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 Flow Monitor – 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, 0.75 inch high numeric display. Eight character, 0.38 inch high alphanumeric display. Fixed or toggle modes of operation for flow rate and totalizer display.
Programming Manual 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. To access the PROGRAM mode, press MENU until the first programming screen is displayed.

The current meter size number will begin to flash. Using the arrow keys, scroll through the size choices to select the bore size of your meter. Press ENTER to save meter size choice.
Programming Manual Select Units of Measure If a flow amount is desirable, the units for the total must first be chosen. The monitor allows the choice of many common totalization units. (See the SPECIFICATIONS on page 6 for a complete listing of the unit choices.) At the TOTAL UNT prompt, ENTER. The monitor shows the current total units. If the current selection is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter.
Flow Monitor, B2800 Flow Monitor – Advanced Flow 4 mA Setting When the loop powered option is ordered, the flow rate that corresponds to 4 mA must be set. If the current selection is correct, press the RIGHT arrow to advance to the next parameter. If adjustment is required, press ENTER at the FLOW 4MA prompt. The most significant digit will begin to flash. The RIGHT arrow moves the active digit one place to the right for each press of the key.
Programming Manual Linearization Enhanced accuracy can be obtained by linearization of the display. The linearization routine will accept a maximum of ten points. Linearization requires additional calibration data from the meter to be used with the monitor. Typically, calibration information can be obtained in three, five, and ten points from the flow meter’s manufacturer. If linearization is not needed, press the RIGHT arrow key to advance to the next parameter.
Flow Monitor, B2800 Flow Monitor – Advanced 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.

Flow Monitor, B2800 Flow Monitor – 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 Flow Monitor – Advanced TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Trouble Remedy No LCD Display • Check battery voltage. Should be 1.5V DC. Replace if low or dead. 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.
