In addition to the EC-Type Examination Certificate, ITS issued two System Certificates for the BA454D batch controller. One defines how the BA454D may be used with Zener barriers and the other with galvanic isolators. Both are divided into two sections to cover input signal sources in the hazardous and the safe area.
When programmed to operate with a proximity 4.2.2 Pulse inputs detector, the maximum input frequency of the As shown in Figs 3 and 4 the BA454D batch BA454D batch controller is 5kHz. controller may be connected to a wide variety of pulse transducers and sources in the hazardous or safe area.
24V dc power supply via a factory fitted outputs 4, 5 and 6. 330 resistor. WARNING These switch outputs should not be used for critical safety applications. When the BA454D power supply is turned off or disconnected, all BA454D switch outputs will open.
4.3.2 Inputs When the batch controller is powered from a galvanic isolator, the pulse and analogue inputs remain the same as described in sections 4.2.2 and 4.2.3. Only when the input transducer or source is in the safe area, as shown in Fig 7, are galvanic isolators required in the input circuit.

If linked during a buttons, four external switches may be batch, dispensing will continue but the batched connected as shown in Fig 2.
5. INSTALLATION 5.1 Location The BA454D batch controller is housed in a robust IP66 glass reinforced polyester (GRP) enclosure incorporating an armoured glass window and stainless steel fitting. It is suitable exterior mounting most industrial environments, including off-shore and waste water treatment installations.
