This flow monitor is capable of accepting a low-level frequency input for calculating flow rate and total. These calculations can then be displayed in the desired units of measurement. All B2800 flow monitors come pre-calibrated, from the factory, if ordered with a Blancett Flow Meter.
SPECIFICATIONS Power Supply Options: Battery Powered: 1 “D” size 1.5 Volt alkaline battery Loop Powered: Optional 4-20 mA loop power Alphanumeric Rate and Total Display: 8 digit, .75” high numeric display 8 character, .38” high alphanumeric display Fixed or toggle modes of operation for flow rate and totalizer display Accuracy: ±0.1% Temperature Drift = 50ppm/°C (Max)
RUN – Normal operating mode PROGRAM – Used to program variables into the display If your monitor was ordered with a Blancett flow meter, the two components ship from the factory, calibrated as a set. If the moni- tor 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.
Programming Using Pulse Output Turbine Flow Meters 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 body.

M3 (pulses per cubic meter), etc. Press ENTER to save the K- factor unit and advance to the next parameter. Note: 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.

store the password and take you back to the RST PSWD screen. Note: This password will allow the operator to manually reset totals. RST PSWD – The reset password screen allows the operator to enter any 4 digit code for the manual reset totals function. Note: This reset password code will not allow the opera- tor to enter the programming mode.
ADDITIONAL INPUT OPTIONS The B2800 Flow Monitor is capable of receiving Magnetic Pick- up input (small signal sine wave) or a Contact Closure input (pulse). Since most Blancett Turbine Flow Meters utilize a mag- netic pick-up, the B2800 flow monitor is shipped configured for magnetic pick-up input.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Trouble Remedy • Check battery voltage. Should be 1.5 VDC. Replace if No LCD Display low or bad. • Check connection from meter pick-up to display input terminals. No Rate or Total • Check turbine meter rotor for debris. Rotor should spin Displayed freely.

The ammeter should track the simulated mA output. If a 4- 20mA test in not necessary, pressing the ENTER key once will escape the testing at any time. Note: If your B2800 flow monitor was ordered with a Blancett Turbine flow meter, the 4-20mA was pro- grammed and factory calibrated.
