  • Page 8: Operator Alarms

    Page 8 By pressing the SELECT-key, the operator can scroll through the screens showing the various process values. The following table shows the available information: Display information Function MAIN SCREEN Flowrate SCREEN 1 Total and reset Total SCREEN 2 Acc. Total Display flowrate Internally, the flowrate is calculated up to 8 times a second, To obtain a readable value, the flowrate shown on the display is updated once every second.
  • Page 9: Configuration

    Make sure that the unit is not being used for any application when altering the settings. 3.2.1 ENTERING SETUP-LEVEL Configuration of the B-SMART is done at SETUP-level, which can be reached at all times while the B-SMART remains fully operational. At SETUP-level the display will deactivate the indicator...

    Tool, which allows you to setup the configuration as desired, up- or download the settings to the device and print a hardcopy for each product. The connection between the B-SMART and the PC is made by means of the service port and a special communications cable that can be ordered separately. This is described in section 4.7.4: Service-port.

    Page 12 MENU 1 – TOTAL 3.3.2 Total and flowrate are configured independently. Both have their own K-factor and measurement unit. Example: Calculating the K-factor. To manually calculate the K-factor to enter for total or flowrate, follow this example: Assume that the flowmeter generates 65.231 pulses per US gallon and the required measurement unit is cubic foot / ft .

  • Page 19: Electrical Installation

    DO NOT OPEN AN INSTALLED ENCLOSURE WHEN CIRCUITS ARE ALIVE. • Electro static discharge does inflict irreparable damage to electronics! Before installing or opening the B-SMART, the installer has to discharge himself by touching a well- grounded object. • The B-SMART must be installed in accordance with the EMC guidelines (Electro Magnetic Compatibility).
  • Page 20: Terminal Connectors

    The sensor output of the flowmeter should match with the selected flowmeter input signal at SETUP 3.1. See paragraph 3.3.4 for more information. Sine-wave signal (Coil) The B-SMART is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a coil output signal. The minimum sensitivity level is 30mVpp. Fig. 12: Terminal connections – Coil signal input...
  • Page 21 Page 21 Pulse-signal NPN The B-SMART is suitable for use with flowmeters which have a NPN output signal. For reliable pulse detection, the signal should be above 1.4V or below 1.0V under all circumstances. It is advised to use a sensor which is normally open and is closed for a small time (less power consumption).
  • Page 22: Namur-Signal

    Fig. 15: Terminal connections – Reed-switch signal input NAMUR-signal The B-SMART is suitable for flowmeters with a NAMUR signal. The B-SMART is able to power the NAMUR sensor via the 8.2V sensor supply (terminal 4). Fig. 16: Terminal connections – NAMUR signal input...
  • Page 23: Terminal 5-6: Analog Output

    See paragraph 3.3.5 for more details. The analog output generates a 4-20mA output signal proportional to the measured flowrate and has the ability to power the B-SMART from the loop. When the output is disabled, a constant current of 3.3mA is generated.
  • Page 24: Service Port

    4.7.5 SERVICE PORT The service port is available to configure the B-SMART via an external device, e.g. a laptop.
