Product Overview
The AFM3000 is a digital mass flow meter from Aosong Electronics, specifically designed for ventilator applications. It accurately measures the flow of air, oxygen, and other non-corrosive gases. Featuring a specialized duct design for very low pressure loss, the AFM3000 is suitable for demanding applications such as medical ventilation and respiratory care. It operates on a 5V power supply and features a digital I2C interface, with internally calibrated and temperature-compensated output measurements. The sensor's performance is based on Aosong's sensor technology, integrating a thermal sensing chip with a high-performance 24-bit AD acquisition CMOS microprocessor for fast signal processing, high accuracy, and bidirectional measurement capabilities.

Notes
- All sensor specifications are valid at 25, VDD = 5V, and absolute pressure = 966 mbar, unless otherwise specified.
- Standard liters per minute at 20 and 1013 mbar.
- Sensor is calibrated in a horizontal position.
- Ensure good inlet flow conditions: connecting tube inner diameter should be similar to the AFM3000's main flow channel. Inlet tube must be straight and at least 10cm long. Grids are installed at the inlet and outlet to reduce turbulence.
- The AFM3000 features digital temperature compensation; no external compensation is required.
- Avoid applying mechanical stress to solder joints during or due to PCB assembly.
- AFM3000 conforms to AEC-Q-100-002 (4kV HBM) and AEC-Q-100-003 (200V MM) for electrostatic discharge. Handle with anti-static precautions.
