5. INSTALLATION 5.1 Location BA307C and BA308C indicators are housed in robust aluminium enclosures with a polyester front panel and a Noryl bezel. The front of both instruments provide IP65 protection and a gasket seals the joint between the instrument and the panel.
The indicator enclosure may be earthed locally by putting a tag under one of the rear panel corner fixing screws. performance shown instrument Fig 4B BA308C dimensions specification, and copies of the test report are available from BEKA associates.
6. CALIBRATION The BA307C and BA308C will be supplied calibrated as requested at time of ordering. calibration is not requested, the indicator will be set to display 00.0 with 4.000mA input, and 100.0 with 20.000mA input. Both instruments are conditioned and calibrated by plug-in links and two multi-turn potentiometers.
The following adjustments are required: Position Display with 4mA see Fig 7 Input adjustable Step 1 The BA307C is required to display a Between positive zero therefore the suppression 0 to 500 0 and 500 / elevation links should be put in the...

8.5.2 Loop powered backlight This backlight may be connected in series with the 4/20mA measuring circuit so that like the indicator it is loop powered. This eliminates the need for a separate Zener barrier or galvanic isolator and associated wiring backlight, thus significantly reducing the installation cost.
