ASF1400 Product Summary
The ASF1400 Mass Flow Meter enables extremely
accurate bidirectional measurement of gas flow over four
orders of magnitude. Its leading performance is based
on SENSIRION鈥檚 unsurpassed CMOSens鈩?sensor
technology. With CMOSens鈩? the on-chip sensor
element forms an integrated whole with the amplification
and A/D converter circuit. This results in superior
resolution, fast response time and large dynamic range
at lowest power consumption.
All measurement data is fully calibrated and temperature
compensated by means of an internal microcontroller.
Mounted in rugged, chemically inert PBT housing the
ASF1400 is suitable for a wide range of applications.
Such include mass flow metering for process control,
medical applications, heating ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) solutions, as well as gas flow
metrology.
The sensor housing provides two inlets for measuring
the gas flow and withstands overpressures of 2 bar (29
psi).
The ASF1400 requires a supply voltage of 7鈥?8Vdc
and provides an RS-232 and SPI compliant electrical
interface.
