4. INSTALLATION 4.1 Location The BA554D rate totaliser is housed in a robust IP66 glass reinforced polyester (GRP) enclosure incorporating an armoured glass window and stainless steel fittings. It is suitable for exterior mounting in most industrial environments, including off-shore and waste water treatment.
The BA554D complies with the requirements of the European EMC Directive 89/336/EEC. For specified immunity all wiring should be in screened twisted pairs, with the screens earthed at one point. Additional immunity may be obtained by connecting the BA554D earth terminal to a cable screen.
BA554D uses floating different units. point arithmetic. Moving the position of the decimal point in the rate display will therefore For example, if a BA554D is displaying rate in affect totalisation. litres per minute, setting 'SCALE-t' to 4.5461 produces a total display gallons.
If calibration information is not supplied, the BA554D will be set to display a rate of 0.00 with Enables the zero and span of the 4mA input and 100.00 with 20mA input.
