Overview
Asymtek’s Flow Monitoring System (FMS) aids in closing the dispensing loop of the conformal coating
process. The FMS monitors the volume of material dispensed against an established target volume. It is
designed for use with the Century® C-740 Series selective conformal coating platforms equipped with
either the SC-200 Tri-Mode Swirl Coat ® or SC-205 Film Coater. This manual contains the installation,
operations, maintenance, and service instructions for the FMS.
Safety First
Prior to operating the Flow Monitoring System, please review the Safety sections of this manual and the
Century Series C-740/C-741 Installation, Operations, and Maintenance Manual.
CAUTION! Installation, operations, maintenance, and service of the Flow Monitoring System
should be performed by trained personnel only.
