Badger Meter B2800 - Manual (Page 11)

At the METER prompt, press UP or RIGHT arrows to select the bore size of your meter Press ENTER to save meter size choice
and advance to the K factor units selection
OTEE: N The meter connection size and the bore size are different For example, many of the 1 inch NPT turbines have bore
sizes that range from 3⁄8 inch up to 1 inch Be sure to use the correct bore size or the meter could report incorrect
flows and totals
Enter K Factor Unit
Directly after the METER size is selected, the display's K factor unit must be chosen Use the UP arrow to select the 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) and so forth Press ENTER to save the K factor unit and advance to the next parameter
OTEE: N Unless otherwise specified, turbine flow meters are supplied with K factors measured in pulses per gallon (PUL/GAL),
which will automatically convert to your desired units of measure
OTEE: N The K factor supplied with the meter or calculated from calibration data will be needed to complete the next step
Enter Meter's K Factor
To change the K FACTOR value, use the RIGHT arrow and select the position of the number to be changed Using the UP
arrow, increment the display digit until it matches the meter’s K factor digit Repeat this process until all K factor digits have
been entered Press ENTER to save the K factor and advance to the RATE/TOTAL unit selection
Select Rate/Total Units of Measure
The monitor allows the choice of five common rate/total units The monitor indicates the rate/total unit of measure the
display is currently set for If the current selection is correct, press ENTER 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
OTEE: N The total unit’s output multiplier cannot be modified in the simplified program level
Select Display Function
The monitor can display RATE or TOTAL or alternate between BOTH rate and total If the current selection is correct, press
ENTER 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 submenu 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 flow problems
Totalizer Pulse Output
The pulse output parameter can be either enabled or disabled When enabled this output generates 20 mS duration pulse
every time the least significant digit of the totalizer increments (20 Hz maximum) 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 30V DC
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 four digit code using the arrows as previously described to enter the
password value Pressing ENTER will store the password and take you back to the RST PSWD screen
OTEE: N This password will allow users to reset totals
