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 – Simplified SPECIFICATIONS Power Supply Options Battery Powered One D size, 1.5V alkaline battery. Loop Powered Optional 4-20 mA loop power. 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%. Temperature Drift 50 ppm / ° C (maximum). Mounting Style Panel Mount (3.6 inch × 3.6 inch Opening).
Programming Manual 3.6 in (9.144 cm) 3.6 in (9.144 cm) Figure 2: Panel cutout OPERATING THE MONITOR The monitor has two modes of operation referred to as the RUN mode and the PROGRAM mode. Both the RUN mode and the PROGRAM mode display screen enunciators confirming the state of the monitor. A quick glance at the lower left-hand corner of the LCD screen will confirm operating status. Normal operation will be in the RUN mode.
Flow Monitor, B2800 Panel Mount – Simplified 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 Enter the Meter's K Factor To change the K-FACTOR value, use the RIGHT arrow and select the position of the number that you wish to change. Using the UP arrow, increment the display digit until it matches the meter’s K factor digit. Repeat this process until all K factor digits have been entered. Press ENTER to save the K factor and advance to the RATE/TOTAL units selection. Select the Rate/Total Units of Measure The monitor allows the choice of five common rate/total units.
Flow Monitor, B2800 Panel Mount – Simplified 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. BATTERY REPLACEMENT Battery powered monitors use a single 1.5V, “D” size, alkaline battery.
Programming Manual ADDITIONAL INPUT OPTIONS The B2800 flow monitor is capable of receiving magnetic pickup input (small signal sine wave) or a contact closure input (pulse). Since most Blancett turbine flow meters utilize a magnetic pickup, the B2800 flow 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 5. TB2 Reset Pulse Inuput + - Pulse Out Pulse Input Card Freq.
