INTRODUCTION

The B2800 flow monitor is a state-of-the-art digital signal processing flow monitor, designed to provide 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.

This flow monitor is capable of accepting a low level frequency input for calculating flow rate and total. The calculations can

then be displayed in the desired units of measurement. All B2800 flow monitors come pre-programmed from the factory, if

ordered with a Blancett flow meter. If required, however, it can easily be reconfigured in the field. The monitor’s large 8-digit

by 0.75 in. (19.05 mm) numeric liquid crystal display makes extended range viewing practical. The second 8-digit by

0.38 in. (9.65 mm) alphanumeric display provides for selectable units viewing in run mode and prompts for variables in

program mode. Finally, you can choose to display rate or total, or alternate between both rate and total.

If your monitor was ordered with a Blancett flow meter, the two components ship from the factory calibrated as a set. If the

monitor is a replacement, the turbine’s K-factor has changed or the monitor is being used with some other pulse generating

device, the monitor must be programmed.

Operating the Monitor

Page 5May 2015 DSY-PM-00276-EN-02

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.

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.

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.

OTE:N If you ordered the B2800 flow monitor with a Blancett turbine flow meter, the 4…20 mA was programmed and

factory calibrated.
