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 signal(s).
ENTER – Used to enter sub- menus, save programming information and in the reset process. If your monitor was ordered with a Blancett flow meter, the two components ship from the factory, calibrated as a set. If the monitor is a replacement, the turbine’s K-Factor has changed, or the monitor is being used with some other pulse generating device, programming will be necessary.

Note: The meter connection size and the bore size are different. For example, many of the 1” NPT turbines have bore sizes that range from 3/8” up 1”. Be sure to use the correct bore size or the meter could report incorrect flows and totals. Select the Display Function –...

Select the Total’s Display Multiplier – The monitor has a very versatile display that has the ability to accumulate the flow total in multiples of ten. For example, if the most desirable totalization unit is 1,000 gallons, the monitor can easily be set up for this requirement. Once the unit is back in RUN mode, every time the total display is incremented by one digit the actual total would be an additional 1,000 gallons.
Additional Scaling Parameters Note: Some of the following scaling parameters are model dependent and may not be displayed. Scale Factor – At the SCALE F prompt, press the ENTER key once. The current Scale Factor will begin to flash. If the current selection is correct, press the ENTER key to advance to the next parameter.

4mA Adjustment – While monitoring the ammeter, adjust the 4mA value to obtain a 4mA reading. The arrow key increments the value and the arrow key decrements the value. When a steady 4mA reading is obtained on the ammeter, press the ENTER key to lock in this value and move to the 20mA adjustment.

METER size screen, pressing MENU exits the programming mode. The B2800 Flow Monitor is now ready for use with its companion meter. Reset Total – To reset the monitor total display, in run mode press the MENU and ENTER simultaneously until TOTAL RST starts to flash.
Battery Replacement Battery powered monitors use a single 1.5V, D size, alkaline battery. When replacement is necessary, use a clean fresh battery to insure continued trouble free operation. It is recommended that the total be saved to memory before the battery is removed. (See “Store Total”...

5. Pull wires into enclosure making certain they are long enough to make the required connections and to remove the instrument or power supply if servicing is required. Install instrument and power supply, if applicable and make all electrical connections. NOTE: When installing device be sure to check instrument dimensions to avoid interference with clamping ring on glass lens and the cover on standard units.
Troubleshooting 1) No LCD Display - For Battery powered version Check Battery Voltage. Should be 1.5VDC (replace is low or bad). For Loop powered version Check for current flow in the loop. Check polarity of the current loop connections for proper orientation. 2) No Rate or Total Displayed - Check connection from meter pickup to display input terminals.
General Notes on Scaling This information is supplied as a general introduction to the basic concepts used to scale rate displays. The applicability of the information is dependent of the type and capabilities of the specific display/monitor used. Flow meters producing an electronic signal are normally supplied in one of two output formats.

Given that the meter has a maximum flow rate of 25GPM the maximum frequency would then Frequency = 2,000 x 25(gallons) ÷ 60 = 833.333Hz at 25GPM A programmable display requires at least two points. The first point is going to be the zero or minimum flow and the second would normally be the maximum flow rate.
