How do I clean my thermal mass flow meter sensor?

How to Properly Clean the Mass Flow Sensor?

Sage thermal mass flow meters require little maintenance. The sensing element is somewhat resistant to dirt and particulate build-up. However, if the user mounts the meter in a filthy environment, it may become necessary to clean the sensor periodically.

If cleaning the sensor:

1. 1. Remove the power before cleaning.
   2. Use a  detergent or appropriate non-corrosive solvent to remove the buildup.
   3. Use a soft brush to gently clean the sensing element’s surface (use caution to avoid damaging the sensor elements (the RTDs).

Note: If you need to do any disassembly to clean the sensor, contact Sage Metering for instructions or call 831-242-2030.

In general, we recommend that you return your Sage meter to the factory for cleaning, repair, or recalibration.
