INTRODUCTION
The B2800XP flow monitor is a state-of-the-art digital signal processing flow monitor designed to provide the user with
exceptional flexibility at a very affordable price. Though 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 signals.
The B2800XP 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. The monitor’s large eight digit by 0.50 inch (12.7
mm) numeric liquid crystal display makes extended range viewing practical. The second eight digit by 0.25 inch (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.

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.
