INTOODUCTION

The B2800XP flow monitor is a state-of-the-art digital signal processing flow monitor designed to provide the user with 

exceptional flexibility at a very affordable price  Though designed for use with Blancett flow meters, this display can be used 

with almost any flow meter producing a low amplitude AC output or contact closure signals 
The B2800XP flow monitor is capable of accepting a low level frequency input for calculating flow rate and total  These 

calculations can then be displayed in the desired units of measurement  The monitor’s large eight digit by 0 50 inch (12 7 

mm) numeric liquid crystal display makes extended range viewing practical  The second eight digit by 0 25 inch (6 35 mm) 

alphanumeric display provides for selectable units viewing in run mode and prompts for variables in program mode  The 

display can show rate, total or alternate between both rate and total
