Keep the manual accessible for future reference. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Upon opening the shipping container, visually inspect the product and applicable accessories for any physical damage such as scratches, loose or broken parts, or any other...
Introduction INTOODUCTION The B2800 flow monitor is a state-of-the-art digital signal processing flow monitor, designed to provide exceptional flexibility at a very affordable price� Though designed for use with Blancett flow meters, this display can be used with almost any flow meter producing a low amplitude AC output or contact closure signals�...

Programming POOGOAMMING Each turbine flow meter is shipped with either a K-factor value or frequency data� If frequency data is provided, the data must be converted to a K-factor before programming the monitor� K-factor information, when supplied, can usually be found on the neck of the flow meter or stamped on the flow meter body�...

Programming Example If the meter was calibrated in US gallons, use PUL/GAL� Press ENTEO to save the K-factor unit and advance to the K FACTOR parameter� OTEE: Unless otherwise specified, Blancett turbine flow meters are supplied with K-factors measured in pulses per gallon (PUL/GAL) which will automatically convert to your desired units of measure�...
Programming Totalizer Pulse Output The pulse output parameter can be enabled or disabled� When enabled this output generates 20 mS duration pulse for every time the least significant digit of the totalizer increments� The amplitude of the pulse is dependent on the voltage level of the supply connected to the pulse output and is limited to a maximum 30V DC�...
Additional Scaling Parameters ADDITIONAL SCALING PAOAMETEOS OTEE: The programming instructions below are only available for loop powered units� Battery powered units do not include these programming parameters� Flow 4 mA Setting Zero is the default flow rate at the 4 mA setting� If the current selection is correct, press ENTEO to advance to the Flow 20 mA parameter�...
Additional Scaling Parameters 4…20 mA Test The monitor contains a diagnostic routine that allows the simulation of mA values between 4…20 to check output tracking� At the 4-20TEST prompt press UP to increment the simulated mA output or OIGHT to decrement the value in increments of 1 mA�...
Additional Input Options ADDITIONAL INPUT OPTIONS The B2800 flow monitor is capable of receiving magnetic pickup input (small signal sine wave) or a contact closure input (pulse)� Since most Blancett turbine flow meters use a magnetic pickup, the B2800 flow monitor is shipped configured for magnetic pickup input� To change to a contact closure input, remove JP2 from the top two pins and jumper them to the bottom two pins�...
Troubleshooting Guide TOOUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Issue Oemedy • Check battery voltage� Should be 1�5V DC� Replace if low or bad� No LCD display • Check connection from meter pickup to display input terminals� No rate or total • Check turbine meter rotor for debris� Rotor should spin freely� displayed •...
