You should only enter this section of the programme if you are sure that you want to carry out this calibration. By following the notes in this manual you should be able to set up your BA574C without any problem. If you do run into difficulties however Section 8 (Maintenance) provides some guidance on typical problems you may find during commissioning.

3. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DESIGN 4. INSTALLATION A BA574C indicating transmitter will operate from any dc voltage between 10 and 30V. When 4.1 Location designing a loop it is therefore necessary to ensure The BA574C indicating transmitter can be supplied that the voltage between terminals 5 & 6 in either a glass reinforced polyester (GRP), or an between 10 and 30V at all output currents.
4.2 Installation Procedure 4.3 EMC illustrates instrument installation The BA574C complies with the requirements of the procedure. European EMC Directive 2004/108/EEC. specified immunity all wiring should be in screened a. Remove the enclosure cover by unscrewing twisted pairs. the four captive 'A' screws.
