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.
The K factor will be needed to program the monitor readout.
Enter Program Mode
Change to PROGRAM mode by pressing MENU. The mode indicator will change from RUN to PROGRAM.
OTE:N If any input value exceeds the meter’s capabilities for that particular parameter, the LIMIT indicator will begin to flash
indicating an invalid entry. Press ENTER to return to the parameter’s entry screen to reenter the value.

Select Meter Size
At the METER prompt, press the UP or RIGHT arrows to select the bore size of the meter. Press ENTER to save meter size
choice and advance to the K factor units selection.
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 inch up to one inch. Be sure to use the correct bore size or the meter will report incorrect
flows and totals.
Enter the Meter's K Factor Unit
Directly after the meter size is selected, the display’s K factor unit must be chosen. Use the UP arrow to select your K factor
unit. For meters calibrated in gallons, use PUL/GAL (pulses per gallon), for meters calibrated in cubic meters, use PUL/M3
(pulses per cubic meter), etc. Press ENTER to save the Kfactor unit and advance to the next 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.
OTE:N The K factor supplied with the meter or calculated from calibration data will be needed to complete the next step.
