Compact Digital Flow Monitor, Model B3000
Page 16 March 2014
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. The K factor represents the number of pulses per
unit of volume (see K FACTORS EXPLAINED on page 38). The K factor is required to program the monitor.
Essentials
The B3000 monitor is engineered to provide several levels of programming tailored to the needs of the user. The first or
standard level provides access to the most commonly used setup parameters bypassing the more advanced settings. The first
level programming is entered by pressing and holding MENU for about one second.
The second level or extended settings are accessed by pressing and holding MENU until the extended programming
menu starts.
With the standard and solar liquid monitors there is a third level. For the most basic unit setup choices the B3000 monitor
employes a simple and advanced setup option accessed through the Rate SU 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.
