INTRODUCTION

The FTB–1400 Flow Monitor is a state-of-the-art, digital signal processing
ow monitor, designed to provide the user with exceptional exibility at a
very aordable price. Though designed for use with Omega FTB–1400 ow
meters, this display can be used with almost any ow meter producing a
low amplitude AC output or contact closure signal(s).

This ow monitor is capable of accepting a low-level frequency input for
calculating ow rate and total. These calculations can then be displayed
in the desired units of measurement. All FTB–1400 ow monitors come
pre-calibrated, from the factory, if ordered with an Omega FTB–1400 Flow
Meter. If required, however, it can easily be re-congured in the eld. The
monitor’s large 8 digit by .75" numeric liquid crystal display makes extend­ed range viewing practical. The second 8 digit by .38" alphanumeric display
provides for selectable units viewing in run mode and prompts for vari­ables in program mode. Finally, the user can choose between displaying
rate, total, or alternating between both rate and total.

OPERATING THE MONITOR

The monitor has two modes of operation referred to as the RUN mode and
the PROGRAM mode. Both the run mode and the program mode display
screen enunciators conrming the state of the monitor. A quick glance at
the lower left hand corner of the LCD screen will conrm operating status.
Normal operation will be in the RUN mode. To access the program mode,
press the MENU button until the rst programming screen is displayed.
After programming the display with the necessary information, a lock out
feature can be turned on to prevent unauthorized access or changing the
meter’s setup parameters.

BASIC PROGRAMMING MODE

Keys:

MENU – Switch between RUN and PROGRAM modes

UP Arrow – Scrolls through programming sub-menus in forward

direction and increments numeric variables

RIGHT Arrow – Scrolls through programming sub-menus in reverse
direction and moves the active digit to the right

ENTER – Used to enter sub-menus, save programming information
and in the reset process

If your monitor was ordered with an Omega ow meter, the two compo­nents ship from the factory calibrated as a set. If the monitor is a replace­ment, the turbine’s K-factor has changed, or the monitor is being used with
some other pulse generating device, programming will be necessary.

PROGRAMMING

Each turbine ow 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. K-factor information, when supplied, can usually be
found on the neck of the ow meter or stamped on the body. The K-factor
represents the number of pulses per unit of volume. The K-factor will be
needed to program the monitor.

ENTER PROGRAM MODE – Change to program mode by press­ing the MENU button once. The mode indicator will change from
RUN to PROGRAM.

7

NOTE: If any input value exceeds the meter's capabilities for that particular
parameter, the LIMIT indicator will begin to ash indicating an invalid entry.
Press ENTER once to return to the parameter’s entry screen to reenter the
value.

SELECT THE METER SIZE – At the METER prompt, press the ENTER but­ton once. The current meter size number will begin to ash. Using the
arrow keys, scroll through the size choices until you nd the bore size of
your meter. Press ENTER once to save the meter size choice.

NOTE: The meter connection size and the bore size are dierent. For example,
many of the 1” NPT turbines have bore sizes that range from 3⁄8” up to 1”. Be
sure to use the correct bore size or the meter will report incorrect ows and
totals.

ENTER THE METER’S K-FACTOR UNIT – Directly after the METER size is
selected, the display’s K-factor unit must be chosen. Use the UP arrow
key to select your K-factor unit. For meters calibrated in gallons, use
PUL/GAL (pulses per gallon); for meters calibrated in cubic meters, use
PUL/M3 (pulses per cubic meter), etc. Press ENTER to save the K-factor
unit and advance to the next parameter.

NOTE: Unless otherwise specied, Omega turbine ow meters are supplied
with K-factors measured in pulses per gallon (PUL/GAL) which will
automatically convert to your desired units of measure.

NOTE: The K-factor supplied with the meter or calculated from calibration
data will be needed to complete the next step..

SELECT THE RATE/TOTAL UNITS OF MEASURE – The monitor allows
the choice of ve common rate/total units. The monitor shows the rate/
total unit that the display is currently set for. If the current selection is
correct, press the ENTER key once to advance to the next parameter. To
change to an alternate unit, use the arrow keys to scroll to the desired
rate unit and press ENTER to save the choice.

Selection Rate Total

GPM/GAL Gallons per Minute Gallons

LPM/LIT Liters per Minute Liters

M3PH/M3 Cubic Meters per Hour Cubic Meters

M3PD/M3 Cubic Meters per Day Cubic Meters

BPD/BBL Oil Barrels per Day Oil Barrels

NOTE: The total unit’s output multiplier cannot be modied in the Simplied
program level. This option is reserved in the Advanced program level.

SELECT THE DISPLAY FUNCTION – The monitor can display RATE or TOTAL
or alternate between BOTH rate and total. At the DISPLAY prompt, press
the ENTER key once. The monitor now shows the display mode currently
in eect. If the current selection is correct, press the ENTER key to advance
to the next parameter. To change to an alternate display mode, use the ar­row keys to scroll to the desired display mode and press ENTER to save the
choice.

A TEST function is also available in the Display Function sub-menu. With
the test function selected, the display acts like a frequency counter and
displays the raw input frequency being supplied to the frequency input
terminals. This is very useful when troubleshooting ow problems.

9

TOTALIZER PULSE OUTPUT – The pulse output parameter can be either
enabled or disabled. When enabled this output generates 20 mS duration
pulse for every time the least signicant 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 30 VDC.

FTB1400 SIMPLIFIED 420 MA PROGRAMMING

FLOW 4mA SETTING – When the loop powered option is ordered, the

ow rate that corresponds to 4mA must be set. Zero is default ow rate
for this setting. If the current selection is correct, press the ENTER key
once to advance to the next parameter. If adjustment is required, use
the RIGHT arrow key to select the position of the number you wish to
change. Then use the UP arrow key to increment the number. Once you
have completed this step, press the ENTER key to advance to the next
parameter.

FLOW 20mA SETTING – The ow rate that corresponds to 20mA must
be set next. The turbine meter’s maximum ow rate is the default value.
If the current selection is correct, press the ENTER key once to advance
to the next parameter. If adjustment is required, use the RIGHT arrow
key to select the position of the number you wish to change. Then use
the UP arrow key to increment the number. Once you have completed
this step, press the ENTER key to advance to the next parameter.

4-20mA CALIBRATION – When ordered with a 4-20mA option, this
menu item allows the ne adjustment of the 4-20mA output. The 4mA
setting is typically between 35 and 50. To set the 4mA value, connect
an ammeter in series with the loop power supply. At the 4mA OUT
prompt, adjust the 4mA value to obtain a 4mA reading on the amme­ter. The UP arrow key increments the value and the RIGHT arrow key
decrements the value. When a steady 4mA reading is obtained on the
ammeter, press the ENTER key to lock in this value and move to the
20mA adjustment. The 20mA adjustment is performed using the same
procedure as the 4mA adjustment.

4-20mA TEST – The monitor contains a diagnostic routine that allows
the simulation of mA values between 4 and 20 to check output track­ing. At the 4-20TEST prompt the arrow keys change the simulated mA
output in increments of 1mA. The ammeter should track the simulated
mA output. If a 4-20mA test in not necessary, pressing the ENTER key
once will escape the testing at any time.

PASSWORD – Password protection prevents unauthorized users from
changing programming information. Initially, the password is set to all ze­ros. To change the password, simply enter any 4 digit code using the arrow
keys as previously described to enter the password value. Pressing ENTER
once will store the password and take you back to the RST PSWD screen.

NOTE: This password will allow the operator to manually reset totals.

RST PSWD – The reset password screen allows the operator to enter any 4
digit code for the manual reset totals function.

RESET TOTAL – To reset the monitor total display, in RUN mode press the
MENU and ENTER simultaneously until TOTAL RST starts to ash. The TOTAL
RST will stop ashing and the display will return to the RUN mode at the
conclusion of the reset procedure.

STORE TOTAL – The current total can be manually stored in the monitor’s
ash memory. Press and hold the ENTER key for 2 seconds. The display will
respond with a ashing TOTALSVD and then return to the RUN mode.

AUTOMATIC STORE TOTAL – The monitor is equipped with a store total
feature that works automatically, saving the current total to ash memory.
The frequency of saves depends on the power supply option chosen.

ADDITIONAL INPUT OPTIONS

The FTB–1400 Flow Monitor is capable of receiving magnetic pick-up input
(small signal sine wave) or a contact closure input (pulse). Since Omega
FTB–1400 Flow Meters utilize a magnetic pick-up, the monitor is shipped
congured for magnetic pick-up input. To change to a contact closure in­put, remove JP2 from the top two pins and jumper them to the bottom two
pins. See Figure 4.
