Compact Digital Flow Monitor, Model B3000 INTRODUCTION The B3000 flow monitor incorporates state-of-the-art, digital signal processing technology, designed to provide the user with exceptional flexibility at a very affordable price. Though designed for use with Blancett flow sensors, this monitor can be used with almost any flow sensor producing a low amplitude AC output or contact closure signal.

Compact Digital Flow Monitor, Model B3000 INSTALLATION Connecting the B3000 to a Frequency Output Device Most turbine flow sensors produce a frequency output that is directly proportional to the volumetric flow through the sensor. There are, however, different output waveforms that can be presented to the display device depending on the transducer that converts the mechanical motion of the turbine into an electrical signal.

Compact Digital Flow Monitor, Model B3000 POWER CONNECTIONS Standard The power supply used in the B30A/B/X/Z is an internal lithium 3.6V DC “D” cell that will power the monitor for about six years when no outputs are used. The monitor can also get power from a 4-20 mA current loop (see Figure 9 and Figure 10). If the current loop is used a sensing circuit within the monitor detects the presence of the current loop and disconnects the battery from the circuit.
Programming Manual Solar A solar cell mounted on the top of the monitor in the B30S charges an internal 3.6V DC nickel-cadmium battery that powers the monitor. A fully charged battery powers the monitor for approximately 30 days. The solar powered B3000 has a single totalizing pulse output and cannot be powered by a 4-20 mA loop.
Compact Digital Flow Monitor, Model B3000 OPERATING THE MONITOR The monitor has three modes of operation referred to as the Run, Programming, and Extended Programming modes. Communications Indicator Alarm Activation 1 Battery Indicator 2 Rate Rate Units Totalizer Multiplier Total Totalizer Units Figure 13: Display annunciators To access the program mode, momentarily press and then release MENU until the first programming screen is displayed.
Programming Manual Buttons MENU – Switches between normal running and programming modes. UP Arrow (▲) – In programming mode scrolls forward through the parameter choices and increments numeric variables. RIGHT Arrow (►) – In programming mode scrolls backward through the parameter choices and moves the active digit to the right. ENTER – Used to save programming information, advance to the next programming parameter, and in the reset process.
Compact Digital Flow Monitor, Model B3000 Programming Using Frequency Output Turbine Flow Meters Each Blancett 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.
Programming Manual PROGRAMMING PARAMETERS Conventions The individual programming parameters are arranged as follows. Top Line – Indicates what the parameter is and if it is a selection or an entry. Bottom Line – Indicates what menu level the parameter resides in. Select Fluid Type Fluid Basic Function At the Fluid prompt use ▲ or ► to select either Liquid or Gas. NNOTE: The fluid selection choice will affect what menu choices are available to the user.
Compact Digital Flow Monitor, Model B3000 1 2 Roll-Overs Roll-Over Indicator Total Totalizer Mode Figure 17: Grand total Test Test The Test setting places the monitor into a special diagnostic mode that shows the current input frequency and the accumulated input counts. Figure 18 shows the layout for test mode values. The diagnostic mode makes it possible for the user to see precisely the frequency input the monitor is seeing and is very useful in troubleshooting and noise detection.
Programming Manual Select Rate Units Setup Rate SU Extended Function The Rate SU is only available on the standard and solar liquid monitors. For the most basic unit setup choices the B3000 monitor has a simple and advanced setup option accessed through the rate setup parameter. If Simple is selected the rate and total choices are reduced to the five most common combinations avoiding the need to make unit and interval choices.
Compact Digital Flow Monitor, Model B3000 ENTER SPECIFIC GRAVITY VALUE (SPEC GR) Basic Function (activated when mass units are selected) The B3000 has two mass flow unit and two mass total unit choices (pounds and kilograms). When either pounds or kilograms are chosen in either the RateUnt or TotlUnt parameters the Spec Gr entry parameter is activated.
Programming Manual GAS COMPENSATION Gas Turbines Only Fluid measured by the gas turbine meter is compressible, and is also affected by temperature changes and pressure changes as illustrated by the ideal gas law equation. P1V1 P2V2 = T1 T2 Absolute Pressure and Temperature The ideal gas law equation shows that the volume of gas is determined by pressure and temperature applied to the gas under running conditions.
Compact Digital Flow Monitor, Model B3000 Totalizer Pulse Output PulsOut Basic Function The PulsOut parameter can be either enabled or disabled. When enabled, this output generates a fixed width 30 mS duration, pulse every time the least significant digit of the totalizer increments. The amplitude of the pulse is dependent on the voltage level of the supply connected to the pulse output and is limited to a maximum 28V DC. The B3000 provides two types of totalizer pulses.
Programming Manual Flow at 20 mA Fl=20mA Basic Function When the display is operated using loop power, the flow rate that corresponds to 20 mA must be set. This setting normally represents the maximum rate of the flow sensor connected to the display but other entries are possible. At the Fl=20mA prompt, press ENTER. The current setting will begin to flash. If the current setting is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter.
Compact Digital Flow Monitor, Model B3000 Linearization Linear Extended Function Enhanced accuracy can be obtained by linearization of the display. The linearization function accepts 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 ► to advance to the next parameter.

Care should be used when entering these values, especially in critical applications, as it is possible to enter inappropriate values preventing the outputs from working as expected.

To clear the grand total press either ▲ or the ► to change from no to yes. Press ENTER to select yes and advance to the next parameter.

Compact Digital Flow Monitor, Model B3000 K FACTORS EXPLAINED The K factor (with regards to flow) is the number of pulses that must be accumulated to equal a particular volume of fluid. You can think of each pulse as representing a small fraction of the totalizing unit. An example might be a K factor of 1000 (pulses per gallon). This means that if you were counting pulses, when the count total reached 1000, you would have accumulated one gallon of liquid.
Programming Manual Example 3 Known values are: Velocity = Inside Diameter of Pipe = 4.3 ft/sec 3.068 in. Find the area of the pipe cross section. Area = πr2 2 3.068 2 Area = π = π x 2.35 = 7.39 in 2 Find the volume in one foot of travel. 7.39 in2 x 12 in. (1 ft) = 88.71in2 ft What portion of a gallon does one foot of travel represent? 88.71 in3 231 in3 = 0.384 gallons So for every foot of fluid travel 0.384 gallons will pass. What is the flow rate in gpm at 4.3 ft/sec? 0.
