5.7 Analog Interface ConfigurationThe DFC can be configured for the desired range and scaling by selection ofanalog board (see APPENDIX 1 on page 21

6.2 Flow Path CleaningBefore attempting any disassembly of the unit for cleaning, try inspecting the flowpaths by looking into the inlet and outlet

Inspect the flow path inside the transducer for any visible signs of contaminants.If necessary, flush the flow path through with alcohol. Thoroughly d
