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.

This monitor is capable of accepting low-level frequency input signals typically found in turbine flow sensors. The output
signal for these type of sensors is a frequency proportional to the rate of flow. The B3000 monitor uses the frequency
information to calculate flow rate and total flow. Through the use of the programming buttons the user can select rate units,
total units and unit time intervals among other functions. All B3000 flow monitors come pre-configured from the factory, if
ordered with a Blancett flow sensor. If required, however, it can easily be re-configured in the field. Finally, the user can choose
between simultaneously showing rate and total, or alternating between rate and grand total.
The monitor is available in two different levels of functionality and two packaging options. The base model provides all
the functions necessary for the most common flow metering applications. The advanced version adds communications
capabilities over an RS485 bus using Modbus RTU and control outputs. Completing the line is a solar powered model
(NEMA 4X Only).
Packaging options include a polycarbonate, NEMA 4X version and an aluminum explosion proof enclosure.

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.
The B3000 monitor has two jumpers that are used to set the type of signal and the minimum amplitude of the signal that it
accepts. The first thing to established is the type of output provided by the flow sensor. The outputs almost always fall into
one of two types.
Type 1 – This is the unaltered frequency signal coming from an un-amplified magnetic pickup. This signal is
normally a sine wave in appearance and the amplitude of the waveform varies with the flow. Small turbines have
comparatively small rotating masses so they produce a smaller amplitude waveform and higher frequencies than
larger turbine sensors.
Type 2 – The frequency signal from the transducer is amplified, wave shaped or both to produce a waveform of a
specified type and amplitude. Most amplified transducers output a square wave shape at one of many standard
amplitudes. For example a popular amplified output is a 10V DC square wave.
If the flow sensors output signal is type 1, the minimum amplitude of the frequency output must also be determined. The
B3000 has a high or low signal sensitivity setting. High signal sensitivity (30 mV) is used with low amplitude (usually small)
turbine flow sensors. The low signal sensitivity setting (60 mV) is typically used for larger turbines and amplified transducers
(see Figure 3 and Figure 4).
OTE:N The high signal sensitivity setting is used where the minimum signal amplitude is below 60 mV. Setting the sensitivity
lower than necessary opens the instrument up to a greater possibility of noise interference.

Once the type of waveform and input signal level (amplitude) are determined the jumpers on the B3000 circuit board are set.
For typical variable reluctance magnetic pickups the waveform selection jumper should be set for Mag. The setting for
the input level must be determined from looking at the magnetic pickup specifications. If the minimum amplitude at the
minimum rated flow is greater than 60 mV use the low signal sensitivity jumper position (see Figure 3 and Figure 4).
If the minimum signal level is below 60 mV use the high signal sensitivity jumper position.
Again all B3000 flow monitors come pre-configured from the factory, if ordered with a Blancett flow sensor.

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. The B30L/M/W/ versions use loop power only and the B30S uses solar power only.

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.

To access the program mode, momentarily press and then release MENU until the first programming screen is displayed. The
extended programming mode is entered by pressing and holding MENU until the first programming option appears. After
programming the display with the necessary information, a lock out feature is available to prevent unauthorized access or
changing of the meter’s setup parameters.

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.
TOTAL FLOW RESET – This touch sensor button allows the total to be reset without opening up the case. This button
pertains to the explosion proof version only.
OTE:N The “through the glass” touch sensor button is currently under development in the explosion proof version
of the B3000.
Special Functions
MENU + ENTER – Simultaneously press and hold to reset the current totalizer.
MENU - Press and hold menu for three seconds to enter extended programming mode.
UP Arrow (▲) + Right Arrow (►) – Simultaneously press and hold to show the firmware version number, then the
grand total.
UP Arrow (▲) – In run mode increases display contrast.
RIGHT Arrow (►) – In run mode decreases display contrast.
Modes
RUN – Normal operating mode.
PROGRAM – Used to program variables into the display.
EXTENDED PROGRAM – Used to program advanced variables into the display.
TEST – Used as a diagnostic tool to show input frequency and totalizer counts.
If your monitor was ordered with a Blancett flow meter, the two components ship from the factory configured as a set. If the
monitor is a replacement, the turbine’s K factor changed, or the monitor is used with some other pulse generating device;
programming is necessary.

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.
Liquid Meters Standard Solar Advanced I/O
Basic Functions Press MENU for about one second and then release.
Extended Functions Press and hold MENU until the extended programming menu starts.
Simple Setup Select Rate SU in the extended functions and choose Simple.
Advanced Setup Select Rate SU in the extended functions and choose Advanced.
