Mass Flow Rate: The mass fl ow rate is the volumetric fl ow rate corrected to a

standard temperature and pressure (typically 14.696 psia and 25 °C).
This parameter is located in the lower middle of the display. It can be moved to

the primary display by pushing the butt on below SCCM in this example. Your

display may show a diff erent unit of measure preceded by the lett er S.

To get an accurate volumetric or mass fl ow rate, the gas being measured

must be selected. See Gas Select, page 21.

MENU: Pressing MENU switches the screen to the Select Menu display.

Flashing Error Message: An error message (MOV = mass overrange, VOV

= volumetric overrange, POV = pressure overrange, TOV = temperature

overrange) fl ashes when a measured parameter exceeds the range of the

sensor. When any item fl ashes, neither the fl ashing parameter nor the

mass fl ow measurement is accurate. Reducing the value of the fl ashing parameter

to within specifi ed limits will return the unit to normal operati on and accuracy.

If the unit does not return to normal operati on contact Alicat.
