation Output Signal Wiring Output signal cable should be completely screened with a 100% shield. You must use metal cable glands that provide cable screen clamping. The cable screen should be connected to the gland and shielded at both ends over 360 degrees. The shield should be ter- minated to an earth ground. Flow meters are equipped with either a calibrated 0-5 VDC (0-10 VDC optional) or a calibrated 4-20 mA output signal. This linear output sig

To use the 4-20 mA isolated output, an external 12 to 36 VDC power supply is required. The maximum loop resistance (load) for both types of current loop outputs are de- pendent upon the supply voltage and are given in Figure 2-10. R is the total resistance in the loop, including the wiring resis- load tance. To calculate
