November, 2008
• Soft Start
Enabled by moving a jumper on the PC board. Provides a slow injection of
gas as a protection to the process, particularly those using a volatile or
reactive gas. Full gas flow is achieved in approximately 15 seconds. Refer
to Section 2-6.
• Precision 5 Volt Reference
Allows the direct connection of a command potentiometer to a 0-5 Volt
command signal to the controller. A precision 10-turn 2 k ohm
potentiometer with an integral turns counter is recommended, this will
permit repeatable adjustments of command to 1 part in 1000. Refer to
Section 2-12 for activation.
• Valve Override
Allows full opening and closing of the control valve independent of the
command setting. Refer to Section 2-8.
• Valve Off
Accessed via Terminal J on the Card Edge or Pin 4 on the
D-Connector version. This feature allows the user to close the control
valve independently of the command signal by supplying a TTL Level low
signal to the proper terminal. This function is useful when performing
repetitive flow operations or as a safety shutdown. Refer to Section 2-11.
• Valve Test Point
Accessed via Terminal D on the Card Edge or Pin 7 on the D-Connector
version of the Model 5850E only. This feature allows the user to monitor
the control valve voltage during operation. Refer to Section 2-10.
