Programming Manual INTRODUCTION The B2800 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 signal. This flow monitor is capable of accepting a low level frequency input for calculating flow rate and total.
Flow Monitor, B2800 Panel Mount – Advanced SPECIFICATIONS Power Supply Options Battery Powered One D size, 1.5V alkaline battery. Loop Powered Optional 4–20 mA loop power. Power Consumption Battery Powered Less than 1 milliwatt. Loop Powered 25 mA maximum. Alphanumeric Rate and Total Display Eight digit, 0.50 inch high numeric display. Eight character, 0.25 inch high alphanumeric display. Fixed or toggle modes of operation for flow rate and totalizer display. Accuracy ±0.1%.
Programming Manual INSTALLATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Cut a 3.6 inch × 3.6 inch square opening in the panel. See Figure 2. Disconnect the battery from the main board terminal. Remove the large battery mounting plate by removing the four Phillips head screws from the main assembly standoffs. Mount the main assembly through the panel opening and temporarily hold in place (tape will work). Attach the signal wires to the appropriate terminal blocks.
Flow Monitor, B2800 Panel Mount – Advanced PROGRAMMING USING PULSE OUTPUT TURBINE FLOW METERS 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.
Programming Manual Select Rate (Time) Interval The term rate implies that something is occurring over a period of time. Most people are familiar with the rate of speed of a car reported in miles per hour (mph). The same concept holds true for a flow meter. The time choices are SEC (seconds), MIN (minutes), HOUR (hours), and DAY (days). At the RATE INT prompt, press ENTER. The monitor now shows the current time interval. If the current selection is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter.
Flow Monitor, B2800 Panel Mount – Advanced Damping Factor At the DAMPING prompt, press ENTER. The current damping setting will begin to flash. If the current selection is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter. The damping factor is increased to enhance the stability of the flow readings. Damping values are decreased to allow the flow meter to react faster to changing values of flow. This parameter can take on any value between 0…99 with 0 being the default.
Programming Manual 4 mA Adjustment While monitoring the ammeter, adjust the 4 mA value to obtain a 4 mA reading. The UP arrow increments the value and the RIGHT arrow decrements the value. When a steady 4 mA reading is obtained on the ammeter, press ENTER to lock in this value and move to the 20 mA adjustment. 20 mA Adjustment The 20 mA adjustment is performed using the same procedure as the 4 mA adjustment. While monitoring the ammeter, adjust the 20 mA value to obtain a 20 mA reading.
Flow Monitor, B2800 Panel Mount – Advanced Reset Password Reset password protection prevents unauthorized users from manually resetting the flow monitor’s accumulated totals. Initially, the password is set to all zeros. To change the password, press ENTER at the RST PSWD prompt. The first digit of the password value will begin to flash. Using the arrow keys as previously described, enter the password value. Pressing ENTER will store the password and take you back to the METER size screen.

Flow Monitor, B2800 Panel Mount – Advanced ADDITIONAL SCALING PARAMETERS This information is supplied as a general introduction to the basic concepts used to scale rate displays. The applicability of the information is dependent on the type and capabilities of the specific display/monitor used. Flow meters producing an electronic signal are normally supplied in one of two output formats.

Flow Monitor, B2800 Panel Mount – Advanced TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Trouble Remedy No LCD Display • Check battery voltage. Should be 1.5V DC. Replace if low or bad. No Rate or Total Displayed • Check connection from meter pickup to display input terminals. • Check turbine meter rotor for debris. Rotor should spin freely. • Check programming of flow monitor. Flow Rate Display Interprets Reading Constantly • • • • This is usually an indication of external noise. Keep all AC wires separate from DC wires.
