The B3000 Series flow monitor is a flexible, durable, easy-to-use
platform for your flow metering applications. Our trusted flow
metering technology now offers a new flow monitor with more
options and features than ever before with the B3000 Series.
OPERATION
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, you can select rate units, total units and unit time intervals
among other functions. If required, the flow monitor can easily
be reconfigured in the field. Finally, you can choose between
simultaneously showing rate and total, or alternating between rate
and grand total.
The monitor is available in three 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. The third version is a
solar-powered model (NEMA 4X only).
Packaging options include a polycarbonate, NEMA 4X version and
an aluminum explosion proof enclosure.
APPLICATIONS
The B3000 monitor is suitable for application in a wide variety of
metering needs. A few of the more common industries are:
• Secondary oil recovery applications
• Remediation and reclamation
• Fracture/refracture
• Coal bed methane
• Regulatory compliance and environmental accountability
• Industrial chemicals
• Aggressive chemical processing applications
• Semiconductor manufacturing
• Fertilizer production and dispensing
• Pesticide manufacture
• Liquid batching and water cooling
FEATURES
• Robust alarm parameters provide faster warning when
something changes in the process or pipeline.
• Greater control and greater visibility of batch operations.
• Advanced connectivity options allow you to connect
meters to your network for remote monitoring and process
automation capabilities.
• Solar, battery, and 4…20 milliamperes loop power options
provide the ability to install in a remote location and be up
and running immediately, maintain readings and settings
during power loss, and a battery life up to 8 years.
• Updated display and totalization options provide more flow
information, including simultaneous display of rate and total
as well as standard, batch and grand totals.
• Various mounting and enclosure options provide a B3000
model for your operation.
