Instruction Manual
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 reset password, simply enter any four digit code using the arrows as
previously described to enter the password value. Pressing ENTER will store the reset password.
OTE:N Entering a password in the PASSWORD screen and leaving the password blank in the RST PSWD screen would allow
for total resets (not requiring password) and restrict programming modification.
Reset Total
To reset the monitor’s total display, in RUN mode press MENU and ENTER simultaneously until TOTAL RST starts to flash. The
TOTAL RST will stop flashing and the display will return to RUN mode at the conclusion of the procedure.
Store Total
The current total can be manually stored in the monitor’s flash memory. This procedure may be desirable prior to changing
the settings or replacing the battery. Press and hold ENTER for two seconds. The display will respond with a flashing
TOTALSVD and then return 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 off.
Loop Powered Once every ten minutes.
ADDITIONAL INPUT OPTIONS
The Blancett flow monitor is capable of receiving magnetic pickup input or a contact closure input. Since most Blancett flow
meters utilize a magnetic pickup, the monitor is shipped configured for magnetic pickup input. To change to a contact closure
input, remove JP2 from the bottom two pins and jumper them to the top two pins. See Figure 4.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Battery powered monitors use a single 1.5V, D size alkaline battery. When replacement is necessary, use a clean fresh battery
to ensure continued trouble-free operation. It is recommended that the total be saved to memory before the battery
is removed.
DO NOT OPEN EXPLOSION PROOF ENCLOSURE UNLESS THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE FREE OF HAZARDS. FAILURE
TO MAKE THE AREA SAFE BEFORE OPENING THE ENCLOSURE CAN RESULT IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WITH A
POTENTIAL FOR INJURY.
Carefully unscrew the enclosure cover to access the circuit board. Remove the four screws securing the circuit board to
the enclosure. Lay the circuit board to the side being careful not to pull any wires from their connections. Clip the battery
retaining wire/strap and remove the battery. Replace the battery, being sure to observe the proper polarity and install a new
retaining strap or wire. Reassemble the monitor, reversing the disassembly process.
