GENERAL
• Function: Microprocessor-based Insertion or In-Line Mass Flow Meters for gases
• Flow Element: Constant Temperature Thermal Mass Flow Element consists of two 316 SS clad platinum-wound RTDs
• Flow Rate Output Signal^7: 4-20mA isolated linear flow signal on all products. Pulsed outputs optional⁸
• Temperature Output Signal⁷: 4-20mA isolated linear temperature signal from 40°F to 200°F (-40°F to 750°F optional) is second output on SIG & SRG Series;menu selectable in lieu of flow outputs on SIE & SRE Series.A second temperature output is also available on the SIL and SRL Series, but it is 0–5VDC linear instead of 4–20mA.
• Communication: RS232. (Ethernet pending)
• Sensor Drive Circuit: Proprietary Sensor Drive Circuit provides
enhanced flow signal stability and insensitivity to process temperature
changes
• Display: 2-line LCD back-lit Flow Rate (top line),Total and Temperature (bottom line) is standard on all Mass Flow Meters
(except for SIL and SRL Series which have no displays).
• Menu Navigation: 4-Button Touch Display Screen⁹ Keypad (except SIL & SRL) and RS232 with navigational software (Sage VIP) standard (software optional on SIL & SRL).With Touch
Display Screen technology, the cover does not need to be opened to access Menuing System.
• Multiple Channel Capability: Up to four totally independent calibrations available on all products except SIL & SRL. Calibrate for four different gases, different sensitivities, and/or different configurations (Channels A–D). Channels can be keypad, laptop or externally selectable (via contact closures).
• Power: 24VDC (250 ma with back light off, 350mA max with
back light on), 115VAC or 230VAC (Switchable) on SIG & SRG Series.
250mA max on SIE, SRE, SIL or SRL Series

• Response Time: 1 second (each time constant) for flow change
• Subsystem Interface: Full duplex digital using SLIP protocol

ENCLOSURES
Integral General Purpose, Integral Explosion Proof, Remote General Purpose, and Remote Explosion Proof. Remote styles do not require electronics at sensor Junction Box. (See dimensional drawings on page 5 for classifications.)

DISPLAY / KEYPAD
General Purpose SIG & SRG Transmitter have large format 2 x 16 LCD back-lit display with large format 4-Button Keypad. Explosion Proof SIE & SRE Transmitter has 2 x 16 small format back-lit display with standard 4-Button Keypad. (SIL & SRL transmitter are blind.) Keypad uses Touch Display Screen Technology on General Purpose Meters (SIG & SRG) and can be activated without removing cover.

WETTED PARTS
316L Stainless Steel for Flow Bodies, Sensor Flow Elements and Flow Conditioners. Hastelloy (recommended for Chlorine Gas) and other materials optional.

FLOW CONDITIONING
All In-Line Flow Meters 3/4 inch and above include built-in flow conditioning

RELAYS
Two 1-amp relay channels (each SPDT) optionally available on SIG & SRG Series.One 1-amp relay is standard on SIE & SRE Series.Menu configurable (see description under Sage Thermal Mass Flow Meters on page 3)

1 - Flow Conditioning Built in to Flow Meter Pipe Sizes 3/4" and up. Contact Sage for optional 1/4" tube flow body
2 - (_ _) determined by type of style and enclosure (i.e., SRG: Remote Style, General Purpose Enclosure)
3 - Full Scale (FS) can be specified as low as 1/10 of typical full scale to retain 100:1 turn down. For example, a 3/4" Meter can be specified as high as 0-140 SCFM, or as low as 0-6 SCFM, or anything in between (i.e., 0-40 SCFM)
4 - Max Full Scale available for many gases, such as pressurized Air or Nitrogen. Some gases such as Hydrogen may be limited to the Typical FS value. Calibrations above 500 SCFM may be extrapolated.
5 - 1 SCFM=1.7 NCMH. Sage standard conditions for calibration are 70°F and 29.92" Hg.
6 - At zero or low flow, meter(s) may experience a slight pressure sensitivity
7 - The SIL & SRL Series has two outputs, a 4-20mA and a 0-5VDC signal. They each can be configured for either flow or temperature.
8 - Pulsed outputs of Totalized Flow are configurable when relay(s) are present.Two relays are optional on SIG & SRG, one relay is standard on SIE & SRE, but none are available on SIL & SRL.
9 - Touch Display Screen not available on SIE or SRE Series
