1. DESCRIPTION The BA304ND is an Ex nL certified loop powered digital indicator which displays the current flowing in a 4/20mA loop in engineering units. The instrument introduces less than a 1.1V drop which allows it to be installed into almost any 4/20mA current loop.
Installed in a Zone 2 hazardous area Fig 2 illustrates a typical application in which a Used at ambient temperatures between BA304ND indicator is connected in series with a 2- -20 and +60°C wire transmitter and controller. Used with gases in groups:...
Terminals 2 and 4 are internally joined from a gas analyser drives a BA304ND. Again it is and may be used for linking the return 4/20mA wire necessary to ensure that the loop complies with - see Fig 2.
5.2 Installation Procedure 5.3 EMC illustrates instrument installation The BA304ND complies with the requirements of procedure. the European EMC Directive 2004/108/EC. For specified immunity all wiring should be in screened Remove the instrument terminal cover by twisted pairs. unscrewing the two captive 'A' screws.
When calculating the required span and zero is indicated by -1 and over-range by 1. If the settings the decimal point should be ignored. display range is not exceeded, the BA304ND will produce accurate readings outside the 4/20mA current range. Although not guaranteed, most BA304ND indicators will operate between 3 and 25mA.
