Introductory Description
The heart of the CMOSens
®
 Mass Flow Meter is 
powered by Sensirion’s unsurpassed CMOSens
®
 sensor 
technology. The CMOSens
®
 EM1 Mass Flow Meter 
therefore provides unbeatable performance at very 
attractive system cost. One single device covers a range 
of 0.05 ln/min up to 200 ln/min . 
The CMOSens
®
 EM1 runs with an internal flow 
integration time of 5ms. This allows correct measurement 
and display of fast changing signals. But very often a 
precise total flow over a longer period is of higher interest 
than a fast single measurement. For this purpose the 
CMOSens
®
 EM1 Mass Flow Meter can be set to slower 
read out times (see  
Table 
4
). The sensor internally still integrates in 5 ms 
slices and recognizes fast signal changes but for the read 
out the total flow over the whole period is calculated. The 
CMOSens
®
 Mass Flow Meter therefore is exceptionally 
well suited for difficult measurement conditions when fast 
changing gas flows must be monitored and summed up 
precisely. 
The CMOSens
®
 EM1 Mass Flow Meter measures true 
mass flow independent of the ambient temperature and 
pressure changes. You simply connect the gas to be 
measured to the CMOSens
®
 EM1 device to get an 
instantaneous gas mass flow integral with a selectable 
integration time between 5 ms and 640 ms. Depending 
on the type a flow range between 0.1 ln/min and up to 
200 ln/min can directly be measured by connecting the 
CMOSens
®
 EM1 Mass Flow Meter. 
In addition to mass flow, the CMOSens
®
 EM1 device 
provides information about the temperature on the 
CMOSens
®
 sensor element. Both mass flow and 
temperature data are accessed through an RS232 
interface. The RS232 interface allows you to directly 
connect the CMOSens
®
 EM1 Mass Flow Meter to a PC. 
If a special interface such as 4-20 mA current output or 
other or another flow range is required, contact Sensirion 
for a customer specific solution. 
Please contact Sensirion before using any corrosive, 
toxic or explosive gas types (see also section 1.6 and 
1.7). However, the standard calibration gas is 
nitrogen. Please contact Sensirion, if you would like to 
use the sensor for applications with other gases.

CMOSens
®
 sensor technology
 
CMOSens
®
 is the base technology for all Sensirion 
multi sensor modules and sensor systems. The 
unification of semiconductor chip and sensor 
technology serves as a platform for highly integrated 
system solutions with excellent sensor precision and 
reliability. With CMOSens
®
, the on-chip sensor 
element forms an integrated whole with a high-end 
amplification and A/D converter circuit. Due to the 
compact single-chip design, CMOSens
®
 based 
sensors are very resistant to electromagnetic 
disturbances (EMC), another important technical 
advantage of this state of the art sensor technology. 
As a result, CMOSens
®
 based multi sensor modules 
offer excellent sensor precision, fast response time 
and a very large dynamic measurement range. In 
addition, the digital intelligence of the CMOSens
®
 
sensor technology enables digital interfaces that 
permit an easy link with the system of the customer, a 
real advantage and benefit that results in ready-to-use 
problem solutions.
