INTRODUCTION
The B2800 flow monitor is a state-of-the-art digital signal processing flow monitor, designed to provide exceptional flexibility
at an affordable price. Though it is 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.
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 a variety of units of measurement. The monitor’s large eight digit by 0.50 in. (12.7 mm) numeric liquid
crystal display makes extended range viewing practical. The second eight digit by 0.25 in. (6.35 mm) alphanumeric display
provides for selectable units viewing in run mode and prompts for variables in program mode. The display can show rate,
total or alternate between both rate and total.

PROGRAMMING
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 flow meter body. The K-factor represents the number of pulses per unit of volume.
The K-factor is needed to program the monitor readout.

Press MENU to enter the programming mode. The mode indicator changes from RUN to PROGRAM.
Select Meter Size
At the METER prompt, press UP or RIGHT to scroll to the bore size of your meter. Press ENTER to save and advance to the
K-factor Units parameter.
OTE:N 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…1 in. Be sure to use the correct bore size or the meter will report incorrect flows and totals.
Enter The K-Factor Unit
Press UP or RIGHT to scroll to the K-factor unit of the meter. Enter the unit that the meter was calibrated in.
Example
If the meter was calibrated in US gallons, use PUL/GAL.
Press ENTER to save the K-factor unit and advance to the K FACTOR parameter.
OTE:N 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.
Enter The Meter's K-Factor
OTE:N The K-factor supplied with the meter or calculated from calibration data is needed to set this parameter.
To change the K-factor value, press RIGHT to select the digit that you wish to change. Press UP to increment the digit until it
matches the meter’s K-factor. Repeat this process until all K-factor digits have been entered. Press ENTER to save the K-factor
and advance to RATE/TOTAL.

Select the Units of Measure
The monitor is programmed with five common rate/total unit options. 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 DISPLAY FUNCTION parameter.
To change the unit, press UP or RIGHT to scroll to the correct rate unit. Press ENTER to save and advance to the DISPLAY
FUNCTION parameter.
Selection Rate Total
GPM/GAL Gallons per minute Gallons
LPM/LIT Liters per minute Liters
M3PH/M3 Cubic meters per hour Cubic meters
M3PD/M3 Cubic meters per day Cubic meters
BPD/BBL Oil barrels per day Oil barrels
Select the Display Function
The monitor displays RATE, TOTAL, alternates between BOTH rate and total or TEST. If the current selection is correct, press
ENTER to advance to the next parameter. To change to an alternate display mode, press UP or RIGHT to scroll to the correct
display mode and press ENTER to save and advance to the TOTALIZER PULSE OUTPUT parameter.
The TEST function 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 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. Press UP or RIGHT to scroll to ON or OFF. Press
ENTER to save and advance to the PASSWORD parameter.
Password
The PASSWORD setting restricts access to PROGRAM mode. Initially, the password is set to all zeros and any user can modify
the parameter settings in PROGRAM mode. To change the password, enter any four digit code. Press UP to increment the digit,
and RIGHT to advance to the next digit. Press ENTER to store the password and advance to RST PSWD. The new password is
now required to enter PROGRAM mode. With this password set, any user is able to reset the stored totals on the monitor.
Reset Password
The RST PSWD restricts resetting the totals on the monitor. The PASSWORD must also be set to restrict the total reset. Initially,
the password is set to all zeros and any user can reset the stored totals on the monitor. To change the password, enter any four
digit code. Press UP to increment the digit, and RIGHT to advance to the next digit. After entering all digits, press ENTER to
store the password and return to RUN mode. The reset password is now required to reset the totals on the monitor.
Run Mode
Reset Total
To reset the monitor total display, in RUN mode press MENU and ENTER simultaneously. If the RST PSWD has been set to
something other than the default, you must enter the new password before the monitor will reset. The monitor flashes
TOTAL RST and returns to RUN mode at the conclusion of the reset procedure.
Store Total
The current total can be manually stored in the monitor’s flash memory. Use this feature prior to replacing the battery. Press
and hold ENTER for 2 seconds. The display responds with a flashing TOTALSVD and then returns to RUN mode.
Automatic Store Total
The monitor is equipped with a store total feature that works automatically, saving the current total to flash memory. The
frequency of saves depends on the power supply option chosen.
Battery Powered: Once per hour and just before a low battery condition turns the unit o.
Loop Powered: Once every ten minutes.

ADDITIONAL SCALING PARAMETERS
OTE:N The programming instructions below are only available for loop powered units. Battery powered units do not include
these programming parameters.
Flow 4 mA Setting
Zero is the default flow rate at the 4 mA setting. If the current selection is correct, press ENTER to advance to the Flow 20 mA
parameter. To change the setting, press UP to increment the flashing digit and press RIGHT to move to the next digit. Press
ENTER to save and advance to the Flow 20 mA parameter.
Flow 20 mA Setting
The turbine meter’s maximum flow rate is the default value for the 20 mA setting. If the current selection is correct, press
ENTER to advance to the 4…20 mA Calibration parameter. To change the setting, press UP to increment the flashing digit and
press RIGHT to move to the next digit. Press ENTER to save and advance to the 4…20 mA Calibration parameter.
4…20 mA Calibration
The 4…20 mA Calibration parameter is the fine adjustment of the 4…20 mA output. The 4 mA setting is typically between
35…50. To set the 4 mA value, connect an ammeter in series with the loop power supply. At the 4MA OUT prompt, press UP to
increment and RIGHT to decrement the 4 mA value to until a steady 4 mA reading is reached on the ammeter. Press ENTER to
lock in this value and advance to 20MA OUT. The 20 mA adjustment is performed using the same procedure as the
4 mA adjustment.
4…20 mA Test
The monitor contains a diagnostic routine that allows the simulation of mA values between 4…20 to check output tracking.
At the 4-20TEST prompt press UP to increment the simulated mA output or RIGHT to decrement the value in increments of
1 mA. The ammeter should track the simulated mA output. If a 4…20 mA test in not necessary, press ENTER once to escape
the testing at any time.
