3. 2 Precaution in transportation
This product is a precision device. Pay attention when handling it in transportation, etc. In order to
prevent the detector from damages or contamination due to an accident which may happen during
transportation, it shall be transported to the installing site in the same packing conditions as it is
originally shipped from our factory.

3. 3 Precaution in storage
If a precision device like this product is not installed for a long time after it has been delivered to
you, it may have troubles such as corrosion, deteriorated insulation of the electrical system. If
long-term storage is expected, observe the following points.

① Store the flowmeter and the accessory cables in the same package as delivered originally from
factory.

② Choose a proper storage site which meets the following conditions.

• Place free from the rain and water

-4-
 • Place free from vibrations and shocks

• Ambient temperature of 0 to 60℃ (Place where there is no sudden change in temperature.)

• Humidity of 80 % RH or less

Store the product at a normal temperature and humidity (approx. 25 ℃ and 65 % RH).

③ When storing the flowmeter which has been used once, observe the following points:

• Clean it if the converter is stained.

• In order to prevent damages on the converter, protect it with a packing material such as an
air cap.
(In order to prevent deterioration of the electronic parts, put a dehumidifying agent, etc. in a
package for storage.)

• Since the converter and detector correspond to each other at 1:1, pack and store the
converter per our MFG. NO., including their accessories.

3. 4 Installing site
The TRX series thermal flowmeter converter has been designed to properly run under the severe
environmental condition, but it is recommended to install the converter at a place easily accessible
for maintenance/inspection. Determine an installation site, considering the following points, so that
you can use the flowmeter stably for a long time at high accuracy.

① Ambient temperature (Ambient temperature range: -10 to 60℃)

・ Avoid installing at a place where the temperature gradient or change is great. If it is exposed
to the radiant heat from the plant, provide heat insulation, or choose a well-ventilated area for
installation.

② Atmospheric condition

・ Avoid installing it in the corrosive atmosphere. When using in the corrosive atmosphere,
choose a well-ventilated place or purging environment. Do not use for a long time in a place
where a corrosive gas stagnates. After measurement is completed in such an environment,
move the converter immediately out of the corrosive atmosphere.

・ Avoid installing in the dusty atmosphere.

③ Shocks and vibrations

・ The converter has been designed resistant to shocks and vibrations. However, install it in a
place free from them as much as possible.

④ Noise

・ Avoid installing this device close to a noise supply such as a compressor, high-voltage line
inverter. A detector-converter cable exclusively designed for the thermal flowmeter is doubly
shielded to fully cope with noise. If the cable is long, however, noise may enter.

Others

･ Do not put a heavy substance on this device because it may lead to a breakage, nor install it
in an unstable place as it is heavy.

-5-
3. 5 Safety precaution
① If the thermal flowmeter shows any abnormality such as smoking or emitting a foul odor or
strange sound, turn off the AC power immediately and contact our nearest office. If it is used in
an abnormal condition, it could cause a fire or electric shock. The customer should never repair
it on his own. It is dangerous.

② Never disassemble or remodel the converter. A trouble could be caused.

③ This converter is designed water-proof, but be sure to apply a water-proof treatment such as
water-proof cable gland to a cable insertion port to prevent an entry of the rain. Otherwise, the
rain could enter inside the converter, resulting in an electric shock or trouble.

④ Do not disconnect a connection cable while using the thermal flowmeter(power on). It could
cause an electric shock or trouble. Be sure to turn off the power prior to disconnecting the cable.

⑤ The converter is heavy. Be careful when installing it onto the wall, 2B pipe, etc.
When it is install at a place which is influenced by vibration etc., the fixed part of converter is to
be reinforced.

⑥ This converter is designed to be water-proof. However, it is recommended to install it at a place

free from the rain as much as possible. If the rain enters inside the converter in adjusting or
checking it, it could cause an electric shock or trouble.

4. General description

4. 1 Outline
TRX-5000 series is a converter designed for a water-proof construction thermal flowmeter of field
installing type. With the microcomputer-mounting signal processing circuit,
high-precision/high-performance capacities have been achieved and functions necessary for
process monitoring and controlling such as indication of flow rate/totalization, analog output, pulse
output and serial output (RS232C) can be mounted.

By mounting temperature correction function of option specification and inputting temperature

signal from temperature sensor of external installation, it is also possible to measure mass flow rate
at a higher degree of accuracy even for the line of which process temperature widely changes. In
addition, data setting on maximum 16 ranges or up to 16 types of gas is available in advance.
This, together with mounting of the simplified self-diagnosis function, enables to quickly cope with
the situation when an unexpected trouble takes place. Additional functions such as sample hold
function to correspond to purge type thermal flowmeter detector, solenoid valve control output and
contact output are made available by mounting an option circuit board.

4. 2 Features
① High precision

The flow rate of various types of gas can be measured with a high accuracy within ±2.0 % full
scale by the measurement principle of our originality.

② Wide range ability

The measurement accuracy is sufficiently maintained for practical purpose even in a flow rate
range as low as 0.5m/s. The drawback of traditional orifice type and vortex type gas flowmeters
has thus been broken through.

③ High durability

Long life ensured by using high-reliability electronic parts.

④ Mass flow rate measurement

・ Thermal mass flowmeter for gases based on TOKYO KEISO's original heat transfer theory.
Capable of measuring almost all general gases because of the measurement theory by which
theoretical analysis was established.

・ If a gas temperature changes a little, an output change with respect to a gas temperature
change will be as little as 0.1 % full scale/ ℃(maximum), thus allowing measurement of a
mass flow rate without correcting the temperature. If the gas temperature changes greatly or
high flow rate accuracy is required, a temperature correcting circuit can be optionally added
inside the TRX-5000 converter and mass flow rate measurement can be made at high
accuracy by inputting a temperature signal(resistance temp. sensor: Pt100Ω, voltage signal,
etc.) from the outside.
2
・ An effect of pressure is as little as 0.1 % full scale/ kg/cm (maximum) owing to the
measurement principle based on the heat transfer phenomenon, and the high accuracy mass
flow rate measurement can be made without correcting the pressure.

5. Installation

* Regarding installation of converter

• When installing a converter, pay attention to the following items. For the installing site, refer
to “3. 4 Installing site”.

• There are 2 different methods of installing the converter. One is mounting on a wall and the
other is mounting on 2B pipe. For the latter mounting method, pipe mounting brackets
(option) are necessary. As bolts for wall mounting (M8 x 3) are not included in accessory
supplies, customers are requested to prepare the bolts, selecting bolts length to suit the
fitting part panel thickness.

• For the outside dimension and rough construction of the converter, refer to “4. 7 Outside
dimension” and to “Fig. 3. 1/3. 2 Converter installing drawing”.

• When installing the converter, make sure that the wiring joints become downward.

Note) Pay attention when installing the converter as it weighs about 4.5kg ~ 6.5kg.

• For wiring of the converter, refer to “6. Wiring”. The converter is of water-proof construction,
however, it is necessary to provide water-proof cable gland to prevent rain water from
penetrating from the wiring joint.

* Converter installing method.

1) Wall mounting type

• Refer to Fig. 3. 1 “Converter installing drawing” and drill 3 holes on the wall or panel and fix
the converter with screws.

① Drill 3 bolt holes on the wall or panel for fixing the converter.

② Temporarily set 2 M8 bolts for fixing the bottom part of the converter on the wall or
panel, leaving proper clearances in which the recess parts at the bottom of the
converter can be inserted. Fit in the bottom part of the converter to the bolt
clearances.

③ While adjusting the posture of the converter, fix the upper part of the converter with a
M8 bolt.

④ Tighten firm 2 fixing bolts at the bottom of the converter that were temporarily set.

Note) When mounting the converter directly on a concrete wall, fix the converter with the bolts
after driving in anchors into the wall.

- 13 -
 2) 2B pipe mounting type

• As illustrated in Fig. 3. 2 “Converter installing drawing”, sandwich the 2B pipe (50A

stanchion) between the fitting metal and the bracket, and then tighten it with the accessory
bolt. The 2B pipe mounting type converter can be used as the wall mounting type by
removing the fitting metal on the rear side of the converter.

6. Wiring

6. 1 Standard accessory cable

An exclusive special cable with end treatment for connecting the converter and the detector
is included in accessory supplies of the thermal flowmeter. (Pin crimped type terminals are
connected on the converter side. Depending on the type of the detector, a water-proof type
connector or round crimped type terminals are connected on the detector side.)

Note) The power cable and signal cables (other than the exclusive cable) are not included in the
accessory supplies. Customers are requested to prepare these cables themselves. For the
length of the exclusive cable, refer to the approval drawing. The maximum length of
exclusive cable available for TRX-5000 converter is 50m.

Note) Use the exclusive cable in length as originally delivered without cutting it as much as
possible, since the cut end of the cable not properly treated may give cause to noise
generation and resultant trouble in operation. When it is inevitable to cut the cable to a
shorter length, treat the cable end by referring to item b) “Cable end treating method” on
the next page.

b) Cable end treating method

Use the accessory exclusive cable in length as originally delivered without cutting it as much
as possible. When it has inevitably to be cut shorter for using convenience, treat the cable
end by referring to the following procedures. Do not cut the cable to a length shorter than 4m,
since it is necessary to change (or readjust) the power supply voltage of the heating current
according to the length of the cable.

6. 3 Wiring
① Remove the lid of the terminal box at the bottom of the converter with a (–) screwdriver
and connect the signal and power supply cable to the terminal board. For details of signal
cable connecting method, refer to “6. 1 Standard accessory cable” and “6. 2 Schematic of
wire connection”.

② Connect the exclusive cable (to link detector and converter) to the connector.

* Precautions for wiring

① When wiring, the minimum bending radius of cables should be 15cm or larger.

② Do not cut the detector ~ converter exclusive cable to a shorter length or do not use
general-purpose cable sold on the market, as it may cause noise troubles and flow rate
measurement errors.

* Exclusive cable between Detector ~ Converter

The cable used for linking the converter and the detector is our original cable of special
type. For the ordered cable length, see the approval drawing. As for the cable structure,
refer to “6. 1 Standard accessory cable”.

③ For anti-noise measures and cable protection, install the cable in a wire conduit or cable
duct. When installing the cable in a wire conduit, select the conduit size by giving
considerations to the dimension of the connector (Max. outside diameter of connector x
length: φ26 x 62mm, Cable thickness: About 11mm) that connects the exclusive cable of
connector type specification.

- 19 -
 ④ The connector of the connector specification detector is of water-proof construction with
male/female coupling structure. When the detector is installed outdoors, do not leave the
detector without connecting the exclusive cable. Should rain water penetrate into the
connector, it would give a cause to corrosion of cable or connector pin. After installation of
the detector, if certain length of time is expected to complete wiring arrangement, protect
the detector from rain water by the accessory blind cap or by a plastic bag.

⑤ In case of temperature correction input specification, input the signal that meets the input
signal specification of the converter [Resistance temp. sensor (Pt100Ω) or analog
temperature input signal (4~20mADC/1~5VDC)].

6. 4 Temperature input
When using the resistance temp. sensor for this flowmeter temperature correction input,
select the resistance temp. sensor that conforms to JIS C 1604 (3-wire type Pt100Ω, A class).
As for the sheath, select one that has good response properly as long as there is no
handling problem (strength, corrosiveness, etc.).

Note) Note that, in case of the converter with temperature correction function, if temperature
signal is not inputted, the indication of the flow rate and the analog output will take the
HOLD status.

- 20 -
7. Operation
* The thermal flowmeter has been fully adjusted and set upon shipment from the factory. Once the
wiring between the detector and converter is completed, it will be immediately ready to measure a
flow rate. For the detailed specifications, see the approval drawing.

1) Setting up the thermal flowmeter

① Confirm that the detector is correctly installed on the piping line.

② Confirm that wiring of the converter ~ detector cable, external output signal cable and the
power supply cable is correctly arranged.

③ Turn ON power supply and confirm that the green LED at the lower right of the converter
front panel is lit up. (Refer to “4. 8 Detailed drawing of front panel”.) When this green
LED does not come ON, perform “Power-ON-Reset” (once turn OFF power supply, and
then turn it ON again) and see if this has effected the green LED to light up. When the
green LED is still OFF, refer to “8. Maintenance” and thoroughly check the converter and
the detector.

④ With the above, the setting-up procedures has been completed.

2) Resetting totalization indication

• The totalization on the indicator can be reset by pressing the reset switch located on the
right of the indicator. (For the location of the reset switch, refer to “4. 8 Detailed drawing
of front panel”.)

3）Temperature correction function

• Temperature correction can automatically be executed by selecting the temperature
correction function and inputting temperature signal (selecting one out of resistance temp.
sensor Pt100Ω, 4~20mADC and 1~5VDC).

When the temperature correction function is not selected, the output error of the thermal
flowmeter due to temperature change is about ±0.1% F.S./ºC (max.), although is
somewhat different depending on the gas composition.

• Calibration of a thermal flowmeter is generally performed using in-company calibration

facilities (applying comparison method by wet process or dry process gas meter) by
measuring the flow rate characteristics inherent to the sensor (relationship between
heating current “ I ” and flow rate “Q”) against the calibration gas (generally using air) at
the fluid temperature and pressure of the calibration time and converting it to the flow rate
characteristics of the specification gas using the gas substance value of the specification
gas at that temperature and pressure. Accordingly, at temperature other than
specification temperature, errors in flow rate measurement take place due to the
difference between the substance value used for the above conversion and the gas
characteristics of the actually measuring fluid (in case where specification gas
temperature and the fluid temperature of actual measurement widely differ). When
temperature correction function is selected, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned
substance value error, the specification temperature range is divided into 7 sections and
the flow rate characteristics of the specification gas at each section of the temperature
range are stored in ROM memory. Then, external temperature signal is read in through
the A/D converter, based on which the temperature correction of flow rate is made by
interpolating the flow rate characteristic data stored in the ROM.

- 21 -
* According to the measuring principle based on the heat conduction phenomena (The
substance value concerning heat conduction makes little or no change with the
pressure changes.), the pressure error is as small as within about ±1.0% F.S./MPa
(max.), although it somewhat varies depending on the gas composition. This range
of an error is considered almost ignorable in general operating conditions.

* For output error by temperature/pressure changes, refer to the item “Regarding

accuracy of flow speed and flow rate” in the instruction manual of the detector to be
combined.

- 22 -
8. Maintenance
A simple method of checking the condition of the thermal flowmeter before starting initial operation
and re-starting operation is described in the following. For wire connecting method of the thermal
flowmeter, refer to “6. Wiring” in this instruction manual and the wiring diagram in the approval
drawing. When an abnormality is found in the following checks, contact our business office or our
nearest sales agent.

8. 1 Instrument used for maintenance

For maintenance of the converter, a digital multimeter for measuring resistance of the
detector and other measuring instruments are necessary. Measuring instrument used for
maintenance work should be limited to the instrument whose performance is well maintained
and controlled.

8. 2 Checking converter
* As for the purge operation (option), refer to item 3) “Regarding option operation (Purge
control mode)” .

1) Checking converter
① Check of operation status by LED ON/OFF position
The following converter operation status can be checked by the LED 1~4 located at the lower

enters into the calibration mode. Normally, do not use this way of operation. In case
of multi-range specification, re-loading of ROM range data is performed.

(After changing ROM range selection SW, change of the range is executed by operating
DIPSW1 in way of OFF => ON => OFF.)

* Re-loading of ROM range data is executed also by Power-ON-Reset operation.

Note 2) The operation can be selected in case of temperature correction specification only. In
other specification, the operation is fixed to “Without temperature correction”.

Note 3) The operation can be selected in case of temperature correction specification only. In
other specification, the operation is fixed to “Flow rate indication”.

Also in case of setting DIPSW2 in ON position (Without temperature correction, the

operation is fixed to “Flow rate indication”.

Note 4) The operation can be selected in case of “With purge control mode (option)” only. In
other specification, the operation is fixed to the regular mode.

For the purge control mode (option), refer to “8. 2, 4) regarding option operation (Purge

8. 3 Detector resistance check
Connection of detector is made in 2 different ways: one is with a connector and the other is
on the terminal board. For detail, refer to descriptions concerning detector resistance check
in the instruction manual of each detector.
Note) When a trouble occurs during operation using detector in combination with converter,
check the detector resistance as above, together with checking according to “8. 4
Temperature sensor (Resistance temp. sensor) resistance check” and “8. 2 Checking
converter”.

8. 4 Temperature sensor (Resistance temp. sensor) resistance check

① When the thermal flowmeter is already in use, turn power supply OFF.

* Make sure to turn OFF the power before removing wire connections, since
disconnecting wiring without cutting off power supply could cause to a trouble with
the system. The lamp and error code also light up sometimes, even though there is
nothing wrong with the converter.

② Remove the cable for resistance temp. sensor from the connector terminal.

③ Measure, by a digital multimeter or a tester, the resistance between the cables (A, B1,
B2) for the resistance temp. sensor.

* When checking the thermometer resistance, the resistance of the cable is added on.
Depending on the cable length, the resistance value may somewhat differ from those
in the following table.

④ After checking, connect the connector and turn ON the power. (Check has been
completed.)

• Approximate resistance value of resistance temp. sensor

Resistance temp.

Between A – B1 About 110Ω * In case of normal sensor temperature
Between A – B2 About 110Ω * In case of normal sensor temperature
Between B1 – B2 － To be conductive (by connecting cable)
* The above resistance value of the thermometer bulb changes as temperature Pt100Ω
changes. For detail, refer to JIS C 1604 reference material.

• Reference (JIS C 1604 Resistance temp. sensor: Pt100Ω Reference resistance value)

9. Troubleshooting
When the converter fails to work properly, search the cause of the trouble along the following items.

(1) Check the converter LED according to Item 8. 2, 1) “① Check of operation status by LED
ON/OFF position” and confirm the current status of the operation in respect of indication,
4~20mA DC output and totalization pulse output.

① Heating current value abnormal

Wire breakage of temperature difference input, wire breakage of heating current line,
erroneous wiring, incomplete contact and abnormality of heating current lower limit due to
different specification gas are considered as possible causes of the trouble. (In case of H2
and He specification, when other gas (Ar in particular) is filled, heating current lower limit
abnormality sometimes occurs.)

Countermeasures: Confirmation of specification gas component and actual gas component

(Ref. Approval drawing), Confirmation of wire connection (Ref. 6. 2 Schematic of wire
connection), Confirmation of detector resistance value (Ref. 8. 2 Detector resistance check)

② Abnormality of temperature input for temperature correction

Wire breakage of temperature sensor input, erroneous wiring, incomplete contact and range
over of specification temperature correction are considered as possible cause of the trouble.

Countermeasures: Confirmation of specification temperature correction range and actual

temperature (Ref. Approval drawing), Confirmation of wire connection (Ref. 6. 2 Schematic
of wire connection), Confirmation of temperature sensor (Ref. 8. 4 Temperature sensor
(resistance temp. sensor) resistance check)

③ Flow rate range over (Exceeding 120%)

The temperature difference input wiring connection may be in reverse polarity or gas flows at
a rate over 120% of the specification flow rate. The indication gives a larger value because
of the difference of component between the specification gas and the actual gas. The flow
velocity is increased and indication gives larger value because the pipe gauge of the actual
piping is different from the specification inside diameter.

Countermeasures: Confirmation of the specification flow rate, gas component, inside

diameter of piping and actual conditions. (Ref. Approval drawing), Confirmation of wire
connection (Ref. 6. 2 Schematic of wire connection)

④ Abnormality of heating current value and temperature input

Abnormality of heating current value, temperature input for temperature correction or a
compound abnormality of these items is considered.

Countermeasures: Take measures according to the contents of troubleshooting concerning

heating current value abnormality and temperature input for temperature correction
abnormality.

⑤ Temperature input abnormality and flow rate range over

A compound abnormality of temperature input for temperature correction and flow rate range
over (120% above) is considered.

- 29 -
 Countermeasures: Take measures according to the contents of troubleshooting concerning
temperature input for temperature correction abnormality and flow rate range over (120%
above).

⑥ External ROM error

External ROM is designated (SW–5: ON) without mounting external ROM, ROM range
without data input is selected, or data cannot be read due to damage of external ROM is
considered as possible cause of the trouble.

Countermeasures: Confirmation of flow rate range (Ref. Approval drawing and “11. Flow rate
range changing function”), Confirmation of external ROM mounted or not mounted (Ref. 4. 8
* Detailed drawing of converter interior)

⑦ Others and compound abnormality

Of other abnormalities, there are internal calculation overflow, data range over and pulse Co
over. As compound errors, all combinations of (1) ~ (6) above are considered.

Countermeasures: Confirm the status of indication, 4~20mADC output and totalization pulse
output and then confirm the countermeasures against above (1) ~ (6) in order.

(2) Regarding abnormality that neither LED nor indication is not lit.
① Neither LED nor indication is lit even when power is supplied.
The specification power supply voltage and the actual power supply voltage are different, or
blown-up of power supply fuse is considered as possible cause of the trouble.

Countermeasures: Confirmation of specification power supply voltage and actual power

supply voltage (Ref. Approval drawing), Confirmation of power supply fuse (Ref. 4. 8 *
Detailed drawing of converter interior)

② Flow rate measurement error is large.

Measurement errors due to specification differences of gas component, temperature,
pressure, pipe inside diameter; measurement errors due to wrong direction in detector
mounting, dust and mist contamination on detector sensor part; influence of flow velocity
distribution due to insufficient pipe length of straight portion; measurement error due to
installation condition where pulsation is generated; or erroneous connection of detection
items and converter items when multiple sets of flowmeter are delivered: These are
considered as possible causes of the trouble.

Countermeasures: To confirm contents of each cause of trouble listed above one by one (Ref.
Approval drawing)

③ Indications fluctuate widely.

Dust and mist contamination on the detector sensor part, influence by disturbance of flow
speed distribution due to insufficient pipe length of straight portion; influence of pulsation in
flow; incomplete contact of temperature difference wire line and heating current wire line;
poor insulation of the detector; incomplete contact of temperature sensor: These are
considered as possible causes of the trouble.

Countermeasures: Confirmation of pipe installation, terminal connection, cables, detector

resistance value (Ref. 8. 3 Detector resistance check), Confirmation of temperature sensor
(Ref. Temperature sensor (resistance temp. sensor) resistance check)

- 30 -

11. Function to change flow rate range
When specifications such as the flow rate range and gas component are to be changed, ordinary
type thermal flowmeter has to be sent back to the factory for re-adjustment (re-calibration). In
order to dispense with such an inconvenience, this converter has special optional functions to
change the flow rate range (and gas component). This function enables to have maximum 16
different specifications of flow rate characteristic data written into a built-in ROM for calibration data
writing. The flow rate range can be changed by inserting a short-circuit socket in selected
combination of pin switch (ROM data address switching pin-switch: See illustration below.) for ROM
range selection located at the lower-left part of the front panel.

Re-loading of ROM range is, however, necessary by OFF/ON/OFF operation of DIPSW1, since it is
not possible to change the flow rate range by selective insertion of short-circuit socket only.
(Power-ON-Reset will do for re-loading.)

* This function is made use of when a change of the flow rate is previously scheduled or the actual
gas amount used is not yet determined at the time of introducing a flowmeter.

* There are certain limitations on the flow rate range (gas component) to be incorporated in a single
converter. When you utilize this function, please inquire us for details.

* It is possible to change the range by inserting or drawing

out a short-circuit socket at the short-circuit pin switch
