Controls APPLICATIONS The BA526C is controlled and calibrated via four front panel push-button switches. In the display Transmitter loops mode i.e. when the instrument is displaying a A BA526C indicator may be connected in series 4/20mA input current, these switches have the...
Remote indication INSTALLATION A BA526C may be driven from any 4/20mA signal to provide a remote indication. Fig 3 shows a Location typical application in which the output from a gas The BA526C indicator is housed in a robust analyser drives a BA526C.
Installation Procedure illustrates instrument installation The BA526C complies with the requirements of the procedure. European EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. specified immunity all wiring should be in screened a. Insert the BA526C into the instrument panel twisted pairs, with the screens earthed at only one from the front of the panel.
