Proving Power and Communicating with the Apex Mass Flow Controller
Users need to both power and provide the control
signal(0-5V,0-10V, 4-20 milliamp or RS 232) to the device.
The Apex Mass Flow Controllers and Meters can also be
controlled by the on-board display buttons and do not
need an input signal or cable.
Many users have a 24V power supply in which they want to
provide power. In that case, then the DC-61 or the DC-251
should be the choice. For the end user using FlowVision
Software, the MD8DB9 cable is best. This cable has the
RS-232 connector to connect to the users computer. A Power
Supply cable would be needed with the MD8DB9.

Power Cable
PVPS24U: This is a unregulated 24 Vdc, 120VAC, selectable plug style wall adaptor. It
can be used with any Apex style flow meter, flow controller, pressure controller or
pressure gauge.

Communications Cables
DC-61: The 8-pin circular mini-din connector cable is 6. long and has 1 male mating
connector. The opposite end is blunt cut with color-coded wires.
DC-6RT: This is a right angle, 8-pin circular mini-din connector cable at 6. long with 1
male mating connector. The opposite end is blunt cut with color-coded wires. This
cable is typically used when overall device height is critical.
DC-251: This 8-pin circular mini-din connector cable is 25. long and has 1 male mating
connector. The opposite end is blunt cut with color-coded wires.
DC-62: The 8-pin circular mini-din connector cable is also 6. in length, but is provided
with a male mating connector on both ends. It is a straight pin-to-pin cable. This cable
is typically used with the LSPM or the BB9 accessories.
MD8DB9: This is a male 8-pin circular din to female DB9 adaptor cable. It is 6’ feet in
length and is typically used to simplify connection direct to a PC.
IC-10: This is a 6-pin industrial style locking cable that is 10" in length and has 1 male
mating connector. The opposite end is blunt cut with color-coded wires. This cable
reduces available analog output signals to one parameter. This option is useful for
industrial installations in which the cable must be securely connected to the device.

DB-15: The 15pin Dsub connector is a common connection for process control
devices. The Dsub connector is installed in place of the standard 8 pin mini din that is
normally used with the Alicat device. A single 15 pin Dsub cable is included with this
option.
