Flow Monitor, B2800 Flow Monitor – Simplified
Select Meter Size
At the METER prompt, press the UP or RIGHT arrows to select the bore size of your meter Press ENTER to save meter size
choice and advance to the K factor units selection
N
OTEE:
The meter connection size and the bore size are different For example, many of the one inch NPT turbines have bore
sizes that range from 3⁄8 inch up to 1 inch Be sure to use the correct bore size or the meter will report incorrect flows
and totals
Enter the K Factor Unit
Directly after the meter size is selected, the display's K factor unit must be chosen Use the UP arrow to select your K factor
unit For meters calibrated in gallons, use PUL/GAL (pulses per gallon), for meters calibrated in cubic meters, use PUL/M3
(pulses per cubic meter), etc Press ENTER to save the K factor unit and advance to the next parameter
N
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
N
OTEE:
The K factor supplied with the meter or calculated from calibration data will be needed to complete the next step
Enter the Meter's K Factor
To change the K factor value, use the RIGHT arrow and select the position of the number that you wish to change Using the
UP arrow, increment the display digit until it matches the meter's K factor digit Repeat this process until all K factor digits
have been entered Press ENTER to save the K factor and advance to the RATE/TOTAL units selection
Select the Units of Measure
The monitor allows the choice of five common rate/total units The monitor shows the rate/total unit that the display is
currently set for If the current selection is correct, press ENTER once to advance to the next parameter To change to an
alternate unit, use the arrow keys to scroll to the desired rate unit and press ENTER to save the choice
N
OTEE:
The total unit's output multiplier cannot be modified in the Simplified program level This option is reserved in the
Advanced program level
Select the Display Function
The monitor can display RATE or TOTAL or alternate between BOTH rate and total If the current selection is correct, press
ENTER to advance to the next parameter To change to an alternate display mode, use the arrows to scroll to the desired
display mode and press ENTER to save the choice
A TEST function is also available in the Display Function submenu With the test function selected, the display acts like a
frequency counter and displays the raw input frequency being supplied to the frequency input terminals This is very useful
when troubleshooting flow problems
Totalizer Pulse Output
The pulse output parameter can be either 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
