When using the unamplified devices

board the sensor and must be supplied in
the application. The differential amplifier
circuitry in Figure 3 may be useful in pro-

The amplified devices (AWM43300V and

 Airflow Sensors AWM5000 Series
High Flow Mass Airflow/Amplified

FEATURES
1 Linear voltage output
1 Venturi design
1 Remote mounting capability
1 Active laser trimming improves inter-
change ability
1 Separate gas calibration types:
– Ar (argon)
– N2 (nitrogen) or
– CO2 (carbon dioxide)
In-Line Flow Measurement
AWM5000 Series Microbridge Mass Air-
flow Sensors feature a venturi type flow
housing. They measure flow as high as 20 Figure 1
standard liters per minute (SLPM) while
inducing a maximum pressure drop of
2.25N H2O. The microbridge chip is in di-
rect contact with the flow stream, greatly
reducing error possibilities due to orifice
or bypass channel clogging.

Rugged, Versatile Package

The rugged plastic package has been
designed to withstand common mode
pressures up to 50 psi, and the small
sensing element allows 100 gs of shock
without compromising performance. The
included ‘‘AMP’’ compatible connector
provides reliable connection in demand-
ing applications.

On-board Signal Conditioning

Each AWM5000 sensor contains circuitry Figure 2
which performs amplification, lineariza-
tion, temperature compensation, and gas

Airflow
calibration. Figure 1 (Heater Control Cir-
cuit) and Figure 2 (Sensor Bridge Circuit
and Amplification Linearization Circuit) il-
lustrate the on-board electrical circuitry
for the AWM5000 Series. A 1 to 5 VDC
linear output is possible for all listings
regardless of flow range (5, 10, 15, or 20
SLPM) or calibration gas (nitrogen, car-
bon dioxide, nitrous oxide, or argon). All
calibration is performed by active laser
trimming.

Notes:
1. Linearity specification applies from 2 to 100% full scale of gas flow range, and does not apply to null output at 0 SLPM.
2. The AWM5000 series product has a leakage spec of less than 0.1 psi per minute at 50 psi common mode pressure. If during installation, the
end adapters are twisted with respect to the flowtube, this may compromise the seal between the o-ring and the flowtube and may cause a
temporary leak. This leak might be as high as 1 psi or might remain in specification. It will self-reseal as the o-ring takes a new set.
Approximately 85% of the leakage will dissipate in 24 hours. Within 48 hours, complete recovery will take place.
3. SLPM denotes standard liters per minute, which is a flow measurement referenced to standard conditions of 0°C/1 bar (sea level), 50% RH.

NOTICE
AWM5000— Chimney Effect
AWM microbridge mass airflow sensors detect mass airflow caused by heat transfer. The thermally isolated
microbridge structure consists of a heater resistor positioned between two temperature sensing resistors.
The heater resistor maintains a constant temperature, 160°C above ambient, during sensor operation. Airflow
moving past the chip transfers heat from the heater resistor. This airflow warms the downstream resistor and
cools the upstream resistor. The temperature change and the resulting change in resistance of the
temperature resistors is proportional to the mass airflow across the sensing element.
When the sensor is mounted in a vertical position, under zero flow conditions, the sensor may produce an
output that is the result of thermally induced convection current. This occurrence is measurable in the
AWM5000 Series, particularly in the 5 SLPM versions. When designing the sensor into applications where null
stability is critical, avoid mounting the sensor in a vertical position.

NOTICE
LAMINAR FLOW
Due to the fast response time of the sensor, these specifications were generated using laminar flow. Airflow instability or
“turbulence” present in the airstream will result in an increase in measurement uncertainty.

The turbulent flow problem can be corrected by either straightening the airflow using flow laminarizing or by slowing the
response of the sensor using a simple RC time constant on the output of the sensor. This, of course, slows down the
sensor response time. The values needed depend on the amount of turbulence present in the application.

Several techniques for laminarizing the flow include adding hex shaped honeycombs, foam, screen materials or adding
constrictors (frits) to the flow stream. There are various commercial laminar flow elements that can be purchased.
Unfortunately the greater the efficiency of the laminarizer, the greater the increase in pressure drop in order to establish
a given flow rate. Plastic honeycomb material probably gives the most improvement for the least pressure drop. In any
test fixture, the avoidance of sharp radii is an absolute requirement.

Notes:
1. Custom and extended compensated temperature ranges are possible. Contact Honeywell for details.
2. Accuracy is the maximum deviation from the nominal digital output over the compensated flow range at a reference temperature of 25 C.
Errors include offset, span, non-linearity, hysteresis and non-repeatability (see Figure 3 for the Accuracy Error Band vs Flow).
3. Total error band includes all errors over the compensated flow range including all effects due to temperature over the compensated
temperature range (see Figure 4 for the Total Error Band).
4. Full Scale Span (FSS) is the algebraic difference between the digital output at the forward Full Scale (FS) flow and the digital output at the
reverse FS flow. Forward flow is defined as flow from P1 to P2 as shown in Figure 4. The references to mass flow (SCCM) refer to gas flows at
the standard conditions of 0 °C and atmospheric pressure 760 (101.3 kPa).
5. Response time: time to electrically respond to any mass flow change at the microbridge airflow transducer (response time of the transducer
may be affected by the pneumatic interface).
6. Warm-up time: time to the first valid flow measurement after power is applied.
7. Default calibration media is dry nitrogen gas. Please contact Honeywell for other calibration options.
8. Null accuracy is the maximum deviation in output at 0 SCCM from the ideal transfer function over the compensated temperature range. This
includes offset errors, thermal airflow hysteresis and repeatability errors.

Notes:
1. Custom and extended compensated temperature ranges are possible. Contact Honeywell for details.
2. Accuracy is the maximum deviation from the nominal digital output over the compensated flow range at a reference temperature of 25 C.
Errors include offset, span, non-linearity, hysteresis and non-repeatability (see Figure 3 for the Accuracy Error Band vs Flow).
3. Total error band includes all errors over the compensated flow range including all effects due to temperature over the compensated
temperature range (see Figure 4 for the Total Error Band).
4. Full Scale Span (FSS) is the algebraic difference between the digital output at the forward Full Scale (FS) flow and the digital output at the
reverse FS flow. Forward flow is defined as flow from P1 to P2 as shown in Figure 4. The references to mass flow (SCCM) refer to gas flows at
the standard conditions of 0 C and atmospheric pressure 760 (101.3 kPa).
5. Response time: time to electrically respond to any mass flow change at the microbridge airflow transducer (response time of the transducer
may be affected by the pneumatic interface).
6. Start-up time: time to first valid reading of serial number proceeding streaming 14-bit flow measurements.
7. Warm-up time: time to the first valid flow measurement after power is applied.
8. Default calibration media is dry nitrogen gas. Please contact Honeywell for other calibration options.
9. Refer to Honeywell Technical Note for I2C protocol information.
10. Null accuracy is the maximum deviation in output at 0 SCCM from the ideal transfer function over the compensated temperature range. This
includes offset errors, thermal airflow hysteresis and repeatability errors.
