Blancett B3100 Flow Monitor Page 4 1 Description of the automatic unit conversion The automatic unit conversion is a feature that helps you to avoid the different K-Factor calculations for the (accumulated) total and the flowrate. With the automatic unit conversion, you only need the test/calibration certificate that came with your flowmeter.
Blancett B3100 Flow Monitor Page 5 2 How to setup the automatic unit conversion This chapter explains the procedure how to setup the automatic unit conversion. 2.1 How to set the K-Factor (units) for the flowmeter For easy access the procedure gives the action (what to do), the result (how the B3100 will respond) and a notice to give additional information to make the procedure more easy to do.
