The certification information label is fitted on the top surface of the instrument assembly. It shows the ATEX and IECEx certification information and BEKA associates name and location. European certification information may also be shown. The instrument serial number and date of manufacture are recorded on a separate label inside the instrument enclosure.
Fig 2b Loop powered by a galvanic isolator Remote indication All the models may be driven via an intrinsically safe interface from a 4/20mA safe area signal to provide a remote display within a hazardous area. The type of intrinsically safe interface is not critical, either a Zener barrier or a galvanic isolator may be used, providing that Ui, Ii and Pi of the indicator are not exceeded and the voltage capability of the...
INSTALLATION Installation Procedure illustrates instrument installation Location procedure for all models. BA304G and BA324G indicators have a GRP enclosure and BA304G-SS and BA324G-SS A. Remove indicator assembly indicators have a 316 stainless steel enclosure. unscrewing the four captive 'A' screws.
