SLAMF60S1BCA0K2A3 is a Brooks Instrument SLAMf Series digital thermal mass flow meter for gas measurement in harsh environments. Its ordering code specifies RS485 communication, a 1/4-inch tube-compression connection, PTFE O-ring, sensor-only construction, 4–20 mA analog I/O through a 1/2-inch NPT female conduit entry, nominal 24 Vdc power, standard response, and UL Listed Division 2/Zone 2 certification. The calibrated gas, exact full-scale flow, pressure build, and revision require the unit nameplate or manufacturer calibration record
Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.

Hazardous-Area Installation Warnings
The manufacturer’s UL Listed installation requirements apply to certification code 3.
Do not disconnect the equipment unless power has been removed or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.
Install the zero screw to maintain the Type 4X/IP66 enclosure rating.
Correct installation of the supplied cable-lock arrangement is required to maintain UL Class I, Division 2 certification.
