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.

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:NThe 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.

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.

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. 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.

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. When
Advanced is selected the monitor allows access to all rate, total, and interval parameters.
Select Flow Rate Units Flo Unit
Basic Function (Simple Setting)
The monitor allows the choice of many common rate units. Consult the MENU MAPS on page 32 or the SPECIFICATIONS on
page 7 for all the unit choices. At the Flo Unit prompt, press ENTER. The monitor now shows the current rate and totalizer
units choice flashing on and off. If the current selection is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter. To change
to an alternate unit, use ▲ or ► to scroll to the required rate unit and press ENTER to save the choice.
Select Rate (Time) Interval RateInt
Basic Function (Advanced Setting)
The term rate implies that something is occurring over a period of time. Most people are familiar with the speed of a car
reported in miles per hour (mph). The same concept holds true for a flow meters based on sensing velocity. The time choices
are Sec (seconds), Min (minutes), Hour (hours), and Day (days). At the Rate Int prompt, press ENTER. The monitor now shows
the current time interval choice flashing on and off. If the current selection is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next
parameter. To change to an alternate time interval, use the use ▲ or ► to scroll to the required time interval and press ENTER
to save the choice.
Select Flow Rate Units RateUnt
Basic Function (Advanced Setting)
The monitor allows the choice of many common rate units. Consult the MENU MAPS on page 32 or the SPECIFICATIONS on
page 7 for all the unit choices At the RateUnt prompt, press ENTER. The monitor now shows the current rate unit choice
flashing on and off. If the current selection is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter. To change to an alternate
unit, use ▲ or ► to scroll to the required rate unit and press ENTER to save the choice.
Select Total Units of Measure TotlUnt
Basic Function (Advanced Setting)
If a flow total is required, the units for the total must first be selected. The monitor allows the choice of many common
totalization units. Consult the MENU MAPS on page 32 or the SPECIFICATIONS on page 7 for all the unit choices. At the TotlUnt prompt, press ENTER. The monitor shows the current total units. If the current selection is correct, press ENTER to
advance to the next parameter. To change to an alternate unit, use ▲ or ► to scroll to the required totalization unit and press
ENTER to save the choice.
Select Total Multiplier TotlMul
Basic Function (Advanced Setting)
The monitor has a very versatile display that has the ability to accumulate the flow total in multiples of ten. For example, if the
most desirable totalization unit is 1000 gallons, the monitor can easily be set up for this requirement. Once the unit is back in
run mode, every time the total display increments by one digit the actual total would be an additional 1000 gallons. At 1000
gallons the total display would read 1, at 3000 gallons the total display would read 3, and so on. This feature eliminates having
to look at a total, count the digits, and mentally insert commas for each 1000 multiple.
At the TotlMul prompt, press ENTER . The monitor now shows the current total multiplier. If the selection is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter. To change to an alternate multiplier, use ▲ or ► to scroll to the required multiplier
unit and press ENTER to save the choice. The multiplier choices: 0.01 (÷ 100), 0.1 (÷ 10), 1, x10, x100, x1000 units
Page 19 March 2014
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.
Mass readings in the B3000 are not temperature or pressure compensated so it is best to enter the specific gravity of the fluid
as close to the system running temperature as possible. As liquids are essentially incompressible pressure compensation is
not necessary for liquids.
Enter a Scale Factor Scale F
Extended Function
The scale factor is used to force a global span change. For example, under operating conditions the display is reading a
consistent three percent below the expected values at all flow rates. Rather than changing the K factor and linearization
parameters individually, the scale factor can be used to compensate for the three percent offset. The scale factor would be set
to 1.03 to correct the readings. The range of scale factors is from 0.10…5.00. The default scale factor is 1.00.
At the Scale F prompt, press ENTER. The first digit of the existing scale factor, if any, will begin to flash. If the current selection
is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter.
If the current selection requires a change, use ▲ to increment the display digit until it matches the first digit of the new scale
factor. Next press ► to advance to the next digit and using ▲ to increment the second display digit until it matches the
second digit of the new scale factor. Repeat this step for the third digit. Press ENTER to save the new scale factor.
OTE:NIf an out of range number is entered the display will flash Limit and refuse to allow the entry.
Preset Total SetTotl
Extended Function
It is sometimes helpful to be able to set the totalizer to a predetermined number before starting a process. The B3000 allows
this through the use of the set total menu entry. The preset is capable of seven digits or up to 8,888,888.
At the SetTotl prompt, press ENTER twice. The first digit of the current preset total will begin to flash. If the current selection is
correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter.
If the current selection requires a change, use ▲ to increment the display digit until it matches the first digit of the required
preset. Next press ► to advance to the next digit and using ▲ to increment the second display digit until it matches the
second digit of the preset. Repeat this step until the preset is complete. Press ENTER to save the new preset.
OTE:NIf an out of range number is entered the display will flash Limit and refuse to allow the entry.
Low Flow Cutoff Cutoff
Extended Function
A low flow cutoff entry is provided to allow low flow rates (that can be present when pumps are off and valves are closed)
to be displayed as zero flow. A typical value would be about five percent of the flow sensors maximum flow. This setting is a
good compromise between suppression of noise and utilizing the full span of the flow sensor.
The low flow cutoff is entered as an actual flow value. For example if the maximum flow rate for the flow sensor was 100 gpm
the low flow cutoff values should be set for five percent of 100 gpm. The entry would then be 5.0.
At the Cutoff prompt, press ENTER. The first digit of the current low flow cutoff will begin to flash. If the current selection is
correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter.
If the current selection requires a change, use ▲ to increment the display digit until it matches the first digit of the required
low flow cutoff value. Next press ► to advance to the next digit and using ▲ to increment the second display digit until it
matches the second digit of the preset. Repeat this step until the low flow cutoff is entered. Press ENTER to save the new low
flow cutoff.
OTE:NIf an out of range number is entered the display will flash Limit and refuse to allow the entry.

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.
PV

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. In this equation, the pressure, P, is absolute pressure the observed gauge pressure plus the atmospheric
pressure. The commonly used domestic unit of measure for absolute pressure is pounds per square inch absolute (psia).
Atmospheric pressure is considered to be 14.73 psi. Therefore, absolute pressure (psia) is the sum of the gage
pressure plus 14.73.
The absolute temperature in the equation above is expressed in degrees Rankine, which is calculated by adding 459.67 to the
temperature in ° F.
Because pressure and temperature have a large impact on the mass of gas moving through the flow meter both values must
be entered into the B3000 for accurate gas readings to occur.
OTE:NThe B3000 calculates the correct pressure and temperature values without having to convert to absolute pressure or
degrees Rankine. The compensation values should be entered in psig and ° F.
Operating Pressure Op Pres
Basic Function (Gas Only)
At the Op Pres prompt, press ENTER. The first digit of the current pressure setting begins to flash.
If the current selection requires a change, use ▲ to increment the display digit until it matches the first digit of the required
pressure value. Next press ► to advance to the next digit and using ▲ to increment the second display digit until it matches
the second digit of the operating pressure. When the correct pressure setting has been entered, press ENTER to save the new
pressure value.

Operating Temperature Op Temp
Basic Function (Gas Only)
At the Op Temp prompt, press ENTER. The first digit of the current temperature setting begins to flash.
If the current selection requires a change, use ▲ to increment the display digit until it matches the first digit of the required
temperature value. Next press ► to advance to the next digit and using ▲ to increment the second display digit until it
matches the second digit of the operating temperature. When the correct pressure setting has been entered, press ENTER to
save the new temperature value.
Damping Factor Damping
Extended Function
The damping factor is increased to enhance the stability of the flow readings. Damping values are decreased to allow the

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. The basic open drain FET output, Figure 19 and Figure 20, provides a ground
referenced output pulse that swings between about 0.7V DC and VCC.

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. If the current setting requires a change, use ▲ to increment the display digit until it matches
the first digit of the required maximum flow value. Next press
► to advance to the next digit and using ▲ to increment the
second display digit until it matches the second digit of the
required value. Repeat this step until the maximum flow at 20
mA is entered. Press ENTER to save the new flow value.
4-20 mA Calibration 4-20Cal
Extended Function
This menu item allows the fine adjustment of the Digital to
Analog Converter (DAC) that controls 4-20 mA output. The
4-20 mA output is calibrated at the factory and under most
circumstances does not need to be adjusted. If the output needs
to be adjusted for any reason the 4-20 mA calibration procedure
is used.
The DAC used in the B3000 is an twelve bit device so the valid
entries range from 0…4095.
4 mA Adjustment 4mA Out
To set the 4 mA value, connect an ammeter in series with the loop
power supply as shown in Figure 23. At the 4-20Cal prompt, press ENTER.
The display will now show a steady NO indication. Press ▲ to change to
a YES display and press ENTER. The 4 mA DAC setting is typically between
35…50. Using ▲ and ► while monitoring the ammeter, adjust the 4 mA value
to obtain a 4 mA reading on the ammeter. The ▲ increases the DAC value and ► decreases the DAC value. When a steady 4 mA reading is obtained on
the ammeter, press ENTER to lock in this value and move to the 20 mA adjustment.
Figure 23: 4-20 mA calibration setup
20 mA Adjustment 20mAOut
The 20 mA adjustment is performed using the same procedure as the 4 mA adjustment. While monitoring the ammeter,
adjust the 20 mA DAC value to obtain a 20 mA reading. The ▲ increases the DAC value and ► decreases the DAC value.
When a steady 20 mA reading is obtained on the ammeter, press ENTER to lock in this value and move to the next parameter.
4-20 mA Test 4-20Tst
The B3000 monitor contains a diagnostic routine that allows the simulation of mA output values between 4…20 to check
output tracking. At the 4-20 TEST prompt the current is shown as a flashing number. Use ▲ to increase the simulated mA
output in increments of 1 mA. The ► decreases the mA output. The ammeter should track the simulated mA output. If a
4-20 mA test is not necessary, press ENTER to move to the next parameter.
OTE:NPressing ENTER when the monitor is in test mode will exit the test mode and move on to the next
programming parameter.
Page 23 March 2014
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. The maximum number of linearization points is ten.
Number of Points
At the Linear prompt, press ENTER. The Lin Pts value will be displayed. If the number of points is set to 0, linearization is
disabled. Press ENTER and the most significant digit of the number of points entry begins to flash. The first number can either
be a 1 or a 0 only. Use ▲ to change the first digit. Press ► to move to the least significant digit.
OTE:NIf a number other than 0 or 1 is entered in this field the display will flash Limit indicating that an over range is entered
when ENTER is pressed.
Again, ▲ increments the value. When the number of points is input, press ENTER to move to the first linear points
frequency entry.
Data Entry
OTE:NIf the number of linear points is set to 1 the B3000 assumes the user is entering the maximum frequency and
coefficient. Further, the meter assumes that the implied first point is at a frequency of 0 Hz and a coefficient of 0.
Frequency
Press ENTER and the first linear point’s frequency input Freq#1 begins to flash. Enter the frequency for the first linear point
using ▲to increment the numerical values and ► to change the position of the number being entered. When the
frequency value input is complete, press ENTER to change to the coefficient value Coef#1 for the first linear point.
Coefficient
The coefficient is the value applied to the nominal K factor to correct it to the exact K factor for that point. The coefficient is
calculated by dividing the actual K factor for that point by the Average (nominal) K factor for the flow meter.
Linear Coecient =
Actual K Factor
Nominal K Factor
At the Coef#1 prompt, enter the coefficient that corresponds to the frequency value previously entered. Press ENTER to move
to the scaling point.
Continue entering pairs of frequency and coefficient points until all data has been entered. Press ENTER to move to the
next parameter.
OTE:NThe frequency values must be entered in ascending order. If a lower frequency value is entered after a higher value
the B3000 flash Limit followed by the minimum frequency value acceptable to the display.

Modbus Modbus
Extended Function
The Modbus output parameter can be either enabled or disabled. When enabled, this output allows communications with the
B3000 using the Modbus RTU protocol. For additional information see MODBUS INTERFACE on page 45.
At the Modbus prompt, press ENTER. The current state of the Modbus output is shown. If the current state is correct, press
ENTER to advance to the next parameter.
If the current state requires a change, use either ▲ or► to toggle between state. When the proper state has been selected
press ENTER.
Bus Address BusAddr
If the Modbus output is enabled a valid Modbus address must also be chosen. Every device communicating over the RS485
communications bus using the Modbus protocol must have a unique bus address. Address values range from 0…127 with 0
being the default.
At the BusAddr prompt, press ENTER. The current setting begins to flash. If the current setting is correct, press ENTER to
advance to the next parameter.
If the current setting requires a change, use ▲ to increment the display digit until it matches the first digit of the required bus
address. Next press ► to advance to the next digit and using ▲ to increment the second digit until it matches the second
digit of the required address. Repeat this step for the third digit of the address and then press ENTER to save the new address
and advance to the next parameter.
Set Points
Set points allow the meter to signal when a specific flow condition has been achieved. They are commonly used to indicate
high or low flow conditions that need to be attended to. The B3000 has two open collector outputs controlled by the set
point function.
The set point transistors have the same current limitations and setup requirements as the totalizing pulse output transistors
described previously (see Figure 23 and Figure 24).
Both set point one and set point two are configured using the same procedures but the hysteresis and tripping conditions are
independently set for each set point output.
OTE:NIn most instances the current capacity of an open collector transistor is not sufficient to operate old style counters
that relied on relay contact closures. When used with basic counting circuits a solid state relay is likely to be needed.

At the SetPt 1 prompt, press ENTER. The most significant digit of the current setting begins to flash. If the current setting is
correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter.
If the current setting requires a change, press ► to advance to the first digit of the required set point value. Once the correct
place is reached use ▲ to increment the digit until it matches the first number of the required set point. Use ► to advance to
the next digit of the required set point value then use ▲to increment the display digit until it matches the next digit of the
required set point. Repeat this step for the all the digits of the set point and then press ENTER to save the new set point and
advance to the next parameter.
Hysteresis 1 HystSP1
Extended Function
Hysteresis is used to modify how the output transistor reacts around a set point by taking recent history into account.
Hysteresis prevents an output from turning on and off rapidly when the programed flow rate is at or very near the set point.
For example, a low flow alarm is set to activate when the flow falls below a pre programed point. When the flow is reduced to
the set point, even minute changes of flow above the set point turns the output off disabling the alarm. Without hysteresis, if
the flow rate fluctuates slightly above and below the set point the output rapidly cycle between on and off states.
Another example is a thermostat controlling a heater. The thermostat turns the heater on when the temperature drops below
“A” degrees, but won’t turn it off until the temperature rises above “B” degrees. The temperature between “A” and “B” is know as
the hysteresis. Thus the on/off output of the thermostat to the heater when the temperature is between “A” and “B” depends
on the “history” of the temperature. This prevents rapid switching on and off as the temperature drifts around the set point.
Refer to the graphical representation of the hysteresis setting as shown in Figure 26. The hysteresis value is set using the same
units as the rate units are entered.
At the HystSP1 prompt, press ENTER. The most significant digit of the current setting begins to flash. If the current setting is
correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter.
If the current setting requires a change, press ► to advance to the first digit of the required hysteresis value. Once the correct
place is reached use ▲ to increment the digit until it matches the first number of the required hysteresis. Use ► to advance
to the next digit of the required hysteresis value then use ▲ to increment the display digit until it matches the next digit of
the required hysteresis. Repeat this step for the all the digits of the hysteresis and then press ENTER to save the new hysteresis
and advance to the next parameter.

Figure 26: Set point actions
OTE:NNeither the set point nor the hysteresis values are checked against the meter size to see if they are appropriate. 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.
Trip SP 1 TripSP1
Extended Function
The trip parameter can be set for either High or Lo. When set to high the open collector transistor stops conducting and
sends the output high when the set point is reached. The output will not go low again until the flow rate falls below the
set point minus the hysteresis value. Similarly when set to low the, open collector transistor starts conducting sending the
output low when the set point is reached. The output will not go high again until the flow rate exceeds the set point plus the
hysteresis value.
For example if the set point is set to ten gpm, the hysteresis is set to two gpm and the trip set point is set to high (see Figure
27). When the flow goes above ten gpm the OC transistor stops conducting and the output goes high. The output stays high
until the flow rate drops below eight gpm which is the set point (ten gpm) minus the hysteresis (two gpm).

Password Passwd
Basic Function
Password protection prevents unauthorized users from changing programming information. Initially, the password is set to
all zeros. If the current setting requires a change, press ENTER at the Passwd prompt. The first digit of the password begins to
flash. Use ▲ to increment the digit until it matches the first number of the required password. Use ► to advance to the next

password. Repeat this step for the all the digits of the password and then press ENTER to save the new password and advance
to the next parameter.
Reset Password RstPswd
Basic Function
Reset password parameter prevents unauthorized users from manually resetting the flow monitor’s main totalizer. Initially, the
password is set to all zeros. To change the reset password, press ENTER at the RstPswd prompt. The first digit of the password
begins to flash. Use ▲ to increment the digit until it matches the first number of the required password. Use ► to advance to
the next digit of the required password value then use ▲ to increment the display digit until it matches the next digit of the
required password. Repeat this step for the all the digits of the password and then press ENTER to save the new password and
advance to the next parameter.
OTE:NEntering a password in the Passwd screen and leaving the password blank in the RstPswd screen allows for total resets
(not requiring a password), but restricts programming modification.

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. Using the same reasoning, each individual pulse represents
an accumulation of 1/1000 of a gallon. This relationship is independent of the time it takes to accumulate the counts.
The frequency aspect of K factors is a little more confusing because it also involves the flow rate. The same K factor number,
with a time frame added, can be converted into a flow rate. If you accumulated 1000 counts (one gallon) in one minute, then
your flow rate would be one gpm. The output frequency, in Hz, is found simply by dividing the number of counts (1000) by
the number of seconds in a minute (60) to get the output frequency.
1000 ÷ 60 = 16.6666 Hz. If you were looking at the pulse output on a frequency counter, an output frequency of 16.666
Hz would be equal to one gpm. If the frequency counter registered 33.333 Hz (2 × 16.666 Hz), then the flow rate would be
two gpm.
Finally, if the flow rate is two gpm, then the accumulation of 1000 counts would take place in 30 seconds because the flow
rate, and hence the speed that the 1000 counts is accumulated, is twice as great.
Calculating K factors
Many styles of flow meters are capable of measuring flow in a wide range of pipe sizes. Because the pipe size and volumetric
units the meter will be used on vary, it may not possible to provide a discrete K factor. In the event that a discrete K factor is
not supplied then the velocity range of the meter is usually provided along with a maximum frequency output.
The most basic K factor calculation requires that an accurate flow rate and the output frequency associated with that flow
rate be known.
Example 1
Known values are:
Frequency = 700 Hz
Flow Rate = 48 gpm
700 Hz × 60 sec = 42,000 pulses per min
K factor
Example 2
Known values are:
Full Scale Flow Rate = 85 gpm
Full Scale Output Frequency = 650 Hz
650 Hz × 60 sec = 39,000 pulses per min
K factor
The calculation is a little more complex if velocity is used because you first must convert the velocity into a volumetric flow
rate to be able to compute a K factor.
To convert a velocity into a volumetric flow, the velocity measurement and an accurate measurement of the inside diameter
of the pipe must be known. Also needed is the fact that one US gallon of liquid is equal to 231 cubic inches.

What portion of a gallon does one foot of travel represent?
231 in

= 0.384 gallons

88.71 in
So for every foot of fluid travel 0.384 gallons will pass.
Now that the volumetric flow rate is known, all that is needed is an output frequency to determine the K factor.
Known values are:
Frequency = 700 Hz (By measurement)
Flow Rate = 99.1 gpm (By calculation)
700 Hz × 60 sec = 42,000 pulses per gallon

MODBUS INTERFACE
A subset of the standard Modbus commands is implemented to provide access into the data and status of the B3000 Monitor.
This feature is available on the B3000 Advanced models only. The following Modbus commands are implemented:

03Read Holding Registers
05Force Single Coil

Long Integer3242
Single Precision IEEE754 3242
Table 8: Available data formats
Modbus Register / Word Ordering
Each Modbus Holding Register represents a 16-bit integer value (2 bytes). The official Modbus standard defines Modbus as a
‘big-endian’ protocol where the most significant byte of a 16-bit value is sent before the least significant byte. For example,
the 16-bit hex value of ‘1234’ is transferred as ‘12’ ‘34’.
Beyond 16-bit values, the protocol itself does not specify how 32-bit (or larger) numbers that span over multiple registers
should be handled. It is very common to transfer 32-bit values as pairs of two consecutive 16-bit registers in little-endian word
order. For example, the 32-bit hex value of ‘12345678’ is transferred as ‘56’ ‘78’ ‘12’ ‘34’. Notice the Register Bytes are still sent in
big-endian order per the Modbus protocol, but the Registers are sent in little-endian order.
Other manufactures, store and transfer the Modbus Registers in big-endian word order. For example, the 32-bit hex value of
‘12345678’ is transferred as ‘12’ ‘34’ ‘56’ ‘78’. It doesn’t matter which order the words are sent, as long as the receiving device
knows which way to expect it. Since it’s a common problem between devices regarding word order, many Modbus master
devices have a configuration setting for interpreting data (over multiple registers) as ‘little-endian’ or ‘big-endian’ word order.
This is also referred to as swapped or word swapped values and allows the master device to work with slave devices from
different manufactures.
If, however, the endianness is not a configurable option within the Modbus master device, it’s important to make sure it
matches the slave endianess for proper data interpretation. The B3000 actually provides two Modbus Register maps to
accommodate both formats. This is useful in applications where the Modbus Master cannot be configured for endianness.
This opcode sets the state of a single coil (digital output). The following Coil Registers are defined:
Coil #Description
1Reset Totalizer
2Grand Totals
3 and upSpares
Table 13: Force single coil
The transition of coil from 0 to 1 will initiate function. This bit is auto reset to 0, so there is no need to set it to 0 after a totalizer
reset command.
unsigned short calculate_crc(const unsigned char *pv, int size)
{
unsigned short crc = 0xFFFF;
for ( ;size-- ; pv++)
{
crc = (crc >> 8) ^ crc_table[(crc ^ *pv) & 0xFF];
}
return crc;
