Fig 2 illustrates the simplest and least expensive resistance is less than the minimum supply voltage. configuration in which a BA474D is powered from an isolated (floating) power supply. Only one barrier is For the transmitter loop shown in Fig.3 required, as the other wire is earthed at the barrier busbar.
A galvanic isolator can supply a higher voltage than a Zener barrier to a loop powered transmitter and is WARNING able to power a BA474D transmitter fitted with an When used as associated apparatus optional display backlight which has a minimum without Zener barriers or galvanic operating voltage of 15.5V.

The BA474D earth terminal is connected to the carbon loaded GRP enclosure. If this enclosure is not bolted to an earthed post or structure, the earth terminal should be connected to a local earth.
6.4 EMC The BA474D complies with the requirements of the European EMC Directive 2004/108/EC. For specified immunity, all wiring should be in screened twisted pairs with the screens earthed at one point in the safe area.
