Badger Meter B2800 - Manual (Page 9)

Select Units of Measure
If a flow amount is desirable, the units for the total must first be chosen The monitor allows the choice of many common
totalization units (See the SPECIFICATIONS on page 6 for a complete listing of the unit choices ) At the TOTAL UNT prompt,
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 the arrow keys to scroll to the desired totalization unit and press ENTER to save
the choice
OTEE: N This unit of measure does not have to reflect the rate unit you have previously chosen
Example: Rate Units = Gallons, Total Units = Barrels
Select Total's Display Multiplier
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 TOTL MUL prompt, press ENTER The monitor now shows the current total multiplier If the current selection is correct,
press ENTER to advance to the next parameter To change to an alternate multiplier, use the arrow keys to scroll to the desired
multiplier unit and press ENTER to save the choice
Multiplier Choices are 0 01, 0 1, 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, 100,000 and 1,000,000 units
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 Unit
At the KFAC UNT prompt, press ENTER The display now shows the current K factor unit If the current selection is correct, press
ENTER to advance to the next parameter For meters calibrated in gallons, use PUL/GAL; for meters calibrated in cubic meters,
use PUL/M3 or any other unit choice
Scale Factor
At the SCALE F prompt, press ENTER The current scale factor will begin to flash If the current selection is correct, press
ENTER to advance to the next parameter The scale factor is used to force a global change to all variables For example, under
operating conditions the display is reading a consistent three percent below the expected values at all flow rates Rather than
changing all 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 5…1 5 The default scale factor is 1 0
Meter Type
At the METERTYP prompt, press ENTER The current meter type will be displayed as Liquid or Gas If the current selection
is correct, press ENTER to advance to the next parameter If Gas is selected, operating pressure (psig) and operating
temperature (° F) must be entered before advancing to the next parameter
OTEE: N The 4-20 mA zero and span values are not factory set
Damping Factor
At the DAMPING prompt, press ENTER The current damping setting will begin to flash If the current selection is correct,
press ENTER to advance to the next parameter The damping factor is increased to enhance the stability of the flow readings
Damping values are decreased to allow the flow meter to react faster to changing values of flow This parameter can take on
any value between 0…99 with 0 being the default
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 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 30V DC
