The Series 641RM Air Velocity Transmitter uses a heated
mass flow sensor technology. It has 8 user selectable
ranges from 250 FPM to 15000 FPM with corresponding
metric ranges of 1.25 MPS to 75 MPS. The Series 641RM
Air Velocity Transmitter provides an isolated 4-20 mA out-
put proportional to the velocity. With the optional 1/2˝ 4-1/2
digit LED display, the Series 641RM Air Velocity Transmitter
will provide a highly visible local readout of the velocity.
INSTALLATION
Location: Select a location where the temperature will be
within 32 to 140°F (0 to 60°C) to mount the enclosure. The
transmitter may be located any distance from the receiver
provided that the total loop resistance does not exceed 600
ohms. The probe should be located where conditions are
representative of the overall environment being monitored.
Avoid locations where turbulence, stagnation, or rapidly
fluctuating velocities or temperatures are present as these
conditions may affect the readings. The filter setting may be
used to average velocity readings in turbulent conditions.
Position: The transmitter is not position sensitive and may
be mounted in any orientation.
Probe Orientation: Dots on the probe indicate the direc-
tion of the calibrated airflow. Align these dots toward the
source of the process air.
Airflow: The Series 641RM Air Velocity Transmitter is
intended for use with clean dry air. Particulates in the air
may cause sensor damage. Dust accumulation may impair
the velocity measurement and will require probe cleaning.
